    Review by 'Trickster5596' on item 'AKG K271 MKII Headphones'

    I originally ordered a K240, but due to them being out of stock, I was shipped a K271 MkII instead. Needless to say, I saved a lot of money on this pair. These were my daily drivers for about four years. I used them for my computer as well as for monitoring my electric guitar. I was surprised at...

    Review by 'Trickster5596' on item 'AKG K545 Portable Over Ear Headphone'

    The sound signature is relatively neutral with a moderate bass preference. I didn't use it all that much, but after around three years the earpads started to disintegrate. Another thing to note is that the metal strain relief broke off on one of the supplied cables meaning it could slide freely...

    Review by 'Trickster5596' on item 'AKG K612 PRO Reference Studio Headphones'

    These headphones were my daily drivers for a little over two years. They were also my first pair of open headphones. I retired them when the earpads became yucky, flat, and uncomfortable.

    Does anyone know how good the HT Omega Fenix is?

      Can I get a link for that $30 sound card and the listed SNR for the Fenix? I'm not sure I trust Creative to provide good drivers considering their track record for dropping support on their products. ASUS also seems to be dropping support as they still don't have W10 drivers for their Xonar...

    Does anyone know how good the HT Omega Fenix is?

    After doing some detective work (looking closely at photos and spec sheets for the other HT products.) I discovered that the Fenix has JCR 4580 op-amps which are the same as the Claro Halo and Halo XT which are both rated to drive 600ohm headphones. I still don't know if its a worthy upgrade...

    Does anyone know how good the HT Omega Fenix is?

    I'd like to clean up the cable clutter on my desk and get multi-channel audio for gaming by replacing my Fiio E10k with the HT Omega Fenix. It seems like there are no reviews on this item despite the fact that it is already at least a year old and HT Omega's site doesn't give much info on it...

    DAC for computer with beats audio

      Beats Audio is a really sneaky program. I've had the displeasure of owning a computer with such a program. Here are some of the things it does without warning:   1.Turn it off and it will mess with your windows default equalizer settings (On: +3db Bass, +3db Treble) (Off: -13db Bass +3db...

    Amp/Dac connected to Amp

    You can try plugging your headphones directly into the line out and switching the bass boost on and off to hear if there is a difference.

    Reply to review by 'trickster5596' on item 'Lumia 640 LTE RM-1072 Black - Factory Unlocked - International Version - No Warranty'

    Nice review. One thing though, I have Core Player on my Windows Phone and it can play FLAC files no problem.

    AKG Q701 vs ath-msr7

      That may be true, but the amplifier that OP has still cannot be used very well if they have to keep their Treble, Mid, and Bass knobs near, if not at maximum. This leaves very little sound customization available to the user.

    AKG Q701 vs ath-msr7

    I have the same amp. With all the knobs turned up to 10, it only reaches a moderate listening volume on my K612 (which requires similar amping to the K7XX.) I think you'd be better off getting the headphones you want for music listening and then buy a cheap, low impedance pair to use with the...

    Upgrade amplifier for K612 or stick with E10K

    Thanks for the clarification. That was the answer I was looking for.

    Upgrade amplifier for K612 or stick with E10K

    I think I will wait a while before I upgrade. Clearly there are many things I still need to research.

    Upgrade amplifier for K612 or stick with E10K

    I am looking for analytical sound, I don't care if analytical means "not ear-pleasing". Also, I'd like to stay away from tubes.

    Upgrade amplifier for K612 or stick with E10K

    I have no interest in replacing these headphones. If the fiio is really all the amplification I need, then my question has been answered. I was just wondering if it had enough power, not just volume.
