    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    This may help some of you- I wrote this because this "question" comes up quite a bit - This particular post was about Halo Reach. Obviously Headphones are especially important in the comp community, so I will paste it here...    Halo: Reach has some killer audio, though in some cases that...

    Project FrankenSixFifties(tm) (w/pics)

I had recently ordered new pads for my 650s, as well has a 580/600 headband cushion - and while I was at it- some 580 elements (for a side project).....at some point the order got screwy, and I had to call today. I’m now glad my...

    SENNHEISER HD515 or RAZER ORCA??? HELP!!!

      Quote:   No.   The only thing that "gaming" headphones can offer, in regards to console gaming, is usually they are coupled with breakout box/dolby processor and ability to integrate voice from a proprietary connection (dependent upon console)   I haven’t used the Orca-  ...

    Help! Dolby Headphone DTS Portable!

    DTS does sound great, but it’s definitely not as prevalent as Dolby when it comes to encoding. In the headphone realm, DTS isn’t making as much as an effort as Dolby.   With newer devices, like the ones you mentioned -Astro Mixamp, the Tb DSS- Dolby has played a key role in development of...

    Looking For A Dolby Headphone AMP

    A problem you will run into with just an Amp/Reciever is the line out, will not be Dolby Headphone Processed. Beleive it or not, the Dolby Headphone virtuilazation is really good. The Line out, ultimatley it is just stereo. What I have done, and a few others is make, or buy a headphone to line...

    Amp/Dac on the Cheap...

    I hear alot of good things about the Ibasso line. One of my deciding factors is based also on the Dac having Coax, or possible optical in. I defintiley know alot of headfier's recommend just an amp, or just a dac.... I just want to experiment first and see if my receiver is giving me anything...

    Infamous:A/V Receiver vs.Amp/Dac

    Thanks for the replies. After searching a bit, reading some faqs (mostly about tubes) and looking into Amps, Dac, Combos, etc. I think I am going to start with an Amp, and let my HK Reciever handle the DAC portion for now. My AVR154 uses a Cirrus 49510 for digital processing and as far as I...

    Hd580 vs HD600

    Well....I made my own screens for the 580, and definitley thingk they opened them up a bit.....but I am no where near the likes of the talented ears here. So....Maybe I just stick with the 580s and ignote the 650s too. Maybe its time to expand the horizon. Grado?
