Headphone amp with digital in?
After screwing up the analog outputs on my audigy 2 zs, I decided to see if there was such a thing as a headphone amplifer that has a digital input? The digital out of the Audigy is working fine. Or does anyone know of a better way to be able to use my HD595s with the digital out of my Audigy?- skiguy411

Looking to upgrade the opamps on my Audigy 2 ZS
I saw somewhere that a couple of people were able to replace the op amps on the Audigy 2 zs and that it made a noticable difference. Has anyone successfully done this? How difficult is it? I'm decent with the soldering iron. What op amps do you recommend?- skiguy411

Has anyone tried the E4s or the UE Super fi 5 Pro on the iriver H120?
I am having an awful time debating between the E4s and the UE Super fi 5 Pro. My source for these will be the iRiver H120. Has anyone compared them using this source? I see all these comparisons for them on the iPod, but what about the H120? I listen to mainly rock/metal. For reference I prefer...- skiguy411

Replacing a HT subwoofer with a car sub.
I have a cheap Awia 10 inch 150 watt Home Theatre sub. Instead of buying a whole new sub, I thought I might just change the speaker. I got the sub apart and pulled out it out. Would it be worth the extra 50 bucks to buy a new cone/driver and put it in the case with the home theatre amp? Mods...- skiguy411

Is it worth it to add a Car amp to the 4 speakers in my car?
I have two 4 inch (60 watt) and two 5.25 inch (80 watt) Rockford Fosgate speakers in my car driven by my Pioneer head unit (50 x 4). My question is that would there be a noticable sound change if I were to add an amp to those speakers? If so, can anyone recommend me some multichannel car amps?- skiguy411

Any reason why I would be disappointed with the iHP-120 over the Zen Xtra?
I have been thinking about selling my Zen Xtra (40 gb) and buying an iHP-120. I only have about 7 gigs of music (thats over a 2 year period). Is there any reason why I would not like the iHP over the Zen Xtra? I really like the remote, FM tuner, size, and recording features of the iHP. Also...- skiguy411

Thinking about the ultrasone HFI-650
Im thinking about buying the ultrasone 650 trackmaster or dvd for use with my Zen Xtra. However, I am concerned about the size of them. I have the HD280 pros, but are a bit too big to carry around, so Im going to use them for my home rig. I also have the V6s, which are almost perfect in size...- skiguy411

Opinions on HD-25?
I have the sony V6 and HD280 pro. I am looking for something portable to go with my Zen Xtra. I use my HD280's mainly for my computer and like the sound of them.

Can hear Hard drive spin up with CMOY amp...Why?
I have a Zen Xtra and when I play it with the CMOY amp that I built, I can hear the hard drive spin up and little blips when I move the wheel. However, when I play the xtra without the amp and after adjusting the volume level, I cant hear the imperfections. Does this mean there is a problem with...- skiguy411
