WASAPI does not work on Foobar2000 with Essence ST
I downloaded the ST beta drivers that support ASIO, and set up my ASIO virtual device in foobar. Setting the output to ASIO works fine, but whenever another windows sound plays my music will hang, which gets really annoying I am trying to test out wasapi to see if it gets rid of the...- dlei6

Isone Pro - the best thing you could ever get for your headphones on your computer
Is it like some magic setting that while you are turning the dial and you get to your exact head size the difference immediately WOWs you? Maybe my ears are not very tuned then, since I hear almost no difference when moving the headsize dial from one end to the other... Is it possible that you...- dlei6

Isone Pro - the best thing you could ever get for your headphones on your computer
I'm trying to set up Isone Pro on foobar2000 and after reading this thread i am still extremely confused as to what people are doing... Right now my only active DSP is the George Yeohgn's VST Wrapper, set to Isone Pro. What else do I need? I tried to directly set this to Isone Pro Surround...- dlei6

Why does everyone love Stereo so much?
Quote: It's not just the seperation that concerns me though, its the lack of soundstage. To my understand your ears percieve music at different intensities and delays to differenciate the location of sounds, and that produces the difference in the soundstage - thats the theory...- dlei6

Why does everyone love Stereo so much?
Haha I thought I'd be happy for a loooong time upgrading from my DX->HD555 setup, but I guess there is always room to upgrade... Is it even possible to get really nice and convincing surround sound from headphones?- dlei6

Why does everyone love Stereo so much?
A lot of people swear by their Xonar ST/STX so I don't think I necessarily need tube amps to make my hd600s shine. What do you mean by artificial? I personally find that sometimes the stereo is too cleanly seperated and that tends to by extremely artificial (since we hear sound with both ears...- dlei6

Why does everyone love Stereo so much?
I just don't understand why people love pure stereo... I have a Xonar ST hooked up to a HD600, and i HAVE to have my Dolby Headphones turned on or everything just sounds horrible... I tried turning DH off for a while. Classical music sounded okay, but Rock was unendurable... everything just...- dlei6

Sound Quality: Xonar D1 + PA2v2 vs Zero DAC/Amp
My budget is pretty much $100-150, so either setup fits. I was just wondering which will provide the best SQ to drive a pair of HD600's? I've heard decent reviews on the Zero, but some people have also said that the Xonar uses a quality DAC, and the PA2v2 should be better than the Zero's...- dlei6

DAC/AMP for a computer
like i said, do you game or do you just listen to music? sound cards come with positioning effects you cant get from just a DAC/Amp setup, but sound quality suffers a bit. I like to do both, so I was just wondering if the soundcard -> DAC/Amp will even work :P no idea tho..- dlei6

DAC/AMP for a computer
Do you have a soundcard in your PC? Whats your budget? I have the HD555 right now, and my Asus Xonar D1 sound card just blows the onboard out of the water. I tested the setup with a FiiO E5 and a pa2v2 in between. The pa2v2 does sound slightly better, but if ur just entering the audio...- dlei6

PA2v2 good improvement for Senn HD555?
Hi guys, I have a pair of Senn HD555 headphones (50 Ohm ver.), and I am looking to improve my listening experience by getting a PA2v2 amp. Currently I own a cheap FiiO E5 amp, which makes bass sounds punchy, and maybe slighly clearer highs, but otherwise I did not notice too much...- dlei6
