- My Rig: PC (mobo asus maximus ext-z) if that help...
- Type of usage: Music, movie, gaming all kinda thing i can do actually
- File format: MP3, FLAC, WAVE
- Music genre: Rock, Metal <--priority to these. Bluess, Jazz somtimes.. RnB(prefer the full sound from guitar solo and tight bass or in your face kinda distortion)
- Budget: RM1500 + -
- Headphone/ earphone type: BeyerDynamic DT880/DT990 or Audio Technica A900 or Grado Prestige SR325i.. (prefer more comfortable headphone)
- Other requirements (if any): -
-Amp: Prefer preamp+dac as i cant have both of them due to budget constraint... my choice atm Hifiman EF2A or Uber Muzik TinyTube


Any Suggestion or question should be great...

is the mid kinda honky? or just pure mild neutral mid?

Hmmm how about Alessandro MS2 pair + TT . .. ~ or the TT would not bring any diff to this setup

Guys... Quick question here.. need help


My setup Desktop PC---> MediaMonkey--->TinyTube DAC---> Beyer DT880 (250)...

so the question if u hear poping/scrething/unknown krak sound, how do i adjust it? do i need to increase the ampdac drive/vol knob? or adjust the PC master vol or i need to adjust the player (mediamonkey) vol ?


PS: AmpDAC and Headphone kinda new less than 50hours usage...

1 more thing... do i need to use EQ? because some of the music seem too flat for me, etc heavy rock, but for other's slow song, it seems with the EQ setting for heavy fast rock song their treble seems to harsh~
