Hi everyone. I think I am looking for a combination DAC and headphone amp. I'm starting to geek out on my sound systems at my desks at home and at work. At work I primarily listen on a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4s. The noise reduction does a great job on the constant air handler rumble at my desk. I...

I have a Samsung Galaxy S24+ (Android 14) and two DACs (MEIZU Hifi Pro and MOONDROP Dawn Pro) and I just picked up the Hifiman Sundara headphones. I can play local files with USB Audio Player Pro and it works fine with the phone-DAC-headphone setup. However, if I want to stream files over my...

I love my DT 1990 Pro at home. But they are openback, so a big nono in my work, don't want to annoy other with my jazz. Any bright closed back headphones that you know about that are available in EU around 500 eur (upper limit)? I though about getting DT 1770 Pro, if nothing comes around to at...

Recently I've been hearing popping/clicking noises from music and other audio. I at first thought it was an issue with my headphones, so I tried others, but it stayed the same. I thought the issue was my DAC so I used my phone, same issue. I thought it might be a coincidental issue with multiple...

I have been using the Shure SRH840A's for a hell of a long time. I love them and know them well. But with the investment of a new headphone amp and soon a DAC, I'd like to invest in a great pair of cans that can be powered! I'd appreciate any recommendations.

I'm a long-time user of all kinds of audio technology, including things that produce and process sound. For work, I wear noise-canceling headphones or IEMs, to help me be less distracted by ambient noise (I don't do audio these days anymore). That means I wear these devices all day, every...

I’m experimenting with building over-ear headphones (3D printed) and wondering what’s the typical way to attach the driver to the baffle. Let’s say it’s a 50mm driver. I could print a 50mm ring and wedge the driver in. Then put some hot glue around the edge. Or I could print a 54mm ring...
