As the title saids. As of late when I keep listening to all my FLAC files either with speakers or headphones after like 30 or so minutes I just need to shut it off because my head will be hurting like crazy. Changing the volume doesn't work at all.

And I NEVER have this problem with my turntable.

Is this the fatigue that people talk about with Digital? I never had this problem with Digital before and this problem just starting to appear just a few weeks ago.

Any idea what should I do?

A few weeks ago this started so you've tossed your MP3 player? What was it you were using for digital playback?

Nope. It was my outside source. I had this home setup for months.

Do you jump around, rock your head etc. that is causing impacts with surrounding room furnature, walls etc.

Perhaps you should wear a crash helmet.

It's the 1s and 0s penetrating your brain.

Could it be you need a bit of crossfeed?
Crossfeed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

^Speakers natually crossfeed, so no. I need artificial crossfeed when I listen to 'phones, or else I get a headache. Never with speakers.

Do you have clear audio signal path configured? If you use Windows 7 or Vista, chances are unless you use ASIO or Kennel Streaming, the sound can be bad/harsh and degraded.

For starters LOL at your comments guys.

I'm on XP and using ASIO.

After thinking about it I think most of my headaches are with the headphones. I'm going to try out the Crossfeed to see if that does the trick.

this plugin is great for crossfeed: VNoPhones

and I find this player w/ASIO4ALL far better sounding than anything else on my XP SP3 box: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/6414854-post110.html

it's less agressive and far more analog sounding to me

Does this mean you do not use your headphones with your turntable?
