    Yo I am planning to upgrade my THX00 purple hearts for TH900's. How do they differ and what improvements can i expect? I would replace the TH900 pads with THX ones. Cheers

    Best headphone under 500 euros w/o need for amplifier

    The Sennheiser HD25 with aftermarket pads sound awesome, they can compete with my Fostex TH-X00 purple hearts which i really love and cost 4x as much. The Fostex are already good headphones for the price. The Fostex have a little bit more bass and less mids. The aftermarket pads made a huge...

    Problems with USB isolator

    Thanks a lot for your answer. i did as you suggested, the control panel setting didn't solve the issue. As for the setting in device manager, there is no USB port power setting options for devices that are listed. I did it on all the other USB ports but didn't change a thing. Even rebooting the...

    Distance between audio devices and desktop PC any relevant?

    Well i bought my usb isolator to get rid of ground loop but it also has reclocking. It did clean the signal, much cleaner sound now. It's not a hifi device tho, it's primarly intended for medical and industrial use, also for measuring equipment. No false promises of divine sound like hifi...

    Distance between audio devices and desktop PC any relevant?

    Well a battery powered laptop is pretty much the best source for audio, the isolation from the battery trumps anything that plugs in to the wall. But ye, i also believe in shortest signal path is the best. Do you hear a difference?

    Desolder USB type-C jack and solder a Type-B instead on my Khadas tone board

    What if i would use adapters? i only found one that goes from C to B female in Egypt xD or i would have to use one USB-C male>USB a female and then a USB A male--> USB B female But i am afraid that would degrade sound quality by a lot. WHat do you think?
