  Alien Syndrome 777

New to this site and audiophile culture as well. More into portable rigs right now. Love using this site for learning and reference. 

I followed you, lots of interesting albums. Going to explore further. My profile. https://bandcamp.com/shamantrip

Been a fan of Grimes for a bit now. Her new album has some great tracks, though I am more a fan of her older releases. All around great artist with a promising future. Nothing generic out of her! 

Here are a few hip hop tracks I listen to        Oh and this is another favorite

Subject to change, though these have been consistent for the longest.   1. Dead Can Dance 2. Moby 3. Menace Ruine

Cascade by William Basinski

First Setup   A bit updated. Fiio x1 and A3. please excuse my phone quality pictures

Great list, I agree with quite a few of your choices. My personally favorite of 2015 is How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful by Florence + the Machine

I bought the Fiio A3 amp for my X1 and Beyerdynamic dt 770's and I got the HifiMan HE 400i for my laptop setup. Very happy with everything! 

1. Hifiman HE-400i 2. Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro (80ohms) 3. ATH-M50x 4. Sennheiser Momentum On Ear

Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine. Love her vocals, especially on her new album. Also LIsa Gerrard (obviously) of Dead Can Dance

I ordered the HE400i on amazon, couldn't resist the sale price. I plan on using them with my Fiio X1 and A3 combo.    edit: Received the HE400i headphones and listening to them, the clarity is so nice. I tend to listen to a lot of Ambient music, so for tracks like DLP3 by William Basinski...
