Currently using a pair of Sonos speakers (ones) for my home office... I am looking at replacing these with the PMC prodigy1 speakers as these take up a relatively low footprint, really good at nearfield (owing to PMC's origins in the studio market) and produce pretty decent bass. However, I...

Intro: I have been a lurker on these forums for quite some time, and I want to thank everyone for the great time I had here, and I decided to ask you guys for advice regarding upgrading my gear. Topic: I currently own Byerdynamic DT770 pro 80ohm and I use KGus K3 amp/dac. I decided to purchase...

1st, a little back story. I've been in the home theaters forever. Fortunately, I've been able to spend little money on it since I'm close with the owner of Pacific Coast Audio & Video in Newport Beach, CA. But since I moved from my old home into my new one, I'm unable to play my home theater as...

On my first setup and was wondering you all's opinion on whether its better to buy and amp and a dac or ditch the dac and use that money to get an even better amp

I have an old FiiO X5 Gen 1 DAC. I'm upgrading my monitors to the HIFIMAN Sundara. I'm seeing a lot of mid grade portable DAC Amps like the IFI Hip-DAC or the FiiO Q3. But all of these come with the price tag of an integrated DAC. (I've seen the portable amp ranking post, but it's severely...

Hello folks! I'm looking for advice about picking optimal sound source for my headphones. I use Audiotechnica ATH-M50x (35 ohm). My current PC has ALC1200 chip built in, which I well... don't like at all. Previously I used these headphones with Asus Xonar D1, which I found very good, suitable...

I've got a pair of Anandas as an upgrade from my OG HE-400 (which sadly broke its headband, now hanging on with some superglue), and my current amp/DAC combo is a Fiio E17. Is there anything I can get for around $200-$400 that would be a significant upgrade from the E17? Currently, I'm...

I just purchased some HIFIMAN Sundaras (coming in next week) but don't currently have any other hardware to help drive them and produce better sound (previous headphones didn't need an amp). I would feel kinda weird spending more on a stack (ex: asgard 3/modius) than I did on my headphones but...

Hello, I used a Boze QC 35 II for 9 months. My colleagues promised me a great sound and top notch ANC. I agree with the ANC, but was disappointed by the sound. I later discovered those things called "codecs", and that the Bose had not the best codecs available. I then encountered the word...

Hi everyone, this is my first post :) I just bought a TV to watch movies with my girlfriend, with headphones on. I also got Apple TV, but only one set of headphones can be connected to it. So I need to find another way to get sound out of the TV, which has only an optical out port. My...

Ehy guys, I'm pretty new to this world (and this forum), so I'm asking you for advice. I've searched and watched for long trying to find my first audio system: I finally decided for the Sennheiser HD600 (3.5mm) and I need a good DAC and AMP for a total of 150/200€. The best options I found were...

Hi All, I'm a new member to this community, and don't have much knowledge in audio. I just gotten myself the HD58X (150 Ohm), and currently just driving it with my Gigabytes H370N WIFI MB. It can get loud to the extend of becoming a mini speakers from 30/100 onward in windows. I'm also...

Is the sound quality of the bta10 any better than that of a normal phone/laptop? I don't really care that its bluetooth I just want a good amp/dac for under 50$. Also this is probably a noob question but can I use an equalizer while the headphones are connected to the bta10? Thanks in advance :) !

Hey guys. I am interested in buy a Hifiman he400i headphone, but i am not sure of what dac/amp should i pick (~$100usd). I know the k3 is the renovation of the famous e10k but i am not sure if it's enough to work with the hifiman. I prefer the design and built of the k3 over the mx3, but the...

Hello, novice here! I recently got myself a Beyerdynamics dt990 pro (250 ohm) and was wondering whether i was powering them properly. I'm mainly using them at home on the desktop. I'm not using an amp currently, but the sound i get is more than loud enough in music players, and is acceptable...

Hi everyone, I recently bought the Sennheiser HD 598 SR. For a year or so i used a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x primarily for music (they are pretty bass heavy and as they were my first pair of "serious" headphones they were good enough for the job). Anyway, later i started gaming with them...
