I know there have been at least two other threads on this. But my concern is more specific. It's about the bass. I found the Sennheiser HD 598 out of a Peachtree amp, out of my Matrix Mstage amp etc. and I found it bass shy, though it was less bass shy put of the Matrix Mstage amp. I am...

I have a Matrix M stage HPA 2 connected to an amplifier and that to speakers. What is the best volume setting for a Matrix HPA 2 USB DAC when using with RCA output. Have no idea about this. Trying different volume levels.

I just bought the soundmagic hp100 based on recommendations from the honored members here on head fi. My thanks to them. I really like it...even as it sounds out of my iphone. Need to pair it with a good and cheap USB DAC/headphone amp and bypass the bad sound card on my desktop. The options I...
