I'm after an amp for my D2000's. Source is a Xonar D2. I've had a read around, but didn't really find anything conclusive. I listen to dnb, dubstep and IDM primarily, so want something that can pad out the already heavenly bass of these cans. My budget is pretty low, say, £100 max, but...

I can't find this information anywhere, anyone got any ideas? EDIT: also need to know the input impedance of a Quad 33 preamp.

I'm looking at picking up a turntable. Trying to find suitable "beginner" models, second hand is probably the best way to get something reasonable, cheaply. The lower end Rega tables look nice, but I've not found many around for sale. Can anyone suggest other suitable models? Also, the...

I'm looking for a headphone amp for my D2000's. The source is a Xonar D2. I mostly listen to dubstep/dnb/idm, and would like a sound with very clean and volumous bass. I'm on a student budget, but I won't set a price so I can see a "full range" of recommendations. Any ideas along these lines?

I mostly listen to dnb/dubstep/IDM, so I need something that has some decent bass to them. The ipod headphones that came with my touch just don't cut it. From reading about, it seems IEM's tend to have far "more" bass than any buds, but I am a bit out of my depth with all the different...

Audio Signals and Test Tones. Playable online, free download. Tests your audio equipment, loudspeakers, room acoustics and hearing. Using that test, I get nasty rising tones on the 48kHz test, (I tried changing my samples rates to 48kHz but it didn't help) when I play by hovering over in...

Does anyone else's Xonar make physical clicking sounds coming from the card itself, when booting, switching recording inputs, etc? It doesn't really bother me, the outputs have no such clicking, I'd just be interested to know what is making them. Some kind of relays? :-/

I listen to alot of dubstep and breakcore, some rock/heavy metal, and the occasional bit of classical. At the moment I'm using HD595s, which sound ace for classical and metal, but I feel they lack a litte in the bass department, for electronic stuff. I'm about to go to uni, so budget is...

I am thinking of replacing my trusty old Audigy 2 ZS with a Xonar D2, but my only problem is the lack of front panel connections. I use it all the time for my headphones (HD595) with the audigy, and would find it annoying plugging headphones in the back of the PC all the time. Would it be...
