I recently picked up an E-MU 0404 PCI for music listening through my Audioengine a5's and my various headphones + amp, but for the life of me I cannot get my X-Fi to play nice with the card (or possibly the other way around). Both cards work flawlessly when installed stand alone without the...

Is it just not there in the first place? I have two boxed sets of their stuff along with various other remastered albums and I am very unimpressed with their recording quality. I love their music so it is bearable but what are some of your guys opinions of their recording quality? Are there any...

Now I know why I picked up these AKG K501's! They have been sitting in their box for months now (tried them with the majority of my music collection which consists of mostly rock - bleh). I just randomly happened to hear part of Dvorak's 7th and had to hear more so I went out and picked up...

Well recently I picked up a Headroom Micro amp and currently have it plugged into my X-Fi XtremeMusic, so there is a double amping going on which I do not like the idea of. I currently own Senn. HD555's, HD580's, and a pair of AKG K501's. I like the sound but with certain recordings there...

Man this player looks great. I previously had a Samsung YP-MT6 and wasn't happy with its playback quality. This player has everything I want (not necessarily need ). What is making me lean towards the X5 is the support of many file formats, mainly Ogg Vorbis. One thing that has me hesitant is...

Well I took the plunge and picked up a Samsung YP-MT6 and I have a question about it. I have noticed when playing back anything there is an underlying noise - sort of like a dog whistle but not as sharp and loud, this is at the base of everything I play. I didn't notice it with the crappy...

Well I just finished building an amp, thanks to this great guide: http://www.tangentsoft.net/audio/cmoy-tutorial/ . Was simple enough to put everything together but now that I have it all finished when I adjust the volume with a Panny 10K pot I get some weird distortion (only with Audigy 2...
