question

Hi there! I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 560S for testing against my old trusty HD598's. So far I'm happy with them, but I'm noticing a bit of clipping here and there. This makes me wonder whether or not my AVR is capable of driving the headphones. The HD560S are rated at 120 ohms...

I have been using a Topping E50/L50-Stack for some time now, and I used the E50 (DAC) with a variable outout, so I could control the volume with the remote. I now set the E50 up in DAC-Mode (fixed output), and the Amp (L50) plays notably louder. I know this should not happening, but it...

Heyy first time poster. Recently got into headphones and got myself a “good” headphone the sennheiser hd 58x. They are great headphones I have never listen to music like this before. Like the music has expanded I can hear details in specific directions like forward and backwards which I think is...

Hello, I just got the Topping DX9 and have an issue. I only use USB input connect to my PC, but every time I turn this DAC on, it switches to other input automatically, it's so annoying. How can I save my input to USB so I don't have to switch the input manually every time I turn the DAC on?

Hi, I just bought my first serious headphones ever - a Hifiman Edition XS. The cans are second-hand and the seller replaced the original 3.5 cable with a 4.4 one. The price is surprisingly good, only 250$ including shipping. So I want to buy a balanced DAC/AMP that can fully exploit their...

Hello there everyone! Please bare with me here since I am new to this forum and I don't understand if I do something wrong (even this post I don't know for sure if it belongs here, sorry in advance if not). To jump to the issue: I recently bought a Topping E30 II Lite DAC to go with my Topping...

Greetings, I want headphones for enjoying, comfortable, pleasant, probably emotional, possibly fun listening. Budget up to about $300. As I heard the phrase, in a review of the DT 990 Pro from a sound engineer, where he compared them from the point of use of mixing/mastering, he said that these...

Hello wise people, does anyone know if the T0+ is coming to Germany? I'm looking for a small desktop speaker that can easily be connected to a subwoofer and the Vanatoos seem like the perfect candidate. The T0 is available in Germany but not the T0+ Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm searching to buy a USB interface that I can use for two purposes: 1) Play HD music from a Raspberry Pi through usb and connecting the (line) output to an amplifier. 2) Record music from my turntable (through my iFi Zen phono preamp, so it needs to have a line input) to a Raspberry...

Hello all, Lately, I've been enjoying my 600 ohm DT880's. I bought them primarily for gaming, but when EQ'd, they become the most well-rounded headphone I own. The sound fills out, while retaining strong detail and spatiality + all-day comfort. I watched some Beyer teardowns on youtube, and...

Hi everyone, I want to create an audio setup for TV/Movies in my living room. The speakers are 6ft away from the couch and will be directly in front of a wall. For music listening, I need the sound to reach 10ft behind the speakers (dining room). I have a budget of $500 CAD. Source: Movies/TV...

Hello all - Over the past few days I've consumed what seems to be an overload of data and find myself semi going in circles when it comes to an AVR. Primary use will be Home Theater with music being secondary. Planned devices connected: cable box, Apple TV, maybe 1 gaming console. Setup...

I've purchased IER-M9. Blind purchase, and the sound they output is "weird" on any source. Before that I've owned Moondrop Blessing 2, and they sounded much closer to my dynamic headphones. Now I'm wondering if something's wrong with the headphones I got (some form of internal damage), but i...

Hi Friends! I've been looking to upgrade my current audio interface to something that better suits my needs. I've basically narrowed it down to two interfaces: - RME Babyface FS Pro - Motu Ultralite Mk5 What really matters to me as a electronic music producer is clean audio with not to much...

So I have a pair of speakers that have the option to adjust the gain of high frequencies by one or two dB by putting the thingamabobs in a certain position (see image). Does anyone know what these are called? I seem to have lost mine and would like to buy a pair, that is if they are sold seperately.

Hi there, I have a couple of issues with my setup that I'd love a bit of clarification on. I recently picked up an Aiyima A07 amp, which I'm really happy with, the only downside is at extremely low volumes, where the dial is at around 8 o'clock, there is a slight channel imbalance. I can solve...

I'm on the look for a budget DAC for my PC to link to a set of iLoud Micro Monitors, headphone amplification is not necessary. I will be controlling audio via Windows volume slider. The Topping D10S seems like a good bet, and is around the top end of what I wanted to spend, although ideally...

Hi Everyone, I hope I am posting this in the correct section. I recently purchased a Topping A30 Pro to use as a headphone amplifier. When I was testing it yesterday, I had an RCA to 3.5mm cable plugged into the RCA inputs on the amp, and the 3.5mm end to my DAC. I wanted to test out a...

I’ve been looking at the DCA Aeon 2 Noire for a while now (I need a new closed-back, love how portable it is with the folding design, the ear shape and comfort seem great, I don’t love a huge amount of punch/slam, love detail), but I have some concerns about powering them. At my desk, it...

Hey, For about three months now, I was learning about Hi-Fi trying to know how you create a setup, and for the most part, I've got the grasp of it but there are some things that are still a total mess in my mind and I don't know how the hell you can choose without making an A-B testing which is...
