Oh that's my preferential recommendation. I have lost any interest in surround sound in headphones, personally. I'm a convert to USB based audio over anything else.   SPDIF out is fine, but I'm not familiar with it at all.

Do you get to keep the woo audio? Replace the tube. Buy a good USB dac like ODAC, Modi Multibit, HifimeDIY Sabre, etc. DAC -> woo -> headphones.   Never look back.

Yes I'm aware. I am asking if there are any devices, usb based, tuned for gaming that would have line out. I already have an amplifier. I only need straight from the DAC. Currently I'll eithet get hifimediy or Schiit Fulla 2. Or Odac revb.

What usb gaming audio device has unamped line out? I'm either getting an odac or OL dac. Hifiman he400s' and ifi ican se to amp them. Curtent device is a Dragonfly Black.

Love the cherry aesthetic. Tried a lot of cans these past few months. Learning ao much. These eikons might have to be my next upgrade. Cherry matches the desk i use.

That's a good pick. In listening tests, how does the odac match up against r2r stuff?

Hey guys,   I have the iFi Micro iCAN SE and love it. Now I'm looking for a USB [laptop, but stationary laptop, it never moves] connected DAC that I can connect that amp and HiFiMan HE-400S's to. Replacing a Dragonfly Black. It'snice but...I feel like I can get a better sound out of the DAC...

iFi Support contacted me within hours of my post. They replaced the power supply and it now works just as well as it did before.   I'm very impressed with the quickness of the response and how fast they delivered the replacement PSU. Good on them for acknowledging the iPower problems and...

Actually no! The micro iCAN SE Wait it still might be the wall psu unit. Troubleshooting with the store.

Mine died after having it for less than 2 weeks. I'm pretty pissed. Going to be without an amp now for god knows how long while I send it back to the store across the country, having thought it was worth it to be able to order something of real quality.   ****.

And now it's dead. I'd just left it alone for 2 days while I'd been busy working.   It sat on my desk untouchedand now it doesn't power on?   I unplugged it after use one night,left it alone for two days....and now it's dead.     What a piece of ****.

Hey,   So, plugged into my laptop via 3.5mm to the amp the ifi micro works just fine.   But when I tried plugging the 3.5mm into my Dragonfly Black, which is connected to the Jitterbug and my laptop....it didn't do anything but make a crazy bad sounding noise.... BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP kind of...

Follow up question:   What is everyone's thoughts of the Dragonfly Red? I'm getting $100 off from my trade-in of my Dragonfly Black, with a 5% loyalty discount.  But I'm wondering if there's a better pairing? The iFi Micro iDSD is a bit beyond how much I want to spend. [I usually try to limit...

Thank you for the info! I learned from your posts.   I picked up the Jitterbug and that made a HUGE difference in sound quality/sound stage.   I just ordered the iFi Micro iCAN SE to properly power these bad boys. I considered the ODAC and Schiit stack, but where I've already got the...

Hey there!   Setup: MSI gaming laptop Audioquest Dragonfly Black [soon with jitterbug] HE-400S [soon with velour pads]   I've got the program source applications set to 100% volume, per the instructions for the Black. I feel as if the headphones are too loud? Is the Dragonfly Black a bad...

How the hell would I even order one of these? I emailed his paypal contact and nothing?   I don't understand how I could get one of these for my HE-400S :(

Holy ****. I went with the HE400S and Dragonfly Black. I know the Black isn't the best Dac/amp, and i'll upgrade somewhere in the future but....     Holy. ****. Coming from the older G4me Zeros by Sennheiser and onboard audio. [My DT880s and Teac are in Toronto] for the past few months this...

I've got a Dragonfly Black now.   What, from these picks, do you guys recommend? [I do gaming the most, but I love me some metal/rock, huge fan of house music, and watch a lot of movies]   HE400S, AudioQuest NightHawk, Oppo PM-3[think I want these], HD598, Grado SR325SE or Grado Ps500E?  ...

Hi everyone,   I'm upgrading my audio gear. Things are falling apart. Literally. Please help me get the best out of my money! Read Mad Lust Envy's guide, holiday buying guide, and nameless pc audio guide.   What I've had and loved: Teac HA-p50 + DT880 250ohm. Own currently: Sennheiser G4me...

I ended up going with this setup:   Teac HA-P50 + Beyer DT880 250Ohm + at2020 usb.   Absolutely loving it. Holy **** this blows everything else away.  But at $300 for that DAC/AMP combo, is it the best choice for connecting to a computer? I really enjoy the low presence the Teac has...

Thanks man! I will check out those reddit sections. :) A mod can close or delete this thread now. [I've read Mad Lust's and the other PC gaming audio thread...saw the DT990 mentioned. I'll have to do some careful deliberation and check youtube vids.]   I'll ask around on headphones and...

Cancelled my order.   I decided I'll simplify everything as I've already got the Beyerdynamic MMX300 and I'm satisfied with it.   I'll rock the Creative Soundblaster Z+MMX300, as I cannot seem to find the Sound BlasterX G5 anywhere. I don't know if the E5 would be good enough for what I...

No help?   I'm thinking a set of DT990's + Rode NT1 usb + Schiit amp/dac combo?   Seems like itd be the least expensive route while seeing great quality audio. I don't think I really need the positional audio but I'm not 100% sure.

Hey,   I apologize for being a noob, but the threads I'm reading are giving me conflicting opinions/information.   Current setup: Creative X-Fi HD USB + Sennheiser G4me Zero's closed headphones New setup: Beyerdynamic MMX300's + PCI-E Asus Strix Raid DLX [currently about to get shipped...

Ended up ordering the MMX300's and plan to use my X-Fi HD usb with them.
