Hi, I have only $420, no more no less, to spend on audio for my new pc but I'm a bit lost, I've done a lot of research and don't really know how to best spend those $420.    First of all, I would like to use this money to improve my pc audio, for gaming, watching films and listening to...

ive been searching for the answer but i can't seem to find it, so the question is obviously: E7 OR E17, or a better portable dac/amp. Anything under 150$ in my case, round 100 pounds (it will be used with the Audio Technica ATH-M50).

Hi, I own Sennheiser hd 518 which is powered through a Harman Kardon amplifier and i have a little question. Should I bother buying a new better soundcard that will replace my realtek onboard sound? And if so which one would you recommend? Maybe an Usb soundcard and then to the Hk amplifier...

Hey Guys,   First of all i do not know if this is the right place to post this topic. But nonetheless i'll cut to the chase.   Just bought an LG47LM6200 for my TV, MacBook Pro and PS3. I am using a SMSL SA-98 T-Amp + FiiO D3 out to a pair of Wharfedale Diamonds 10.1 I can get...

I currently have this set up, Audigy -> Nakamichi av-3s receiver (I found it in my parents basement, used just to switch sources between computer and vinyl)-> speakers/Grado SR-60i would a d3 e an upgrade side-grade or down-grade in terms of SQ?

So with Christmas coming around the corner i'm looking to get an amp for my newly purchased HD650s, i'm thinking the Schiit Valhalla (but am open to suggestions) but first is the DAC element. Right not i'm using a Creative Sound Blaster Z with way too many connectors to pass sound to my Fiio...

Ill try to be to the point here, I recently upgraded from HD 558's to Hd 650's I love the smooth mellow non-fatiguing treble and everything about this headphone (I think I found my perfect match) SO now I need a Dac/Amp combo to do it justice. Ill be getting a tube amp for sure I am not sure...

Hey guys! I've really gotten into music and I know i'm not getting the best of my ****ty current headphones.   I was just wondering if there are any great headphones out on the market for about $150. So I live in Norway where pretty much anything is expensive so what that might be $150 here...

  I recently bought a pair of DT 880 (600Ohm) headphones and a LittleDot MK III tube amp to go with them, and I was looking for a nice DAC to complete my setup. Any suggestions?   I'm a relatively new audiophile and have almost no experience with DACs. I've been doing research for a few...

Sup head-fi, relative audiophile noob here and first post on the forums. I have 2 questions.   First, I picked up a set of ATH-AD900's and they're awesome cans, really enjoying them. They're running through a Titanium HD as well as my MDR-7506's. I also have a set of M-Audio AV-40's that run...

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this (a moderator could feel free to move it to a different subforum if another might be better) but this seemed like the best spot since it's ultimately more about headphone amps and probably applies most to those who have used the likes of the CMoy...

My grandparents just bought a new Samsung HDTV and it doesn't have any analog audio outputs. I was kinda shocked but i guess this makes sense to a company that wants to sell home-theater implements along with their TVs. Is the a cheap DAC that will let me do optical and decode whatever the TV...

Before i begin, i'd like to say that i'm not in the market for high-end professional audio. But the money that i had was still enough to go to the local hi-fi shop and bring home a pair of Sennheiser HD 515, great sounding and budget-end audiophile headphones. Along with these headphones i use a...

I would like to use my headphones to listen to my tv in my bedroom.    The tv do not have a 3.5mm output. It has rca output and optical output, that's all.   What is the cheapest way to use my headphones?   I have a spare home theater amp but it's way too bulky.

i found these in my father stuff, wondering are they any good, prolly like 20-30y old, i cant connect them to pc, since they have huge jack, 6.3mm i believe? and if i wanted to connect them i would need DAC? FiiO D3 would work? Thx for answers

  Hello,   Here's the problem- I like my Audio Technica ATH M-50s but lately I've been wanting a 'little more' out of the sq and general grunt, as I've found I've been turning up the volume a lot recently just to get some more power behind the sound. I have been looking at amps which may...
