    Replacement Headphones; New recommendation needed.

    I was going to buy the NS1000s on play.com for £50, put the deal ended yesterday My original plan was to buy these and the sjays for about £85 total. Strikes me as a bit of a waste to get 2 pairs, so now have £85 to spend on a portable pair, which I am going to amp through a fiio e5...

    DFX / PC Audio Enhancers

    DFX / PC Audio Enhancers

    I recently discovered DFX 8 while searching for a way to get my music to sound better. As soon as I got it and started to fiddle with the settings it had a huge effect on my music, moreso than if I were to buy expensive headphones I was just wondering if there are any other similar software...

    Am I ripping my music right?

    I'm don't really know what I'm doing in terms of ripping music and retaining quality. I've developed this method after some internet research, and I think it sounds quite good. I am however unsure what BR I should be setting my music to. Ripped from CD with EAC Encode with LAME to v0...

    Everyday headphones for under £50 ($75)?

    I brought a pair of goldring GX200s from play for £17.99 and I really expected a bit more for headphones that usually sell at £50. Last week the left earphone stopped working, so I have my money back. I'm have a sansa clip and use a fiio e5 but the only headphones I have are Grado Sr60s. The...
