  My PS500s came today. WOW.
 
I'm only a month into my hifi journal and I've heard the sr60i, MS1i, sr225i and now the PS500.
 
I fell in love with my sr60is and have prefered them over both the Fidelio X1s and the Beyerdynamic dt880s. I've given in - I guess I'm a Gradophile for now.
 
As much as I've enjoyed my sr60is, I have to say - these PS500s are on a different level. Price-wise, I guess they should be, but I wasn't expecting the jump in quality. These headphone are much more serious to me. I'm blown away.
 
Based on my shortly exposure to hifi, I probably don't have any credibility to recommend these, but even so - I highly recommend these :) I'd love to talk specifics if anybody is curious.

Listening to the Vince Gill double album "These Days" thru my RS1i's. I guess they don't just give away Country Music Artist of the Year Awards.

does anyone know of a switch box that would allow me to connect the outputs of 2 or more headphone amps?  basically looking to be able to switch between amps while listening to compare amps/DACs without having to unplug my headphones.

Whatever you look for, Fiio has the answer:

I'm not sure if there is such a thing. It would be quite a unique product and all though it makes sense to us head-fiers who like to do comparisons, probably wouldn't make much sense outside of our hobby for manufacturers. You can buy speaker switch boxes with hp outs that could be used with customised cables. But it would be quite messy and probably detrimental to the sound imo.

Thanks!
I really love Fiio.  They really can't do wrong.  I wonder if they'll ever release a line of headphones.

No problem.

I think they will at some stage, because they produce pretty much everything an audiophile on a budget could wish for (even stands)....so its just a matter of time

There are a few different ones I wouldn't consider any of them audiophile lol but then again it's a simple machine and shouldn't cause any problems

If you wanted to make one it would be pretty simple although I doubt you could make one as cheap as the Chinese models all over ebay

There are plenty of RCA boxes with 3.5 out for DAC, although a few RCA-3.5 cables would save needing a separate box

Couldn't find a Fiio HS2, but i stumbled on to this.  http://www.dx.com/p/line5-a985-3-5mm-headphone-output-switcher-black-4-in-4-out-266636?tc=AUD&Utm_rid=26358413&utm_source=myshopping&utm_medium=pcs&utm_campaign=myshoppingau#.UzciuqKeYig
 
$26 and free shipping.  it should do the trick.
