So I haven't been on this forum for quite a while, because I have been happy with my setup for a few years now. The setup I have been using for a long time: Apogee Mini-DAC -> Meier Corda Cantate -> Senn HD650. Now, the HD650s still function great and I have been extremely pleased with them...

Beyerdynamic Manufaktur DT880/600 vs Headroom stock DT880/600?    Does the Manufaktur sound better than the stock? The Manufaktur site charges an extra $100 WITHOUT any customization done yet. Why, is it because of the sound?

Hi guys,   I recently became interested in appreciating music as opposed to listening to my Ipod out of the default Apple earbuds.  I've done some reading but still have lots to learn, so please bear with me and pardon my silly questions.   I started out with the AT M-50s after reading...

Ok fellas, I know these cards wont bring the best of these DT880's but, I am limited by $. I have tried the Xonar DX (stilling in my htpc) and it sounds great with the DT880;s. My question is will the Xonar DG be a better choice to the DX? I have about $50-60 to spend.   I know the DG has a...

Firstly, I am somewhat of an audiophile neophyte, but trying my hardest everyday to learn as much as possible.   Now, I'd like to upgrade my DAC and AMP. I'm not sure if I should go with a DAC/AMP combo like the Yulong D100 or go for something I really want like a dedicated AMP and dedicated...

Hi all, I've recently purchased the DT880/600 from Amazon but i was upset to see that it had the same problem the DT770/32 i purchased not long ago from B&H. This is the Left side of the headphone and plastic piece that is holding the earcups. As you can see, there is clearly a gap. This is...

Am looking at getting a new set of cans, I hear good things about the Beyerdynamics, and here's my situation:   -Will be used mostly for gaming, but I don't care about the uber-3d positioning features that tend to make the sound quality garbage for the most part.  I'm not out to win gaming...

I've been parsing a ton of reviews and boards for information on the best way to go with these headphones / amps and I'm still not sure what the best option is.   I'm looking to go for either the DT880's, the HD600 or HD650s. I was really looking into the AKG k701s, but numerous reviews...

I was just wondering what people's opinions are were of the DT880 600ohm re-cabled with a balanced interconnection. I am also curious as to who did the best job for the price with re-cabling since I currently only know of Zombie_X and HeadRoom re-cabling the DT880's with HeadRoom being a bit...
