Big Ego is on sale right now for $66, just grabbed one, hell yeah. Literally almost bought one for $219 yesterday but held off, had no idea the sale was coming, hahaha. Perfect!

I was comparing my Koss Sporta Pros to my Fostex TH600 and I was thinking, you know, yeah the TH600 sounds better, but is it really *that* much better? For the massive increase in price (more than 10x more costly). In particular, I was listening to music at 320kbps, and was getting annoyed how...

So I'm thinking about treating myself to one of these for the holidays. I've always wanted one. But.... I don't mind spending the money, but I really don't wanna drop $475 if Predator has since been outclassed by some $100 Fiio or something. Meanwhile, while devices like the Chord Mojo are all...

I know this is old, but the Tenore schools all of these phones in my opinion. They're very cheap on Amazon right now!

  I agree as it applies to DACs, but as for soda itself.... Coke is better  

The DAC in the new Touch is actually very good. I find very little left to be desire when using it with iems. With full size cans, the the DAC and amp in the thing do a surprisingly good job, it's just not quite there. Hopefully lightning digital out becomes a reality someday, besides that hdmi...

Quote: Huh! That's amazing - mine were MD5000s, but I loved them all the same haha. If you are ever looking to sell them, you know who to PM 

Dang, are those Lawton Denons? Gorgeous. Selling mine was possibly the biggest mistake of my life 

Hey guys! Looking forward to this. Sadly I sold the Terminator V4s I said I could bring. I'm getting some Mad Dog T50RPs which would be awesome to take along, but I don't know if I'll have them in time. Fingers crossed!

Quote: Hey folks - would anyone want to buy these? The bass is still a little strong for me after burn-in, and I wanna recoup some of the cash I just spent on a Spring break trip to Utah, haha. As much as I like these, if they're not my dream headphone I can't justify not making some cash...

Quote: Yea, sorry if I wasn't clear! What you just said is exactly what I was trying to say, haha. Like, if the E9 is connected to ****, people say it's the E9's fault, but it's not, it would be the $30 CD player's fault.

Quote: You felt they sounded awful? Here's the thing, for me. Straight up sound quality wise, stock they are not incredibly impressive. Good for the money. But in terms of the overall balance, the neutrality/flatness of the response, the lovely quality of the mids and the tight and...

I just want to throw in, and OP clearly recognizes this, but I think the E9 often gets flac for things that are actually the E7 dac's fault. I use the E9 with an HRT Music Streamer II, and though it's not a super high end dac, it's a huge step up from the E7 in my view and I've enjoyed my E9 a...

Quote: Thanks! They are quite easy on the eyes 

Quote:   Indeed - I was more just thinking, are they being driven inadequately by the E9. My friend has a Schiit Lyr so I'm gonna try 'em with that and see what I notice.
