Hey all, From my research all I could find were comparisons between the D1 and Schiit stack for headphones. No one really gave input as to which DAC would be better for Audioengine A5+. It seems people love the D1 with the A2s and A5s but I haven't come across anyone using a Modi with these...

Hello everyone,   I looked around the forums to see if anyone else replaced their Pro 900 cable and the three threads I found lead to pricey aftermarket cables...   The plug on my straight cable broke the other day after I hit it while it was plugged into the armrest in an airplane and...

Hey guys,   I know there are a couple threads like this but I just wanted to explain my situation.   Right now I have the HFI-580's running on a HT Omega 7.1 Sound Card...nothing special.  I've had the 580's for a couple years now.   I've been eyeing the Pro 900's for quite some time...

Hey,   I'm going to be going on vacation to Japan this summer so I've been looking for a good portable music player with good sound quality.  I currently just use my iPhone 4S (with Ultrasone HFI-580's) and I hate the sound quality it has when connected to my phone.  I'm not an extreme...

Hey guys I currently have the HT Omega Striker 7.1 sound card with my Ultrasone HFI-580's...I was wondering if there was a good DAC out there for the 580's or if I should just stick with the sound card.   Something under $200 would be great, and I plan on using the DAC with my PC.

Hey I was wondering if the Pro900 would sound any good without an amp.  I plan to use these with my computer, which right now only has a HT Omega Striker 7.1 sound card.  1.Will this be enough to power the 900's?  2.What if I buy a DAC? 3.How will it sound unamped?

I've been looking for a DAC under $200 including tax and shipping and two people recommended the Audinst HUD-MX1 and the Tian Yun Zero.  My cousin had the Tian Yun Zero and spoke highly of it but I don't know which one to choose... OR if someone has a better dac in mind lemme know :)    ...

hey guys i was wondering if someone could PLEASE help me pick a DAC for under $200 including shipping & tax.   I've been looking at the Tianyum Zero but I've been reading good and bad reviews, if someone could help me clarify whether it's any good or not.   Im going to be using this DAC...

hey so I was looking to buy a DAC (for under $200 including shipping & tax)   and my cousin had the Zero DAC and I read good and bad reviews about it, so I was wondering if someone could tell me whether to get it or not?  Also where to buy it would be nice, I found them being sold on a site...

hey guys I was wondering if someone could tell me where I should buy the Zero DAC at?   http://www.head-fi.org/t/269458/review-zero-24-bit-192khz-dac-headphone-amp-pre-amp       I don't really know where, I found 2: one on eBay and another on some website I've never heard of  ...

Okay I hope this is the right section of the forum.  I've been using iPods for years and I had no idea that there were even good portable music players out there, and I also didn't know how bad iPods sound really is.  It usually didn't bother me, but anyways, I've been looking at the Cowon D3...

Okay so I know that music should sound as its intended to be without the addition of a equalizer preset, but to me, it sounds better with equalizer presets.   So I just switched to Foobar with Wasapi, and I really like Foobar better, but the only thing I don't like is a feature iTunes...

Okay so I don't know all the technical details about headphones, but I noticed there's no posts of unboxing any HFI-580's! So I decided to make one.  Forgive me if it seems amateur-ish :)   So I ordered mine off of Digital Pavilion Electronics off of Amazon for $150.46, and ran into a bit of...

So I was about to order the Ultrasone HFI-580's off of b&h http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/547239-REG/Ultrasone_HFI_580_HFI_580_Closed_Back_Stereo_Headphones.html   Which I know is 100% real Ultrasones..   but then I came across this  ...

I was hoping someone could recommend me a site that sells a REAL version of the Ultrasone HFI-780 with the 1 METER cable?   I've seen many resellers selling the 780 with a 3 meter long cable.   The 1 meter long cable is offered on the Ultrasone.com website.       1. Does anyone...

  Okay, so I just edited my post, and originally I was debating whether I should get the M50's or the DJ1/DJ1 Pro's, but tyoung8 said they both have coiled cables which I really dont like because these are meant for portable use (yes I know they're kinda big but I can deal with it) and coiled...

I know I don't know everything about headphones and amps, but I gotta admit, for its size and price, the Fiio e5 is a GREAT amp   I've owned the Audio Technica ATH-ES7 headphones for a couple months and I was a bit disappointed with its lack of bass.  The lack of bass is a good thing...

  Hey guys, So in a week or so I was going to buy the Audio Technica ATH-M50 (Straight Cable) The only problem is that the cable is over 10 feet long (I know there is a coiled version but it's ugly to be honest) so I heard that I could solder the cable.   Now I've never done this...

PLEASE DELETE

Okay, so I know theres other threads with this question, but some weren't for portable use and some go off topic..   So I was planning to buy the M50....got my money all ready, been researching all these other headphones...   But now the question comes up :: COILED or STRAIGHT?!   I...

Before I buy them, just want to  make sure :)   http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50-Studio-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B000UVGI6O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1300646976&sr=8-2  

So I was hoping someone could recommend a good headphone amp BUT:   My budget is probably under under 50 bucks (MUST) And also not too big, I plan to just use it with my iPod Touch (Doesn't have to be small, but prefer it to be)   Also, will an amp that cheap even make a...

Hey guys so I'm pretty new to headphones and don't know a whole lot it'd be a lot of help if someone could please help me choose between the::::   Audio Technica ATH-M50   Audio Technica ATH-Pro700 SV or the Audio Technica ATH-Pro700MK2       They are going to  be used...

Hey guys, so I've been looking for a pair of portable headphones right now, and I was really hoping someone could tell me the difference between the ATH-M50 and ATH-PRO700 SV/MK2   I can't seem to find a thread comparing these three...   Please help someone? :D   I listen to : metal...
