something loose inside headphones
It only happens when the bass hits deeply and only in the right cup but it sounds like something is loose inside the cup. The sound isn't affected at all so I don't think the cup isn't broken. Anyways, would anyone recommend opening up the dt-770s or should I just live with it?- joesteezy

bithead + 770s
I finally made myself spend way too much on headphones. I bought a Total Bithead and a set of Beyer dt770's off eBay, I got pretty good prices on both. I think I am getting good performance out of both, but is there anything else I can do to squeeze out some extra sonic love, hidden settings or...- joesteezy

New Stuff
Finally pulled the trigger on a set of Beyer DT770-80s and a Headroom Total Bithead. I plan to upgrade the dac/amp as soon as I can get funds, but I got it for a good price off ebay and I couldnt resist. Does anyone have this combo? How does it sound? Also, anyone know anything about different...- joesteezy

a900 vs k271
I'm thinking about buying either the a900 or the k271. I'm leaning slightly towards the a900, due to the lack of bass in the k271. I'm no basshead but Id rather have more than less. Anyone have reviews on either of these? pros/cons?- joesteezy

DAC or soundcard?
Im slightly confused about what a DAC does. I get that it gives the amp a clean signal, no amping before it gets to the good amp. But if i have a laptop with onboard sound and I get a usb dac/amp combo will my soundcard have any effect on it? from my understanding the dac acts as a soundcard...- joesteezy

Need help, first buys
Cool, I like that O1 amp. Its still sold out but Ill see if I can find one used. It looks like the best option for ~$100. DAC question: Like I said I only have a headphone jack, so I need a DAC. First option is the Headphonia DAC Cable for $40. Its probably not the highest quality but it...- joesteezy

Thanks, I think I know what I need now. I thought I was spending a lot on headphones, didn't think I would have to spend that much on an amp as well. I like that most of the stuff is quality and seems like it will last for a few years.- joesteezy

Need help, first buys
I've finally decided to spend way too much money on some headphones. I did some research and I think I am going to buy a pair of dt770's. When I first went to upgrade I was considering a pair of Sennheiser's but I think the dt770 is a better choice, mainly because of the bass as I listen to...- joesteezy
