    Power Cables... Really?

    A classic.   Quote: Nonetheless, I eagerly await the time for the notorious pro-cable army to be recognised for what it actually is; a bunch of scientifically ignorant internet personalities arguing about the infallibility of their senses and the suspension of the laws of physics.  ...

    why do i need a sound card?

    Quote: Head Relative Transform Functionality (HRTF) is generally done by the sound card's drivers on the computer, not on the sound card itself. Fail. You can easily download software that will help you achieve the same result online. If you really want to be pedantic, if the sound card...

    why do i need a sound card?

    Quote:   Care to elaborate on those features? And 'chipset' is just a generic term...   P.S. had you read my post I had already said soundcards offer more features, I referenced hardware accelerated EAX in my post above... I'm aware there are subtle differences but for the purposes of...

    why do i need a sound card?

    A sound card and DAC are essentially the same thing. Both take a digital signal and convert it to an analog one. The analog signal can then be amplified (via a headphone out for example).   For gamers, the only thing a sound card may offer over a DAC is EAX support etc.   Quote:

    Ideas to "Lift" my Audioengine A5's?

    Quote:   You really need to get banned. If you still haven't realised, your behaviour is completely unacceptable, and further, no-one actually agrees with you. 'Ignorant cretin' is a sadly ironic insult in your case.

    why do i need a sound card?

    Quote: That's interesting, what model do you have?   IIRC, Apple removed the expresscard slot on the June 09 models and replaced it with an SD card reader.

    What is a good headphone for house music production in Abelton Live ??

    Quote: I'm sure I would, soundstage-wise, but that's why I have my studio monitors. The 70x's are famed for the lack of bass, but I'll try and get my hands on a pair to test it out.

    Quote: Lolwtf.   It was a humorous point that was actually valid. For the record I do own a Macbook Pro and occasionally play games on it, but if gaming was your primary goal then lulz are certainly in order.   That aside,   For gaming sound can certainly make quite a big...

    Foobar for Mac?

    Quote: I think there would be no point because you would lose the chance to be bitperfect. Not sure if foobar would translate well into coreaudio and what sort of transport is used in the Windows 'bottle' to get the sound to the host OS (OS X).   A simple alternative would merely be...

    What is a good headphone for house music production in Abelton Live ??

    Idk if I could use the K70x's personally, looking at their FR graph and looking at the major frequencies used in house. I mainly produce dubstep and use my HD25s and HD600s w. KRK monitors via an Apogee Duet and don't find the 25s lacking in 'dynamics' if by that term you mean merely 'variations...

    How to improve the sound of Senn's HD-25 II?

    I own these 'phones and put a HD600 cable on them but cables change nothing in my personal experience (and scientifically I might add). If you haven't got the one with velour pads I recommend replacing the cheapy plasticky ones with velour and that does add a bit more width between the drivers...

    A (better sounding?) alternative to Foobar2000 -OR- A musing in the realm of bit-perfect streaming

    Good speakers + no dac OR Decent speakers + usb dac

    I would, if possible, listen to the Swans, AudioEngines, KRKs and even eSI near 08's or behringer truths in that price range and compare them. The competition is quite fierce so it's hard to choose just based on internet reviews etc.   I ended up with the KRKs but they really need to be...

    A (better sounding?) alternative to Foobar2000 -OR- A musing in the realm of bit-perfect streaming

    As for EQ, I use various solutions all the time when I'm mixing in Logic or Ableton. I just use Logic's inbuilt Audio Units but various commercial and freeware offerings present different results because they use a variety of math to colour the sound.   Quote:

    Quote: Relax. The post you quoted, ironically, was sarcastic - sarcasm can be hard to convey over a text medium.   You seem to be perry's fanboy, hence the the phrase 'ghost account'. The connotations were more important than the denotation.

    Ignorance is bliss.   Responses in bold. I've had enough of this guy, reason doesn't break through to him, so ad hominem happily included.   Quote:
