Hey guys, I am wanting to do some amature recording, and I was contemplating getting the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Upon doing some research, I have found that it has a built in dac/amp. That being said, I am currently using the Schiit Magni/Modi. Would this be a downgrade in audio quality if I...

Thanks for your help!

I think I may do the same! Say the 275 fits perfectly? 

Which Mogami Cable are you referring to? Nice cable by the way!

You have a valid point. I hadn't thought of that. What's the most optimal gauge wire for 275 paracord? Or would 95 paracord work better? I get the feeling I'm overcomplicating this, but I don't want my sleeving to be 'loose.'

Wouldn't that be a little too small for my hd600s? Or am I overthinking the gauge of my cable.

Are the individual wires 26awg or is the entire wire bundle 26awg?

I would imagine you would be right; however, I would like to braid my cable. That would mean I would have to strip the Mogami wire. Would the 275 fit very well on the individual Mogami wire strands? I hope what I'm saying makes sense. 

I am looking to make my first cable and had a quick question. Would this http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-feet-22-AWG-Silver-Teflon-Wire-Black-19-Strands-/231481590451?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35e560c2b3 wire work well if I used it for my hd600 cable? (Apologize for not knowing how to embed the...

Is there anyway you, or anyone else, could tell me what color that red paracord is? Like provide a link to it. I like it because it's a darker red. I apologize for the amateur question. 

I think that's what I'm going to use! Thanks

Well, in complete honesty, I've never done this before, and I'm just trying to make sure it's done correctly. 

I don't really want a baggy look. Do you know how 275 paracord would look compared to 95? I have almost everything planned out for my cable, but I'm stuck on the paracord/colors

Was type 95 too small? I'm concerned that 550 might be too big. 

Can someone tell me which would be better for sleeving 26 gauge cables, 275 or 550 paracord? Each cable would be individually sleeved; also, these are for my hd600s. Thanks in advance!

Hey, everyone, hope you're all doing well. I'm looking to make a new cable for my HD600's. Could you suggest a good 1/4" stereo jack and a good stereo microphone cable? What gauge microphone cable would you suggest and how important is the gauge? Thanks in advance!

I'll be 100% honest with you. It could have been my device; I don't know. However, I tried what you're wanting to do and I had nothing but problems. I honestly never really even used the surround.

I actually haven't done that. I've unplugged the mixamp connection before, and it actually fixed it one time. However, the next time I tried doing that it didn't fix it. 

I wonder what it would be.

That's correct! 

Yes, sir. 

Truthfully, I don't remember when it started, but I've dealt with it for quiet a while. As far as all of the "obvious checks" yeah, I've done pretty much all of that. I thought it could be where it was the sound card outputting two signals, because whenever I would use my mixamp, if the mixamp...

Well, I have the Xonar DG connected to my Modi, but I also have it connected to my Astro Mixamp with a 3.5mm cable. (The mixamp has a spot in the back for an extra cable if you want to listen to music or whatever while gaming on console) So sometimes I'll come home and hop on my computer and the...

Honestly, I originally bought the Modi with optical for that purpose alone, but I've found that I dont even use surround sound. & using it in conjunction with a sound card has given me nothing but problems. I just wanted to make sure selling it and picking up the USB one wouldn't mean I was...

Long story short, I'm looking to buy a new DAC, (Possibly a DAC & amp) and I was wondering if there is any noticeable difference between an optical and USB DAC? (Primarily between the Optical/USB Schiit Modi)
