So, I haven't had a Dap since my MD player and psp go, both of which I loved. My psp kicked the bucket a few years ago so I've been using my pixel 2. Hasn't been the same, need a new Dap. I don't really have a budget. What I'm looking for is value. Performance/ features to price value. I...

Hey! I would like some recommendations on what headphone amp I should buy. Headphones it will power: HiFiMAN HE4XX Beyerdynamic DT770 Verum 1 Future purchases might include Sennheiser HD600/HD650 or more planars like Sundara. Features it needs: Low output impedance, less than 2ohm, preferably...

I'm stuck in a privately run dorm room...and the desk is adjacent to a full-sized fridge. I can't just throw the fridge away, as it is the proprietor's property, so I have to deal with an annoying pink noise all the bloody time. I usually don't listen to my music very loud, but i have to turn...

Is the sound going to be so much better if I spend more? I was happy with my NI Audio Kontrol 1, to be honest the sound on this was so crystal clear, im not sure what it is made off. Unfortunately the cheap built made the headphone start making crackle noises. Now im wondering if something...

Hi guys! first time posting, first time needing some advice that is far above my audio-paygrade So I've had my Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB for about 3 years now running out through a 14-year-old bose sounddock, which has been great for my dorm and such. But when I moved to my new place I...

Hi all! I have a pair of HE400I I quite like, but they are lacking something in realism, and to sound really pleasing, I have to EQ them to flat, which is easier said than done. I’m looking for a pair of headphones that won’t be a simple sidegrade. I’m willing to get a new amplifier if need...

Received my La Figaro 339 tube amp yesterday, but it has a problem. Everything works (tubes light up, power on, sounds does come through) except the audio; it is largely crackling, and the music is very faint. I’ve tried changing tubes around etc so I think it is a circuit problem. The problem...

Hello everyone. Being honest here this is my first time considering buying real headphones (and upgrading from the standard mobile trashy ones). After a lot of searching and reviews i think I have come down to some picks but i am always open to suggestions. (location is Switzerland / France...

Hi, I'm writing this post out of frustration and disbelieve that such a renown brand is capable of behaving like this to a customer. I'll do my best to keep this about the facts, as I want this to be a call for help and not a rant. I purchased the upgrade from HE1000 v1 to v2 in May this year...

Hello all, this is my first post. I have been reading these forums for quite some time but can't quite decide what IEMs I should get. I was hoping you all could give me a suggestion or two. I have a pair of Shure 1540s and LOVE the detail and clarity. I had an old pair of Bose IEM, but they...

Hi All, Recently I decided to take a plunge on a vintage Harman Kardon 930 receiver. The piece is almost in mint condition, the only issue being that it hasn't been powered on for potentially 20+ years. After reading a bit, it seems like a variac would be in order to get things moving again...

Hey everyone! Heads up: Im on mobile so im sorry if the spelling or formatting is utter garbage ahead of time. Simply put: Im looking for a pair of headphones prefferably sub 300 (up to 350 before tax is fine) Since cords can be a convience hassle due to them getting snagged on almost...

I bought a set of iSine10 from audeze and I intend to use the personalized audio setting on my Samsung Galaxy s7 to equalize the sound signature more to my hearing. It plays a beep tone at different sound levels and asks if you can hear it and adjusts the EQ to match. Is there something online...

I wanted to get these IEMs, but wanted a bluetooth MMCX backup-cable. There would be this one for example, but it says that it only is for some Shure IEMs. Looking for MMCX cables made for the Tinaudio T2 gives back no results. Can I use these for the T2 anyway or how does that work?

Hello Everyone, Pre-face: I have VERY limited knowledge about electronic internals / why things break. I am seeking advice with how to go about getting my Audio Alchemy DDP-1's power supply repaired as it is out of warranty and I cannot operate the DAC without it (plus I love this DAC and...

I am a musician but do not call myself an audiophile. I am however interested in getting the best sounding set-up for the price and this forum seems to know what they are talking about. I have a pair of akg k702s that I have used for years without an amplifier, and while reading posts on this...

Hi! I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 (over-ear) which I'm thinking about returning, they were slightly small for my ears which caused them to be unwantingly uncomfortable. I am therefore looking for a better alternative before taking any action. (Bought them at 210 dollars)...

Hi I bought my trusty d12 from the classifieds a few years ago and I love it, but I'm having trouble running it as a dedicated dac for the optical out of my tv. I think my battery is shot. It doesn't seem to hold a charge, and I can't hear any switching inside the unit unless it's on charge...

Hi everyone! I'm new here on the forum and I got word of it from a friend that everyone here is pretty good at helping beginners such as me! =D The problem at hand is as follows: I have a full Surround 5.1 Yamaha YHT1840 System lying around and I wish to connect it to my PC for movie viewing...

Hey guys! I've been trying to find replacement pads for my ATH WS1100is, and I came across the Brainwavz Hybrid velours which seem like a good choice to me. This may seem stupid but I just don't know whether or not they will fit properly. I'd appreciate it a lot if someone can help me out or...

So i'm interested in buying a "high-end" pair of headphone for daily use. I'm contemplating between LCD-2C and DT1990 PRO. Which one would suit my needs the best? I listen to jazz, pop, and rock. Other suggestion other than the two headphones are also welcomed. Sorry for bad english, i'm not...

Hello, I was wondering if there any good alternatives to the M40x' especially within the AudioTechnica line. I'm looking for a slightly V-shaped if not a neutral or mid-centric pair of closed back headphones with good soundstage. I have been interested in the A series, specifically the...

I think I've decided on the FLC 8S Hybrid Dual Balanced Armature Dynamic Earphones over the Sony MDR7550 Professional In-Ear Headphones, unless that's a bad choice. My question is, if I'm going to be using these with my (Android) cell phone mostly, should I buy a DAC as well? If so, I've found...
