Has anyone ever done this all at the same time? 1. USB DAC connected for audio playback. 2. USB portable bus powered hard drive with media files on it. 3. Charging cable powering and charging the android device. 4. Maybe another USB device like another thumb drive, or a keyboard, mouse, etc...

A while back I played my headphone rig for a friend of mine in another city. He listened to it for a long time, mostly at ear bleeding volumes and really, really liked it. He's now gotten to the point where he wants to build his own setup and has asked for my help. My setup is: NAD HP50 Schiit...

My HP150s just broke and I'm going to replace them.  I'm considering all three headphones in the title, but the only ones I've heard are the HP150s.  I find them to be pretty bright, but also very detailed and mostly very pleasing.  I'd love a headphone like the HP150s with the upper treble...

I just posted this in the Headphones forum, but I guess it actually belongs here so...     I've been using a pair of SoundMagic HP150s for several months and they just broke.  I've been very impressed with these headphones.  The overall sound is pleasing, though they are bright.  Not crazy...

I've been using a pair of SoundMagic HP150s for several months and they just broke.  I've been very impressed with these headphones.  The overall sound is pleasing, though they are bright.  Not crazy, tear your head off bright, but rather bright never-the-less.  The bass is incredible, warm...

I've been wondering for a while about what would happen if you put a USB DAC on the same hub with one or more hard drives and then did heavy reads and writes with the drive or drives.  I tried this recently with my Macbook Pro, with USB2 ports and a Sound Blaster external "sound card".  After a...

I've asked about this twice in different ways in the Help forum and while I've gotten a few replies, I haven't gotten anything that's really helpful.  I appreciate those who replied to me, but I just don't think I have the right audience in that forum for my questions.  So here I am.  :)  ...

My system consists of the following:   Macbook Pro running JRiver Media Center connected via built in sound output 3.5 mm to Yamaha mixing board (inexpensive) and from it's headphone output jack to SoundMagic HP150 headphones.   Pretty simple; the Yamaha is mainly there for more gain (if I...

Hey,   I've got an early 2011 15" macbook pro that I use as my music source.  Right now the built in output runs via an RCA to mini cable to my Yamaha MG10/2 mixing board, and my Soundmagic HP150 headphones are plugged in there.  This gives me tons of gain, and a nice rotary volume control, as...

Hey,   I'm shopping for new headphones to replace my HD280pros, which are falling apart, plus I want better sound.   Budget:  $200 Headphone type:  Closed because I like the isolation that the 280s give me and I don't want to lose that. Listening type:  Videos, Movies, Music.  Everything I...
