Just get a Takstar Pro 80 or Takstar Hi 2050.

Have you tried using Audacity or Adobe Audition? Based on my experience, my SM7B has been doing bad on Windows 10 and it gets alot of this sharp buzzing noise which neither Adobe Audition nor Audacity can remove in post processing. Mind you, it works like normal on Windows 8.1 and my Hackintosh. I have updated my bios though.

Just to add up: Yes, it will fit onto any mic boom arm that has the standard connection... which pretty much every boom arm or mic stand in existence has since its an industry standard and no one likes proprietary stuff very much from the consumer's end.

390X is arguably the cheap solution if you can't find a 290X.

Alright, thank you

Okay, just to be sure if I understood this correctly. So, I plug the LSR305's to the Magni's RCA out via TRS to RCA and I can control my volume from there, right?

Yeah, I think the Schiit Stack would be a better deal. I guess I should scratch out the Element. A bit off-topic. I'm planning to downgrade my speakers since I'm moving soon to a smaller place. If I get the LSR305's, do I just plug them straight to my PC or a DAC? I have never owned active speakers and they seem foreign to me.

I have checked the specs and they seem apart. But I think specs are only one of the first chapters of the story.

I wanna ask if anyone has had any experience with this amp and DAC combo. https://www.jdslabs.com/products/151/the-element/ I am not too sure if it really is based off of the O2, even if it says in their blog, since I am not too keen on having a manufacturer say it straight from them when I haven't read or heard of actual experience with it from anyone other than the company. I like the looks and I don't mind the extra compared to the O2 since it looks more ergonomic. I intend to replace my O2 with the Element because I have some regrets with the O2 such as not buying the one with rear-power, RCA connections, the DAC built-in to it, and the oh so rather fragile 3.5mm connection. Plus, there's been some user damage after trying to repair it on my own. Hope to hear from you guys.

I guess I'll take back what I said about optical/toslink then...

Or that, too. -Edit- I have no experience with any audio that uses HDMI connection. I don't count the speakers on my monitor via HDMI.

Toslink/Optical Out if you like absolute cleanliness.

Oh well, fair enough. Its just that I've come across people who'd commission me into building their rig, like, hand me their parts, if not have a parts list or a budget, and most of the time, these guys have a fixed budget but won't let go of having a 980ti or a Titan X in their requests. So, yeah... last thing I want to do is try to educate them on what they should be getting when they pretty much have their heart set on a 980 ti, Titan X, or a Fury X, so I'd normally recommend an i5 or an 8350. But oh well... I must be getting used to requests with certain fixed budgets and certain demands that clients won't ever let go of. Plus, I have encountered lots of builders in LAN parties that like having "odd" setups like an i3 with a 970 and what not. Doesn't seem as bad as what alot of people would say, but I'd rather have the most frames as possible.

I wonder what would get people to stop recommending products like the M50X. Maybe if Justin Beiber used one, that'd help.

Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, or TokuP could use KRK speakers. But if measurements and perceived sound translates to ass, then its ass, no matter how good the music was mastered. The music can be mastered, mixed, etc... to the best that it can. But if it sounds like ass through the same speakers they use, then its ass. Might as well get another pair of speakers that actually perform as advertised or beyond that. And no, I don't like using products that suck when there are products for slightly more or less money that perform much better based on measurements and perceived sound.
