    I've been out of the loop for some time. So what are the hottest/best IEMs at around $30 or under right now?

    The discovery thread!

    Hey been out of the game for a while. What's the best IEM for EDM right now (up to $200). I need something that I can work out in too. I was thinking the Audio Technica Sport2 but I have more money to spend if I can get something even better.

    The only thing they sell for the F30 right now is the subwoofer :(

    BMW F30 Standard Sound system.

    So I have 2013 BMW 328i (F30) with Hi-Fi, no HK sound (standard in the US) and I want to know what EQ settings to use to get the most out of the standard speakers. I kind of regret not getting the HK system but hearing the standard system, it's not that bad it just needs to be tuned. Have any of...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    So let me get this straight, with regards to the HE-400, DAC FOR DAC,  E17 sucks, Modi, is good, and Xonar STX is best for under $200.

    Quote:   Oh believe me I'm an avid dolby headphone user, but even with my current card I could have it stream DH through wave to an external DAC like the E17/E07k. And why does power suppy matter if I'm using a magni?

    Quote: I have a Xonar DG and for some reason I just don't feel like an STX would make a huge difference... I'm using the same amp anyway. I'm trying to stay away from internal cards, an E07k/E17 wouldn't have an as good or better dac?

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    A Lyr costs more than the cans themselves, not sure if I can justify that. Actually, screw justification, I couldn't afford a Lyr even if I wanted one. What I can afford is maybe an E07k or E17. Since I already have amping covered for desktop operation with my magni, would either of them paired...

    Seriously guys, what's going on?   I'm starting to feel like my Magni isn't enough to make my HE-400s shine, but that isn't what everyone is saying on this website... Maybe it's the settings I'm using on my Xonar DG or the card itself. So what are the best amps for the HE-400?

    Quote: To me, it sounds like #26 AWG would be the thickest you go, maybe #28 AWG is better. And are you looking for fancy shmancy 7N UP-OCC cryo-treated copper/SPC or normal OFC/SPOFC?
