Hi,   Thanks for the recommendation. I still haven't gotten one though ><   Anyways, sometimes my amp does this quiet but really annoying clicking sound. It's quite fast and usually only in one ear. Usually it goes away after a while, or after I move the cables around. Any idea what this is...

Hey guys. I have an Aune T1. Just moved into college, and I noticed that everytime I turn on my desk lamp, my amp pops a few times (according to the flickering of the lamp as it turns on). I've googled this problem and it seems like there's no good fix for it, since I can't exactly change too...

PurpleAngel, turns out you were right. I tried a different Aune T1 unit at a different store, and it sounded great. It's seems to make the bass go lower without emphasizing the lower end very much. Nothing like the other Aune T1 I tried.   Anyways, I've decided to go with the Aune T1 for my...

Just noticed that the Aune T1 needs 96 Khz input. I was using 48 Khz if I remember correctly. Could this affect what I was hearing? I was, however, using 24 bit audio. And thanks for those recommendations, but a few of those amps are over my budget. Though, while I appreciate the...

So I take it that the Aune T1 isn't supposed to have terrible bass? Can someone elaborate on how it would affect the bass in my headphones, or describe the overall sound signature of the Aune T1?

So if I'm not mistaken, the bass with the Aune T1 shouldn't be bad at all right? Is the sound signature of this amp and DAC combo "thin"? I did leave the T1 plugged in to warm up for about 30 minutes. Anyways, I haven't bought the T1 yet. It was just a sample at some audio shop that the...

I did try Foobar2000 for a bit, but I didn't notice any difference from Winamp, so for most of the time I was trying the T1, it was using Winamp. Also, the unit I was trying was brand new, if amps and DACs also benefit from "burn-in". Though to be honest I find it hard to believe that burn-in...

I used USB.

I'm looking around for a headphone amp and DAC combo. I primarily use a pair of Sennheiser HD558s, but also have a set of Alessandro MS1i and Audio Technica M50s. I listen to almost every type of music, from classical to rock, jpop, and trance. I'll be using the gear straight from my laptop...

Thanks for the advice guys.   The Sony PHA-1 is a bit more expensive of an amp and dac combo than what I was looking for, but I have read positive reviews about it. I'm also not buying an amp for portable use, so I don't really want to spend the extra money for the battery and smaller size...

Hey! I've been lurking around for a while but this is my first post on Head-Fi. (whoops, realized it wasn't. lol)   Anyways, I've been looking around for IEMs for portable use, as well as an amp (or amp/dac combo) for desktop use. I plan on using the amp primarily with my pair of HD558 but I...

Thanks for the thorough reply. Just to clarify though, I was expecting the M50 to be a neutral headphone with an emphasis on the bass, exactly like how a lot of reviewers described them. Just like you said, I've been able to hear some differences between the two - to me the MS1i sounds more...

If the OP could help me out a bit...   I just bought a pair of M50s, so they're not burned in. However, compared to the pair of Alessandro MS1is I have, I honestly don't feel they're too much different. (I was looking for something different and neutral compared to the Alessandros). From...
