So how is everyone, its been a while since I last posted. Anyway im kind of easing my way back into audio gear. I just recently got the moondrop dawn pro which I really like. You see iv always had DACs that are probably more analytical or maybe neutral. But after hearing this little dawn...

Hey guys! I am looking to upgrade my amp and or dac. I am looking at either the Jotunheim, the Fostex HP-A4BL, an audio gd NFB-28, Aune s6, or maybe wait for the Monoprice Monolith dac amp (looks really impressive at least on paper). Or maybe something else if you have any suggestions? I am...

I notice a number of links to taobao.com but it does not seem like they have a version of the site in English unless I am missing something?  Google translate works on some pages but if i go to checkout and it asks to fill out i assume your address ect google translate does not work.  So I am...

OK so I have been going back and forth between my Soundblaster ZXR, Schiit Mimby(modi multibit) and magni 2 uber.  And i have to say i am very impressed by the xd-05.  The level of detail and cleanness of the audio from this little thing is just something you have to listen too.  I would...

Ok so i got my Magni 2 uber and my modi multibit today and i have a question about the preamp on the magni 2 going to my desktop speakers.  My question is does the magni operate as just a pass through in this mode?  Reason I ask is that if it is jjust a pass through i should be able to max the...

So i currently own a pair of He400is and am in teh drop for the Th-x00 ebony but i am wondering if i should cancel that and maybe get a different dac/amp instead.     Would the Th-x00s be better or have something that would stand out over the he400is.  Which one would have finer details like...

Hello everyone I need help understanding the OPAMPs I know the ZXR has 4 but i assume 2 for each channel 2 for right and 2 for left?  So I Guess it comes down to why two for each Chanel and how does one affect the other as far as sound.     I also have no idea what kind of OPAMs would be...

Hello everyone, I have a creative zxr and I am wanting to play with the OP AMPs to see if I can get some better sound out of my card.  I have very little understanding as to how these work.  I know my card has 4 op amps I assume 2 for each channel?   I have seen pictures of people putting 2 of...

Ok so currently I have an audio technica m50x and a pair of akg 7xx headphones.  I also am using a creative zxr sound card and a centrance dacport slim for use on the go.     I like the detail and sound stage of the 7xx headphones but they are too analytical or harsh to my ears for my taste...

I have a serious love hate relationship with IEMs.  I just got my new FLC 8s headphones and they sound fantastic.  But i cant keep a seal on these no matter what i do.  Small and medium tips create no seal.  The large tip seals but i can slowly feel it slip out until it breaks the seal, it wont...

So What would be better the swan m50ws or this build.     Micca MB42X Bookshelf Speakers Dayton Audio SUB-1000 Lepai LP-2020A+   This build would cost roughly $260 dollars shipped while the M50s would cost me $230 shipped.  Iv heard good things about the swan system. The system i put...

Currently i have logitech z623 speakers which have served me pretty well but they are far from perfect.  Right now i am in on the swans m50w deal on massdrop.  But i am wondering if there would be a better option?  What ever setup im pretty sure ill need a sub of some kind as I like bass.  I...

Ok so these forums wont let me post any where but here.  Any way i got a schiit fulla in the mail today and i am extremely disappointed.  Tried 3 cables and three different devices random crackling on all three devices and cables.  This crackling is not affected by the volume knob.  This tells...

So i actualy am looking for possibly 2 diffrent solutions one mobile for my laptop and one for my desktop or both if there is a solution that would be good in that regard.  I have Audio tecchnica m50x and senn ie80s.  I love the sound out of both of them all warm and cozy sounding very relaxing...
