Can someone recommend me a media player software like jetAudio only with better frequency meter so I can see better what's going on... I want to see what sounds are on what frequencies so I can find the right IEMs easier...

When I plug in a jack to my pc I get this:     Does this make a difference to the sound?  And is there anyway I can change it without unplugging and replugging the jack as I've got it connected up so I don't have to go to the computer to switch them.

Been trying to use the search button on this topic. Just so random! At work I have Wi-Fi. So I get to listen to music 8 hours a day. Got bored of my ipod Classic. So purchased a 4 gen 8GB ipod touch to stream Pandora One. Yes I have been a longtime Headfi-er. Know that there are so much better...

I plan on now doing audio out of my computers integrated optic SPDIF out. I have a ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard, so that is the output I will be running to a Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1 DAC w/ OPA627 OpAmp & GE 5670 Tube, and from there to my...

Hey guys, I was looking at the Avid recording studio, but I have read so many bad reviews about them. If anybody has them, can he or she tell me how it performs? Is there any good alternatives for it in the 50 - 150 price range? AFAIK it can record electric guitars, vocals, bass guitars...

The computer is fantastic, but it does an absolute **** job of driving my Shure SE 535's, and the sound quality is notably worse than previous macbook pro's.  It's so bad, that my iPhone 4 can drive those iem's better than the mbp.  Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Very simple question, if you could have everything you wanted in a PC soundcard, what would you have?

So I just bought myself a new Asus E1 and Im loving it so far. Sound is not perfect and I have yet to try it with a record player or just two active speakers, but it fits all my needs. Except for one.. for now...   Im trying to get sound from my computer, through the dac to my surround...

I plan on downloading CD's to my computer, but I realized I have no idea whether the built in CD drive on my Mac is suitable. If I am just ripping CD's does a better CD player make a difference, or does a better drive only help when playing music off CD's? Thanks

Hi, currently use my onboard soundcard and tried WASAPI in foobar. In windows 7 my sound settings are 24 bit & 48000Hz. In Foobar I use PPHS to resample to 48000Hz. In WASAPI I use a Latency of 120ms (also tried higher) + 24bit. Whenever I play a song (.flac or what ever) it tells me...

im looking for some type of plugin for foobar that convincingly replicates the sounds of rain that i can use in conjunction with the music i listen to     something like this but in vst form http://www.rainymood.com/ (i dare you to listen to that while playing...

Hi everyone!  Could you guys point me in the direction of a decent EQ to use with foobar?  My goal is to bring out the proper frequencies for a tad more punch.  The bass boost on my cMoy is just a little much.  I'd like something a little more refined.  Also, what frequencies need tweaked for...

Hi there Can you download flac files directly from the web to an iPad and if so what player app is best, all this with out jail breaking Cheers

ive tested a bunch from total video converter, dbpoweramp, winamp etc and the all sound different. i usually use sony vegas 10 to convert my audio from mp3 and many other lossy formats to Wav, since it sounds the best. i also use it to convert from FLAC or any other lossless format to...

Has anyone tried the SRS Audio Essentials for Mac?    See - http://www.srslabs.com/store/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=61   It looks really interesting so I've downloaded the free trial but this has limited functionality and the headphone mode only works in the purchased version...

I hope that this is the appropriate thread...3 free albums!!   http://slickdeals.net/

I was looking at some albums available for download on Amazon today, and I noticed something I haven't noticed before. An album I was looking at had a link for "Record Company Required Metadata" under the "Product Details." This particular album was on Interscope Records and was apparently being...

I've been told that lowering the Windows or Foobar volume while playing Foobar in WASAPI mode can impact sound quality, possibly by lowering bitrate. Is there any truth to this? Should I be leaving Windows and Foobar at 100% and adjusting volume solely with my Fiio E10's physical volume control...

Introduction I know there a couple wiki's and tutorials around on how to configure foobar2000, but I haven't really seen a resource thread with a list of useful DSP's and plugins. So I thought, why not create one? If this thread has any success I will create a wiki page as well. I have created...

Hi everyone -- can anybody tell me thier experience with high end headphones on a computer--TYIA

I recently got myself some Grado sr225i's and I'm in the market for a DAC for them (Currently running them from an ASUS Xonar DG). I am interested in the TC7510 that I found on eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/370528529957?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1405wt_1396). I've...

Hi all - apologies for what I'm sure is well tread territory - I'm just having a little bit of trouble answering this question.  I want to create a headphone system in my living room where I can just switch on my music easily, have quick access to my entire library, and sit back, stick my...

When I'm on the road I often take a small netbook (laptop) with me, and the onboard audio is horrible. I was thinking of the fiio e10 as a possible option, and I'm wondering if there's anything better for around $100... or less. I read of quite a few issues concerning the e10 which is why I...

Hello Head-Fi,   I apologize that my first post is a question, but I'm merely looking for advice and some answers to some questions I have not been able to find the answers for by just crawling.   I've recently purchased a Xonar Essence ST (PCI) to replace my dead SoundBlaster X-Fi...
