Could someone compare V281 with Master 9? Which one do you think would be a better match for LCD-XC? Is Master 9 more neutral?

How does Taurus MK2 compare to M9? For the life of me I cannot decide which one to buy for my LCD-XC (I have no option to test any of them either).

I was going to buy a Master 9 amp but then I found out about Taurus MKII and now I'm not sure anymore :). Anyone had a chance to hear both? What are the differences between the two? Which one would you recommend and why? I'm using LCD-XC headphones.

I'm going to buy a Master-9 headphone amp for my LCD-XCs. I think I read somewhere that Audio-GD release new product revisions quite frequently and the fact that some products on their site are already marked as 2015 editions seems to confirm this. Does anyone know any info regarding Master-9...

My headphones have low impedance (~40ohm), so they're loud even at lowest amp volumes. As I mentioned, the imbalance is only there when the volume control is barely turned up. It seems to me it might be just fine, e.g., other manufacturers consider it a normal thing...

1. I have a Fiio E09K amp. At low volume, the right channel seems to be louder than the left one. If I turn the volume up the channels balance out. Is this normal? 2. I do not know whether headphone "burn in" is a myth or not, but if it's not, does it happen on high volumes only? If headphones...

I'm just hoping it's just an error and it's all genuine since the overall build/packaging quality seems to be too high for a fake. I'll contact both Fiio and the retailer and see what they have to say.

That sucks.

I've just received my E09K. I'm all happy and ready to try it out when I noticed a sticker on the box which said I should check on fiio website for the product's authenticity. So I did. The website says it is fake. What???   I bought it through "fiio shop" (through amazon.de) which seems to be...

I want to use my sound card's (X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro) DAC and connect it to a headphone amp (Fiio E09K, no DAC, only amp).   The sound card has line out and spdif out ports. Which port of the card should I use? What is the difference?   The amp has pre out, line out and aux in (RCA). Which one...

I'm pretty much set on buying DT770 Pros, but damn I can't pick the "ohmage". I will only use them with a desktop PC, amped (Fiio E09K).   From what I've read, most people are choosing between 80s and 250s. I would probably take the 250s, but it seems that they lack bass compared to 80s and I...

I'm going to buy 32 ohm DT770s. The question is, which version is the better one - the limited (anniversary) edition or the regular one? This review suggests the former is an improvment over the latter: http://www.headfonia.com/the-beyerdynamic-we-love-dt770-anniversary-edition/.   What is...

  Directly to my sound card (X-Fi Fatality Pro).

Hello,   ATH-A900s were my first decent headphones which I still use but they're old and I'm considering replacing them with something better (nothing crazy expensive though). What I'm looking at right now is the HE-400 which seems to be reasonably priced and is getting good reviews. Would you...

I currently own an old pair of ATH-A900 and I'm seriously considering replacing them with HE-400. Do you think that would be a worthwile upgrade? Would I get less bass considering A900s are closed cans?

Thanks, but the dropdown to select speaker configuration in Windows control panel is greyed out for some reason. I have synchronization disabled in Creative control panel. What could be the problem?

Hello,   My goal is to configure my gaming machine to properly use CMSS-3D for headphones (I only use AT ATH-A900 stereo headphones, no other speaker configurations are required). Up until now I've been setting Creative control panel to "Headphones" and let it set Windows speaker...

I have the latest official driver version from Creative for my X-Fi Titanium Fatality Pro sound card. However, I'm still getting the "WDM driver for Creative X-Fi Audio Processor" update offer in Windows Update under Hardware section. Why? Is it normal? Has anyone else noticed that? I myself can...

Hello, I'm wondering if having my headphones plugged into the sound card of my PC all the time is worse than plugging and unplugging them every time I use them? If I had stereo speakers I would obviously turn them off when they weren't in use , but, obviously, the headphones don't have a...
