    Little Dot MK3 + Fubar IV SS amp question

    Hi All,   I currently own a Little Dot MK3 + Fubar IV SS DAC/Amp set-up. The way I set them up is that my Fubar is used as a DAC using Coaxial directly from my computer sound-card. Then my LD MK3 tube amp is at the end of the chain to power my headphones.  Recently though, I have heard...

    Upgrade from Fubar II

    I currently have a Fubar II with OPA627s in place of the stock op-amps that I'm using with a Little Dot Mk V amp and DT 990s. I love the setup, but I have a feeling that I could be getting more out of it. I definitely want to stick with the Little Dot, but I'd like to know what else is out there...

    HEAD-DIRECT EF-5 Headphone amplifier

    Don't know if this is a mistake but I was checking to see if they still sell the EF-1 (so I can use it for my SR225i) but they don't sell them anymore. Now the price is now at $400 and it's using a new name (EF-5). It did say on the website that it will be available soon. Head-Direct.com |...

    Looking for advice on 350$ cans

    I ventured into slightly higher quality audio last year when I picked up a pair of ATH A700s and a Little Dot Micro+ amp. I was really happy with them but now I'd like to venture further and see what else is out there. Ideally I'd like to find something in the 350$ range that has great...

    [DT 770 Pro 80] Amp or not ?

    Hello, I'm new here, I was lurking these forums for the past 2 weeks after receiving my first pair of good headphones (well I hope), the DT 770 pro 80 ohm. I really like their sound and do not regret buying them. BUT, obviously lurking here made me think about amps, as it seems to be said...

    How hot do tube headphone amps really get? i.e. Little Dot MK III

    Greetings all. I'm currently working up the courage to put together a quality headphone rig for myself as I will be moving back in with two of my friends. As of now, I'm thinking about Beyerdynamic DT 880's and a Little Dot tube amp, probably the MK III as it is the top end of my price range—I...

    A gut check from a lurker...

    Hello Everyone,   I've been reading the forums here quite a bit for a while and it has been an outstanding source of information.  Thanks for all the help you've already provided me with!   Now, I would say I'm a 'fairly long term' audiophile - about 15 years - but have always been so...

    How much amp is needed for DT990 / 600 Ohms?

    I'm just interested in what is needed to make these sound good.   I tried them with the Beyerdynamic A1 headphone amplifier but there was still a lot that bothered me:   - Soundstage is too intimate and close, does not extend far enough - Bass feels kind of hollow, needs more body and...

    Fiio E7 with L7 ----> Little Dot MK iiii??

    Hi Guys,  I'm kinda new to the headphone scene. I've currently got a Beyer 990/600 and a Fischer FA-002w woodie. I'm using these through a FiiO E7 as a Dac/Amp. It doesn't look like the E7 is doing the beyers any justice so I was thinking of adding a MKiii to my setup using the FiiO as a DAC...

    Looking for some amps to research, hoping for some advice on models to look at.   I currently have a Little Dot MKVI.  This amp is functionally very much what I'm looking for, but I'm curious about what I could be hearing if I step it up in cost/quality.  I do like the the LD, but compared...

    Amp overkill? (for m50 headphones)

      Hello,   Here's the problem- I like my Audio Technica ATH M-50s but lately I've been wanting a 'little more' out of the sq and general grunt, as I've found I've been turning up the volume a lot recently just to get some more power behind the sound. I have been looking at amps which may...

    Just scored a Fostex T20 v.2...wow!

    I always wanted to hear one of the Fostex orthos and I was lucky to find a set for a very reasonable price on ebay. The bidding started at $49.99, so I asked the seller if she'd do a 'buy it now' price and she was kind enough to do so....for $59.99. Could I really resist? Just got them about an...
