I'm also experiencing the same Tidal error. Even when setting to 16/44, the app isn't happy.   Since the DACport HD doesn't do MQA, I have Exclusive Mode and Force Volume checked. With software processing MQA, should get 24/96 so I set my DACport to 32/96 for now.   I started seeing the...

just a fyi... if you don't have an receipt and your earphones's break, Shure will also look at the time stamp on the earphones and if they were made within the warranty period they'll replace them without a receipt. if you buy them on ebay just ask for the manufacture date and if it's...

Hmmm... I used to use the SE530s for gaming. While I never really focused on the differences between my current gaming cans (Ultrasone HFI-780) and the SE530s, generally the consensus is that SE530s have definite treble rolloff. What does that mean? Basically the SE530s cut off the very high...

In reality, how much something is worth depends completely on the person who buys them. For me, I'm still new in the game so I've never seriously compared anything and I can barely tell the difference between my Shure SE530s and my Ultrasone HFI-780s. So if I got the UE11s, although I know...

Although I can't say for a fact because I haven't received my Livewires yet... But I used to own the SE530s and went over to the Livewires in favor of it's more even sound. They're $250 + Cost of Impressions (~$25) so less or around the price of the SE530s and many people say the Livewires...

Yeah... echoing what everyone has said here. Get the Shure Olives for like 10 bucks and be happy. I had the se530s and I thought they were ridiculously comfortable because of the olive foams.

Wow...I finally finished catching up on this 275-page thread. Yay! I went to get my ear impressions done by John Diles himself and I'm about to join the Red/Blue/Black team. I hope I don't have fit problems... But if I do I live about a hour away by public transportation.

hmmm is it just me or do some of those pictures of UE in them.... Oh ROFL I just noticed there's a person as well doing inappropriate things to the UE logo.

Shure's warranty is amazing. I got one of the earphones with the cracked cables and they replaced it without questions.

I have the HFI-780 and I absolutely love it for gaming.

Actually to my knowledge the Auzen Prelude doesn't have DH. The following Dolby® technologies will not be supported on the X-Fi Prelude 7.1 due to feature overlap: Dolby® Pro Logic® IIX, Dolby® Virtual Speaker, and Dolby® Headphone. Auzentech, Inc. Sound Cards. Audio You Can Believe In...
