Hi all,   Got a question for you all.   Currently running Beyerdynamic DT990 pro 120ohm off my Rotel RA-04 connected to my computer through my Cambridge DAC Magic.   I have a Little Dot MK2 - not a fan of the sound that comes out of them so i stick to the Rotel.   Also have a...

Hello Head-Fi,   I'm looking to upgrade my headphone setup. Right now I've got a set of AKG K171 Mkii 'phones (which are 55 ohm) going straight from my computer. I use the FiiO E6 for my iPod. I am looking for a headphone amp (sub $300) to improve my setup. I've had my sights set on the...

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what might have caused my FA-003s to develop a slight staticy distortion in the left driver. I've been using the cans for over a year with no issue.   I recently purchased a new turntable setup, including turntable (Rega RP-1), phono pre-amp (Rolls...

I used to think the denon's did not need an amp until I got the Fiio 5. I know its not the best amp or even close but with it I notice a difference with the denons. They sound smoother and more satifying.    This is the part I don't get, denon's freq are 5~45k.. yet on this forum people seem...

Hello everybody, First of all, i am sorry about my bad English And my question is: What amp should I buy? Schiit Asgard($250) or DIY amp Dynalo($300)? It is the first time i buy an amplifier and really need an advice because i almost know nothing. I have just found a few popular entry amp...

Hi guys,   I am planning to buy a good audiophile headphones and have finalized to AKG K702 and Senn HD 598, both being in same price range. I have heard great reviews about both both have great sound quality overall, accuracy, soundstage and are super comfy. The difference I have heard and...

Hey guys. I'm new here. My name's Devin and I'm addicted to audio equipment all of a sudden. Well, I have been my whole life, more or less. Like all of you..   So I've got my first set of good headphones, the Sennheiser HD 600, which I got 6 weeks ago from razordogdeals on ebay. I was very...

The MkII is finally for sell on ebay and it's shaping up to be the next big thing in affordable tube amps. Post your impressions, reviews and tube-rolling experience here!

My audio source is a pretty cheap AV Receiver with some decent sounding speakers... The headphones i would like to drive are the Q701 and HE-500... Under $200 is definetily my preferred budget but if i have to go a little over i'd be willing to. Thanks.

Hi.  Just getting back into headphone audio and built out my current setup from old equipment I had sitting in my basement.  The system needs work.  I decided to start at the amp and work up.  From a sound perspective, I like my sources to give me every bit of the detail in the recording and...

Hi everyone,    I am looking for an amp for my DT880/600ohm. I've been searching forums for answer for days and even tried these amps out. But I still don't have a solid answer. Lyr has a clearer sound for orchestral works. The treble, mid and bass seem lined-up well. I don't hear...

So I finally found for the DAC+Amp I was looking for! It meets all my conditions: has optical in, large stereo jack out. Even more, it also has an AMP!   http://www.firestone-audio.eu/shop/products/allproductslisted/fubar4.php  ...

Hi,   During the boxing day, I got a pair of Dre Beats "Studio" for 229$. After few minutes of listening, I was not pleased with the sound, got a full refund today.   Decided to get a pair of DT 880 (not the newest one, I got a used pair for less then $200). They are the 250ohm version...

Also, can someone post a link to pictures that show how I open it to check gain settings and jumpers?   Thanks!    

Hi Headfi, I have purchased the sennheiser hd598 and also purchased the udac2 and see little difference in the sound quality. I fed the udac 2 into my desktop via usb(my desktop just uses realtek onboard audio) and I don't notice enough difference in the sound to justify the $100 that the udac 2...

My setup is:   Rega RP1 >> CA Azur 640P >> AMP >> BeyerDynamic DT770's.   I need a good amp for around $150-$400.    Would be nice if it supported more than just headphone and could do speakers too (as I want to get a good pair of speakers down the road).

Right now, I am powering my well-broken-in K702s with a Headroom MicroAmp. I'm pretty satisfied with the sound (but the bass extension seems limited) and the comfort of the headphones, which I use only for classical music. I've read some good reviews of the Burson amp. If you have heard the K702...

hey guys im looking for a desktop amp around the 100$-150$ range with a 6.5mm headphone input and can drive the sennheiser hd 598. =)

would the denon d2000 or the little dot mk 3 matches if not what could happen if i use them together for long time , any damage can happen and what could i gain in term of sound  thanx 

Oh dear, just stumbled into this;   http://www.audioaffair.co.uk/Musical-Fidelity-VDAC-II-DAC/product_5381   Used to be a pretty die-hard Musical Fidelity fan until I found that their constant product updates had become quite a joke.   Had been thinking of getting a V-DAC and V-Link...

Hi Guys,   Any suggestion pertaining to the above caption?   Thanks~  

I previously owned a pair of Alessandro MS2i's but found them to be a little fatiguing due to their all metal construction, the weight simply made long listening sessions uncomfortable.  So i'm thinking of picking up a set of Alessandro MS1's or Grado SR125's and an amp.  The only question I run...

WARNING!  Long post, but I want to get this right =)   Hi guys! New member here =)  Each time I searched a headphone related issue, debate, from "do headphone cables make a difference"" to "are headphone amps necessary"" all questions a new comer would be asking.  This forum came up each...

Hey, I need a new setup, usb-dac, tube-amp & headphones. Budget about 300-400$ for each part. Could possibly invest more if the increase of sound quality will be notable. The sound I'm looking for is a warm, lush, dark sound.. Emphasis on lows & mids. Lows need to be heavy, fast, tight &...

Need an amp to power my dt990/600 was just wondering is the mk3 worth the price difference over the mk2?
