My O2 sounds so much better with my PS500e headphones when I use Lithium Ion batteries in it.  I'm sure it's an impedance thang.   Comments?   Anyone know how to modify this beiatch to charge lithium instead of old ****ty nm-hydride batteries.   If you do please share.  I know I can't...

Hi.   I just bought AKG Q701's. Well they haven't arrived yet but they should in next week.    I want to enjoy them in full power. I know I need at least a headphone amp. I've read these forums and found that the EHP-02 has cheap price but great value. I'm unsure is amp enough or do I...

TouchMyApps review is live.   In the last week, I've had the pleasure of listening to the new Fischer Audio DBA-02 MKII, and along with them, a combo I feel really matches, the GoVibe Vest. From what I understand, the name comes from old view or TW cameras. Who knows.   What I do know is...

Hey everyone, i've been thinking about getting the 650s, but i'm not sure what amp i should use. I have the e17 right now, and from what i've read, it has nowhere enough power to drive them. What would be the best budget amp with the best price/performance. I'm currently looking at the schiit...

Hey, so I've repriotized from my previous thread (Good gaming headphones) amd figured that I have more time for listening to classical music on my Ipod than gaming. So I've been looking at these headphones: 1. FA-003(USD165) 2. Q701(USD300~) 3. HE-300(USD200~ 4. DT880 Pro 600/Premium...

So my first ever purchases were: Sennheiser HD 650 Bottlehead Crack with Speedball upgrade Epiphany O2DAC/Amp combo   Since the headphones arrived earliest, I plugged me straight into my macbook pro and fired up my lossless tracks. I must say im not very overwhelmed and understandably...

Hello everyone!   I'm wondering what the best headphones would be in the price range of $300-400 for Music-JPop, Games, Movies. I recently got my hands on a Razer Tiamat 7.1, but I'm not really satisfied with what comes out of it. I mean, in games its pretty nice, but everything else is...

As I was searching for a good amp/ dac, I decided to save myself the trouble of picking between numerous options and get an O2 amp/ dac.    Now I have to choose between JDS Lab variant and the EHP variant. I can only see the rear view of the former...

I'm looking for something neutral that can be used for mixing to just listening to music. Budget is around $500. I want something that is truly powerful enough for 600 ohm Beyers. I will be using my Apogee Duet as a source. I was considering the O2 amp, but didn't like the fact that it currently...

Watup dawgs? I'm looking for a desktop amp/ dac. I have a 50 ohms sennheiser HD 598. I'm a noob when it comes to the audiophile world and a couple days ago, I read an article by NwAvGuy regarding headphone amplifiers. From what I can understand, buying an amp such as the FiiO E9 (an output...

Multi-Portable Amp Thread   Amps mean different things to different people.  It depends on your use, music,  source, headphone, and ears to determine if an amp will make a difference, and if so how much.  As primarily an IEM guy, I have had mixed results with amps through the years depending...
