    Review by 'd1554573r' on item 'Sennheiser MOMENTUM On-Ear Headphone'

    I've recentlty bougth them for office. All i wanted was a pair of fairly decent cans within the budget ive prepaired for this occasion. Unboxing was a surprise, in the package we get a nice pair of switchable cabels, one for "iPod" with a mic and volume control , and the regular straight one...

    best sounding 6922/e88cc tubes :D

    I can recommend Tesla e88cc with gold plated legs. I've found one in an old radio in my attic, tried it just for fun and it stayed for good.   Previosly i've been using some 12au7 and few ecc88. This one brings extremely detailed soundstage and vocals, it even bested my previously fav tube...

    Bit Perfect Audio from Linux

    About Audacious, the winamp interface isn't it's default UI, normaly it looks like deadbeef or gmusicbrowser with its GTK ui :)  Take it for a spin :) it's much more advanced than deadbeef.

    Bit Perfect Audio from Linux

    Heh, I guess You made it clear enough now :) I had no such problem with deadbeef, nor with xbmc.   About Deadbeef, the major con for me right now is the lack of support for plugins in 64 bit version, I mean we can compile them on our own but I've runed into the same problems You did. PPA...

    Bit Perfect Audio from Linux

    I wonder what do You mean by gapless playback? If it's a crossfade effect, thats something that most of us diehards here try to avoid :P after all its an additonal postprocessing :)   Anyway I would like to recommend You few alternatives to Your current media players (for real dont use VLC...

    Bit Perfect Audio from Linux

    Hi again guys!   After nearly a year playing around with a different setups, it came out that the best sounding setup is one of the easiest ones. The only con is that it requires USB DAC accepting SPDIF signal (aka SPDIF over USB) works with most players (XBMC, Deadbeef). All You need is...

    Bit Perfect Audio from Linux

    Linux audio is a mess, I mean there are many options to get perfect audio, but theres no out-of-the box setup :) Another thing that increases confusion in this matter are people who fight in the sound system wars :) the entire whats best pulse audio or alsa or even OSS4 subject - but most of...

    I can recommend this dac to any body who has limited buget or looks for something universal to get decent sound out of any PC also on the go. It sounds amazing I never though that my pc sound quality can beat good old cd player, and yet it does.

    will i still get audiophile sound quality sound if i use linux?

    I know im diggin this post from the grave but its actually rather hard subject, and a straight awnser is nowhere to be found.    I though i got some exotic hardware but it turned out linux had proper drivers by default in nearly any distro i tried. Any how Linux does great job with USB DAC's...

    $100-150 or less amplification for K701/K702? Cheap tube amp if I have my own tubes? Perhaps even DIY?

    If You'll have problems identifying them post their images.   About amp and sound quality, keep in mind that source is extremly important I tried various sources and from my expiriances asio driven DAC pwns everything :) Also sub 200$ stuff are actually possible to get if You order them...

    $100-150 or less amplification for K701/K702? Cheap tube amp if I have my own tubes? Perhaps even DIY?

    Hi Napilopez,   I was facing the same problem about a half year ago, and I came to the conclusion that You can't drive 701's properly for that sort of cash, I bougth few amps and none of the sub 200$ made good impression on me. In the end my akgs spent some time unused, 2 mounths ago i...

    amp for the Akg k701

    Quote:   I had Heed Canamp and it sounds worse then Trends Audio for example. Trends isn't OTL amp but hybrid with 2x mosfets and single 6DJ8 or 12AU7 tube. (TBH both tube types can't drive 701's very loud but PCC88 [6DJ8 equivalent with +1V] does quite well but quality wise 12AU7 rocks)

    amp for the Akg k701

    Hey mate!   I bought 701's 6 mounths ago and i had a couple of amps so far and i can tell You rigth now that sub-300$ amp is a no-go.   First of all forget the solid state - hybrid or tube amp is a must, and heres the 300$ problem, don't worry thou I had same budget and i did just fine...

    Trends Audio NEW Headphone Tube AMP: UPDATE W/ Photos

    I can confirm what people say about this amp:   Stock chinese tube from stock model sounds like CR*P, insta-roll recommended, it has no scene (k701 sound like closed headphones with this tube its THAT bad) and bass is awful.   I switched the stock tube for RFT ECC82, and i got hypnotized...
