Current setup: PC w/ Sound Blaster Z outputted using non amped 3.5mm > E09k > DT 1990// E09k > AVR via line out My next move is to replace my FiiO E09k. I'm tired of the audio imbalanced occurring and the static when I adjust volume. I'm considering the Magni Hersey and maybe a miniDPS HD...

First this is the complete setup: Source: PC Output via non amped audio port from the SBZ > (3.5mm adapter to RCA) FiiO E09k > stereo receiver for speakers via line out + front headphone jack output (on the E09k) I have it setup like this for 3 reasons. 1) I need hardware volume control/a...

Currently looking at: SRH840 and Crossfare M-100. Any other recommendations? They'll be used for gaming and music. General music genre is alternative rock.

No, not all, but they basically block no outside noise.

What about one that has equal or better base and soundstage, can be worn for hours comfortably, and has the same open feeling of the grados?

250. COmpared to my grados they don't seem as open. The grados have a very airy feel to them, while the 990s feel more closed.

Looking for an upgrade from my DT990. Want something that is a lot more open. Can be worn for long hours and are comfortable. A Detachable cable would be nice. Good and plenty bass. Large sound stage. Nends to be durable. I transport my main headphones often. $3-400 used or new

Instead of using standard analog 3.5/XXmm cables, is it possible to use digital ones instead? Could you replace it with say an Ethernet cable? I don't know the science behind audio to that extent so I'm not sure if that's even possible.

Currently, I have a 3.5mm plugged into the first 3.5mm port next to the headphone jack, that goes into an 3.5mm to RCA adapter, which then goes into my FiiO E09k AUX IN, then from there my speakers are connected to the LINE OUT, and headphones into the FiiO headphone output in the front.   Is...

Okay, so I have a Creative Sound Blaster Z, FiiO E09k amp, M-Audio M10 speakers, and DT 990 250ohm headphones. The amp has a headphone port which uses the built in amp on the sound card and surround sound ports. Not sure which to use.  

*Signal degradation*   Bought a Creative Sound Blaster Z so I don't have to use my garbage onboard when I'm away from home, but when I'm home I want to use the SBZ DAC/features as well. Should I see any degrade/issues when using both amps? I'd prefer to still use my FiiO E09k amp mainly for...

Quote:   I did a fairly good amount of research on the model. Quite a few reviews and posts about them on this forum. I'll just give them away I guess, oh well.

So.. I just got my  LG HSS-F420 and they are either bad or fakes.   Where I got them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261170007768?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649     They have ZERO bass. I mean, I EQd the hell out of the music and still no bass. Are they fakes? They just...

Just decided to buy the LG.

Wondering if the sound quality is any different and if so, by how much.   The LG is in South Korea and the Nexus must be local.   LG: Estimated between Mon. Jul. 1 and Tue. Jul.   Nexus: Between Fri. Jun. 21 and Tue. Jun. 25   Both are $35 shipped.
