Could I benefit from a DAC? Using: HE-400 w/ Cayin C5 Amp & Realtek ALC887 DAP
I have a huge pinch for the best headphone audio possible when gaming. I don't do mic stuff at all. But I'm underwhelmed when gaming. Music alone sounds better on my Macbook Pro, which from what I understand is because of its better built in DAC. I've also read about problems with my Desktop...- Rydell

Have you ever had a sense of bass impact in your chest from your headphones?
It's the type of impact from "sonic" bass you might hear from on explosion on screen using a good home theater setup. I've heard someone reference the "sense" before with their headphones(HD 25-1) but I've only ever experienced it on a very good quality speaker setup. I have the JVC SZ2000's...- Rydell

Anyone have a sweet spot for EQ settings with their SZ2000's?
Just got the Fiio A3 in the mail today too. From what I understand to really bring out the best in the SZ2000's you need to EQ it. I mainly use this for gaming and have been trying to break them in. Sounds a little less strong and clear than I had hoped. I have a feeling it's the EQ settings I'm...- Rydell

Getting the most of my SZ2000’s - mid-bass “punch” questions
Placing heavy emphasis on the 50-120Hz octave for mid-bass “punch” or “impact”. This is where we would feel the impact in our chests on an audiophiles home theater setup. Clarity, strength, and controlled. Whether this is somehow increasing speaker and driver response or modifying the pads. I...- Rydell

E11 vs A3 "E11K" Does the newer version actually maintain the E11's tight bass impact qualities
I've read a few mega threads on how the E11 has amazing (for its price) abilities enhancing the impact / quality of bass. Has anyone here had experience using the new A3 E11K, owned the E11 and can comment on how close those specific qualities have carried over?- Rydell

Sound card that amps for a stronger / tighter bass punch / impact on headphones?
So many terms going around these days to describe a clean strong realistic bass. I'm hoping to skip grabbing an external amp for my PC gaming setup and simply go with a card that has it all. I've been doing some research but there isn't too much behind all the typical marketing in the PC gaming...- Rydell

Looking for a Fiio E11 equivalent (namely its impact bass cap.) with DAC for PC
Hey folks, I was about to purchase the Fiio E11 when I found it doesn't actually have a DAC. From what I understand this is definitely wanted if you're getting this for a PC setup considering it will be analog and the amp on it is weak / non existant. I'll probably never move this around, so...- Rydell

Looking for a desktop amp to give my AKG q701's tight strong impact bass
I primarily do PC gaming and that's what I got these headphones for. The impact feeling from explosions and gun shots, much less the bass period, seem very weak. I bought into these headphones knowing I would need an amp to use their full potential, but the amps I'm seeing (o2) recommended for...- Rydell

Soon to be Q701 + O2 owner looking for insight into sound cards for PC Gaming
Alright, I've learned my lesson. I jumped on a set of Razor Tiamat 7.1's for $200 and quickly noticed the audio and bass clarity were not near what I was hoping. So I actually sat down and started doing some research, and I think I've hit a snag in some info that hasn't been quite discussed...- Rydell
