thanks for the replies guys. Uncle Erik, i went to J&R today and they actually had k701s and senn 595s to listen to(no 600's tho) and i liked the k701's but my head hurt after 5 minutes like i thought it would so thats off the list. and the 595's were a bit too boring sounding to me while the...

Well head-fi fellows, I bought the octavart amp/dac because it was just ridiculously cheap and had great reviews. I know i worked backwards and that getting phones first and asking for an amp to match would be more orthodox but what can i say, i'm unorthodox(and scared that the octavarts would...

inspiron 530, i'm pretty sure it doesnt, it says this Audio: Six back-panel connectors for line-in, line-out, microphone, rear surround, side surround, two front-panel connectors for headphones/microphone, integrated 7.1 channel sound . so basically i should just get the Behringer UCA202...

i just ordered the o1 amp with dac. i have a dell coming in next week with just a integrated sound card. should i get a emu0404, stick with the integrated sound card, or buy a bluegears b-enspire?

just ordered mine with dac, how long does it take to ship to ny?

thanks for the reply, would getting the b-inspire allow me to forgo a dac? or do i still need one. and also is it better than the sb x-fi soundcards

wow thats a great suggestion, i totally forgot about that. so i would connect the dac to the squeezebox's digital out and then use the line out of the dac to the receiver and then line out again to an amp and plug the headphones in the amp right? but since both the squeezebox and the ps3/tv are...

Hello All, I will either be getting a sennheiser hd600 or k701 and i just bought a computer with an integrated sound card and i also just purchased an onkyo receiver. I understand for computer audio a dac is essential so i guess i will be getting that as well. I'm going to setup my computer...

are the 03 or 05 better than each other? if so which is better?

After reading through this forum, i think i'm ready. I've decided on getting the hd580/600/650, probably the 650 although i feel a little spoiled going straight to the boss without leveling up. I live in an apartment so I don't want to have my neighbors kill me by blasting music so i've...
