Will an external DAC help me?
My PC has weird noise whenever I do something on my pc like scroll around or opening a program. Correlates exactly. It doesn't matter if I use onboard sound or my creative 24-bit sound card. Will getting a usb DAC solve this problem?- Teraflame

Hearing problem?
For vocals, most songs have them right in the middle, yes? For a while now the vocals have shifted to be coming from the right more and its very frustrating for me. I don't hear anything like this outside of headphones.- Teraflame

My computer produces these weird noises and they're the same whether I use my UM3x, earbuds, or speakers. I can plug my stuff in the motherboard sound or my creative 24-bit sound card, the problem still persists. The amount of noise correlates to whatever I'm doing on my PC: like if I use a...- Teraflame

Hearing problem, what can I do?
It seems like I can't hear as well from my left ear compared to my right. It isn't noticeable normally but when I put on IEMs the vocals seem to come slightly to the right. There is also less detail/bass on the left side. Its not the headphones, I can swap L/R and it still sounds like this. I...- Teraflame

Preordered HF2, need amp/DAC to get ready
I really don't want to spend too much, the HF2 is already very pricey for me as is. Anyway, any advice on what kind of amp/DAC to get? Compass seems nice and all but spending another $300 is hard to do.- Teraflame
