So with a portable DAC/AMP it doesn't matter what laptop sound card you have, right?   Right now I have a MisterX HP DAC/Amp and Denon D2k. Was thinking of upgrading the amp, but just wanted to make sure whatever I get won't be limited by whatever sound card is on my laptop.

What's out there as far as replacements? I've finally tired of the stock cable, mostly because of how it kind of holds the shape after I take it out of the case. So I'm looking for something less rigid, but also something that sounds as good or better.   This Fiio one from Amazon is what I've...

I have a Markl modded pair of D2000s and just recently a little vibrating sound has developed when a song has really deep bass. First of all, would anybody know what, exactly, is the most likely culprit without seeing it. Also, not having any experience myself opening them up, would I risk doing...

First inclination is to look for an old Marantz on eBay. Are there any other specific brands/models that I should look into for the price?

Nevermind. Mod can delete this.

I saw in another thread that someone said you can use your headphones to play games if you get a 3.5mm to rca converter, so I bought one. Got it today, but the volume in the headphones was really low. I thought it would funnel all the sound through the headphones so I could just adjust the TV...

Simple question, should I get one or no. I've heard some things about hissing sounds and stuff so I'm not completely sold. Anyways, I have a Zune 80 and IE6 right now.

I'm trying to decide if I should buy a pair of d2000's and have them markl modded or get a pair of stock d5000's. do you guys have any input on which would sound better in the end?

Has anyone heard about or ordered anything from this site? I came across it when searching for a pair of Denons and everything is pretty cheap. R.E.M. UNLIMITED Any input would be appreciated.
