Hi, I like to listen to the recordings of natural sounds, such as the sounds of a forest, rain, rivers etc.., so I really need your help to give an advice about a set of device that gives me the sound that is the most close to the original sound of the recording. I don't want anything else to...

Hello guys, beginner hifi enthusiast here, looking for a budget pair of floorstanding speakers that sound nice and measure okay. I primarily listen to Avantgarde / Post Metal as well as a little bit of classic hard rock. A lot of the stuff is very dynamic, so I'm after a high sensitivity speaker...

Hello guys, I recently bought a new dell pc (the only way i could get my hands on the new rtx cards) and it has no optical in. Now I do have a topping e30/l30 stack. I would like to run the external amp and dac with optical out from the soundcard. I was wondering if i bought an external...

Hello A.C.R. I am fairly new in the audiophile world and I have doubts even after reaserching a lot. I would appreciate the help from more knowledgeable people about the subjct. Currently I have my eyes on KZ ZS10 Pro. For now my main device to use the IEM will be the OnePlus 8T. Therefore, I...

be indulgent, it's my first thread: So many different ways and logics Alphabetical Style Date of recording and maybe more exotic ways. Really interested to discover alternatives. Me ? a bit of everything; I have a special section for the rock bands of the seventies and annexed their leaders...

Hi, I'd like to improve my listening and communication experience. Current setup consists of Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ mic and Sennheiser HD 660 S (which replaced my old Audio-Technica ATH-W1000 headphones I'm tired listening to after many years). These are connected to a computer, and I always...

Hi all, I’d like to ask for advice on a decent DAC + Amp setup for a new hifi station I am planning on building that is somewhat future proof for the cans I am looking to buy down the line. TL;DR: I have 1000EUR to spend on a DAC and AMP (if combo, it needs preamp out like maybe the RME ADI-2)...

Hey all! I am currently running my Sennheiser HD560s off of the schiit magni and modi stack. All settings in windows are on default. Here's the issue. All was good and was enjoying my music and out of nowhere I began having clipping/distortion issues left and right when listening to spotify and...

Hey! I've currently spent the past week trying to figure out what to replace my astro a50's gen 1 with, the problem is i have no audio experience so i have no idea what things sound like other the my astros that i used for 9 years. I'll be using these headphones at home my environment is an...

I feel like the modi/magni are too smooth so i will keep it for my HD 650. But for the DT-1990 can you guys give me a recommendation? Budget wise i am looking at 300 euro. I am also considering the E30 + L30 but i am scarred they will sound the same as the modi/magni 3.

As it's my 1st post, I'd like to say hello :cool: Now, the topic - I'm looking at something to replace my PC-audio ALC-1220 soundard (MSI X470 M7) becuase... I'm annyoed by some hissing in my headphones. And somehow I think these should be amped better because when I had Yamaha A520, headphones...

Hi guys, new to ASR. And also new to desktop Hi-Fi, I've been playing around with IEMs and Portable DAP/ DAC & AMP for 7 years. Just trying to get a touch on over-ear headphones and serious desktop DAC & AMPs. Recently I upgraded to DT1990pro from DT880 250Ohm, and plan to buy an AMP for it...

Hello, First, I apologize if I'm not posting in the right place, I'm new here (and to this audio world) as can attest my freshly created account. I'm looking for my first decent headphones, mainly for my PC. Open back because it seems to be the best if there's no need for complete isolation...

Discussion: I bought a Lyr 2 because I was auditioning a ton of stuff at home and I wanted something I was sure would power anything I caught hold of. I've basically never heard any other upstream gear besides a couple other Schiit amps. I was always skeptical of audiophile reviews, despite...

Hi, I'm in analysis paralysis; each new pair of speakers I listen to I fall in love with.... I have a room that is 14x17 with an open plan kitchen off to the side: I'm the only person who will use this space - my guess is 40% music / 30% sport/films / 30% games Based on reviews and other...
