I need some help narrowing down a DAC or DAC/AMP combo for computer audio. The primary purpose is for playing music through over ear headphones while I'm working but I might use it for JBL 308s too. The 3.5 mm audio out jacks on the motherboard and case of my desktop are noisy. There's an...

Anybody else think that title sounds like something from a research paper rather than a forum post? :D I'm trying to figure out a good physical system or material to block high frequencies from getting to a microphone. I haven't found much when searching for a 'physical low pass audio filter'...

I'll be on a couple of flights soon and would like a closed, over-ear, headphone that sounds good, isolates well and is comfortable, but that is also durable enough to go in a backpack with other travel junk.  I think my in-ears would isolate better, but I'm looking for over-ears for longer term...

I'm looking for a closed back, over-ear headphone with a sound signature like the AKG K267 - fairly flat FR, but not boring.  I liked the other features of the K267 too, so if I could find a headphone with similar features, that would be a huge bonus.  I might sacrifice features and possibly...

I posted in the AKG "K267 TIËSTO" - Discussion, Impressions & Review Thread about my headphones breaking a couple months ago.  AKG was really good about setting up the return, but sent a totally different headphone (K712) back as a replacement.  While the K712 is a nice headphone and there are...

I couldn't fit the whole description in the title, but that's the gist.  I have been enjoying my Vsonic GR07 BE IEMs but occasionally they are a hassle or irritate my ears.  It's a pain to pull them out and seal them back up if I'm interrupted a lot.  My ears are sensitive as it is, so adding...

I'm just starting to look at dedicated portable DAC/AMPs and the Fiio E07k and E17 come up quite a bit.  As I understand those, they have a bass boost and that's about it for manipulating the sound.  Are there any good, recommendable preferably portable (or at least small) DAC/AMPs that have a...

I'm new but I have been doing a lot of reading here and in other audio related sites on the wide world of ye ol' interwebs. I appreciate good sound but maybe I'm not quite a true audiophile. I started doing a lot of online reading and researching to find some new in ear headphones. My four or...
