Hello,
Back after a while on Head-Fi! My Denon D1001 is on its last legs and I'm looking for a replacement. I prefer listening straight from my iPhone 4S (which I believe sounds better than my uDac plugged into my Macbook Air). I just purchased the V-Moda M-80 but I'm not very happy with it. The D1001 sounds a lot more natural, spacious, and refined. It is also a lot more comfortable. To get an idea of my listening preferences, I use the Bass Booster EQ setting for the D1001, although I prefer Rock/Hip-Hop for the M-80. I have also tried a friend's ATH-M50 but that did not appeal at all. It was an aggressive, screechy, closed-in sound. It was also too bulky.
So the question is what to try next? I'm looking at the V-Moda M-100, Denon D1100, Philips X1, Sennheiser Amperior and Momentum, Beyer DT1350, Shure 215, Sony 1R, and ahem.. Bose QC15. I believe I'm a bass-head but I like a warm, spacious, refined sound as well. An HD650 that sounds great unamped and has more sprakly treble would be ideal. Or a smaller D2000 with a softer treble and higher sensitivity would also be ideal. I would like something that I can carry around in a backpack so nothing too bulky or delicate. Any suggestions?
