hi guys,    just bought a pair of hd600 for cheap and now im looking for an amp for them. i currently have an iBasso D10 DAC/amp. ive been looking at the Fiio E9 for a while now, using my D10 as a DAC and the E9 as an amp, but ive seen a lot of people complaining about the SQ of the E9.  ...

hello to everyone.   first off, a little disclaimer: i am a lowly sales adviser for a major UK store and head office have asked what premium headphones the company should stock through out 2012. i will not say which store i work for, all i will say we are big in the UK and electronics is a...

hi guys   my knowledge of electronics is non-existent and i have no tools or anything to make my own impedance adaptors. ive had a company in china quote me 60$ inc shipping (£38) for 6 impedance adaptors and i was wondering if anyone in the UK could beat his quote. heres what i want, mostly...

hi there,    looking to upgrade from my ibasso D10 to something a little more powerful. it hasnt left my desk for almost 2 years and im thinking it would be best to sell the little blighter and get a full blown desktop amp.    i use both the USB and optical inputs on the D10 and the AUX...

i have a feeling this question is going to be a can of worms/flame bait, but I will ask anyway because its been bugging me for years.    how do people differentiate "good cable" from "standard cable"? I see a lot of people talking about mogami cable, vampire cable, cryo cable etc etc, but...

first off, i love my 780's, but after listening to the head direct RE0's since i got them im after something a bit more neutral. id like to keep the detail, but just flatten the response a bit. ive fiddled with EQ's n everything and that has been nice, but i get the feeling something else is...

hi. as the title suggests im upgrading my IEMs. i recently bought a pair of ultrasone 780 full size headphones and an ibasso d10 amp, and I'm just now looking for some IEMs. as much as i like my ultrasones, i would prefer something with a flatter response, but that can still do nice, deep and...

im looking for a digital cross feed since my amp doesnt have one. has anyone found one for foobar? im currently using bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP plugin, and it seems to do the job - theres a deffinate difference - however it seems to recess the mids slightly and decrease the overall...

hello there head fi! first of, thankyou to everyone who gave me advise on what headphones to buy, and what amp to put them with. i am now the proud owner of a pair of ultrasone 780's and an ibasso D10. im hoping this setup will last me a good while. the reason for this thread is to ask...

ive been looking at options for getting superior sound out my laptop, and the zero seems quite well recieved, as does the ibasso D10 as USB DACs. (zero with USB to optical convertor) what im trying to decide is whether to get a zero DAC AMP for at home, then something like a hot audio AMP...

ZERO DAC w/USB-optical out hi there. ive been looking for a DAC + AMP for my ultrasone 780's and the ZERO seems to be pretty well loved here. only problem is my laptop doesnt have an optical out. i then found the above auction that advertises a USB to optical link so that i could use the ZERO...

hi there. my emu 0202 i bought broke in 3 days, so after getting a refund on that im now looking at getting something else. i currently own a pair of ultrasone HFI 780 and need an external DAC for my laptop. a headphone amp would also be nice to drive them a bit better. i also have a...

hi guys n gals. im after the best headphones i can afford. ive got a budget of around £130 (just under 200 bucks (the price ive found the 780's for in the UK)) i would prefer a flat response rather than a bass-and-nothing-but response, but would like an enjoyable and fun headphone to a...

hi guys ive had a good look around the forum, but ive finally given in and decided I'm gonna have to bother you guys with my problems. sorry! anyway, I'm looking for a good audio upgrade to last me a long time. an investment if you like. currently i own koss portapros and sennheiser...
