I asked this question before, but I didn't get an answer.   Anyways, is it safe to use my Stax when the foam has rottened off? I mean is it possible for dust/hair go into the drivers and damage them?

The Essence has a nice dac and should be powerful enough for the HD650's.   For around the same price you could have also external amp/dac combo such as Schiit Magni+Modi or O2 + ODAC.   Some people might say that...

Why do you want the HDVD800?

Maybe it's a broken cable/jack?   Or music having instruments that are panned slightly to left/right.    Your headphones are both closed type, right? So maybe something to do with a bad seal..

  I like this setting with the DT48's.

I couldn't find specs about that creative card.. But before making final judgment about the DT770's, I would try driving them from a known low impedance source, to be sure it's not coloring the headphones sound.

Anyone has compared these to DT48's? They look very similar.

Hi, I just took the pads off my HD600's and I saw the black material around the driver is quite beaten up. Does this change the sound somehow? I read from another thread it doesn't change the sound but would like a confirmation before...
