@PurpleAngel thanks for your reply. I have, however, done some additional research and here are some options I came up with: 1. Topping DX3 Pro (mentioned by you) 2. FiiO K5PRO 3. JDS LABS Atom AMP/PREAMP + JDS LABS OL DAC 4. Topping A30 AMP/PREAMP + Topping D30 DAC It seems like all of these...

I am currently wanting to step my audio game and this is why I have decided to get amp/dac for my headphones. I have AKG K553 on their way to me right now but I am also planning on getting some open backs like HD600 soon. My source is and will be my PC. The important thing is, I want to also...

Holy cow, didn’t expect it to cost so much. Can’t find it locally anyway. Guess I will look for something else when the time comes. Thank you once again!

Cheers. In this case I will stick to the standard cable as I do not plan on buying a DAP any time soon. However, are there any third party cables worth buying which could be used instead of the standard one?

Thanks. Do these cables affect sound quality in any way? I will be using my phone as a source and thankfully I have purchased the AP version (only this one is available where I live).

I have been looking for my first IEM recently and I couldn’t decide between N3 and FA E5000. I have finally pulled a trigger on N3 and now I wait on their arrival. However, I couldn’t find any information about the difference between N3AP and N3BP. Could someone help me out here?

I don't have any but I'd get one if needed.

Thanks I will look these up. After doing my own research I limited my choice to ATH-R70X and AKG K712 Pro. Both are way over my budget but they look like some solid picks. What would you say about those? How do they compare to your suggestions?

Thank you for your reply. However, I would like to avoid Massdrop. I live in Europe and I don't want to pay all those taxes, which are almost equal to the headphones price in some cases.

Hey. I currently own Sennheiser Game One headset. I am about to sell these due to uncomfortable fit (wearing glasses) and an annoying mic - I have this constant feeling that I'm going to break it soon. I don't want to get another headset and I'd like to buy proper headphones and an external...

Thanks for your answer . How does the ambient voice mode work? Are you able to actually hear people talking or does it work only for things like announcements at the airport etc?

I own S7 Edge. Anyway, is it safe to have your phone being charged all the time like that?

Good for you. Sadly I have literally no access to anything on desktop (before Citrix I mean). Thank you IT nerds -_-

Well, this is what I will most likely end up doing. Thing is I like to just open a radio in Spotify so it plays whatever all day long and I am not limited to the tracks I already know. Sadly I dont have a wifi at work and mobile data is obviously not enough for such listening. Second con is...

You should teach at school :) Anyway, this is what I was afraid of. That blows... Well, thank you for clearing these things up!

I am using Samsung earbuds but I have also tried with Sennheiser Game Ones and it's the same with both. The sound is indeed stuttering. Badly... I have also tried listening to any kind of music so this is not an issue here. I am using my company's laptop and the problems occur while I'm in the...

Hey. My company works with Citrix. Sadly I have no internet connection apart from the one inside Citrix client. When I used Spotify, YouTube or pretty much anything, the audio quality is terrible. I was wondering if any DAC/AMP/whatnot would help out and improve the quality. I am not sure how...

Has anyone tried FiiO Q1 connected to a smartphone with headphones like HD600s or HD650s? I am very curious if this could be a thing as I am planning to buy this dac/amp for my smartphone in the near future.

Well, I've had some time to think today about the new headphones. I wrote down everything that I'd need from them and it turns out that I need the most to be able hear people in my office while listening to my music. In this case, shouldn't I go with open-back headphones instead? I know they...

Thanks for replying so quickly. I am not an audiophile by any means and I don't really know all the terminology. I either like the sound or I don't :) But I can tell you that - I've had HD598 for a couple of days before I returned them. I have also tried 650s in the store and I didn't like the...

Ok, so the title says it all... Recently I have purchased a new pair of headphones for gaming purposes and I am quite happy with my choice (which was Sennheiser Game One). Now I am looking for something different - headphones, which will be used for listening to music mostly from my...

Ok so I am kinda confused right now. You suggest getting better high-end headphones in place of my 558s and now you recommend SHP9500 along with E10K. By writing: 1) what headphones would your recommend for the price of hd 558s + fiio e10k? I meant what can you suggest for the price of both...

Ok I've got two more questions: 1) what headphones would your recommend for the price of hd 558s + fiio e10k? 2) it I decide to get fiio e10k and stick to my 558s after all - if I connect fiio via USB and yamaha with speakers to onboard audio, is one of them going to override the another or...

Well, my budget isn't high enough to get better headphones than 558s. I forgot to mention that I am using them mostly for gaming and I am not that big of an audiohead. I just know they can do better than when connected to onboard. Hence the question about additional amp for headphones/whole new...

Thank you for your fast replies. HD 558s and speakers are the ones that I don't really want to change. However, I can play with everything else. What do you think about keeping Yamaha for the speakers and buying an additional amp just for the headphones? Or is it better to sell the Yamaha...
