-- What is your PC music setup? (Pics optional) --

[Akagi]

I use itunes or Foobar2000 (for my FLAC files) and I run it through:

Asus Xonar DS
v
3.5mm - RCA interconnect
v
Sony TA-D505 EQ/Amplifier
v
Wharfedale Diamond 9.2's

Or for headphone listening:

Asus Xonar DS

3.5mm - RCA interconnect
v
Sony TA-D505 EQ/Amplifier
v
3.5mm - 3.5mm interconnect
v
Koss Pro DJ100's/Sony XB500's

The sound card (too lazy to take the side off, but you all know what a soundcard looks like )

The Hi-Fi and speakers

The amplifier and EQ (at the bottom)

My Pro DJ100's

 

[Phal]

Everything is played from Foobar - some old 128k stuff but mostly 320 or Flac which goes to >

Titanium HD which goes to either

my old set of Razer Mako 2.1 speakers or...

To my Beyerdynamic A1 headphone amp before my Beyerdynamic T1 headphones

 

[sHo0sH]

Onboard audio - Amarra/iTunes - Matrix M-Stage - Denon D2000/HD650.

Trying to work out what DAC to buy

[james.miller]

GenEXXA Pro x7's on my desk and a pair of hd650's. amps and dac are a work in progress lol

 

[sadbuttrue]

Onkyo SE-90 Sound Card --> Marantz PM7003 Amplifier --> Wharfedale 10.1 Speakers + Sennheiser HD595 headphones

Produces a lovely warm sound. I use foobar with the SpitFish plugin to remove sibilance for music.

Ahhh, the setup i want, but cannot afford very nice

 

[Kei]

Winamp (uncompressed WAV, FLAC or ALAC 16 bit 44.1KHz) and I run it through:

Asus Xonar Essence ST Deluxe (With 2x AD826 and 1x LM4562 Opamps)
via
2x 75Ω BNC terminated coax (MVC 333C) with RCA adaptors
via
Luxman L-220 Integrated Amplifier (fully upgraded with metal film resistors, ultra fast recovery rectifiers, styrol/PP film capacitors, Nichicon MUSE/Mundorf electrolytic capacitors and readjusted bias current)
via
Kef Chorale Speakers

Or for headphone listening:

Asus Xonar Essence ST Deluxe Direct or

via
2x 75Ω BNC terminated coax (MVC 333C) with RCA adaptors
via
Luxman L-220 Integrated Amplifier
via
Sennheiser HD480/480 II/AKG K601/K240/K60

Vinyl Transfers come back through the Luxman via the built in phono-stage and down a home made RCA to 6.3mm Jack cable into the Line in on the Xonar. As it stands, I don't actually use the HDAV H6 card at all atm.

Not as £££ worthy as some above I guess but I can see myself stickign with this setup for many many years, or until something fails

Xonar STX (with upgraded OpAmps) sitting above a toasty GTX570

Tech-Link WiresCR interconnect:

NAD C325Bee amp:

(yeah the sticker is from RS )

QED Airloc silver anniversary cables:

(I got them on special offer via an eBay seller years ago, no way I'd buy such cables at their suggested price)

Tannoy Mercury V4:

HD595, "unlocked" HD555 behind:

VSonic GR07 MkII:

 

[Kosmiche]

Creative Titanium HD + Harman Kardon Soundsticks III speakers + Tritton AX Pro headset.

Nice and simples.

 

[Akagi]

Some awesome setup's here I am pretty damn jealous
I would splash out, but maybe not just yet... Since I am a student, it would mean I have £00.00 in my bank account afterwards

 

[Jordeh]

I have the opposite problem. I have they money but can't decide on what to get. I need an entire new audio setup.

£30 O_o

What are they? never seen such connectors.

 

[Philtor]

Just using a Xonar D1 with Creative Gigaworks T20's. Going to update soon to a dedicated Amp and some bookshelf speakers mind.

Supposedly keeps air out or something, hence the name for the plugs, airloc

They feel like heavier banana plugs though, look cool I guess

 

[Razor-BladE]

Optical out > FiiO E17 > Beyerdynamic DT770 250 Ohms

Simples.
Also have some cheap Hercules speakers. I did have Cambridge Audio A5 and Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 speakers but no room for them atm

I never liked Cambridge Audio stuff really :/ I've heard nothing but bad things about them and they don't seem to chuck out many watts, but your headphone setup is brilliant
