My friend said that Bose headphones are amazing. I asked him to name some headphone manufacturers; he picked out Bose, Skullcandy, and Dre Beats.  

  Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country   Great to see some Elbow in this thread. Here's one of my favourites from them.  

Quote:   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/413900/how-to-equalize-your-headphones-a-tutorial   Quite a lengthy thread, but try it out and you might find a difference.  

Yeah, I guess visually you can make the GUI on Foobar2k quite stunning   I was suggesting that some features available on mediamonkey are not offered on foobar (or at least I think.)   I am pretty sure you cannot sync on foobar. MediaMonkey, however, does offer syncing for many media...

Hopefully there isn't another thread on this specifically, I did a search but there were too many results to wade through.   I listen to my Denon D2000s every day, and it seems that the volume of my music changes every day. I am running them straight out of my sound card, and I do not tinker...

Quote: Does clipping caused by the amp being overdriven damage the headphones themselves? If not, does overdriving the amp cause damage to the amp itself?

Thom Yorke - Black Swan   Kills my ears every time I listen to it.   I also like Boards of Canada - Peacock Tail for some deep, melodic bass

I believe that MediaMonkey also supports a lot of music players. I used to use it to sync everything with my Sansa Fuze. It crashes on startup with my iPhone connected though, so I assume that Apple products are incompatible with MediaMonkey (I am not 100% sure about this one).

Foobar2000 is a favourite around here.   If you're looking for something more visually appealing then try MediaMonkey. I like to use it for auto-organizing my files but I use foobar for playback.

  Mogwai - The Hawk is Howling   Just seems... more organic than other post-rock albums. Organic might not be the right term, but there is something in this album that hits me.

Biosphere has some pretty good ambient albums. I haven't really given a good listen to his music yet, but it is definitely worth a look. Try out the album Substrata first. It is very ambient: the music is built on textures rather than melodies and harmonies.   As for myself, I listen to...

Hello,   In terms of an entry level (around 150$) DAC/amp as an upgrade from onboard sound, would a audio-gd sparrow do the trick or should I be looking for other alternatives?

Hello, head-fi. First post here, but I've been browsing the forums a bit for about a month now.   I currently have a pair of Denon D2000s running straight out of my desktop's motherboard. I haven't listened to any setup other than this one and due to the lack of audiophile friends / meets /...
