Dac

Hey guys. I need your help, so let me explain. So I just bought the Modi/magni 2 uber along with Monolith M1060 Planar Headphones. I have a Samsung KS8000 TV that is connected to a Samsung soundbar via the Arc output. My Pc is connected to the samsung tv as well. As of right now I have my...

Hi all I'm look for a good usb DAC headphone amp that can power the HD650s for around £60, I was originally looking at the FiiO E10K Olympus but am unaware or whether or not it will be able to power the HD650s as it's rated for 150 ohms

I've recently been interested in investing in my own audiophile/recording setup, but it's a little confusing for me. I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this. What I'm essentially aiming for in terms of sound quality is entry-level audiophile quality, I suppose. Something I can at...

I recently purchased a pair of KRK Rokit 5 Studio Monitors. I connected them via RCA to 3.5mm jack into my PC. They sounded great, except that they had a white noise/popping/crackling noise emitting from them that changed when I opened a program or moved my mouse. When I plugged the jack into my...

So I have a blue yeti currently that I plug my headset into the audio jack on and then I can hear my computer and myself talk and I love it, but I have decided to get some really nice headphones the m50x's and I heard that getting an amp or dac can really make it sound even better, but fro my...

Let me preface this by saying I know a little, but I don't know enough to really make an informed decision with this purchase. So I've come to ask you to help me get the most bang for my buck with my purchase. <3 What I'm after is basically just some extra volume. I think my onboard sound (Asus...

I've been looking for headphones, and I found the Beyerdynamic DT990. I have two main things: I want to use them for gaming (CS:GO: pinpointing the exact location of footsteps), and listening to some music (EDM, house, trap) with some bass. My motherboard is the Gigabyte. GA-Z170X-UD5 TH. Now...

Okay, So this is a very old subject, but still it isnt clear to me. Actually I bought a M50x Matte Grey version few days ago. What I heard about M50s that its a bit over rated, its not that great. But however I found it wonderful and enough for me:). I like the Bass, the clarity. To me...

I'm currently looking for a nice pair of headphones and an amp, my budget is $200 for headphones and $120 for the amp. I like clarity with some good bass, not too much to make it sound muddy and distorted. I like to hear good detail in music and games. I'm also looking to have virtual "surround...

I'm looking to take the plunge into the world of audio, the best pair of headphones I have being the Sony 7.1 Golds I bought with my PS4. I'm looking at the DT990 Pros because of the bass and soundstage, and the fact that it's open. The only problem I have is I don't know if the amp I have...

Hey, I just recently bought the Senheiser HD 598. I am really pleased with these headphones, but I would like to upgrade to using an external AMP/DAC. I don't want to spend much though. I already have a few ideas, like the FiiO e10K and SMSL SD 79311. Although I have a two questions: Will...

I have a creative inspire T7700 7+1 speaker system. It is connected to my PC for gaming purposes. I want to use it for my TV as well but the TV has only an optical audio output and speakers don't have a input for it. How can i connect it to my TV as well as my PC if I can ever ?

Hey. I could really use some words of wisdom here. I recently purchased a Marantz PM6005 amplifier and Polk tsx220b speakers to go with it. The amp is hooked to my PCs soundcard via S/PDIF. I always assumed that when you use S/PDIF, you cannot even change the volume level from the source, since...

Hello! I have the Custom one pro plus headphones, which are 15 ohm. my question is what amp/dac should i get for them. my budget is less than 200 dollars. Cheers!

Hello I'm kind of a noob with amps and dacs and I have this question that i need answer for before I buy anything. I'm going to build Objective2 headphone amp (building isn't a problem for me) but now I'd like to know if I even need a external DAC or am I good to go with my motherboards...

I recently picked up these AKG Q701s and love how they sound, the only problem is I think my PC has a little trouble driving them as theyre a little quiet even on max volume. I hear the sound quality and volume increases with an amp What would be a good amp to use with these? Im not familiar...

I just got this Amp_Dac for my DT990 250ohm headphones: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=120&cp_id=12008&cs_id=1200801&p_id=11567&seq=1&format=2 It is a remodeled Fiio E09K + it has a DAC in it, so it is quality made and is suppossedly 15-600ohm I also see "Output Power" on the specs of the...

I need some advice, and that being said I'm looking for an external DAC or audio interface to complete my studio setup. I have a pair of M-AUDIO DX8 D2 that I ordered and I figured I could just hook it to my computer directly using a TRS to 3.5 mm jack, would that work? if not can I hook it to...

I can be considered an audiophile but that name carries alot of snobbery so no. Im a BIG gamer and love my audio, i also listen to metal and rock alot so i like mids and bass for my music, i would prefer to hear mids and bass in games and less highs (im not good with all this aha). I live in...

Hello! I've recently become interested in using my portable set up with my desktop. However I noticed that the integrated soundcard on my Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 doesn't cut it. My portable set up is the Fiio E11 amp + Sansa Fuze LO (V2, I really can't remember, the one with the wolfsten DAC) +...
