Has anyone heard of this headphone correction program? Here's a link but as usual the site collects cookies. https://www.sonarworks.com/truefi The claim is we're not getting the sound intended from studio producers and technicians with our headphones. You just start the program and type in your...

I have a pretty good DAC/DAP player which can be used as a DAC with my PC's USB output.   I'm wondering how to play my CDs without my PC with this DAC. I was hoping I could find a USB device I could connect to a digital out on my Marantz CD Player... but I'm having no luck.   So, what would...

I found my old Grado SR125's last night and haven't heard them in years. Now I find them incredibly shrill...however I can't hear them properly since the pads have disintegrated (so I just moved them around my ears without)   I'm now wondering if I can tame them with the mods I've been...

I have the Little Dot MK III Tube Amp which gets very hot. I want to place it on a CD Player for bedside listening but trying this last night kicked in some serious fan action from my CD player...it got too hot.   Does anyone know what I can do to keep the Amp from over-heating my player?  ...

Hello, Ever since I bought the Pono DAP I boxed up my Marantz CD 5003 and now rip my CD collection for the Pono when needed. The Pono sounds miles better to me.   For CD listening I've heard some use any old CD Player and focus more on a great DAC so now I'm wondering what it would take to...

I'm looking for a headphone that can be used with both my DAP and my desktop Little Dot Amp.   My understanding right now is If buy the smaller ohm version there will be a trade off since it will sound worse with the Amp.   Is this true or does it depend on the the headphone? Right now my...

Like most here (I assume) I've collected a few too many headphones looking for that right bowl of porridge. I now have a couple that I would like to sell but I know nothing of selling online since I've yet to do it.   My first question would be...how do I protect myself from scams? I noticed...

Hello, I'm trying to get the most accurate sound out of my laptops HP output for recording. I know this is not an ideal way of mixing but I can't afford buying any gear.   Right now my PC runs BEATS AUDIO which I know is far  from ideal.   I came across this article online and was...

Ok,   As most here know the best equipment can't polish a turd of a recording. Since I bought a HD DAP and uploaded a few of my CDs it's got me thinking about the recordings.   I'm now thinking that some recordings need to be EQ'd and some Producers/Engineers are expecting us to do it.  ...

I thought I'd post my recent experience with GHENTAUDIO I think others might be interested in.   I needed a special Cable for my Pono DAP to connect to my Little Dot MKIII Amps two rca's inputs.   Someone on one of the Pono threads posted a link to this page...

Does anyone know if a s/n number is hidden somewhere inside the AKG 601 Headphone (or any AKG HP)?

Hello, I ordered a interconnect that was suppose to be a 1/8 inch stereo plug to two rca males for connecting my DAC to my Amp. What arrived was just your typical rca cables.   So I'm wondering if using this...

Hello,   Which Company puts out the best bang for the buck interconnects. I'm looking for a 1/8 plug to two rca's Usually Chinese products fall under this category but I want to stay away from Ghent Audio.

Hello, Is it even possible to buy a DAC or DAC/AMP with a HDMI input?   I was hoping to find one for about $300.00 ( probably Chinese) but I'm having a hard time.   Any advice?

Hello,   I just realized today that I'm not getting the full SACD sound from the Analog outputs of my Sony BDP-S580 Player. I guess it only puts out the Hi Rez through the digital outs.   So, is there an affordable DAC that I can connect that will allow the full sound from SACD/24 bit USB...

Hello,   I have a bunch of 24 bit Flac files that I need to convert to WAV for one of my Sony SACD players.   Can anyone recommend a great Converter for this?

I thought I'd start a new thread so we can gather results from all the Headphones we've tried with the Pono  (good or bad) and any fixes that took them from bad to great.   The other day I got the 650's and gave them a spin on my Marantz CD Player connected to my Little Dot MKIII tube Amp. I...

I sure hope I'm allowed to post this here.   I'd like to warn other members of Adorama's policies.   I live in Canada and earlier this year I bought the AKG K601's from Adorama US online this year. Knowing they're an authorized dealer I thought I'd be covered if anything went wrong.  ...

Hello,   Can anyone describe the difference between these two headphones?   I have the K601's but I'm unable to audition the newer k612's.     Cheers

I've been a AKG fan for some time. While Sennheisers sound coloured to me AKG sound more natural.   So I want to ask others here who must hear things similar to me.   About a year ago I bought the K601's and love them. I've been using the 240's for many years before. However I just...

Can anyone recommend  Preamp or Equalizer for around $300.00 that can boost bass to my powered monitors when needed?

Hello,   I've had my head in the sand when it comes to DAPs because I only listen to music at home and in the car and thought all DAPs where compressed.   I listen to CDs at home with my Marantz Player running through a Little Do III Amp pushing AKG 601's.   Now with the introduction of...

Hello I'm looking for an Equalizer to tame harsh frequencies and boost bass when needed and the MiniDSP 2X4 has come to my attention.   I play CDs from my Marantz CD Player going to my Little Dot III tube amp pushing HD558's and K601's HPs.   I take it the MiniDSP is digital, yes? If so, is...

Hello,   I have a set-up which includes a Marantz CD player running through a Little Dot III amp pushing HD558 and K601 HPs   I'd like to add something in the chain to customize the sound with each CD recording (take away annoying frequencies and add bass when needed)   I thought I'd try...

I'm looking for something under $200.00 that will tame some recordings but won't degrade the sound if left flat.   Any recommendations?
