McIntosh gear.....help please?
So I've been going back and forth recently with doing a kind of "end game" high level upgrade of my components and I've gravitated towards McIntosh but I have some concerns/questions. And it just kind of seems like (understandably) that the higher up you go in gear, the harder it is to find...- mva5580

Soundblaster X7 vs something like Schiit Jotunheim
So I've been taking a look around recently wondering if there was something I could upgrade to that would provide me better audio quality than the X7. It works totally fine for what it is, but I'm just wondering what else is out there. I have Yamaha HS80M's and Beyerdynamic T1's that I use...- mva5580

Better alternatives to Soundblaster X7?
So I picked up a pair of B&W 685 S2 speakers yesterday and while they still sound really good, I was wondering if there is an alternative out there to the X7 that may give me a little more power/better sound? The only thing I've really seen at this point in my preliminary searching is the NAD D...- mva5580

Computer causing hissing in Yamaha HS80M's
While it's not like a huge overbearing hiss or anything.....you know the deal. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it. So I've got these Yamaha HS80M speakers and I absolutely love them, but I just cannot get rid of this hiss. And I know that it is because of my PC because once I turn the PC...- mva5580

So I have an Alienware 13 laptop and what I'm essentially trying to do is use this at my desk as well as remotely. I have Yamaha HS80M speakers along with the Yamaha sub and when I have these hooked up to the laptop, I get some speaker buzz. It's not overwhelming...but it's there and that's...- mva5580

Buzz/hum coming from Yamaha HS80M's when hooked up to PC
Having an issue I'm hoping I can get resolved. So I've got Yamaha HS80M speakers + Yamaha sub hooked up to my PC via an XLR to 3.5mm adapter (I have a Soundblaster Zx) and I've got this hum/buzz that I'm trying to get eliminated. It's not like unbearably horrible or anything....but it's...- mva5580

How do you go about using your headphone amp with multiple devices?
So I just purchased a Little Dot MKIII, which I've had my eye on for years. I've had Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium 250 ohm headphones for a while now and have wanted to get a decent amp to go with it for a while, and this was my choice. It came in the mail yesterday (bigger than I thought it...- mva5580

Thoughts on purchasing these 2 items?
Hello, so I'm kind of "new" in the field and I just picked up a Technics SL-1600 turntable to go along with my DT 880 Premium 250 ohm headphones. I plan on also using the headphones with my PC and will run rca's from my X-Fi Titanium HD sound card to a headphone amp. My next purchases are the...- mva5580

How to determine ohms of DT 880's?
So I bought some Beyer DT 880's from someone recently, and I guess I actually have 2 questions. 1) How do you determine if it's the "Pro" or "Premium" version as whenever I try to look online at pictures it seems as if they're interchangeable, and 2) How do I determine which ohm...- mva5580

Should I consider one of the following Marantz receivers?
So I'm looking around online and I see the following models of Marantz available: - SR 2000 - 2238 - 4415 Are any of these worthy of a purchase? I currently have a Yamaha RX-V565 receiver, so would looking into one of these be worth my time? It wouldn't be a replacement for me...- mva5580

Think I need some headphone DAC/Amp education
So recently I acquired some Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium headphones, and I'm finding them to be pretty amazing. But if there is more to be had from them, I'm of course interested. I keep reading on here about people who have external DAC and/or Amp's for their headphones, and I guess I'm just...- mva5580

I've read here for a while and yesterday I found what I feel like to be an amazing deal, but I figured I would actually post and get some input. Yesterday I was browsing my local Craigslist and I saw someone had a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 880's for sale, for $100. I thought that was a...- mva5580
