Hi all, What would you upgrade on this rig? Laptop/Foobar2000(ASIO)-> M-Audio Transit->HeadFive-> 325is. I was thinking of gettin a pair of Senns to complement the Grados, but I suspect my source wouldn't do them justice Should I get DAC, a better Amp, spend money on cables, or just...

Hi, I have a Cowon A2. The screen has picked up some dust particles. I cant remove them. I've been using damp tissue, but the particles wont budge. Anyone got any suggestions on how to give the screen a good cleaning? Thanks, Brian

Is it possible to block sounds from a particular program in xp? One of the poker site on play on has no option to turn of sounds so i hear them while listen to music thru the laptop. Most annoying, any help?

HI all, I've have my home rig just the way I want it (for now). But it has really highlighted how much my portable rig sucks (Zen Micro -> PX100s). Here's what I want for my 500 bucks... New DAP, Amp and IEMs. I month ago I would have looked for IEMs that doesn't need an amp, but I no w...

When I got my Transit I just installed it and then added it to Foobar as an ASIO Virtual Device. What should I set the "Operation Mode" and Latency to? Is "bit perfect" hard to set up? Anything else I can do to improve the (already superb) sound? Any advice is appreciated. Brian

I need your help guys. I've decided (for now at least) to get a Head5 cos I hear it goes well with the 325is. I want to bypass the headphone jack on my laptop. Can some suggest a good device to connect from a USB port to the H5? Should I consider get upgraded cables to link it all together...

Hi, When I got my first decent cans (grado rs60s obv. ) I was blown away, I couldn't believe how good they sounded. Before that I had only had crappy buds. Im upgrading to 325is, should arrive soon. Will I ever get that wow factor again, or is it just small increments in quality from here...

Are amps just about volume or do they improve the sound even at low volumes? Does the amp only "kick in" when you turn up the volume? Why don't manufactures of home systems just put more power into the headphone jack? Basically, what's the deal with amps? I only have a pair of sr60s so i...

Hi, Another noob looking for first upgrade help. Fairly typical story, My SR60s are the first decent cans i've owned, I love them very much. They do cause me some fatiuge at night and I have to turn them down pretty low to listen for more than 90 mins or so. But still, l LOVE what they do to my...
