    Best amp and DAC for Audio Technica AD2000?

    A GLite or dynalo would drive it pretty nicely. And it does do pretty well for gaming. What are you looking to spend?

    I'd definitely be interested. If the date works out I'll bring a bunch of my gear along!

    The Deals Thread (CLOSED! See the last post for the link to the new thread)

    Whoa I've been out of the loop for a while. I really wish I hadn't sold my modded denons now.

    I need your thoughts on the DT779 Pro 80ohm!

    No me gusta.   I found them to have overwhelming, uncontrolled boomy bass, extremely recessed mids, and somewhat sparkly highs.   What I did like about them was comfort, soundstage (for a closed can), and build quality. They also isolate reasonably well too. If movies (and games) were my...

    Sennheiser HD25-1 or Ultrasone HFI 580 (*edited May 19 added Sony ZX700 out of curiosity)

    I've heard the 580, 780 and HD25-1 and I have to agree with Proglover on rock music and the 580/780. IMO they were much better suited towards electronic music while the HD25s did better with rock if my memory serves correctly. The 580s are very agressive though with a big treble and bass but...

    How do you afford list

    I'm a college student and I work internships during the summer and in a research position during the school year. I've also been saving almost everything since I was 9 and I have a couple of investments from dabbling in the stock market. I also bargain hunt and fix up and sell things in my spare...

    "Anyone around here try the W1000X with gaming?" -maverickronin   Sorry, I'm having trouble with quoting. I currently have the W1000X's and have tried them with gaming but I haven't done any in depth analysis as of yet. I'm a little busy at the moment but I think I can manage a good listen...

    My bad. It's short for solid state.

    Audio-Technica ATH-AD2000 Discussion (and Appreciation) Thread!

    I always thought they did very well with SS amps. My GLite (dynalo design) does a fantastic job with them. As for running unamped they actually do much better than I thought they would. They are one of the only cans that I can't see me selling at some point.

    Quote: I personally would go with the DT990s for gaming and movies unless you need some sort of isolation. From what I remember the Sones (Pro650/750) did well with gaming but not to the level of the DT990s. Still it has been awhile since I've listened to either so take that with a grain of...

    K701 Owners: have you heard the MDR SA-5000?

    I tried a pair out but they came across as more sterile and trebley than the K701. Don't get me wrong they are technically proficient and insanely quick but they just weren't my cup of tea.
