Hi everyone, I've enjoyed this forum for some time and I enjoy the help and discussion that goes on here. I consider myself to be a good forum-er and hail from a programming/technical background and so I naturally enjoy these type of things. That being said, I searched google and head-fi and wasn't able to find a definitive guide to the basic, primary possibilities and setups of a computer and earphone system, so I'll ask here.
Basically, I am purchasing some UE Super.Fi 5 Pro's, and I want them to sound good. Although they should sound pretty dern good (to my untrained ear that uses semi-nice Maximo iMetal earphones), I talked with a friend that suggested I get what he called an in-line EQ and/or in-line conditioner. Now, I am looking for top-notch high quality sound, but I am not going to be a fanatic about it. I want something that will at least do the earphones justice, but something that is really just cheap and works, however simple.
It would really help to suggest a couple of these devices and also name a few very basic components in a typical computer+earphone setup, as well as possibly a typical iPod+earphone setup.
Thank you for your help in advance, I think once I get the basics down I can do more advanced research on my own.
