Hello guys,    I have bought the AudioEngine D3 and I'm running in Linux (Ubuntu 14.04). It works very nice, after read all the thread I was able to make it work through PulseAudio using this settings on .asoundrc   pcm.D3 { type hw card "D3" } # Bind a default ctl to the underlying hw...

trog: Thank you, I will check that other one!    cel4145: Thanks for your advice, but I'm in Uruguay and here used stuff is expensive (yeah, stupid but true). So my option is to buy online, something like the lepai or indeed or topping will work great. I will check them out and post when I...

Cel4145: Thanks for your reply.   So I would need a amp, any other recommendation not so much expensive (within 50-100 USD) but a superior than the Lepai ? Or those Lepai are just good enough?   Thanks again.

Hello Guys,    I'm planning to buy a pair of Bookshelf speakers to use with my laptop, not decided yet but will be the Jamo S 602 or Athena AS B1. Anyway, the question that I was wondering is if my Behringer UCA 202 that I use as my headphones amp can power those speakers? If yes, which...

Hello,   I'm looking for an In-ear headset to use mainly for Skype/Google hangouts work meetings and phone calls but also to listen to music, under 50 bucks. I've a pair of Brainwavz R1 but unluckily not the mic version, they are great and I was looking for something similar in soundstage. I...

I was looking for a pair of IEM and decided to buy the Brainwavz R1, mainly because the black friday price and the reviews I found here. I bought them as a replacement of my Yamaha EPH-20 and I have to say that they are very nice. I agree with many that they are bassy and the mids are nice but...

Just an update, I have just see that the Lexicon works with 48Khz/24 bit max. I want something that can handle 24 bit/96Khz. Any recommendation ?

Hi guys,   I want a headphone amp for my laptop and I see one of these Lexicon on a good store in my country for 120 USD. It's a good price here, and also it's the best I have seen for that price. Apart from that I can get the Berhinger UCA222 for about 70 USD or a Line 6 STudio GX for 150...

PhoebeFairchild: Cool, thanks! I'll take a look to those ones, the problem I'm in Uruguay and here is difficult to get hardware cheap.. :(.    Andrés

Hi,    I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit on a HP dm4.   Andres

Hi guys,    First of all I want to say a big THANK for the guidelines here about good player for linux. Then, as a linux user and as a very beginner audiophile I want to improve my sound quality including an USB Dac to my laptop. I don't want to spent a lot of money, just less than 100 USD...

@WTFiretruck: I am not an expirence guy here, but I bought this headphone last week and I'm really happy with them. They are amazingly comfortable, and the sound quality is great. I use them at home right now, I think they are a bit "big" for use them on the go, but in the other hand they have a...

@meltie: Thanks again. Your suggestions make me take the right decision. If I'll buy an AKG headphone in a not near future, probably I would go with something higher :)  

Shure SRH440

Finally, I've bought the Shure SRH440, besides I've followed the advices from you guys, the other thing make me decide for the Shure was that the store that sell shure, let me try all the models, and give me very good advices about it. However, the store that sells the AKG, just didn't let me...

@meltie: Your reply is incredible helpful. I mainly hear to Jazz, Blues and some Tango too (Piazzola mainly), I use the headphones when working or studying mainly at home. Also, I hear some pop-rock like U2/Coldplay/The killers/Keane, but in the 95% of the times, quiet music like Jazz.  You...

G. Trenchev: Thanks, yes that is the other option, but they are a bit more expensive than SRH440, so if they are equal in quality/comfort as the Shure, I prefer the last.   Thanks!

@fabio-fi: Oh nice, so you recommend to go with Shure SRH440 too ?   That AKG k121 are crap ? Which AKG model would be the equivalent of a SRH-440 ?   Thanks!

Sorry, Thanks for your response @meltie!

Oh! Didn't know. The store that sells AKG currently have:  * AKG k121  * AKG k81  * AKG Q701 (totally out of my budget)   The one that sell sure has a lot of models, but the only I can afford are the SRH440. Also the gusy from the AKG store, has KRK ones, KRK 6400 like 20 bucks more than...
