    Under $500 versatile desktop amp recommendations?

    The Dynalo I've been using has been wonderful up until I got my Westone UM3X's, and now my Earsonic SM3's.  With these IEM's there's a quiet, but audible hum that I've never noticed with any other headphones (full size or IEM).  Perhaps my last couple IEM's are just more sensitive than the amp...

    D2000 vs Beyerdynamic DT880 - 990

    OK so i just got myself a pair of the D2000 and i was mainly looking at them for a can with more bass coming from the hd598.  And well they do have A LOT more bass but over all its more of a "fun" bass than what i was really looking for. As well as the mids are really recessed.  I have burned...

    Matrix M-Stage vs Schiit Asgard for HD650?

    Could anyone please comment on the synergy of these two amps with the HD650? Which one is best, or should I be looking at a completely different amp (max price is $300). Furthermore, how well do they work with HE400s?
