Posted May 21, 2016 I trudge along with a Logitech Z906 and a Sennheiser HD558. No amps, because sound quality is good enough for me. I have a blog!

At the moment I have a Asus DGX paired with Logitech z506, sound like crap compared to my Sennheiser 363D and Momentums but gets the job done for the most part. I do have my mothers old (15 or so years) but high end HiFi gear, just need a DAC to get that hooked up for music. Once I have the DAC I plan on getting a pair of Audioengine 5+ speakers. -アパゾ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard good things about the AKM AK4490 DAC used in the Bifrost, my HA-1 and Gustard X12 use the Sabre ESS9018 chip.....not sure what the hell chip is used in my Fostex HP-A4 though. How're you liking the HEX thus far? So loving my HEK, it's now my go to can for music, games and movies. The Bifrost is a dedicated DAC, so what are using as amp for now? Not a member SBAF, though I do intend to join membership there when I feel like doing the SuperDupont mod which I'd actually heard of over at HF (if you're savvy enough to separate bullshit/hearsay/over-enthusiasm and just use your common sense, HF can be a place to get some useful info).

Posted May 24, 2016 My setup is really dodgey but here we go 2 Computers, one is the cluster in my sig while the other is an upgraded version of the unbalanced one in my sig. Unbalanced is connected to audio gear while cluster is connected to the car equipment and my TV -M-Audio Fast Track DAC/Recording card -2x Beringher Xenyx 802 mixers (one as input to DAC and one as output from DAC) -2x BM800 XLR microphones (black and gold) with gold plated shock mounts and black stands -A set of Tannoy R5A's (connected to output mixer) -Clarion 200W amp -US-AUDIO 15' subwoofer -Set of custom built bookshelf speakers -Tomson classic record player -Pioneer SG530 EQ - ASST guitars*5 -Roland electric drum kit -ASST trumpets*4 (incl custom made Dizzy Gillespie style one) -Yamaha 80's keyboard (love the sound) -ATH M50X's (for music listening) -Boss 4500 1200W AMP -Kenwood 3way 6*9 + infinity kappa 6" drivers custom speakers -ASST 20+ headphones/earphones Probably a lot more stuff I forgot, not at home ATM, will update with model numbers when I get there Sloth's the name, audio gear is the game I'll do my best to lend a hand to anyone with audio questions, studio gear and value for money are my primary focus.

Love the HEX! Easily easily beat out all of my old cans (T1, HD800, LCD 2.2) It's really taken a toll on my sleeping habits! For right now I'm not using the Bitfrost at all, since I actually don't have a single amp to use it with. Not in a big rush though, as my onboard audio sounded better than the O2/ODAC (so the upgrade won't be earth shattering or anything) and yeah, I've been over at HF for way longer than SBAF.

It must suck to have to switch cans all the time not to mention it costs extra moniezy I mainly use my HE 560, but for rock and games I use my k612, the rest are for on the go use or something I just use once in a while, the money is not the worst part, the worst part is how much space they take up, my room is pretty small 8.4m2 so it is pretty cramped with a bed, table and all my headphones.

Posted May 24, 2016 I do have yet another audio rig, my FX8350 rig which I'd simply forgotten to mention earlier : Gustard X12 + H10 stack Nakamichi HM200FD micro system (connected to my X12 via RCA interconnect cable Reason why I'd gotten the Nakamichi set was mostly due to the speakers. They're heavy (each is about 5kg) and hit harder than my Rokit5, plus for ~152USD (converted from local $) I really can't complain. In addition to the mentioned DAC's, I'd also gotten a NuForce uDAC3 which I intend to use on my C2Q X9650 rig.....

Posted May 24, 2016 My setup isn't really anything setup, and some would probably dislike me for using a sound card. Corsair SP2500 Audio Technica ATH-AD2000x both paired with a Xonar STX. Oh, and a Samson Go microphone. And I'm waiting for a pair of Fostex TH-X00 Purpleheart that I bought from Massdrop. ETA is August for those :c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
