Windows 10: micro-glitches and dropouts?
It seems no matter which DAC, software, drivers, or output bitrate/frequency I use, I simply can't get flawless audio from my Windows 10 PC. Don't get me wrong: my audio *generally* plays just fine, and there are no indications of serious issues. Instead, I have just enough annoying...- ounwx

Best DAC for easy switching between speakers and cans?
So, here's my story. I'm currently rocking onboard sound (I know, I know) with a T-amp and bookshelf speakers. It actually doesn't sound bad at all with the T-amp connected through the back line-out port. However, the front-panel headphone outlet is rather noisy, and as a result I haven't been...- ounwx

Closed cans with forward sound and sparkly highs?
Does such a thing exist? I'm in the market for something in the $100-250 range. I'd be using it almost exclusively for rock music. Gaming and movies are not concerns. I recently went through a rather long and drawn-out hunt for speakers, and ultimately concluded that Klipsch best...- ounwx

Closed rock headphones for $150 or less?
I'm in the market for my first pair of "quality" cans (currently own the discontinued Senn HD497's, which are falling apart). I listen almost exclusively to modern rock music. My highest priority is that they sound good, clear, and forward with heavy rock music along the lines of Tool, Porcupine...- ounwx

Looking for 2.0 passive desktop speakers
I'm looking to replace my M-Audio AV-30's with something more suited to my tastes. After some research, I've decided I'll forgo active monitors and opt for a T-amp plus passive bookshelf speakers. Purpose: Computer speakers (95% music, 5% games/movies) Budget: $150-250 ...- ounwx

DAC in cheap receiver vs. onboard or cheap sound card
Long story short, I'm currently running M-Audio AV-30's through my Realtek onboard audio and looking for an upgrade. I pretty much listen to music exclusively, and due to desk space and living constraints, prefer to stick with a 2.0 setup. The way I see it, my options are either to upgrade...- ounwx
