But that device is not only a preamp for mics, instruments, etc? I'm talking about power headphone amplifier. Is not different?? The DAC is the device which does the preamp section??

I'm looking information about your recomendations, i would like to try them before purchase, but well... Anyway too expensive for me right now, I have the HD595 for about 6 month already, using with a 20€ PC soundcard...but ill have to wait for somrething better. Are you telling me the reason...

Well it must sound great for 200$... Im loocking for something cheaper. There isnt any better alternative? Im in Europe, so if you know any alternative in some webpages like Thomann, etc. There is a 5w Electric guitar tube amp for 80€, so im not paying 200€ for a dedicated headphone amp...

I'm looking for a headphone amp for my Sennheiser HD595. I want it with tubes because make the sound more dynamic, punchy and natural.

You can try something like Trevi AV 450 ****ing cheap (50$) this are active speakers like logitech Z-2.1, people say they are good, i didnt hear. And get both, speakers and headphones. Here i think people are little crazy with headphones, personally i dont like use it 24h. And i really...

Any help? . Those A/V receivers are good sound quality?, And also have any DAC to use digital in?

Headphones are great, but not to use 24/7 of time, also they cant compete vs the "power" of speakers, soundstage.. etc. I saw theese cute speakers, Wharfdale 9.1 (80 € x1) and i was thinking if they are worth for the monkey, and they are good reviewed at internet. The system will be...

When comparing mp3 to wav. i think mp3 have more "jaggies", while .wav o .flac are smooth and sweet to hear. Maybe is not a big difference but is audible and it feels better. The problem, you have something 7 times bigger, and thats a lot for something you hardly hear any difference. When you...

The 16.7 khz piiiiiiiiiii, is very audible. That web says that people > 24 years old cant hear it. Im 20 years old, and dont think 4 years will kill my ears that hard...

Hi guys, i want to know the frecuency limit to my ears. Human hearing is about 20hz to 20 khz. I tought if a source audio file have all frecuency range (20hz to 20khz or more), and with the help of an equalizer, you can know when your ears stop hearing nothing. Any help about this...

When you say estereo, you mean is not compatible with 2.1? or subwoofer is included. I played some files with 3D positional on headphones (in a barbershop), you think is possible take Dolby digital 5.1 data, and transform in a good 3d sound?? x-fi do that? i like to see movies too. Anyone...

Quote: Originally Posted by Tracker Okay, so the HD595 is good for music and Z-2300's are not. If you don't know about games, what about the Creative T7900 set? And how much worse is the HD555? I was thinking to buy HD555 or HD595, both were good rated on webpages i saw like...

I found here http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showth...=173105&page=3, that a lot of people say Emu 0404 have bad sound, worse than audigi or x-fi cheaper soundcards, Where is the point?? Is not a good source and Dac options like you said? Also people say that this card is bright, with low bass...

Thx all for your help rlly apreciate it , i think will go with the E-MU 0404 USB. It is cheaper, arround 175€. The AK4396 DAC inside is even better that those DAC-AMP combo with 24 bits 192khz support, im right?. Also is a profesional sound card, that can hold microphones, midi devices, and...

Thx for your help!!, i tought you were going to send me to hell, or something like, this is not the forum for that idiot!, read more. Well, Emu 4040 USB looks very nice, found for 186 euros http://www.intermusic-pro.com/tienda/e-mu_0404usb/ , little expensive tought but if you say it is...
