can anyone tell me how they are sound leakage wise? could they be used in an office without bothering the coworkers?

I contacted Dave from hotaudio concerning the problem. He suggested getting a "USB ISOLATOR".   I bought the following one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/231172608454?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649   It solved all my noise problems when using my usb DAC.   in the US they are...

  Yes it is disabled. Well, I disabled the onboard soundcard after I installed the phoebus but before I installed the drivers.

Hi, I just received my Xonar Phoebus. The main reason I chose this soundcard is its remote control for the volume.  (I have two monitor speakers without volume knob: M-Audio BX5 D2)   But I can not get it to work for the speakers. When I am turning the volume wheel on the remote I can see in...

Yes I disabled the onboard dac when using the DGX.   What options do I have to get noise free sound out of my computer? I guess that a lot of people with better kind of audio equipment have this problem.

Hi, I need a new soundcard with no background nois. I bought new monitoring speakers M-Audio BX5 D2 and my current DACs deliver too much noise.   I currently have:   - Asrock Z77 Pro 3 (Realtek ALC892 Audio Codec) onboard sound - Hotaudio DAC Destroyer   The onboard soundcard delivers...

Hi, my headset does not have any controls. I would like to be able to change the volume or mute the microphone with some kind of controller.   I know these little devices usually come with new headphones but I can not find them as a stand alone controller.   Do you have any idea where I can...

Hi, I have the Qpad HQ-85 which seem to be the same headphones as the HI2050.   I would like to buy some leather pads for these headphones. As I am living in Germany I would like to buy them in a German online store like amazon.de if possible.   Can you suggest me some cups or another...

thank you very much for writing these reviews and comparisons.   I am currently looking for closed and easily driven headphones to use with my iphone. i am looking for a warm and bassy sound. they should be forgiving because a lot of my mp3s are of bad quality.   i bought the denon 1100...

no. pro 900 will not work with an iphone. the iphone can not power them. i have both and tested it.

hi bzzt, i have not heared the she9700 so i can not really tell you whether you got broken she9550 or if the she9700 do even have more exaggerated bass.   first of all 30€ headphones never have "good bass". but they play back different frequencies with a different loudness or lets say...

i am looking for a camera that uses the "sensor" of a dslr camera but without the mirror.   like the panasonic lumix lx3 or olympus ep-1.   i will check out the mentioned forums.

hi, i want to buy a digital camera and i am looking for a good forum that deals with digital cameras.   do you know a really good one?   kind regards.

any ideas anyone? ;/

do you mean a pci card with usb outs?

hello headfi, my friend has an mbox 2. when connecting the soundcard to his macbook the sound is crystal clear. when connecting it to his windows PC he gets a strong noise signal even with the volume turned to zero on the mbox 2. the device is powered via usb connection. we think...

no you should not.

Hello HD650 Owners, I finally decided to get a pair of Sennheiser's HD650. Now I find out that there is a NEW and an OLD version. Can someone who actually heared both versions evaluate the differences? Please do not post information you know from hearsay. 300€ is a lot of money and I...

hello head fi, my ultrasone pro 900 headphones came with a demo cd to demonstrate their "S-LOGIC" sound. the following tracks are recorded by ultrasone and contain sound samples of water, fireworks (no music) etc. the effects are very fascinating even with common headphones. of...
