    Looking for direction of AMP choice

    I did tube roll a bit, I got a few sets with the Euphoria. I think part of it is the aeolus are already warm. I have tried TUNG-SOL 6080s, SLYVANIA and PSVANE 6SN7s, Chatham 6ASN7G, and EL38s with an adapter. I think my complaints however are how people describe this amp, I just thought I would...

    Looking for direction of AMP choice

    Gear list: ZMF Aeolus Monoprice THX Dac/AMP Feliks Euphoria. I really enjoy my Aeolus on the THX amp. Growing up listening to McIntosh systems I thought I would really love the way tubes would pair with my aeolus. However after recently getting the feliks euphoria all I have been is...

    Headphones for Surround Sound Gaming (Dolby vs dts?)

    Headphones only have a left and a right not true surround sound. What dirac does is create bleed similar to loudspeakers so that it creates a better surround sound experience. Dolby does the same by virtualizing speakers on board and deciding how much to output to each left and right speaker...

    Question about Digital audio converters

    If you want relaxing and warm you want a tube amp. THX AAA is very clean and neutral

    Headphones for Surround Sound Gaming (Dolby vs dts?)

    Dirac is onboard where as Dolby is extra processing done by the computer. Dirac allows a cleaner sound. I really enjoy it.

    Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread

    the qobuz shortcuts also only work if the app is in the foreground for me. Its super frustrating. And my media keys work fine with spotify even when im in a game. Steel series keyboard

    The Ethernet cables, Switches and Network related sound thread. Share your listening experience only.

    No, they are built to a standard it is a protocol. Going from Cat5e to Cat6 or Cat7 is technically an upgrade and can run a further distance but the cables in your walls are likely of Cat5e or lower and unless you are running a really far distance not worth it.

    Good clean power for the modmic?

    I prefer the ATGM2, similar to modmic but better quality as its audio-technica. You can just use the regular microphone input you dont need to use USB

    Desk mic

    Understandable about the extra wire but honestly unless you have wireless headphones the extra wire isnt really noticable. You can also headshrink it to your headphone cable if you want to go that far and make it seem like 1 wire.

    new headphone or better dac/amp ?

    Any of the THX AAA amps are great. The monolith one is the only dac/amp combo and has dirac. Have you checked if the ebay listing will ship to EU?

    Best headphone for competitive gaming under 300 euro's

    The 6XX would also work just a bit more expensive. The 58X bass is more present but definitely not taking over the sound, they still have a sennheiser sound.

    Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread

    Qobuz windows app has been driving me nuts with how often the song stops playing and I have to manually switch to the next song to get it playing again. I really dont understand how hard it is for them to implement windows media controls so i can hit play pause with my keyboard.

    If you can get a DAC with Dirac sensaround it trumps the other signals completely.

    How should I understand this issue of more sound coming from one side in a new headphone?

    So, some manufacturers dont match the drivers super well all the time especially on lower end headphones. Ive tried a pair of Sennheiser gaming headphones and one side was very distinctly louder than the other. Just make sure your cables are all plugged in completely and if the issue persists...

    Desk mic

    Have you thought about an attachable microphone? I attach my Audio-Technica ATGM2 to whatever headphone im currently running and it works great.

    new headphone or better dac/amp ?

    Soundcards dont really do anything for sound performance, a DAC will receive raw audio output from your motherboard without any processing. The biggest jump in sound you will get is upgrading to a good dac/amp. I would suggest the Monolith Monoprice THX AAA dac/amp combo. You can look up tons of...

    Gaming generally wants a very resolving headphone with a very clear soundstage and directionality. Have you looked at the Sennheiser 58X Jubilee.
