    Looking for a complement to my Denon D2000

    Yes, open headphones would be perfectly fine. I just use them at home.

    Looking for a complement to my Denon D2000

    Hi all,   My current setup:   Denon D2000 Headroom Micro DAC Headroom Micro Amp   I really like my Denon but I find them a bit fatiguing and I would like to complement them with another headphone, something perhaps with a different sound signature. I listen to electronic, dance, rock...

    SONY NWZ-A10 Series

    Really enjoying my A17 with my Klipsch S4. I wonder though, would a better IEM make a big difference in sound quality? Not really interested in having a portable dac/amp, I like the simplicity of just dap + iems.

    Audio-gd C2: anyone have one yet?

    As the title states, are there any impressions on the Audio-gd C2 yet? My birthday is in a month and I was thinking about picking up one of these. I intend to use it with a Denon D2000 and a HeadRoom Micro DAC. It would be my first real amp (using a PA2V2 right now). I know the C2-C is...

    Amp to match D2000/Micro DAC

    Hi all, Recently got my first good pair of headphones (Denon D2000) and my first DAC (Headroom Micro DAC). Just looking for opinions on a good first amp! My budget is $200-$300. I prefer buying used to save $$, but I know that's not always an option. I listen to a lot of different...

    Portable amp for Grado SR80i

    I bought a PA2V2 a couple years back, to go with my SR-80. At first it didn't seem to really do much, but I realize now that is because I was using a crappy MP3 player with it. Recently I pulled it out of my desk and hooked it up to a newer Sony Walkman MP3 player, and the difference in sound...

    Open headphones with good bass?

    I've heard the Denon D2000 has good bass... or at least I hope so, as I have one in the mail. Edit: Oh sorry I missed the "open" in the title.

    DAC recommendation

    Hi punkaroo. Thanks for the suggestions. I checked out the Music Streamer--looks pretty nice, but I think I'd prefer one with dedicated power. About the iBasso--sure looks nice, but I'd really prefer a separate device that just acts as a DAC (to avoid spending money on a redundant feature...

    DAC recommendation

    Hi all, I currently have the Grado SR-80, with a Denon D2000 in the mail. I also have a PA2V2 by Gary. I'm looking for my first DAC. It will primarily be used with the D2000s at home with my computer. My budget is between $100 and $300. I'm not sure if it's better to just get a cheap DAC...

    Do You Have A Question having something to do with headphones?

    I was wondering why there are different models of the same headphone with different impedances. How does it change the sound? Such as comparing a 250ohm headphone to a 600ohm one. Thanks.
