Mastodon's whole "Blood Mountain" album sounds GREAT on these cans in FLAC through my modest Schiit Magni/Modi combo... love them, can't get enough!!       Any other recommendations on tunes that really bring out the HE400s strong suits? They've sounded great on everything I've thrown at...

        Dorm setup. Gets the job done      Xbox 360 doubles as a nice headphone stand!

Quote:   How would this compare to the LittleDot MKIII?

Quote:   Thank you for the response - I definitely can understand that and I had figured as such for my current cans. That is why I just put them as an afterthought, i.e., it would be neat if it would work with them as well as the HD650. I'm very happy with my SS Magni for my HE-400 and...

Hi all,     I'm looking for a budget tube amp that will sound good with HD650s first and foremost, and secondarily my HE-400s and Denon D2K, although in this case they are of lesser import (happy with my Magni/Modi).       Will my Modi DAC work with a tube amp? Hopefully I won't...

Quote:     I put the stock HiFiMAN velour pads back on and my suspiscions were confirmed - definitely like the sound with the velours better.     It was a worthy experiment, but I'm gonna keep em stock.

          Wha.... Wha?     Denon D2K pads on HE-400s?     I decided to try this out tonight. It was a very easy switch. Comfort is improved by infinity amount - I'm not sure about the sound though. It may be my mind playing tricks on me, but it seems like the bass response...

Quote:   Quote:     NEVER at any listening volumes... All I'm saying is that it is definitely there in the first few mm of the volume knob's travel. with he-400s and D2Ks

the cups are made of plastic. very nice feel and color       good luck!

Quote: Likewise, lol

I just have my computer and FooBar at 100% and control w/ the Magni's volume knob. At very low volumes, it has some channel imbalance (mine is biased to the right) but it's honestly only at whisper quiet volumes. hasn't been a problem for me at all

Quote:     Like I said I only own the D2Ks and HE-400s, but from what I have heard the HE-500s offer better detailing and have slightly less bass than the HE-400s (which have plenty)     According to Schiit, Magni is good with HE-400/500 and AUDEZE LCD2, but I haven't tried it...

Quote:     I only own Denon D2000's and HiFIMAN HE-400s (Schiit Magni/Modi amp/dac)       So, take my suggestion as you will,       BUT the HE-400s sound like a perfect fit for what I bolded above... a little less sub bass kick than the denons and and a wide soundstage...

Metallica's ...And Justice For All sounds great on these cans        really loving them so far
