    Weird Buzzing noise from USB!

    I don't think this is the case because a laptop while connected with the power cable has none of these issues.  I will, however, try taking my desktop downstairs and see if it makes a difference.

    Weird Buzzing noise from USB!

    I feel like a USB hub wouldn't fix anything because most USB hubs connect via a USB port anyways.  So the sound would likely be carried.

    Weird Buzzing noise from USB!

    I am not sure.  I believe the DAC would be grounded via the USB.  The motherboard should be grounded by the powersupply which is grounded by the 3 pin power plug.     Not really sure on this one.  Any ideas on manually grounding the motherboard or DAC safely?

    Hey, looking for some good all-rounder headphones (under 250)

    You might try adding he-300's to your possible headphones.  They have a very neutral and warm sound profile.  They are also exactly $250 so that might be stretching your budget, especially if you do not have, or want, an amplifier to drive them.   All of the other options that you are looking...

    I am sorry I posted on the wrong thread.   As far as $150 headphones go I would recommend fostex t50-RP.

    Looking for SenH. HD280 Pro replacements with Xonar DG soundcard

    If possible you should look for an audiophile store close to you!  This can be one of the best ways to find the perfect headphones for you.  (Be careful it also a very good way to ruin your budget)    I also know that the Q701's are seriously one of the best headphones in that price range...

    can an amp hurt the headphones?

    Well, in general I wouldn't be too worried about blowing your headphones, but obviously you shouldn't drive music so loud that your worried about damaging headphones.  If you are using them as speakers (putting them on your desk when friends are over so everyone can hear) I would probably stop...

    Weird Buzzing noise from USB!

    Ok, so I made a thread not too long ago about a terrible background noise that my headphones made.  At the end of that thread I decided that my issue was completely resolved.  I came to this conclusion after using my laptop to listen to music on an outlet that had a GFCI.  During this test I...

    Oh dear, my cable is stuck.

    This has been resolved.  Just took a lot of finger strength. Don't be afraid to tug on it I guess.

    Oh dear, my cable is stuck.

    So my lovely rosewood lcd-2s arrived today, but unfortunately I mixed up the left and right cables.  I thought, no problem right?  So I went to switch them, and the left ear cable popped out just fine.  Then I went to the right side, pushed down on the release mechanism the mini xlr cable began...

    Before I purchase lets double check this

    I am about to purchase a glow amp one, but before I do I want to make sure that they are fully compatible with my audeze lcd-2s.   This is kinda nooby but I would hurt myself if I bought a $900 amp and it didn't work.   I will be using the dac that comes free with the amp.  Is this dac a...

    Headphone AMP/DAC combo for Audeze LCD-2s

    Oh yeah I saw that it did come with USB support. Is the integrated dac good enough quality to run lcd-2s to their top performance?

    Headphone AMP/DAC combo for Audeze LCD-2s

    Thank you. I am very new to this so I did not realise that the audeze lcd-2s sounded like this.  Perhaps I am better off going for a tube amp with relatively neutral sound properties and modifying tube amps later?   Thanks for all your suggestions.

    Headphone AMP/DAC combo for Audeze LCD-2s

    I recently took the plunge and bought myself a pair of Audeze lcd-2s.  I am very excited to start getting into audiophile culture.   The only problem is that I need to find a good AMP and a good DAC.   My price range is maximum $800 However if possible I would really like to keep it under...
