    Answer some questions for me please?

    Hey guys, so I recently got some bookshelf speakers (as well as an amp for the speakers) and a sub woofer for my computer. I got everything hooked up and working good but I have a question. If I wanted to hook up say my iPhone or nexus 7 or some audio device other than my computer to it, what...

    900 watt active affinity subwoofer

    So I just got this subwoofer (afinity an-905) and had a few questions. Is it any good? And can I plug it straight to my audio card or will I need something in between?

    Decent pair of speakers?

    Im looking to buy some speakers to use primarily for music and secondarily for video games (I already use sennheiser hd558 for gaming). my budget is around $50 and I'm not looking for some high-end **** to drop big bucks on, just enough to enjoy some tunes without wearing headphones. I will be...

    Difference between Audio drivers?

    Ok, understood, I would need a bigger driver to make a subwoofer. But lets say I'm the kind of guy who likes to tinker and goes ahead and tries to convert it into a sub woofer just for kicks. How would I do it?   On a side note,does the diameter of the driver dictate what frequencies that...

    Difference between Audio drivers?

    So I recently scrapped an old speaker system from phillips and got 1 of the two drivers (The thing that actually produces the sound; I think im using the right word) out without damage. this sole driver has a diameter of between 3-5 inches (I don't have it with me at the moment to measure). So I...

    Superlux HD 681 or HD 668b

    Yeah, I bought the 668b's. Jumping from the $60 walmart turtle beaches to something of this quality was a big step (not to mention I cant stand closed headphones anymore, though I wonder what true open headphones sound like). Yeah the ear pads are a bit disgusting after wearing them for a while...

    Help Setting up Virtual Surround

    To be frank, I am pretty new to this whole audio thing. I recently bought a XONAR DGX and Superlux 668B headphones. Basically I want to know how to set my headset up for Virtual surround sound while I am playing games (BF3, FarCry 3, etc). There are a whole bunch of options and I am quite lost.

    Superlux HD 681 or HD 668b

    Hello,      In a former post I asked for advice in choosing a DAC, Amp, and headset. Now b/c of certain events, I am forced to severely limit my budget. The audio card I have chosen (just because I dont feel like spending 100+ in a sound card) is the ASUS Xonar DSX. To compliment that I was...

    Recommended audio upgrade for gaming computer?

    Ok so since they are essentially the same price, which one you consider better for gaming? the senn HD518 or the Audio techina 700X? and also, I might be needing some of this cash im going to spend for college, so would downgrading to a $50 to $70 headphones from senn or audio (maybe older...

    ok cool. So any other recommendations for an Amp then, other than the Fiio E9? Preferably something reasonably priced (say no more than $60). and what should I be looking at when considering a Headphone Amp?

    Recommended audio upgrade for gaming computer?

    Ok so if I got the ASUS Xonar DSX, would that take care of the DAC and I will just have to buy an Amp? or is it the other way around? or what? Cause to be honest guys the headphones are the biggest part of this buy, but i just want to make sure I have something adequate to use the full potential...

    Recommended audio upgrade for gaming computer?

    ok, lets open up some more cans of worms... why do you think an open headset gives a broader spectrum? and what would you suggest for open headphones? and I do want surround sound for my headset (simulated or physical) so how should I approach this now? Should I get a DAC capable of surrond...

    Recommended audio upgrade for gaming computer?

    hmm. Ok thanks allot guys. so would you say the Fiio E10 is better or worse than the E7/E9 combo? and regarding headphones, yes that is my main concern, all i want the DAC/Amp to do is compliment the headset so i can get the most out of them. I really dont listen to music on my computer (unless...

    Recommended audio upgrade for gaming computer?

    Ok, so there is no point in getting anything less than the Essance because I would just be paying for something incomplete and not as good, i understand that, its the same concept as video cards. And I personally (at this time) will not be trying to Xfire as I did this before and it only helps...

    Recommended audio upgrade for gaming computer?

    Thank you for your responses, but if I may, I want to know recommendations and then an explanation why. I don't like to buy things I'm completely ignorant of, so some information would be very nice for me to determine my final buy.
