Hey all. Let me give you a little bit of my headphone background. Currently owning the Grado SR-80 and the Sennheiser HD-595 both powered by the Headroom Micro Amp. Soundcard is an external Creative X-fi (I have a laptop), output is foobar w/ kernal streaming. For a while I was really happy but...

http://shop2.outpost.com/product/498...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG Saw them at Fry's Electronics the other day and they looked pretty well built and closed. Looking for some on the go phones so has anybody heard these before?

hi guys. just switched from kernal steaming to ASIO dll for foobar. I noticed that other windows sounds still so this must mean it's not working properly? kernal streaming didn't have this problem. with ASIO enabled, the sound is still very different from the windows media player...mostly less...

Hi guys I'm thinking of getting an amp for my 595s. I am currently running out of the headphone out of my M-audio revo 5.1 card that is supposed to be a a little amplified but im pretty sure its not the last word in amplification. any suggestions for something around 60-70 preferabbly? how about...

Hi guys. Been reading this forum for quite a while now on and off, always wondering if I should put down tons of cash for a introduction to a high-end headphone, but never made up my mind. Finally, after using my Nano with the cheapy earbuds along with the KSC-75's, I decided to upgrade to the...

Hi all...I have some questions regarding my card. 1. Is it true that the rear channel DACs are better than the fronts? 2. Does the card use different DACs for each channel...or the same ones all across the board? Thanks!

Hi all. Had the 5.1 card for a while now, and I still think it sounds great. The analog output has kept me happy for about a year now. I find it more clean, and realistic compared to the iPod Shuffle's output (which to me, can sound a little sloppy and lack of warmth at times). However, I think...

Hi all, looking for a cheap (20-25 dollar) power strip conditioner. I've seen some of these at Bestbuy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1122655460903 Are they any good? I'm not really looking for any sort of improvement on sound, just protection from power outages and power spikes. I...

Hi guys. I have a question regarding volume control. I use the Swans speaker system along with foobar. Since the volume dial on the Swans are out of reach, I've always been using the hotkeys on my keyboard to change the volume of the M-Audio card. The problem is, it isn't very fine tuning, so it...

Hey guys. Just wondering...do you guys use resampling in foobar, if so which one? PPHS or SSRC? For about 1-2 years I've always enabled SSRC resampling to 96,000Hz. It seems to give a smoother sound to the top-end which I find enjoyable. Slow-mode or not I cannot tell the difference, but...

Hi guys. I own the Swans M200 monitor speaker system, currently hooked up to my Revo 5.1 source. The speaker came with nice, thick, 14 guage speaker wire, but rather a very cheap RCA(yellow and red marking) male > stereo mini male interconnect. I'm wishing to upgrade to something a bit better...

Hi all, I have the Swans M-200 speaker system and I'm looking for a good budget CD Player to go with it. I just want a straight foward CD Player. All it needs is the basic functions and can read regular CD's (no mp3 needed but would be a plus). I'm looking to spend 150-200 dollars. Can...

not quite sure where to post this but here it goes... im hooking up a dvd player + extigy + pm 2.1s. the dvd player has two (red and white) audio outputs so i'm using a two-rca>>female stereo adapter. then, im using a male mini to male mini to hook up to the line in of the extigy. last, my...

hey guys, just wondering, will they cost me an extra 10 or so on shipping because it is coming in imported from japan? or would the shipping be just like if i was ordering from a local store? thanks!

Wouldn't work with Foobar set at 24 bits with Kernal Streaming but works at 32 bits, any ideas?

hey guys, i need your help. i plan on upgrading my senn hd-497 to a nice headphone about in the 100 dollar range. are there any ones out there that are good UNAMPED? how are these ? any recommendations? ps - im planning to run these out of a m-audio 5.1 card, i heard this card had good...

Have any of you guys heard about/or heard both of these cards? Some say that the 5.1 has better DACs than the 7.1 but I also heard the other way around =/. Would the EMU card be worlds ahead above these cards for music? How would those to cards par up to my TBSC card for music production?

hey guys, new here and i'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum but here it goes! i currently own the senn hd497s that i got about 2 months back. sounds great! couple weeks ago i was browsing this forum and came across a review for the Beyerdyanamic DT 231 and claims its superior to the...
