    Foobar2k Playback Problems

    Does anyone have problems with mp3s downloaded off the net when you play them in foobar2k? Sometimes partway into the song it gives an error like "clipping detected" or something it just doesn't play at all. This doesn't happen when I use it in Winamp.

At first, I was set on purchasing a Echo Indigo DJ to use the lineout on a stationary amp for when I'm in my dorm, and to use the headphone out for when I'm not in my dorm. Then I began to...

    Cheap Transports

    Are there any really good cheap transports out there other than the NEC CD-ROM drives? I wanted to find one with at least a digital track display (unlike the NEC), fast forward and rewind, a more accessible interface (easier time with buttons and such), and if possible, even a remote. But most...

    v6 impressions - negative

    For some reason, I really cannot appreciate the Sony V6 headphones. Although my first pair of headphone equipment after joining Head-Fi, I appreciated the improved sound quality in the beginning, but never really appreciated the headphones themselves. I'm glad I didn't stop there, as Eggos...

    $300-400 Amplifier Vote!!

    The more I read about headphone amplifiers between $300-400, the more confused I become. Apparently this is a great entry point for a great amplifier, but all the amplifiers I'm looking at have their following, and each following seems to agree that their amplifier is a good buy.

    v6 vs dt531?

    Through searching, haven't seen a good comparison between these two phones. In fact, i rarely hear about the dt531 when comparing <$100 headphones. I have a pair of Sony V6s, which I don't really like that much, even with the Beyer upgrade. I did, however enjoy the Sennheiser HD280, although...
