Thanks Mmarketting, I'll go with the Fiio E07k.

Bump!!

Hello, I have got superlux HD668B headphone. It has sensitivity: 98 dB SPL, 1mW and Impedance: 56 Ohms. Previously I had paired this headphone with Asus Xonar DG soundcard. However, recently I upgraded my desktop motherboard which doesn't have pci slot so its no longer compatible. With sound...

Bump!!

Superlux hd668b has same sound signature as that of Beyerdynamic DT 990. However, Superlux hd668b cost 1/8 times that of Beyerdynamic DT 990. So is it worth to buy Beyerdynamic DT 990?

I recently bought xonar dg soundcard to power superlux hd668b. It seems to increase the volume sufficiently with in-built amp. However, I find treble on superlux hd668b a bit harsh. Would fiio e6 help to reduce that? Superlux hd668b has 2x56 ohms impedance.

I am looking for best headphones SQ wise please choose from the options available. Or if you have any better suggestions please mention it below. Thankyou !!

Here, its mentioned that it sounds better than $10000 pair of speakers. Is that true? http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/blog/2011/07/06/world-s-cheapest-speaker?page=0,1

<$20

Ya, I have got very good seal and find it comfortable as well.

I recently purchased a pair of soundmagic pl11 after reading some great reviews online. I already own philips headphones shp2500. I thought of comparing it with my Philips shp2500 which costs only slightly higher than pl11. I first burned pl11 for 150 hours using different frequencies like pink...

Is it worth spend extra for sennheiser? Are they similar? Are sennheiser's overpriced?

My budget is around $200. How should I distribute my budget so that I can include all three of them without compromising on any of them? eg: Headphones:Amp:Dac = 50:30:20.

  Quote:   Since, Xonar dg already comes with a built-in amp supporting upto 250ohms. Do I need to get an additional amp?

I am planning to buy sennheiser hd598. I am not an audiophile. But I like to hear music with decent audio quality? Is is worth to spend whole month hard earned money for a piece of headphone? My Max budget is $200. I have got asus xonar dg sound card installed on my pc. I listen to music 80% of...

I know its unfair to compare them since they belong to different categories. But still would like to know how would they compete with each other if only SQ is taken into account? 

I currently own Fischer Audio Silver Bullets. Which has low impedance of 18 ohms. I was planning to get Asus Xonar DG which has built in amp. But some member suggested to not get it bec of high impedance amp. I have a budget of $50. If not sound card then is there any cheap DAC without amp that...

Will Fiio e11 + xonar dg be a good combo? Since I have heard that inbuilt sound card have better dac compared to similarly priced usb dac. And I have also read few article where it was mentioned that amp are not at all necessary for IEM's with low impedance since they require less power to...

I am currently using onboard realtek sound card with Fischer audio silver bullets IEM. It has low impedence of 18 ohms so I guess it doesn't require much powerful amp to drive. Will amp like fiio e5, e7 improve the sound quality further? Audio volume is sufficient for me as I listen at max...

Quote: Do I need amp in reality or DAC is just enough for for low impedance iem?  

I am currently using onboard realtek sound card with Fischer audio silver bullets IEM. It has low impedence of 18 ohms so I guess it doesn't require much powerful amp to drive. But there is a lot of buzzing noise coming from onboard sound card. So I am looking for an upgrade. Budget is not an...
