    Problem with Denafrips Ares II. Windows volume is Loud!!!

    Yeah, I hear you. Have a UMIK-1 around here somewhere that I will need to learn to use, along with REW. That being said, with these about a foot and a half from my face noticed a definite improvement. All in for making this even better.

    Problem with Denafrips Ares II. Windows volume is Loud!!!

    Thank you! Thank you! I forgot about this program. Installed it and set up a simple parametric EQ found on this thread. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/focal-solo6-be-spinorama-and-measurements.23499/ Took an already great system up a couple notches! I want to sit...

    Problem with Denafrips Ares II. Windows volume is Loud!!!

    Thank you for all the tips! The Denafrips is going out of the XLR's to a studio subwoofer, then to Focal Solo6 monitors. The monitors do not have gain knobs. The sub does, but no control on what it sends to the monitors high pass. Figured it out. Updated the firmware on the DAC to the latest...

    Problem with Denafrips Ares II. Windows volume is Loud!!!

    Just picked this up from Ebay at a great price. Hooked it up to my Windows 10 PC via USB and it is SUPER LOUD! The volume slider in Windows doesnt seem to do much until I take it all the way down and only then it mutes the sound. I installed a windows driver from Denafrip's website and it has a...

    Guitar Center used monitors.

    As a follow-up to this saga, I had finally got in touch with someone at GC and they offered me a return or a discount. I took the discount that was not too shabby and looking to replace the tweeter. Returning them wasn't too great of an option for me as I would have to drive to my "local" Guitar...

    Guitar Center used monitors.

    OMG. Listened to these again on my desk with my RME DAC and they are amazing. So crisp and such dynamic range! Best monitors I have ever heard! Edit: Guess the coffee cup under the aforementioned tweeter may come to kill me..

    My local GC is kinda far away but FAR better than shipping these

    Guitar Center used monitors.

    Oh boy, I forgot that it is toxic... These are being quarantined and will be returned. I have bought some incredible deals from the used section in the past. Also, communication from GC has been really responsive in the past. Its really telling that they went dark. This is not Great Condition...

    Guitar Center used monitors.

    Bought a pair of Focal Solo6 be studio monitors at Guitar Center at great price last week. Took 7 days to get here and when I unboxed them this is one of the tweeters.. Listed as "Great Condition" and purchased from GC Syracuse NY. In the pics they had black covers (that come with the...

    Topping E70 Velvet (AKM 4499EX)

    Just received this DAC today. How do you put it in setup mode??? Want to put it in DAC mode and change to 5 volt and in no way will it do it according to the crazy instructions. Instructions: Turn the unit off, while holding the knob in, turn on via remote and it will be in Setup Mode...

    Schiit Modius E DAC Review

    I just bought one of these used. Hooking it up now and have a question. Should I power it separately with a phone charger, or just let the USB power the unit? Would there be a difference in sound quality? Going to run this from my PC feeding Adam studio monitors.

    Sound for a PC gaming rig

    Thats a great price on that first one. Reviews say really good sound quality as well. I bought something simular but not as large, with a gooseneck. Im sure the above mics are great but they are a bit to big. will block my monitor. Thanks to everyone for the helpful advice!

    Sound for a PC gaming rig

    AWESOME! That's exactly what I was wondering. Been so long out of the gaming world. Used to have an onboard sound card so this was fairly simple back in the day.

    Sound for a PC gaming rig

    IDK what the mic sounded like but the headphone sounded like dogs**t. Maybe a bad sample but its going back.
