Thanks so much for your extensive reply.   I actually have looked at some second hand audio-gd's. As a matter of fact, I can get a nfb10se for around 300 euro; however, audio-gb has so many different models that all look alike that I'm not sure whether this is one of there good ones. What do...

(second hand) max 400 euro  

Could you please recommend some? I am not in a position to demo DACs in my system at home, so I have to base my choice on experienced users' advises.  

Hello people,    I am looking for a quality dac/amp that in which I can plug my K550's and which can serve as pre-amp to my Rotel RB991 which in turn are connected to my B&W cm1's.   So far have been looking at:   Audiolab M-Dac Cambridge DACmagic plus   I would like to keep it...

No one can help? Also reading good things about Audiolab M-DAC, though this one is in the same range as the cambridge. How would for instance a more basic device such as hrt music streamer pro serve my needs?   Please, need advise  

Hi people, hope you can help me with this one I have the following gear: Computer with sort of acceptable soundcard (creative xfi music) Rotel rb991 200 watt power amp B&W CM1 AKG K550 At the moment I use my headphones barely as I have to dive under the desk to plug em into the back of my...

Hope you guys can help. I have the following incomplete system as of this moment:   Computer with semi-acceptable soundcard Simple cabling to my Rotel RB 991 power amp (200 watt) B&W CM1's AKG K550   My problem:   First of all my poweramp is probably way to heavy for this...

Just received the K550's. I was doubting for a long time between these, D2k and hfi-780. D2k were having too much leakage issues for my use and I found the comfort on the hfi-780 a definite deal breaker.   Here are some initial thoughts without burn-in and from an iphone 3GS(!). I knew I...

Hoe good/ bad is the k550 with techno music?

Simple question, difficult answer. Looking at: sq (by far the most important imo), comfort (may be a game breaker if really poor), sound leakage/isolation (you take closed cans for a reason) Some of the contenders that come to mind: Denon d2k, akg k550, ultrasone pro750, beyerdynamic d770...

Okay the votes seem to be 50/50. I think I'm going to take the risk and get myself a pair of these phones. Thank you so much for all your input. 

I started this quest in search of some new cans (or headphones as I still called them back then) 3 weeks ago. I thought I'd do a bit of research before going for my initial favorite (hd25) so it wasn't for long since I came to head-fi; BIG MISTAKE! 3 weeks later I am looking at increasingly more...
