Hey guys I am looking for good quality earphones (IEM) under £50.   I have had the Soundmagic E10's before but do not fit in my ear well and don't seal properly.   The only shape that I find comfortable is the ones that come free with the samsung galaxy s3   Do you have any...

Hey sometimes it can be the simplest things eh :) Im glad you found a workaround I gotta try it, as I have a mic aswell and cant stand the latency through playback so thanks. As for Asio, if you click on the 'Xonar U7 Audio Centre' at the top somewhere will be a button that Said 'ASIO', If you...

That's great I have to use high gain for some reason, Think im gunna send it back for a replacement. Are you plugging in the keyboard in the same usb slot as the U7?  And are you selecting line in for the guitar?

Yeah I have tried every possible setting, even turned Dolby on, It's just strange that I have to put volume at 100% all the time.

Hmm then it's probably worth buying from the UK and waiting a couple extra days, But see how your headphones work with the U7 first :) I only need the amp as I use a VST player that sucks when you turn it up haha.

Hey thanks for replying, Well you say the highest gain setting is 150 ohms, but my high gain setting said 'For headphones <64 Ohms' IS that not normal?

Nice it is very good, It's an all rounder for me :)    Yes the O2 is excellent, Which country are you in? and it doesn't really change the sound, it's just a really good amp, I use the sound card to change the sound.   You would be surprised how small it is as well. (That's what she said)

Hey maybe I will when I get my setup sorted :) haha Im not that good though.   I use galaxy painos  http://www.galaxy-instruments.com/galaxy-pianos.html   I have them all and sound excellent :) Can't believe how much better they are than having an upright in your home. 

Oh it must have been the E11 I think :)

Oh I didn't realise you could use it while charging :/ I remember one not allowing you to do that. I think it was the E12

Im afraid I have a laptop so need an external one. WHOA AT 40% I CAN BARELY HEAR MINE!. What's the amp like compared to the U7? I have to put it at 100% at high gain on my HD598's :(    I bought a Objective 2 of a great guy in the UK who builds them at awesome quality, so that's my amp sorted...

Thanks for the help but I went for the Objective 2 amp in the end, Nice choice though it got some good recommendations :)

No problem xerxe,   Well I use a midi keyboard and a headphone out to for my piano, But that will soon be connected to the objective 2 amp. And yes try out the amp on the U7 first, Mine gets loud but I want to avoid turning volume up in Kontakt.   Also I have been searching for something...

That is Awesome, you have made my day, that is exactly what I wanted to hear :)   This means I can use the O2 for playing piano, listening to music and games. But also have the U7 for my Mic, Dolby and EQ and 7.1 if I ever want to. One last question, On realtek there was an option to turn Mic...

Thanks for the advice :) But as I don't need a portable amp, I am pretty keen on getting a Objective 2 amp so it will be:   Laptop < USB < Xonar U7 < 3.5mm Jack Line in to < Objective 2 < 3.5mm to HD598's    This way I can make use of my awesome U7 and amplify with minimal distortion :)   ...

I find that if I am using youtube etc I can turn the volume up in flash player and that's good enough but in Kontakt player that causes distortion. The pianos are really good but something in my setup makes my Kontakt distort. I really like the Xonar U7 because of all the features. I found an...

Hey guys,    I just need an amplifier for my headphones coming out a Xonar U7. It doesn't have to be portable or have any special features except be able to drive sennheiser HD598's. I can't find any good ones anywhere, my Xonar sucks so bad because the amp is crap so I really need help...

Thanks for the reply, I like the Fiio one.  A few questions if I may: 1.Does charging and using at the same time cause interference (If not how long does it last?) 2.can it accept an analogue input such as 3.5mm jack? 3.Will it change the sound effects or quality of my U7? 4.what kind of...

And also the ASIO has 4ms latency on 16 or 24 bit. It can be changed if you want to higher levels maybe to increase sample size if you need it. My main problem is I have 50 ohm headphones (HD598's) and is too quiet when using Kontakt player to play piano. I need a headphone amp to put after the...

Hey just to answer a few questions about the U7, Yes the line in is for a Mic, it is stereo so you have the option to plug in a Mp3 player etc. (The control panel lets you choose whether the input is Line in or Mic) It has a tremendous Mic boost, I have it on 10% haha. I haven't found a way to...

I was thinking:   Laptop>Xonar U7>Fiio E12>HD598's   The Fiio doesn't have a dac does it? I dont want it to change the signal of the Xonar.   Thanks

Wow that was fast! and that stack is huge! How much are they?   And also as I am on my laptop is there a more portable option?

Hey guys just a quick question, I have some Sennheiser HD598's plugged into a Xonar U7, and either the Xonar is faulty or the headphone amp is crap because I can comfortably listen to music and play piano at 100% at full gain :/ I think my on board sound is just as load actually.    I wish to...

Thanks for the advice guys, I checked the usb 2.0 setting and it was on.   So maybe this isn't good enough to drive these headphones :/ I tried a usb powered hub and that made no difference. I can comfortably listen at full volume on high gain. This is trouble if I want to play piano.   Do...

Oh :( I read the review but didn't think it would be this quiet. I will try the USB hub anyway as I have ordered one. It may have to do with the fact I am using a midi keyboard as well as the soundcard next to eachother.    What external Amplifier do you recommend with the asus as a dac?  ...
