Entry-level Toslink DAC?
Looking to spend <$200. My computer's 3.5mm jack is rather noisy and audible below "3" on my preamp. Two things is it must have Toslink in and RCA line out (preamp outputs need not apply). I guess the third thing is I wouldn't mind if it has a regular 1/4" headphone jack. I've been looking at...- Bobsama

Mid-to-High-End 'Phones
Hi everyone. I'm looking forward to making a big fat purchase this summer. Being me, I'm looking into various cans for $250-350. Here's the options that I see for myself, in no particular order...

Compass vs. Zero/L.D. MKV
Which would be better overall? I made a topic about it before but I never got a straight answer. I'd prefer to spend less, so how is the Audio-GD Compass with either AKG K701 or Beyer Dynamic DT880/600? I already have Senn HD-555s that I'd be holding onto. So, yeah. Which will do the job better...- Bobsama

Source Equipment Assistance?
Hey. Right now I'm looking for a sound card or DAC for my desktop. I'd love to spend <$100. For connection, PCI or PCI Express x1 works for internal. For external, USB, Firewire, or S/PDIF optical. I haven't S/PDIF coax. Any ideas? I was thinking of the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card for $100. I...- Bobsama

DAC? Headphone Amp?
I'm looking for a bit of an upgrade over my onboard Realtek ALC888 on my Abit IP35-E board. I'm thinking of an external DAC, but really what's a good choice on a budget? On a side note--the IP35-E has a S/PDIF Optical out, so I'd prefer to use that connector. And will I need an amplifier with...- Bobsama

Senn HD555 v. Senn HD280 v. A.T. AD700 (v. Sony V900HD)
Ok so I already own Sony MDR-V900HD's. I think they're a set of cans, but I'm looking for something a bit more comfortable. Two issues with these--first is that they really steam up my ears. The second is they're not as comfortable as I'd like. These are the second pair of full cans I bought...- Bobsama

Good Idea or Bad? Sony MDR-V900HD's
So, I took <3 minutes to decide to buy some new 'phones. I found Sony MDR-V900HD's for $45 on fleaBay. Are they worth $45, though? I was looking for some full cans to make an at-dorm replacement of my Koss PortaPros. The PortaPros are great, but the folding part of it was annoying me (as I wear...- Bobsama

Sennheiser HD201 Disappointment
So now--a short review and a plea for help. The Good: Overall good headphones for quality at the $20 price point. They sound very balanced to my ears. I'm driving them with Realtek ALC888 onboard sound (Abit IP35-E Rev1.01 motherboard), and they're pretty good. I'm happy with how dynamic...- Bobsama

Rock, Gaming, & Metal Cans -- <$40
Ideas? Primary use will be listening to rock. Secondary (but not far behind) will be gaming. After that, a little bit of metal. I'm ready to toss my MP3 earbuds when at my dorm. Budget is <$40. I just spend about $10 on the Zalman Zm-Mic1 for gaming (Xoxide), so I'd like to get something nice to...- Bobsama

Closed Cans for Rock & Gaming
Hi everyone. I'm pretty much just a n00b around the parts of quality headphones. After hearing (at times, excessively) my home system (a pair of old Polk speakers driven by a Sherwood amp, graciously on a long-term $0 rent from my die-hard-LP-fan audiophile uncle), I'm now in the market for a...- Bobsama
