I'd like to run Equalizer APO with my LCD2Cs, because the right EQ can make them sound like heaven. How do you guys choose between the two? Is bit-perfect playback worth not being able to to EQ your headphones? If I make sure no other audio streams are sent to my DAC, am I still somehow...

I purchased a Polk Audio PSW10 10" sub for my office, and I installed rubber feet on it (SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System) to reduce the spread of bass through the floor. This hasn't helped, so I'm thinking I'll need to add padding to items in my room that are effected by the bass. This...

I've been out of the high quality audio loop for over a decade. Now that I'm more set in my career, I thought it's time to build a high quality wireless audio system. The problem is that I don't know where to start. Here is what I'm trying to achieve: I'm building a very high end Windows...

Hi all. I'm building an Intel NUC for regular use, but also for YouTube and YouTube audio use. Basically I want to get great sound while using the computer, and to watch music videos and concerts on my big screen with it also. I've already ordered “Intel BNUC11TNKI30000 NUC Pro Barebone Kit -...

I may have missed this somewhere apologies if covered elsewhere! I'm using a Dragonfly Red with a new install of Linux Mint. Music plays fine, but I can't EQ anything. I have the PulseAudio Equalizer installed, but I believe it only effects the analogue outs and it isn't EQ'ing anything out...

I am listening headphones to find something suitable for me. Mostly I use them for computer games and movies. I need great punchy boom bass, good soundstage and good details of sound in general, prefer neutral sound signature ( but it's not for music in there most cases ). Yesterday I listened...

Hi, I am looking for some recommendations for headphones to use while sitting at my PC listening to music (and maybe for use with my turntable, maybe). My budget is flexible, but something around the £250 mark would be good. I have an HRT Microstreamer USB DAC capable of driving lower impedance...

Hey guys. I just updated my 2011 Macbook Pro to (unofficial) Catalina as well as convert my drive from HFS+ to APFS. So far everything has been working fine and fluently, except Audirvana. Audirvana is a huge laggy mess, even on High Sierra it was but now it's worse. It lags on the album view...

Hello all, I would like advice on which DAC and AMP pair to buy. I mainly use a pair of high quality, but very easy to drive IEMs, namely the Westone ES50s which have an impedance of 20 ohms at 1khz. In addition I would also like to drive a pair of KRK Systems VXT6 speakers with this setup...

I'm attempting to find a better way to wire my PC setup and you really appreciate some advice on the subject. I have a set of Koss ESP/95X which are connected to their energizer, which is then connected to an Aune T1se DAC/AMP via RCA/Component (Red and White) connector, then from the Aune T1se...

Hello all, I just wanted to ask if what my dad and I are both hearing is just our imagination. First off, I am streaming spotify premium high quality on both PS4 and PC. We both swear that tracks have extra depth and clarity from my ps4 going into my Schiit Modi 3 and JBL 305 speakers. We tested...

Hello. I bought Superlux HD-681F yesterday. I am delighted from these headphones! They are amazing, especially for their price! This is my first headphones after Ritmix RH-508 Now I see, that PC/Laptop and smartphone are not the best option for these headphones. I was listening them on Fiio X5...

I have a Sennheizer 2.0 Momentum attached to a Logitech 5-Z300 (5.1 surround sound) system, which is plugged into a SoundBlaster Rx/5 soundcard. What is the cheapest way I can improve this setup that will be noticeable?

Hi Everyone, I got an Asus Essense STX II card and can't find any information regarding the RCA out, I want to connect it to a Little Dot MK II using Phono - Phono cables but I'm aware you shouldn't connect an already amplified source to another device than can amplify again. I've searched...

What's the best way to get digital audio out of one computer and into another? I've got a several years old Desktop PC and a Macbook Air which I frequently use simultaneously. For many years I've been using a male to male 3.5mm aux cable between the computers, outputting from the Macbook and...

My Sound Blaster Audigy Rx/5 came with a default of 16 bit, 48,000 Hz, but I changed it to 24 bit, 48,000 Hz. I was just curious if there was a piece of software that would know what settings were best when. (BTW I know little about sample rate and bit depth so I apologize if this was a stupid...
