Quote:   Awesome, so a DAC is what I'm looking for.   My budget is 100-200 bucks.   But just judging from that picture, all you do is plug it into your USB port on the laptop and then plug headphones into it from there? Volume control is on the laptop I presume, and you just use...

Quote: Sennheiser HD-280 pro.   I am not using an amp, nor do I really know what it would do for me.   I'm terribly new to this so if there are a bunch of questions I need to answer before we can approach a solution to my problem I'll be glad to answer them all, sorry.

As the topic title suggests, I just want some equipment to bypass my laptop's soundcard. I have headphones that aren't done full justice by my laptop's soundcard or some such component, and I want to know what I need to buy to do that. Do I just need a DAC to hook up to my laptop to use the...

Any opinion on which specific 5xx I should grab? Or any other opinions in general?

Quote: From what I understand, the Teclast T-51 provides quite a bit of power.

A problem I'm having is being unable to find where I can actually buy a pair of the Fischer headphones

I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD-280 pro headphones. I don't feel like I'm getting everything out of my music with them that I can (the source I'm using is a Teclast T-51). I've basically narrowed down my choices to 1 of 3 things.   Fischer Audio FA-003 Denon AH-D2000 Keep the...

I hate to do this, but I'm in the same situation as the OP with three added qualifications (but I'll list them all anyway).   100-300$ price range Teclast T-51 is the source I listen to a wide variety of music I don't need them to be portable I will be using them without an amp, save...

I'm looking for a set of around ear headphones that would be used primarily/solely with a Teclast T-51 as the source. I don't want to look into getting an amp. These headphones will be solely for home-use. The style of music to be played will be varied, covering from Flamenco to Punk to...

I guess I'm looking for more feedback on the Teclast T51, as that is the player I've really been eying due to what I hear is amazing sound quality.

Things I do not care about in the mp3 player 1. Battery life, nothing less than like 6 hours please 2. Anything that doesn't have to do with the music, ****ty UI won't bother me so long as it doesn't interfere with going through my artists/albums.   Things I'd like in my mp3 player 1...
