I have to say Macbook Pro => Audirvana Plus 3 => IFI Micro IDSD BL => Focal Clear is a killer combo. It'll be my portable setup away from home during christmas.

The Clears are wonderful. The burnin phase really made a huge difference. Regardless what people think during the first listen, keep them a week at least before making a decision. I've mainly used them with Mcintosh MHA100 and it's a very good pairing. Although they sound incredible even on my...

I hope the IFI IDSD Micro BL will be a good match also.

Hello folks Excuse my english it's my second language. Until now i've only been a bystander in this thread. I received a pair of Focal Clears this Friday. Apparently i bought the last pair in Sweden :) I've had a couple of headphones before including: Sennheiser HD600, Sennheiser HD800...

Thanks for the reply! I'm going to Stockholm in a couple of weeks to hear the amps(atleast The Taurus and HDVA600). It's gonna be really awesome. I'm just running the HD800's with my Beyerdynamic A1 amp right now that amp is pretty good for my beyerdynamic t1's but i suspect the HD800's will...

I'm starting a new thread for this because it's a very specific question. I'm looking for a amp for my Sennheiser HD800's and i narrowed it down to the following amps: Auralic Taurus mk2, Sennheiser HDVA600 and Burson Conductor. Any info how these amps perform with the Sennheiser HD800äswolude...

There aren't alot of stores selling tubeamps in Sweden i don't want to import some amp that i won't be able to listen to before buying. So therefore i'm primarily interrested in: Auralic Taurus mk2 and Sennheiser HDVA600 and Burson Audio Conductor. Plus i like bright sound, i prefer solid state...

I 'll borrow this thread... I'm searching for an amp for my Sennheiser HD800 in Sweden where i live it seems like i have the following options:   Auralic Taurus mk2 Sennheiser HDVA600 Burson Conductor or Soloist   I already have a pretty good dac the Hegel HD20 so i'm primarily looking for...

Up to 200 hours ive heard but they sound pretty nice out of the box too

So i bought the t1 about a month ago and a musical fidelity m1 hpa amp. But i was very unlucky the amp died after about 20 hours. And i sent it back and got a new one and it died in the same way. Must 've been from a faulty batch or something then i decided to get a beyerdynamic a1 amp instead...

Thx for the advice! Although i use a pretty long optical cable now (5 meters) perhaps it's worth atleast getting a shorter cable? By the way i really dig this forum seems to have alot of active users.

Hi! I recently bought my first setup. Beyerdynamic t1, Musical Fidelity M1 hpa , Hegel hd20 and a supra rca cable. Since i live in a rather small town i wasn't able to listen to the gear before i bought it... But the sound feels incredible and i'm still in the breaking in phase. Now the...
