    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

    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...

    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

    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...

    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...

    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)...

    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...

      hm.. so do you use an external amp with your dx50 when you pair it with high impedance headphones?

    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

    IBasso DX50 vs Fiio X3 comparison thread

      so long as the X3 can drive my 250ohm headphones I'll be fine without an external amp..
