Hi all, I currently own and use the Schiit Magni 3 / Modi 3 stack. Should I upgrade the amp to the THX AAA 789? The headphones I use at the moment are the ATH-M50, AKG 7XX, and Mr. Speakers Alpha Dog. However, I would like to upgrade to a TOTL headphone for Metal.

Hi all, Just trying to twist my thoughts around the best way to upgrade my computer's audio. I am currently running Windows 10 with Logitech Z-5500 plugged straight into the motherboard. 1. Get a sound card and plug the Z-5500's into that. 2. Get a USB DAC and run RCA to a stereo receiver and...

What is a good FLAC player for iOS? More specifically for iPhone 7 Plus. I did a search, but the posts were really old. Hell, it's almost 2017!!! I've been slowly getting away from mp3 320 and have a collection of metal FLAC music. Now, I finally have a phone with decent storage. What works well? 

Hi all,   I really want to get another turntable. I have a few records I have collected over the years and would love to listen to them again. I am very close to pulling the trigger on the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Esprit SB. However, convincing my wife to spend $600 is an issue.   The...

If I have an album as a 1 track FLAC file, can I split it into individual songs? I ask because I usually listen on random and like a track by track mix.

Hi all,   Any recommendations for a clock radio that docks an iPhone 5S? My wife's old clock has the 30 pin connector. Been looking at the iHome ones at Amazon.

M-Duo $39.99!!!   http://www.meelec.com/Articles.asp?ID=140&utm_source=MEElectronics+Newsletter&utm_campaign=b5069c45f0-MEElectronics_MDuo1_24_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_56d6302509-b5069c45f0-20836465

Hi all,   What is the best (preferred) way to convert WAV to MP3? Say I buy a high-res WAV from HDtracks? FLAC won't work on my iPod, so that's out.   I listen to WAV on my computer (Schiit Modi/Magni to Alpha Dogs) and CBR 320 MP3 on my iPod. 

Anyone have a recommendation for Car Audio forums? I need to tweak the sound in my F-150.

Hi all,   Just getting back into ripping my cd's onto my hard drive. I have used EAC in the past (quite recently) and today it quit ripping mp3's. I used to keep the wav for archive and mp3 for my ipod.   I have EAC v1.0 beta 3 (2011) and LAME 3.99.5   I think it may have to do with...

Wow,   I've been re-ripping all of my cd's into 320 kbps mp3 using EAC with LAME codec. I had a nice new folder all set up. Organized by Band > Album. I just changed my iTunes directory to the new folder and BAM! It got rid of all my hierarchy and put 90% of my files into an Unknown Artist >...

Hi all,   Has anyone compiled a list of better-than-average metal recordings? I would like to compare my collection, about 2000 cd's. I am in the (slow) process of ripping all of my cd's to 320 kbps mp3 and wav files.

Hi all,   I am a virgin to downloading legitimate music from the hdtracks.com site. With my newly acquired Schiit Magni/Modi stack and impending arrival of my Alpha Dogs, I want to have at least one bonafide decent recording.   I also want to buy the  Chesky Records - Explorations In Space...

Hi guys,   I really like using something free, like Youtube, to preview albums/artists before I buy them. But that being said, there is a huge gap on what is available. I have a lot of older and rare Death/Heavy/Black metal CD's that I'd love to share on Youtube. I have Googled quite a bit and...

Hi all,   I want to get my wife a Bluetooth headset for her iPhone this Christmas. Her car doesn't have Bluetooth and the crappy speaker thing she bought doesn't work so well. What are some good ones to look at?   Attributes I am looking for are:   Volume Clarity Good mic Easy to use...

Hi all,   Running into a problem of sorts. Originally I had ripped all of my cd's with iTunes into m4v format, mainly due to ignorance. I hate that I can't use mp3 Gain to normalize the volume disparity between all of my music. HATE HATE HATE when one song is loud then the next is quiet...

Hello all,   Looking for suggestions on a nice set of headphones. I am basically looking for accuracy and tight bass, ie... a sealed sub (tight) vs ported (sloppy) IMHO. FYI I use JL Audio Sealed subs and components in my F-150.   Currently use Corsair Vengeance 1500 USB Gaming Headset. I...

Hi guys,   What would you recommend for Heavy Metal, mostly. I listen on my iPod Classic 250 Gb, no amps. Right now I use the Monoprice 8320's and they are great for a cheap in-ear. But want to hear what the next step is. Please bear my sarcasm, I'm full of it.    I listen to a variety...

Has anyone reviewed these? I can't find anything here.   http://www.amazon.com/Philips-SHL1700-28-Lightweight-Headphone/dp/B004JU0E3U/ref=sr_1_149?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1359668837&sr=1-149&keywords=phillips
