Years ago I put together a Meta42 amp which has served me well for the 10+ years.  I’m now curious if this unit is still considered a quality amp compared to what’s currently on the market.  For example, I’m considering an “upgrade” to something like a Magni 2 or even a FiiO but wondering if I...

Well I assume this post will get moved, but I couldn't help tapping into the brains of those who couldn't care about computer audio. Currently I have spent a lot of money since 2005 on using an M-Audio Audiophile USB-> Top of the line META42 for headphone usage. Clearly the Meta42 is not the...

Today I received the ER4-P's in the mail and am blown away. So much so that I really want to get the converter cable and use it with my amp. Looking around it looks like TTVJ has the cheapest cable, but also I found another one online. Does this one do the same thing...

I think we really need a meet going... I have an apartment in White Marsh that would be less than ideal for a meet...but if people want it here, I'm up for it... I just want to check out new technologies... All I have is Extigy, Audiophile USB, Magwires, Maxed Meta42, Beyer 770's...

I just wanted to make a quick thread for the under 25 yrs old crowd. More and more I feel that the opinions of headphones, and most speaker sites, are based on the old rock and roll music. I listen to a lot of techno, and a lot of other stuff too. I listen to, what seems like every type of...

Ok guys...I can't afford(want to afford) the every couple months upgrade to the best new DIY amp.....So the meta was the greatest thing 6 months ago...what happened...I've read about the new stuff...but where does the meta stand in comparison...Obviously the new is better but, serious, you guy...

I just upgraded my power supply on my Audiophile USB and it has made a dramatic difference and I feel like I am getting closer and closer to great sound... The issue however, is that no I can hear a lot of white noise in every MP3 and even CD that I play. I know that this might be a good...

Anyone up for a headphone swap? Basically a bunch of us put our headphones up to be swapped for a week? I don't know if this has been done before, but these high end headphones can't easily be found in store to listen to and I'm dying for to hear them... Other than ...I want to have a...

I just wanted to see if there would be any interest...it would be great to check out some new cans and amps... Dave

I'm not familier with the different qualities of AC Adapters, but if 2 are rated the same then can their be a difference??? I ask because I read the quote below and I would like to get the ATARI part that is mentioned, but only if the quality would be the same...(The last sentence is the...

I have an audiophile USB and I'm already wondering if it would be advantageous to upgrade the power supply...and if so to what. Thanks, Dave

I just recieved an audiophile usb that I'm running with a meta42 to some beyer 770's and the volume does not go as loud as I would like it to. I mean its pretty loud but I think I want it to be able to at least go louder... Would an adapter upgrade for the audiophile do it for me?

I just ordered an audiophile USB and it hasn't even arrived yet and I'm already wondering if it would be advantageous to upgrade the power supply and/or run an art di/o off of the thing. What kind of sound difference are we talking.... Just tell me to wait for it to come and be happy

I was looking for a good pair of RCA to RCA Interconnects for under $30. Anyone seen any good deals (new or used)?

Ok, I've been reading this forum for months and now I'm considering a new soundcard. I had the sonica but had some compatability problems...so now I'm thinking of the Audiophile USB...but before I get it I wanted to check on one other options to make sure it isn't better: A cheap...

I have a Sonica and I'm having some trouble during audio playback. I am periodically getting a loud scratching noise from the sound output of the card. The pattern seems random, and I assume that the scratch sound comes when the computer is processing, but I have monitered all file access and...

I'm just curious how much better the sonica sounds with an art. Currently I run a meta and a sonica hooked up.

Where does everybody go to talk about and learn about speaker equipt, and not just headphones. Preferably a place with a reputation like head-fi.

I have been running a Soundblaster Extigy and recently got an all out Meta to run my Beyer 770s. Today my sonica arrived. I expected a little change in clarity...BUT my god! This thing sounds sooooo amazing. So now I'm screwed, I've raised my listening to this level and now my car stereo...

I'm thinking of picking up a M-Audio Sonica or Theater, and I'm wondering what the advantage to also adding an ART DI/O would do for the system? Would the change be signifigant? Thanks,

Does anyone know of a good Audiofile grade large CD Changer (pref holding at least 200 CD's).

Does anyone have a link that I can find more info on this? How does it compare to the ART DI/O?

I'm going to be running a maxed out meta to my beyer 770's from either my computer or a Toshiba dvd player. I don't want to spend a ton on cables. What would you guys recommend. I guess it would have to be an rca -> mini. Dave
