Schiit Gungnir DAC

new AudioEngine HD3 speakers - stupid to be tempted by these?
bought them last week, had them since thursday march 30th. this is my first step into the speaker realm (i've been exclusively headphone) and i bought them for my PC since I hate using my monitor for sound (and didn't want to invest any money into crappy usb speakers under $30). They sound... -
iPhone 7 Official Thread - POLL
already got the s7 edge. started smartphone journey with an iphone 4s, had 32 gb. was kind of enough but towards the end wasn't. Realized I was paying a premium when there were better cheaper smartphones out there. Also like that i can upgrade the space by just buying a micro sd card...- kcazbarach

SchiitShow 2015 Impressions
will the multi bit upgrade affect simultaneous output at all? part of the reason (a big one) of me getting the gungnir was being able to use more than 1 output simultaneously. (just curious)- kcazbarach

Sennheiser HD518 HD558 HD598 HD559 HD589 HD579 HD599 Support Thread
as others have mentioned, go to the sennheiser site and get your warranty filled out. They pay for shipping, all you need to do is pack it and everything and send it back. I had an issue with a left driver on my hd 598s and it took like 10 days to get it back, but it is free- kcazbarach

No Shame on Audeze!!! Buyer needn't beware.
that's just insane. Now look from the customer service aspect, I can understand. How much past it's 3 years is it? but charging $800? That's excessive, the repair price should be close to what the part cost and maybe alittle for overhead and labor but I'm willing to bet a single...- kcazbarach

Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
Just a heads up, as an owner of both, the hd 598 imo is really a step up compared to the hd 55s overall. Now if you're using it solely for gaming, the upgrade may not be worth it. Also the hd 598s reached $99 price point around black friday so you could probably find some used ones...- kcazbarach

Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
forgive me if I'm "off" or wrong but You're dual amping with a stereo signal and a dh signal right? It might be why it sounds off, and I've had this issue when using the xbox 1 stereo adapter, dh just sounds compared to stereo and I think since it's a stereo signal for the mic which might...- kcazbarach

I can't help you out, but i'm having the same issue with the xb1 set up of xb1--->2011 mixamp---->hd598s/modmic . With the astro mixamp and trying to find a balance between chat and game. I pretty much have to adjust the game chat volume to find a volume level I'm comfortable with...- kcazbarach

Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
I can only comment on the hd 598 and he-400. The he-400 modded are alot better overall for music than the hd 598s, but that's assuming you do the grill mod and pad mods and then possibly EQ. Problem is that comfort isn't the best and it is heavier which means possibly buying a...- kcazbarach

Final Audio Heaven IV Review by mark2410
Helpful review, and I can't help but feel alot of your complaints came from the value (obviously valid). Well, I'm importing these from Amazon Japan for about $100ish (90$+import fees). You think that'd be more comfortable around that range? (USD 100) Originally I planned to get the...- kcazbarach

iPad as main hub?
pretty much apple's products are a pain to use a sepearate dac with and I believe for the ipods and iphones it's very expensive. do read that thread about the camera connection kit, but generally most people use a line out dock and an amp (portable or desktop)- kcazbarach

Schiit Gungnir DAC
so I read that the gungnir has simultaenous outputs. Does this mean I can use two amps at the same time with it? i.e. like one for me and one for my friend to test out another amp (we'd be hearing the same audio signal though I suspect right?) ex: Gungnir---->vali>>>headphone...- kcazbarach

Are counterfeit headphones common? Thoughts on buying used...
common? i'm leaning towards "kinda," because the ath m50s sony mdr v6, beats, and the sennheiser hd 598s are counterfeited alot. but I've never erally seen a hifiman counterfeit, and I've never seen a fake hd 650 (although I'm sure there are some out there), and I've never seen a fake audeze...- kcazbarach

Looking for a replacement for HD555
I owned the 555s, and it was my first entry into this world (though the ath m50s, the next headphone, actually brought me into the hobby to the point where it became part of my daily life). the 598s (which i bought 2 months ago), are a big step up from the 555s in comfort, and music. the...- kcazbarach

Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread
Recently purchased the HD 598s and Just tried them first time tonight.

Philips Fidelio X2?!
If i remember correctly, there was no way to replace the pads (by purchasing new ones) with the original x1s which really hurt their resale value and I believe there was some comfort issues. This is very interesting, that I chose to come back to Headfi after I make my headphone purchase...- kcazbarach

Avant le Schiitstorm: A Couple of Small Announcements...
can someone try to explain to me a pre amp. I'm assuming it goes DAC----->preamp--->Amp? so this could be useful in comparing DACS? I'm not into the speaker game and that's what I think is confusing me.- kcazbarach
