the original T50RP, I want to be able to mod it myself so I get it just how I like it 

Yeah, I actually think I may get the fostex T50RP's before I get a dac. Thanks everyone! when I do get a portable dac I still plan on getting the Ud120

Well I've heard it works with some phones, and I added universal usb audio drivers to my phones kernel, so it should work.   Why? The dac on my phone sounds as bad as my PC, if not worse. and I'd use it on my laptop and tablet as well, so it wont be limited to just my phone.

Hey there Head-Fiers! I dont have any really good headphones, just some ATH-M50's, but I plan to get some Sennheiser HD598's or a simmilar pair soon. Anyways, Im looking for a good, portable, DAC/Amp setup for ~$100. I mostly use my phone (Galaxy S3 with custom ROM/kernel with audio mods built...

I'm looking to upgrade so I can get the full potential out of my headphones (ATH-M50 and Grado SR80i). I will be using it on a desktop, so I dont need anything portable. Is the Schiit Modi and a DIY Objective 2 a good combo? I only want to spend around $150-190 so it seems good to me. Any other...

This thread is a little old, but i have a question and feel that this is the best place to ask. What is the best kind of wood for Sr60i's? Im my opinion, best would be somewhat easy to work with, yet good sound with more bass and warmer mids than the plastic i have now, at a realatively cheap...

Okay! Thank you very much for the help!

May I ask why these headphones would not benefit? Is it because they are monitor headphones? Sorry, i understand the basics of sound and digital audio, but not on a per headphone basis.   EDIT: I do plan on getting another pair of headphones, posibbly open-ear like Grado SR80i's, but I am on a...

Hello, I've been wanting to get into high quality audio for a while, and I just got my first pair of audiophile grade cans, Audio Technica ATH-M50's, and I want to get good audio at an affordable price. I've found a few options and just need help making a decision on which to purchase. The first...
