Hey there, I'm looking for an amplifier to drive my Ultrasone Proline 2500s. They're fairly low impedance (40 Ohm), but at the moment all I have in my current setup is just the cans connected to an nForce uDAC (original). My budget is at most 200$   I was doing some searching and digging and...

Hi, back again in my audio quest.  Recently my stax setup started to go out so I sold them to a lovely head-fier who can hopefully restore them to their former glory. Now I'm back in the market yet again.     Budget: ~300$ (I can go higher if theres any particularly good setup a bit higher...

Ive been using my Stax setup for a while [lamdba pro > srm-1 mk 2 > nforce icon udac > computer] and recently an imbalance of sound on the left and right channels popped up, whether im watching movies or listening to music.     First, I tested with a pair of speakers lying around [cheap...

Trying to decide on a DAC with USB around the 150-200$ price range. I'm currently using STAX SR Lambda Pro + SRM-1 Mk II, mostly electronic/triphop music. I was considering a EMU-0404 or maybe a Tianyun Zero, but was wanting some input on the matter. Thoughts/suggestions?

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade to a good amp+headphone combo but not sure what to go with. I'm fairly decided on the amp and its most likely going to be an Ibasso d2+ boa or d4 mamba, depending on how amp-driven the headphones I've picked are. (im open to any other amp suggestions that are...

Hi, I'm looking for a quality portable dac/amp. I plan on using it to drive Head-Direct re0's on my mp3 player and Sennheiser HD595s at home (I realized HD595s aren't incredibly amp reliant however I would like to have an amp in case I decide to step up). Only real requirements are...

Hi, I've been poking around the forums for a few hours now and can't come to a clear decision so I figured I'd clutter the forum with another recommendation thread. I'm looking for a budget portable setup, best SQ I'm gonna get for 150-200$ for IEMs or IEMs+amp. I was thinking about the...

Was planning on buying this for mainly gaming and listening to music through a pair of 595s, was wondering if the higher x-fis are worth the money? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...esize=10&Page=

I need a sound card to use for gaming and listening to music. Ill be using an HD595. I was thinking about the X-Fi for the EAX support, and was wondering what card would be the best balance of price and quality out of the X-fi line with EAX.

I am considering getting a pair of 650s for gaming and music on my computer, and was wondering about what sound card to get. Could an X-Fi XtremeGamer drive them near their potential, and what if I hotrod it? If not to close to their potential, how good can one drive them?

Hey, Im looking for the best pair of canal phones to listen to on my unamped Creative Zen. My budget for them caps at $150, but i will go somewhat over for a decent jump in quality. As for musical choices I listen to trace/psy/drums n bass and also some rock.

Hey, I paln on buying a nice set of cans for my portable music and home music/gaming needs, and have to make a decision between these 2 headphones. Amazon has the HD580 for 130$, while they have the HD595 for 150$ after shipping. Is this 20$ increase worth the increase in quality between the two?

Ive been talking over with my friend for a while now about what to buy for my conversion to a good set of headphones. I plan on using them for listening to music [192khz and 320khz played through mp3 player], and for gaming on my computer. What we've came up with is a pair of HD580s with...
