    DAC and audio interface

    Thanks for the recommendation. I also own a pair of beyerdynamic studio headphones and my dads Sony MDRs were actually the first headphones I started making music with. Fostex th900 are also “reference” headphones although they do have a slight v shape to their sound but when mixing I like to...

    DAC and audio interface

    Ok, thanks, the motu m4 just arrived today and it did enhance the overall sound performance. I’m about 12 o clock on the volume dial to get it at the perfect volume. I’m still kind of curious what a tube amp would do to the overall sound but I feel like there’s a good chance It would just be a...

    Software vs hardware sound differences

    Hi I have more than a basic understanding of how EQ works inside of the DAW. I said I don't know the exact frequency bands that are being adjusted in the eq in the sp404 since it just says low mid and high. I have used many different software EQs, the stock eq in my daw, many different WAVES...

    Interesting,thanks for the input. Could it possibly be the fact that when I notice this is when I’m plugging the headphones directly into the headphone jack on the sp-404 vs plugging the headphones into the computers audio interface. As you said I need to test it. Im not sure what exact...

I notice a HUGE difference in boosting...

    DAC and audio interface

    Thanks for the reply, I think I might just be better off getting an audio interface like the motu m4 which I’ve heard has a good built in DAC, also I just realized my headphones (fostex th900 mk2) are 25 ohms and not 32. So now my main concern is, will I benefit at all from a headphone amp. I’m...

    DAC and audio interface

    Hi I’m new to the forum and decided to create an account because i’m having a lot of confusion on how to connect my 32 ohm headphones to my computer via audio interface. My audio interface is very cheap (m Audio fast track pro) and I assume has a low quality DAC built in. I’m looking to buy a...
