My current DAC is a Aune X1 Pro DAC which could play up to 24/96khz through USB, However my build-in PC sound card can play up to 24bit/192khz. The problem is that I have just found out when I am using direct sound on foo2k for my DAC it can play 192khz when it should not be able to. But when I...

Hi guys, I have been listening to music for a long time now but only recently took audio quality seriously but I realize that most of the music I hear sounds like it comes from the back of my head instead of the front like it should.   At first I thought it was normal but I read somewhere that...

I am looking for a good DAC and AMP for my recently received HD 650, these can be desktop or portable but bear in mind I'll be using these components for my desktop.    Thanks!

HI guys I currently own a DX50 and use TipleFi as my IEM but I just got the HD 650 but I use my headphones way more and only use my IEM when I am going mobile.    So I am thinking of a long term goal for my next DAP and I am targeting a Hm 901 which I have heard alot of good things about it...

Hello everyone so ever since I got into this audiophile headphone world I have been trying to learn and study sounds from different headsets and trying to figure out what to say when their sounds are different and using the right terms for it.   So last night I went back to my home town and...

Hi guys so I recently discovered SACD 5.1 audio and I am enjoying the hell out of it and find it hard to go back to my DX 50:(    However the sound I am experincing is 6 channels but I am not using a 5.1 system to hear it however I am still able to tell a huge difference between redbook flac...

So yeah, I found out that these two cans are around the same price right now but I dunno which to get, any ideas?

SO have anyone tried playing DSD files with the new update for DX 50? Is it any good?

Hi guys I am wondering why my headphone plays most old songs like that, I noticed that newer songs do not have this, I am not sure if old songs were recorded that way or my headphone is not playing it correctly. I hope it's because old songs were recorded that way though, really love this pair...

Hey guys I am thinking of upgrading my go vibe cheapest DAC in the world to something better, so I was wondering which of these two DAC is better?   I heard a lot of good things about the Dragon Fly but my local audio shop guy is also telling me that the centrance is really good which I do not...

Hi there, first of all I have bought my own original copy Demon Days by Gorillaz many years ago, however I have recently use dbamppower to rip it to FLAC at level 8. I have also downloaded a FLAC version of the album from piratebay for research purposes. I have noticed that the songs from the...

Hello, so i have been recently listening to different set of IEMs and a HD558 so I can learn to differentiate between good sounding headphones IEM and lower quality ones. I have been listening to Elvis Presley's Stuck On you, May It Be from lord of the rings.   What i noticed is that on my...

I hear most of my music on my PC and I am about to get a proper desktop AMP and DAC but I want to get them seperately for each component so they can specialized in what they're suppose to to.   My budget is quite limited so for AMP I have narrow it down to either Bravo Ocean tube amp or...
