Yes, that is exactly my opinion as well.    Feeding digital signal to a DAC AMP is way to go.

In my home stereo setup, I had made the same mistake of dual amping which had tremendously decremented the audio quality. I could immediately tell the difference when the receiver was given a digital input later. So yes, experience tells me that there is difference in sound quality.    So when...

Whoa, I dint know that.   Do there exist smartphones with line out, except for the likes of the pioneer and onkyo android dap's.   Also just curious, In what cases would sound quality change?

Nope, that is not what I meant.   Consider this setup. A Android device connected to a fiio A3 amp through the 3.5mm headphone jack. Now the android already has a dac amp inside it. And the android isnt aware of the external amp connected to it. So the sound will be processed in the following...

Hello guys,   I was just wondering what  really happens when you connect an external amp to the hedphone out of either your phone or DAP.   I understand how DAC's work. Considering a digital output fed to the DAC, It doesnt lead to any problems.   But what I am curious to know is that :  ...

Thanks for the tip. I ll go through the article.   I think Ill finalize M50x. Looks like a safe choice.

Being portable and having a detachable cable is indeed a benefit.   Can you tell me how can i evaluate the innerfidelity measurements. Since I see that, among dt770 portapro M50x and m100, beyerdynamic has the frequency responce closest to zero and that m50x and portapro has similar frequency...

I was just looking through a few reviews of M50x and a few seem to suggest the beyerdynamic dt 770 32 ohm over it. What would be your opinion about these? Seems like they even have more comfortable earpads too.

Oh nice to know that.   I have previously owned ath ws 55 and I felt the bass was too overpowering. So I am not really sure if ATH will be a good choice again.   Anyways, what would be your choice for the music in between COP and M50x or any other cans of your choice in this price range for...

oh, Thanks for the tip.   I was assuming that the M50x is meant for bassheads, and since I am not one of them, I outright rejected it.   Also, have you heard about ultrasone pro 550? Any opinion about the sound signature?

The reason why I am not considering ATH M50X is that, I am not certainly sure if the bass will be too overpowering for me. Thus I was considering COP since it has an adjustable bass reflex system.   Just so that you know about my preferences. I like a larger soundstage and the airy feeling of...

Hey tx0531, thanks for your opinion.   Can you explain what do you mean my the colored sound of M100. And how do these 3 cans compare to each other with detailing ??

Which of the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Plus, the AKG K551 and the vmoda M100 is more suitable. I mostly listen to the music like these   Massari - Brand new day Robin shulz - Prayer in C Pitbul ft Marc Anthony - Rain Over Me Pitbul - Give me everything ft Neyo R.I.O - Living in Stereo...

Hello guys,   I am here looking for a few recommendations for my new pair of headphones. I am not a audiophile in anyway but just like to listen to music. Just in order to state my choice of music, the following is the list of a few of my favourite songs.   Massari - Brand new day Robin...

Right now I have a cowon iaudio 10 (and a htc one m7) which i use to drive the portapros. The thing is i do not have a good player. So was thinking about getting a dac + amp... and so the audinst hud mx2.   Portability is not an issue for me. So you may consider that while recommending.

Hi, I was thinking about buying a DAC if i get a good deal. SO i came across a Audinst HUD-MX2 (DAC + AMP) for 185 usd. The current market price here is around 250 usd (16k inr). Right now i have portapro and will be upgrading to Grado's (225 may be) sometime soon (in around 3 months). So is...

  The A male and A Female are the same in usb 2.0 and 3.0 but not the other two. The usb 2.0 type B male socket fits right into the usb 3.0 type B female socket but not via versa. In my case the board had usb 2.0 type B female port and i bought the usb 3.0 type B male connector cable initially...

  I am not woried about anything right now, My entire system is up and performing just well; was just giving it a thought for clarification.   Right now what i believe is that the Android sends bitstream (1's and 0's) through usb in a square wave. The PCB that i bought gets that as input and...

  I do not know what all options do you have in the market. In my case the options were limited with 2 First being about the board i bought. And second being the wireless.   There was a considerable difference in price of both the options. The second (good quality branded product) was...

  I can confirm that in my setup, the data received by the Marantz is PCM. From what you are saying, does it imply that my android is sending processed data (data * gain) to the marantz dac ?   If it is so, if my android (or any other usb audio source) is not a good processor. Like if the...

Also i have a doubt here, when i connect my phone through usb audio out to marantz dac, my phone is actually sending 1's and 0's... right ? So how am i able to control the volume through my phone ? Is there something like amplification in digital audio ?

I finally got all the products delivered and working as intended. Yes, i know its a little late to review this. I will review this in parts.     PCM2704 USB DAC USB To S/PDIF Sound Card Decoder Board 3.5mm Analog Output The build quality of this board is very good. All the components were...

I need some more help   http://www.ebay.in/itm/PCM2704-USB-DAC-USB-To-S-PDIF-Sound-Card-Decoder-Board-3-5mm-Analog-Output-/171700687497?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item27fa289289   I have bought the optical board already, I would like to know what the Red port (beside optical) is for ?

  Ok... Seems like it will work fine. I will purchase it and let you know here how it all works out
