Looking for a nice DAC/AMP combo but also eyeing the Apogee ONE as I record a lot too. How does this compare to other DAC/AMP combos for the price range? I heard it's quite good.  Maverick D1? 

I just bought an Apogee One for recording purposes and wondering how it fairs to my Maverick D1. I've only had a chance for a quick comparison and it seems the One is clearer but this could be due to the lack of bass (or rather muddy bass from the D1).  Does anyone know which one is supposed...

Hello. I've had my MS-1i for about 3-4 months now and I'm enjoying them greatly. I tried putting them directly into my sound card (Xonar DX) and did not like it at all. Boomy bass, smaller sound stage, and overall not as good. I plug them in my (self-amped) speakers - M-Audio AV40, which...

Hey guys, I've been using my AV40 speaker's amp to amp my headphones. Apparently they were quite good (so I thought), as there is a thread somewhere on Head-Fi saying that they ran their HD600s/650s through them and they sounded quite nice. I have the MS-1i's. I can almost tell that the highs...

UPDATE 03/08/09: SINGLE RELEASED & ANOTHER TRACK (non single) Uprising: Click to listen United States of Eurasia: Click to listen Uprising sounds awesome, a hard(er) rock take on Goldfrapp or something. More serious. United States of Eurasia is a 'tongue-in-cheek-' song, meant to be...

I love the JVC RX700 and have put in an order for MS1i. It has been two weeks+ since, and not even credit card charged yet (which sucks because the conversion rate was better back then .. USD --> CDN). I am now second guessing if I want them, the 'lack' of bass might make me feel like it's...

Hey guys, I want to try a new headphone, something that does what I like better. I have the RX700's right now, and do love them. I very much like how they sound. What can be had for $140 CDN (taxes + shipping included)? I listen to a lot of rock/metal/progressive and some techno/electronica...

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if Xonar DX is the best possible option for me, I have M-Audio AV-40s and JVC RX700.... so no 5.1. I do play games and watch a lot of movies, but music is the most played thing. Will the Xonar DX do anything for me in movies/games with just 2.0/headphones that a...

Hello, I'm wondering what source I should get... moving away from onboard audio now... What's the best I can get for around $100 or under? Canadian of course =). I have JVC HA-RX700 headphone and M-Audio AV-40 speakers. The speakers have a built in headphone amp which sound great and have...

Hello, I'm a long time lurker but new member to Head-Fi. Enjoy looking at people's various setups . Anyways, I was about to get the JVC HA-RX700 but it looks like there's no way unless spending lots of customs (I live in CANADA). So I will get a DAC or Sound card with the money I have. So...
