Sennheiser Amperior Impressions Thread
Hi all... A couple of months ago I bought these used (no receipt) from a user and I notice the sound cutting out often, does anyone know if warranty is still valid withot a receipt? The box says two years guarantee and I doubt it's been two years.. I'm locate in Canada btw. Thanks- jscivias

Sennheiser Amperior Impressions Thread
this is my first venture into on-hear headphones and the comfort factor takes a bit of time getting used to (esp. as i use dt880 at home and that's so so comfy).. other than that i'm pretty happy, i think i found a decent pair i can use on the go. the right cup being loose annoys me a bit...- jscivias

Sennheiser Amperior Impressions Thread
hey guys I just got amperior headphones and noticed its 18 ohm impedance. do you think it's ok for me to use this with a desktop amp /dac? i don't have a dedicated DAC and don't think i can disable the amp section of my ALO PanAms... thanks- jscivias

ALO Pan Am desktop/portable headphone amp/DAC: Impressions and Reviews
Thanks guys for the feedback. I tried using my iPod as an input rather than my laptop/USB, and I find the sound to be less harsh.. did I bypass the PanAm DAC by using the iPod? also, I'm currently using a cheap USB cable to connect my laptop to the PanAm, do you think that using higher...- jscivias

ALO Pan Am desktop/portable headphone amp/DAC: Impressions and Reviews
I am having the same issue.. I have tried the russians, mullards, and siemens, and to my newbie audiophile ears they all sound a bit too harsh with my DT880s.. it reminds me of when I tried out DT990 pro and decided against those because of the offensive highs. others on this thread said the...- jscivias

The Fiio X3 Thread.
hi guys, with the new firmware I was wondering if I can use the X3 as just a DAC in the following manner: laptop -> X3 (DAC) -> integrated amp -> passive speakers. Basically, my intention is to be able to play music on my laptop through my floorstanding speakers (connected to an integrated amp)...- jscivias

The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread
sorry, truly, but one more amp related question... if I may do you guys think an external amp will be necessary to use dt880-250ohm with below DAP: X3 Output Power 1 > 540 mW@16Ω Output Impedance <0.3Ω Output Power2 > 270 mW@32Ω Crosstalk >75 dB@1KHz Output Power3 > 30...- jscivias

The Fiio X3 Thread.
can you elaborate on the x3 as a "portable source on the go" being unlikely? that was my intention for getting one, plus using it as a dac+amp with my thinkpad (generic soundcard) once the new FW is released. thanks- jscivias
