    Help ID & appraise IEMs (Shure E5c I think)

    I'm not a big-time audiophile but have posted here in the past. In the midst of cleaning out my closet of computer/electronic gear, I came across these. Not even sure where I got them, but decided to give them a listen and noticed they sound pretty good. Going off what I've found via image...

    Maverick Audio DAC/Amp

    Quote: I don't think you defined the problem. Is it that there is no audio, or audio is not very loud?

    Maverick Audio DAC/Amp

    For those who own the D1, how do you think it would pair with the Ultrasone Pro 550 (64 ohm)?  Would the amp noticeably improve sound, or just make it louder? I may buy a DT770/600 in the future.

    Ultrasone PRO 900 Amp Suggestions

    I will comment that foobar2000 is great. I use that with the WASAPI plugin, which bypasses the windows kernel for sound processing.

    Yet another "What Should I Buy" Headphone amp / DAC thread

    Quote:   The tube on the D1 is only for the preamp, the headphone out is SS, and OP said he will be using headphones.

    Yet another "What Should I Buy" Headphone amp / DAC thread

    Hi, I have one of the "other threads" and I'm also looking at both the FUN and D1 as options within my budget. Good luck finding help and making a decision, I've found a general lack of help in the few threads I've made. If I purchase either of the above DAC/amp units I will be sure to let you...

    Recommend first DAC/Amp for low-impedance cans. Please!

    Any suggestions? I'm really in between the FUN and the TubeMagic right now.

    Recommend first DAC/Amp for low-impedance cans. Please!

    Thank you. I have read several favorable reviews for the EF2A, its only limitation for me is lack of output options. After doing more research I'm also looking at the Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1 and possibly a used Audio-gd FUN. Leaning more toward the D1 right now, does anyone think it would be...

    Recommend first DAC/Amp for low-impedance cans. Please!

    Hi all. I currently frequent this forum, and while I don't know as much as I would like about audio, I'm always eager to learn. My current setup is a Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer PCI audio card with Ultrasone DJ1 Pro (same as Pro 550). After realizing that I do about 70% music listening and only...

    Need new DAP (sub $100)

    I've had my 1st gen iPod nano forever now, and I'm really getting tired of it, mainly the fact that its only 2GB   I would like to get something thats 4GB with expandable (microSD) memory. I looked at some iRivers b/c I heard they were good, but found only touchscreens. I need something more...

    Ultrasone DJ1 & DJ1 Pro Differences?

    Well...thanks for the help and stuff I guess.   I think I'm finally ready to purchase the DJ1 Pros, despite the fact that I've seen more attractive cans in my lifetime. Hopefully they have more bass quality/quantity than my MDR-7506.

    Razer Megalodon

    Just get a sound card. I got the Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer used for $35 shipped. As far as I'm concerned, gaming surround headphones with multiple speakers are garbage, when its that close to your head it doesn't matter how many different speakers are in your cans.

    Headphone Suggestion

    I have the same headphones and I know what you mean. I'm using an x-fi XtremeGamer sound card, and it sounds great for most stuff, but occasionally I listen to dubstep and the bass is pretty accurate, its just lacking something. Any bass boost, even directly from the volume panel, makes it sound...

    Ultrasone DJ1 & DJ1 Pro Differences?

    Thanks. Mainly I was just wanting to know if what I had listed were the only differences between the DJ1 and DJ1 Pro, and how different the S-Logic Pro is from regular S-Logic or if its just marketing.

    Any stores to try on headphones?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I just spent some time calling around to major stores such as Guitar Center as well as smaller audio retailers. No luck. In fact, none of them even carry the headphones I'm looking for without a special order. You would think there would be some place for people like...
