I'd like to run Equalizer APO with my LCD2Cs, because the right EQ can make them sound like heaven. How do you guys choose between the two? Is bit-perfect playback worth not being able to to EQ your headphones? If I make sure no other audio streams are sent to my DAC, am I still somehow...

Hi there I was just wondering what the "proper" audio settings for windows would be. lets take my bifrost 2 as an example. On the spec sheets it can go up to 24/192 for usb, Is that what i should set windows audio settings to? This is kinda a bad example given its a multibit dac and I could also...

Winamp has released its first release candidate after four years in development, officially bringing the popular media player out of beta. Before music streaming platforms rose to prominence, we needed to rip our music from CDs and play the resulting MP3 files on a media player. One of the...

Recently I am able to subscribed to a 4 months free trial on apple music, tried playing them over my fiio DAP, they sounded better than Tidal app (android), but when i switch over to stream music using a PC connected to an external DAC/AMP, Apple music cannot deliver bit-perfect music given that...

I have a Burson conductor 3x reference and I'm trying to use it with Avaya Softphone. It won't let me select the Burson because it is not a 'communications' device. Is there a way around this?

Hey,so I am wondering if I play my cd on my laptop and decide I want to hear a certain song that's not the first is it better for the cd to skip from windows media player with the button that skips tracks or should I go manually into the cd using file explorer and play the song I want by double...

So Windows 11 has a new "Enhance audio" switch in sound settings. The description below says "Automatically improve sound quality (turn off if you experience sound issues)". What does this mean? What does it do to the sound? Does it just add some unnecessary sound effects or something? Will it...

Sound recording company looking for a way to transfer 2TB audio files over WAN (100 km far away ), the source PCs included: windows 10 and the destination device: included (windows server 2019 ) . we need all the audio files(2TB) to be transferred in one time, then we need any changes or...

Hello everyone. I have recently bought my first more or less audiophile set up: Drop HD 6XX -> drop thx aaa one ( no balanced inputs ) -> mogami RCA cables -> custom made DAC based on ES9038Q2M chip with amanero USB input and bluetooth module -> klotz usb cable -> Anker hub -> MacBook Pro 16...

Seems like Windows 10 (latest version) doesnt isolate the sound driver well, or maybe its an IRQ management issue. Either way I replicated the issue using Foobar and VLC. When using an external usb DAC, no issue. And this is happening on a brand new Surface Laptop 3, which is made by Microsoft...

Hello, I currently own a modest (both in number and value) collection of headphones, most of which have low impedance (32 to 60 ohm). The source is an Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card and the OS is Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit. I like gaming, listening to music and watching movies with headphones...

Hi, so I've realised if I was to categorise all my music with album art, lyrics, featured artists etc, it would take me about three days of non stop work as I have about 480 albums that need to be processed. I have used Bliss hq, which is pretty great except that, apart from getting album the...

Can I just connect 2 USB DACs to my Windows 10 computer and simply switch between them in Windows using the Windows Sound dialog box? (This would be just like when I switch between my Chord DAC and my internal sound card.) I of course would have the drivers for both DACs. I read about Jriver...

I realise that when using dedicated music playback software it is best to use ASIO/WASAPI to output your audio in its native state, however for general use I've just stumbled across something that has me confused. Edit: I have a Sound Blaster Omni as well as a Modi Multibit. Both are being used...

I don't know if this is the best place to ask because it's more of a headset than headphones but I've been using the kraken 7.1 for at least a year or two and it seems that whenever I'm on windows 10 the audio starts clipping when I have them on high volume ( ) The odd part is that when i'm on...
