iFi ZEN DAC discussion + impression
Hey, can I come here for help? I just got the V1 of this and I love it for the most part, but there are certain websites/applications that, when I open them, don't give me any sound. This includes random places like Google Meet (on Firefox) and Songsterr (on Firefox, but on Microsoft Edge it...- DownRoad

DAC/Amp Combo for a HD 600?
Hey I wanted to give you all a little update. I ended up getting a Loxjie P20 because I found one for a big deal local, and it came with some Russian Tubes (100$ CDN in total). The sound is AMAZING, and I just have my headphones plugged directly into the amp. It's giving me more detail than I...- DownRoad

DAC/Amp Combo for a HD 600?
The Fulla 2 is 80 CAD without any packaging or wires (but I can buy them), and the Magni is going for 100 CAD. would me just getting the Fulla 2 work for the scenario you're talking about? I don't usually listen to orchestras but I do listen to jazz alot. And I guess for outstanding quality I...- DownRoad

DAC/Amp Combo for a HD 600?
Question, I see that someone in my city is selling a used Schiit Fulla 2. Would this be a good alternative or is it not powerful enough for my headphones? Edit: they're also selling a Magni 2.- DownRoad

DAC/Amp Combo for a HD 600?
Thanks to everyone for your replies! I think I'm going to go with the ifi Zen DAC right now, just because of availability and etc. As for this, I tried it and still heard the buzz. It could just be the files that I'm using, this doesn't happen with my other FLAC files. I'm using the 3.5mm jack...- DownRoad

DAC/Amp Combo for a HD 600?
Hey! So I just got the HD 600s from Sennheiser and I love these so far! I'm using them at my desktop with FiiO Q1 Mark 1s and they're mostly great, but I'm noticing 'buzzing' on certain songs, so I think that I need to get a better driver for these headphones. My budget is 250 CAD, but ideally I...- DownRoad

Do I need an Amp/DAC? And if so which is a good cheap one?
Hey, so I'm wondering if I need a DAC/Amp for my set up. Right now I alternate between my Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilees, Hifiman HE-35X and Focal Listens (and sometimes my ATH-M50xBTs). I primarily listen to music (wired) on my desktop, which uses a Z490I AORUS ULTRA motherboard...- DownRoad

Good Wireless Headphones for 100-250$ CDN?
Hello! I'm looking for a replacement pair of headphones for usage on the subway and outside. I had Sennheiser BT 4.40s but they died on me really quickly and gave me a lot of issues. I'm looking to replace them with another pair. My absolute max price for them is $250, and I would like if they...- DownRoad

Trying to buy my first DAP - Budget under $200CDN
Hi everyone! I just bought TFZ Kings to use for music on the go, and I quickly realised that my Samsung galaxy s8 plus is a terrible output for music (I get a buzzing sound which is apparently a frequency incompatibility issue. The same happen on my Se215s). Even before I realised this was a...- DownRoad

What's so wrong with Shure SE215s?
Mods please delete or move if I'm posting this in the wrong place and sorry in advance. I'm sort of new to the IEM world. For full sized headphones, I have an old pair of Sennheiser HD 558s that still work great, Sennheiser x Massdrop HD 58x Jubliee that are my faves, and Focal Spirit Classics...- DownRoad

URGENT: Is getting the Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilees worth it if I already have HD 558s?
Just a quick question. The drop ends tomorrow and I have the money for them. They're $150 USD, but I'm Canadian so they'd end up being $213 after shipping. I should also mention that I live in a shared basement right now with a roommate (I'm a third year uni student), but I'd mostly be using...- DownRoad

Hi! I made a thread on here a few months ago, but now I'm ready to make a purchase in early June/ End of may. I was wondering if anyone could guide me to a purchase.

^ Right, you have a point. And the Fenders are in stock at some stores around me for about 270$ CDN, which is right in my budget. Thank you!- DownRoad

Thanks for your detailed response. I guess you have a point about IEMs, and I'll welcome any recommendations for them.

I'm not too sure about IEMs, I think that I'd lose them easily, and I'm not sure about their sound quality. I think I'm going to end up using my HD 558s in my room mostly,so yeah I'm looking for portability. But I'm not sure if I should be buying something that has better sound quality than...- DownRoad

Thanks, I'll look at those ones too. Just another question though: none of these headphones need me to get amps or DACS right? Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk- DownRoad

Damn, they look amazing, but do you have any cheaper recommendations? Those are 309$ USD and the CDN dollar is trash right now. (I Don't mind having to save up for them though)- DownRoad

My budget is around $200 CDN or less, but I don't mind going up to $300 if need be. Either way this is going to be something that I'll have to save up for over the next few months, lol.- DownRoad

A little background on me: I'm a first year student. I've had my Sennheiser HD 558s for about 4 years now, and while they're still amazing I don't think I'm using them properly. I don't have a studio AMP, and most of my listening is done on a computer with no DAC, or on my phone. Because of the...- DownRoad
