Hello,   Let me start off by saying that I am fairly new to the audio world, as I just purchased some Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250 Ohm cans and a Fiio E10 Olympus.   Problem being, I got a Fiio E10 with a bad headphone jack that has static and buzzing noises that have worsened over my few days...

Hi Guys, Just bought a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and it has a realtek HD chip for audio. Is anyone familiar with the quality of the DAC in that chipset? How much of an improvement would a Fiio or Dragonfly bring to the table? I will be running Westone 4 IEM's and V-Moda 80's with this setup. Thanks!

I own a pair of DT770's and have a Fiio E17 coming, and I was wondering if there were any guides out there that discussed the best efficient way to directly push digital signal to the USB DAC without any interference from your sound card, sound driver, or other unnecessary computer peripherals...

After much help from the forums, I've decided to get the DT990's Pro version.  From what I've read, the differences do not justify the increased price of the Premium version.They are priced at $149.00 so that gives me some money to look at upgrading my AMP & DAC.  I currently listen to my Custom...

I own a pair of PSB M4U1's (which are fantastic), but when I was performing my various listening tests at the store before I purchased them, I couldn't help but marvel how the PSB M4U2's integrated amp funcitonality made them come alive when switched on. Hence I've decided I'd like to get an amp...
