I will definitely keep an eye out for that headphone. Another question that came to mind is that what is rather not talked about in most reviews is the true sensitivity. I am not sure if the market here is the same as for car audio but the specs in car audio are mostly fudged so even tho your...

hah I suppose, I'm still stuck between them and the HD598 just due to local availability (I like the bargains of local classifieds on items like these), however if i could source the th-x00 for the 300 mentioned by metal571 I would do it considering it saves me money on the amp making the total...

the only time I can 'tell' between these is in my car but I'm pretty certain it has to do with the decoder and the computational abilities of the HU (its a 15 y/o deck) which explain why the same difference is noted when I create an Audio CD from mp3's on my PC- basically there is no difference...

great info, thanks a bunch. the pre amp for these application is baffling to me- is it only there to get the tube cosy feeling, or are they used with some vinyl players to amp up the signal for the dac? i would assume if im working with a pc then this would be redundant... but yeah coming from...

i think this would be best- first the magni, then modi and later i can get the Vali 2 to try tubes. its hard to source just the amp tho... and they are out of stock on their official website ¯\(ツ)/¯

well thats ignorant of me, i confused bit rate with sample rate. the highest quality I have on hand is CD (44khz flac format) files. i will research on HR Audio and check that out. And i was willing to spend more to try out tube amps and what the whole woop is about- i have read a short guide...

just a quick question about this item- the DAC on it only does 24bit/96kHz sample rate where i get 192 on all channels from the on-board alc898. I would have to go optical to match that i assume price tag would go with it, now is there just an AMP you would recommend? i would think getting just...

preferably yes, since I often use them at night so I don't create too much noise. thanks for the info, I will check out his channel for other drivers as well - i'm not set in stone on the DT770.

around 150US would be my budget. This will be desktop only, I figured that the higher impedance will have better damping factor, but how much can I get away with on just the mobo? I see you have some 300ohm drivers- the Sennheiser HD600, HD650, how much would I be looking at for an amp to power...

I'm thinking of upgrading to more comfy headgear, currently have Marshall Major (1st version, got them for free so don't judge) and they are killing my earlobes for years now. I figured I would go with the popular BeyerDynamic DT 770 PRO, I am just not sure if I should get: 32 Ohm version and...

I recently developed this problem where the HDD (secondary) keeps Read/write all the time even on idle (everything shut down and the only I/O Reads are done by Client server Run time Process) I know this because I have an SSD and I hear the needle on the HDD going crazy. Initially I had 3...

Long story short... Installed Intel RST and it caused my boot time to go from 18sec to 90sec.. un-instaled it and now I still have 90 sec boot time unless I Disable the ASmedia ports in bios (z77 Mobo)... there was no issue with that prior Intel RST, and when I contacted the Intel support they...
