Hello, does anyone know where which signal is on a SOL Republic cable? They use dual 2.5mm stereo jacks. I wonder if I can use them with my Audioquest Nighthawk, which has dual 2.5mm mono jacks. Is the right signal on the tip on a SOL Repbulic cable?

I love the Objective 2 and the way NwAvGuy approached his design. I'm a measurement geek. What amp measures just as well, but is prettier than the O2? I don't like the mushy in- and output jacks nor the volume pot. Just doesn't feel premium. The amp should be compatible to HD650s but also BA...

Hello   I am looking for an IEM with a slightly V-shaped frequency response. I do not want really strong bass or sizzling highs, just a natural weight to bass and sparkle up top. I like slightly emphasized female vocals. I also need good noise isolation. Price: up to 400€ (Germany)  ...

Hello,   I currently have a pair of HD650s and InEar Stagediver 2 IEMs. I am looking for a DAC and amp that can power both of them, looks nice and isn't too expensive.   Requirements:   - Needs to power my HD650 properly (at least as much power as an O2) - Needs to be dead-quiet with BA...

Hello,   I'm looking for a standard 2-pin IEM cable with a resistance of less than 1 Ohm. It should be affordable, less than $50. Aliexpress wares are welcome.

Hi,   I am looking for a set of very cheap closed headphones which can be modded into something better. I am from Europe, so I do not have that many options.   With very cheap I mean below 50€. Maybe the Panasonic HTF 600?

I need a bassy or V-shaped IEM which isolate well. Already tried the SE215, but it's too honky in the mids for me. I really liked the Dunu DN-1000, but they were very uncomfortable.

I used to own the Dunu DN-1000 and loved their sound, but they hurt my ears and were uncomfortable. I really wanted to love them, I tried countless combinations of tips and spacers, but it was no use.   Now I'm looking for an IEM that has a similar sound signature (bass slam!), similar...

Specifically looking for something with a 3,5mm Microphone input.

I'm looking for highly isolating IEMs that have a balanced sound. A little bit of bass accentuation is okay, but I do not need too much. Currently I use Xiaomi Piston V2s with bass tuned down 3dB and mids tuned up 2dB.   Source is a Moto G 2014 smartphone Preferred music: Anime/video game...

Looking for a DAC/amp to replace my Fiio E10 Olympus with. It pops and hisses too much. Basically: - Low output impedance - No pops or hisses due to some stupid digital silence / energy save modes - Shouldn't fail on me (SMSL...) - Domestic shopping (Europe) preferred   I've heard mixed...

Currently have the Soundmagic. Would the Shure be a good upgrade sound-wise?

Looking for a new desktop headphone. Currently I own the ATH-M50s and I am quite happy with them, but they are a bit cold, dry and shouty sounding.   Budget: $250 (200€) Location: Germany Source: Fiio E10 Music: Synth/Power Metal, soundtracks from movies, games and anime Preferred sound...

I got some Focal Spirit One S headphones and the cable has an inline remote/mic. I use them with a Fiio E10 desktop amp. Would switching to an audio-only cable make a difference?

I already owned the Soundmagic E10 before but they broke and I got a refund. The only real issue I had was the slightly dull treble and it sounding kinda "uneven" and "scratchy". Now I saw that Tyll of innerfidelity really likes the Fidelio S1 and I trust Tyll, his impressions virtually always...

I will use the cans with a Fiio E10 on my PC. I listen mainly to Metal, Rock and instrumental soundtracks (video games, movies, Anime). My budget is about the same as I paid for the DT 990s: $200 (or 145€) give or take.   As far as sound goes, I was content with the DT 990s, although the...

I hope such forum "games" are allowed   Anyway, we post our favorite video game songs and let others rate them. I think this should yield great results in such a place. Remixes, covers, etc. are welcome too!   Starting with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTnpREir97I

Hello,   I've ordered an E10 explicitly described as "Olympus" from Accessoryjack and after concerns about genuinity, I wrote them an email. The support sent me a picture of an E10 from their stock that has gold-plated jacks but no Olympus writing on the unit itself nor mention of this word on...

Hello,   I bought a used FiiO E10 from ebay and got a few problems with it. First off, music and game playback is good and sounds great, no problem with that. However, when the audio playback ends or is ended by me, there's a crackling noise in my left ear cup. It doesn't happen with my...

Source: Motorola Razr (XT910), Android smartphone, no amp Use: Mobile, train and bus, so it shouldn't leak too much Type: Can be IEM, on-ear or over-ear, but it must be somewhat portable Durability: Would be nice Music taste: (Power) Metal, (Synth) Rock, game/Anime/movie soundtracks Budget...

Hello,   I recently upgraded to a Superlux HD681 from a generic gamer headset and I'm pretty impressed so far. However, I am still using onboard sound (ALC892 on an AsRock B75-Pro3-M). Would a DG(X) be a noticeable upgrade? I'd say I'm 70% gaming and 30% music. As far as music goes it's mostly...
