    Lowish-budget open-backs for mixing and general purposes

    Nice! Just one last question, in that case: what would you say are the biggest differences between the 558 and the K701/702 sound-wise, apart from what you said about the highs? Wow, I see. I guess they're a lot more different than may seem. Thanks for that!

    Lowish-budget open-backs for mixing and general purposes

    Could you elaborate, just a wee bit, on why you'd recommend them here? (I've not heard them mentioned very often in discussions about cans in this price range, yet I see they have pretty good reviews) Not that I think you're 'hearing things', but aren't the K701 and the K702, on paper at...

    Lowish-budget open-backs for mixing and general purposes

    I have a tiny recording studio at home and am currently using MDR-V6s for almost everything to do with it. I would however really like a good pair of open-backs - for both higher-quality mixing, and also simply listening to music (the two are just about equally important for me). I wouldn't like...

    Headphone hiss: cause and elimination

    I was indeed looking at that one as a quite-possible option, but it seems my country stocks exactly zero of them, and I really don't want to go through the hassle of ordering from say Amazon via an American freight forwarder... But thanks anyway!

    Headphone hiss: cause and elimination

    I'm guessing there's no test I can do to see whether my motherboard can deliver 500 mA consistently(?) Assuming it can though - I don't have to do anything specific to tell it it to draw that max parameter, right? The drivers I'll download for the DAC-HPamp should be responsible for that... Or not?

    Headphone hiss: cause and elimination

    Yes, a DAC/amp combo was really what I meant. But you're saying I should only get one that has a volume control? Are there any inexpensive ones among those? Cos the ones I was looking at had no volume knob but even at that were in the region of $100 And yes, I do usually use a very low Windows...

    Headphone hiss: cause and elimination

    My laptop is an HP 635 A1E29EA. As far as I could fathom, there is onboard audio only, no dedicated sound card. I recently bought the Sony MDR-V6, and am very happy with them - however, when they're plugged in there is a slight background hissing noise both when there is no audio playing and...
