Hello, I'm picking a pair of headphones at a reasonable price and a simple DAC-AMP for it. I prefer a dark, warm sound signature, that I can listen to all day long. Bright or treble heavy headphones gave me a headache, that's why I returned those I tried. I mostly play/watch videos or series...

Hey all, This is my first post on the forum so please correct me if I'm not following standard protocol or posting in the wrong place. When I was younger, my dad helped me pick out a Rega turntable, Sonos Connect, Rega Brio, and Neat Iota speakers for my bedroom. I've had that setup ever...

Hi everyone, I had an Asus Essence STX audio card that I'd liked, but when I changed my computer for a new one with Win11, the driver kept crashing and was globally not pleasant to use. I decided to go with a Schiit Stack to replace it. I have a no non-sense attitude regarding audiophile gears...

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...

-=PREVIOUS HEADPHONE=- I've been using the DT990 for quite a few years now but it's time to upgrade as the right driver stopped working. The main issues I had with that headphone were: 1) Cheap plastic hinges that would break really easy ( had to replace them twice ) 2) Fatiguing audio to the...

I'm looking for a pair of over the ear closed back headphones under $1000. I binge watch a lot of movies and series and sometimes listen to music. The source is my PC motherboard's integrated audio but I plan on replacing it with a DAC/Amp. The budget of $1000 is only for the headphones. I...

I like how many in this forum take a scientific view toward speaker assessment. I’ve been reading a ton but it’s hard to get to a bottom line based on my specific circumstances, hence this post. What top few speaker brands/models would you recommend based on the following requirements? -Music...

Hello! I have Focal Shape Twins with Burson Composer Dac\Preamp for my desktop setup for music, gaming and movies. So wanted to ask, what would be the logical upgrade for active near field speakers\monitors for the same application. Focal Trio6 BE? Focal Trio11 BE? Or they are better for studio...

I noticed that Amirm doesn't provide a well measured ANC quality graphic or any data, maybe he is not very interested with this feature. But I really need a headphone with really good noice cancellation without considering sound quality (I work in a very noisy office environment). So I wanted...
