So I have a Dell ultrabook that I do work with on Ubuntu, and the headphone jack has a super annoying buzzing. So I need to get a tiny usb DAC for 50 bucks or under (It helps if its 45 or under because of import charges) only headphones I use under travel is the QC15. Drivers for...

Yeah, but I've heard that motherboard companies ( I use the Asus p8z77-I Deluxe) use cheap analog parts which has high distortion and can ruin the experience if I amp those sounds up? I don't know. The SMSL sApII Pro is pretty cheap and much more portable (And I can live with using Optical just...

Thanks a lot! If I buy the Magni first, should I get a R/W to 3,5mm and plug it at the headphone jack on my motherboard? or is there something that I missed?   Edit: Just saw the "Schiit Fulla" Should I rather get that one than the Schiit stack? What will I miss out if I do? Edit 2: SMSL...

The 1/4 plug is just removable on the 1/8 plug that's on the DT990. I also heard that the Magni was pulled off Amazon because Schiit is releasing the Magni 2. But won't I miss the chance of a much more clearer audio experience when I ditch the DAC? I've been thinking about the Audioengine D1...

More of a hobby listener than an audiophile. I ment 192 as in default format. I'm just looking for a nice amp/dac combo for powering 600 ohm with a 1/4 connector with the best audio quality aavailablefor that 150 usd price. I've looked around and using the audiobot9000 site and it says that the...

I know, it seems rather off. But I can go for like $150. I've seen you post around before with amps and you seem to know much more than me (asking all of that for $100) But I'd love to get the most bang for my buck. Checked out the E11K amp but I'm a little bit unsure, do these power up at a...

Lurker here for one month. So I just bought the Beyerdynamic's DT 990 Premium 600 Ω They should give 192hz 24-bit Audio. (No converting hz) Be fairly portable (Going to use it at my desk in my office and at home) As long as it fits in my bag. Audio Quality is highly prioritized. Would be...

Hi fellas. Using QC15 and Sennheiser 350 SE on my computer and I'm wondering if my motherboard is enough of a headphone amp. If not, please recommend any exceptional ones (usb and PCI). I have a mini ITX P8Z77I DELUXE. I have Ultra DTS PC II or something. It makes a clear difference when I...
