I have had several amp's and DAC's, And I have never, EVER had the experience of being able to tell an amp or DAC apart from another one, when it comes to how they sound. An example: I have had a cheap, 15$ ADX microphone with a "headphone out"-jack and a 680$ Aune S6 Pro DAC/amp. I could...

Hello. I have a set of Ikko OH10, that I need some new eartips for. So far, I have found that foam tips will start to irritate my right ear canal after a short while. Changing the size of the tip does not alleviate the issue. Therefore I am looking for a pair of eartips, that are preferably...

I've got a pair of Fostex T20RP, and many a reviewer have claimed that they require stupid amounts of power to be "driven properly" I have them currently connected to the output on my Blue Yeti, which has a mindboggling 130mW of output power, and I can easily crank the volume to near deafening...

Hello! In order to circumvent the double volume pots on the energizer unit on the ESP/95X system, I thought about putting in a pre amp so that I can just "set and forget" the volume on the energizer, and then adjust the volume on the pre amp. I have a couple of options that doesn't cost a...

I could not find a thread on the Aune S6 Pro, so I thought "I'll just make one" :) First, a bunch of specs: Chip: AK4497 Type DAC with volume headphone amplifier inputs USB 32bit 768kHz / DSD512 COAX: 24bit 768kHz DSD512 OPTICAL AES Outputs XLR 4pin Headset Jack 6.35mm headset...

Hello. I have just purchased a pair of HE4XX second hand, and the right driver has the famous "right-driver rattle". I don't really mind it, but I am nervous that it may damage the driver over time. Do you know if it is harmless but just annoying, or should I stop using the headphones...

So I have had the pleasure of loaning a pair of German Maestro GMP400's for a few months now. I have had a bit of ambivalence regarding their sound. I remember my first impressions being that they were very light in the bass area, and quite bright. I used them on and off a few times...

Hello. So I am currently using the Ultrasone Pro 2900 driven by an Aune X1s. Yesterday, I noticed that the 2900's sounded somewhat veiled when being used below a certain volume - though not to the point that the volume was too low for that to be the issue. I asked the guy I bought them...

Hello. I am the happy owner of a pair of Sennheiser HD700 headphones. I bought them second hand, and I believe that the earpads that were on them were not original - or at least I don't hope so - because they fell apart on the second day of use. The fabric simply unraveled at the edge, leaving...

Hello! I thought I had bought the perfect headphone amplifier, the Emotiva A-100. However, I have problems with static noise in the headphone output when there is not being played any music. The jumpers are not installed, and I am using Sennheiser HD700's. Can anything be done to remove or...

Hello :-) I am looking for the most powerful headphone amplifier available in Europe (Preferably Denmark), costing no more than 380$. Up until now, I have been meaning to buy the Emotiva BasX A-100, which functions as both a stereo- and headphone amplifier. I would like for whatever unit I...

Hello. I am the owner of a Marantz HD-DAC1, which supports up to DSD 5.6Mhz. I am using it to output music from my desktop PC. I have purchased an album from NativeDSD.com in order to test out the DSD-capabilities, and I am using Foobar2000 as the media player. I have installed and set up the...

Hello! Recently, i purchased a used pair of K701 Bass Mod, and I think they sound amazing! The only thing I have thought would make these headphones sound even better, was if it had just a TINY bit more punch in the bass - But everytime I try to EQ my way out of that, I end up going back to...

Hello! I just purchased a used Argon HA2 tube amp. It was described as working, and the seller said that rarely, he would experience a crackling sound in the right channel, which could be remedied by "wiggling" the tube in its socket. Not knowing much about tube amps and considering the...

I have seen quite a few posts regarding using the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 as a sound card for a pc. Most of them seems to favor the 2i2 over other similarly priced, or cheaper amp's/DAC's. Right now, I am listening to music through a pair of Verisonix N501 through a Aune X1 DAC. However, to me...

Hello.    I am planning to purchase a new pair of headphones in the next few days.  I will mainly be using them with Spotify Premium and in the future as a headset, probably with a Antlion Modmic attached.    Originally I planned on buying the Philips Fidelio X2, but then i saw that there...
