Critique my setup. What would you upgrade next?
Thanks, yeah another big part of my liking these headphones is the comfort factor, as well. The Sennheiser HD-600s clamped a bit too much on my oversized noggin. I decided to give the Gustard H10 a go, it'll probably be a week or 2 before it arrives. And like you said, I do plan to play...- plainbagel

How much difference would the Gustard H10 amp make? The Asgard 2 has volume to spare, I guess you mean in terms of sound quality it's worth the purchase?- plainbagel

Thanks for the input, guys. Getting the HE-400I has definitely opened my eyes that there's a lot to this hobby lol- plainbagel

PC -> Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 (w/op-amp upgrades) -> Schiit Asgard 2 -> Hifiman HE400i. Note: I'm thinking about plunging for an LCD-2; I like the HE400i's so much it's only got me thinking how to improve lol. But my concern would be then the rest of my setup may fall short to deliver...- plainbagel

Newbie questions about my setup
Ok thanks for the input. Will likely stay with what I have. I did add the WASABI (spelling?) add-on to Foobar2000. Also got Grado 225s with L-cush, and realized man these are really mediocre compared to the HD-600s lol.- plainbagel

Thanks for the input, I heard the stock cable was the weak part of these headphones and didn't really consider using it- plainbagel

Review by 'plainbagel' on item 'Sennheiser RS 180 Wireless headphones with docking station'
Ok, well I listed a whole bunch of pros/cons up there, so here are the other things I will mention: 1. I got these on newegg for $220. I ended up using them virtually for everything. One gripe I suppose is if the volume of what you're listening to is low, maxing the volume will only do so...- plainbagel

Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 (Dedicated DAC) - Review, FAQ & Info Thread
This was my first DAC purchase as I attempted to gain interest in higher end audio/headset equipment. I don't really have much to compare it to. I will say the support at Maverick audio was great. The DAC is sleek looking and easy to use. Had I a bit more skill with a soldering iron I'd...- plainbagel

Objective2 Mini-Review and Discussion
This was my first headphone amp purchase, for use with HD-600s. The amp is very easy to use and really requires no thought/effort. My only complaint is to make the the power and increased feedback buttons more distinguishable, e.g. different colors or something.- plainbagel

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
This was my first audiophile grade headset. I used it with an O2 amp and Maverick audio Tubemagic D2 DAC, connected via USB. I thoroughly enjoyed the sound, everything from classical to hard rock. My only beef with it is the canare cable is very thick and annoying, so I end up using my...- plainbagel

DAC and amp recommendation desired
Quote: I noticed the TubeMagic D2 has an option for an opamp upgrade. Is that worth it, if I consider this option? http://mav-audio.com/store/ Thanks- plainbagel
