Looking for advice on an upgrade from D1100
So I have pretty much decided on the HE400's then, what would be a good DAC amp combo, I was thinking of the Xiang Sheng DAC-01A/Maverick Audio D1 as the DAC or a Fire Pheonix and either a Bravo Audio Ocean mini tube amp or a Hifiman EF2A. Any other recomendations? Not bothered if it is...- MrToastofferson

Looking for advice on an upgrade from D1100
thank you very much that seems like another vote for the HE400. I briefly looked up the Ultrasones you mentioned but it seems they are supra aural so I feel the comfort may be even less again. I am sure there are things I can do to the HE400 if the weight is too much, get a stronger neck, make...- MrToastofferson

Looking for advice on an upgrade from D1100
Hi all! I am looking for a little advice really on my first pair of expensive headphones. I currently own CAL!, XB500 and D1100. Out of those I like the D110 with a little EQ the best. The reasons being that I like the non fatiguing sound signature, and the extreme comfort I get from them...- MrToastofferson
