Where are Audio-Technica headphones made?
Their website claims it's the same place as their main offices but the building is so small. How could they make all of these products in such a small place. If you know where do they make everything?- Zoltan99

Looking for alternatives to the Audio Technica ATH-A700
The ATH-A700 and the ATH-A500 before the 700's have served me well over the last 7 years. They offered me pretty good sound quality and were rather comfortable. The only downside I can see in them is the build quality. The ear pads wear down rather quickly, wires become twisted inside and...- Zoltan99

Would an Audio Technica ATH-A700 benifit from an external Dac/Amp.
I was told at first I would see an improvement on these headphones from an amp/dac like the audio-gd FUN. Then after I got the unit, and was dissatisfied with its improvement, people are now telling me that my headphones really could never benefit. So will the A700's benifit at all, would they...- Zoltan99

Ear Pain with new Equipment
Does anybody else get ear pain when they get new equipment? I just got a Audio-gd Fun and while the amp/Dac sounds good, my ears hurt. Not that much, but they feel kind of tired or stressed. The same thing happened when I switched headphones from my Audio-Technica ATH-A500 to A700. Is...- Zoltan99

Audio-gd Fun DIR9001 Vs DIR8416
I emailed audio-gd, but didnt get a response as of yet. I mainly listen to rock/metal music and watch action movies. I dont think any of my music is 24/192Khz, but it may be in the future who knows. Im a bit worried about the DIR8416's jitter and soft rich sound, like the website says. ...- Zoltan99

How much of a realistic improvment from soundcard to Dac/Amp?
I know I have been told a few times that a Amp/Dac combo like the Audio-gd Fun will give me great results. But just how much better is it compared to a standard soundcard or something like the $50-$100 range soundcards. I know its hard to be objective, but id like some scale of what to...- Zoltan99

What else should I consider?
I have been convinced that a Dac/AMP is the proper move for me to make. So far I have only considered the Audio-GD Fun Basic and Sparrow Basic USB as well as the Zero. Are there any other Dac/Amp combos that compete with these in terms of value for the money? I mainly listen to rock/metal...- Zoltan99

Dac for Computer [Sparrow, Fun, Zero]
Upon asking for questions about the Xonar it was brought up to me that the audio-gd brand was quite good, after my doubts of the Dac. I will mainly be using Dac for computer audio. Watching Movies and TV, as well as listening to lossless music. I may play a few games, but rarely. So far its...- Zoltan99

How much of a benifit from Xonar STX compared to lower end Xonar models?
I can buy the STX for my Audio-Technica ATH-A700, but if I don't need to id rather not. My main use is lossless music, but sometimes play a game. I watch a lot of TV/Movies as well. So is the STX really worth it over the D1/DS/DX/D2X? I like the Xonar because it seems to have decent Linux...- Zoltan99

Amp/Dac Recomendations, instead of soundcard.
As I mentioned in the other thread, all I will listen to is music, no gaming. So if I were to use a external Dac/AMP instead of a soundcard, or use the on-board spidif to a Dac/AMP what would be a good choice? Ive been reading for days and Its still all of a blur at times. Also as a...- Zoltan99

Audigy died, need a replacment for music and videos only, No gaming.
My Audigy 2 ZS got shocked through my headphones via some static electricity and now the sound is all botched especially at higher volumes. I don't game any more, and only listen to music and watch TV/Movies on my computer. So I need a replacement which is hopefully better at music(mostly flac)...- Zoltan99
