HD 598 DAC/AMP questions and suggestions?
Each time I put 598 on my head I'm experiencing extreme satisfaction. My source is PC-FiiO- E10-LD Mk III /With Mullard/Voskhod tubes/. For portability I've ordered E17 and now I'm eagerly waiting. You don't need an amp to hear their amazing sound but you need one to take out best of them...- onesome

Bad expirience with mp4nations about my FiiO e10
Hi all, I don't know if this is the right thread to post this, but I'd like to warn you about mp4nationts guarantee policy. When I put my hands on FiiO E10 I found it has loose jack and Betas that came as a gift not working. Of course I contact mp4nations and sent both back. After two weeks they...- onesome

Which should I choose? Schiit Asgard or Little Dot MKIII
I was faced the same dilemma a couple of weeks ago. After brief communication with David /LD/ I've decided to go with LD Mk III – my main concern was not to overwarm HD598. David said it is not going to happen besides I have option to experiment with different tubes for different music/cans...- onesome

[Impression] FiiO E10
Mike from Headfonia recommended it over E17. Fiio products are average - they benefit from lower price and vast functionality and although they are using decent components, bad quality control is an issue. BTW I also waiting for replacement/repair my E10 but I'll keep it as a DAC for LittleDot...- onesome

[Impression] FiiO E10
Quote: Not sure if Fiio is known for its products reliability but I admire company attempt to make mid classes DAC/Amps accessible for many. Apart of its issues E10 deliver decent sound and justify its price.- onesome

My new Fiio E10 - no SQ improvement?
In order to make sure you get the maximum of your DAC you should install WASAPI plugin for your player. I’m using foobar2000 with WASAPI plugin – then I’m setting the player to use “WASAPI: FiiO USB DAC- E10” as output. Thus I’m sure for the signal purity until it reaches E10.- onesome

My new Fiio E10 - no SQ improvement?
If your original records aren’t 24/96 encoded/sampled you can’t expect improvement. Find 24/96 music and see if you hear any difference – but don’t expect day and night difference if any.- onesome

[Impression] FiiO E10
Quote: I think the instrument separation is where E10 shines. That's why it is good partner with HD 598 let alone dedicated speakers. Personally I can't find any big improvement over my sansa clip SQ but only additional space between instruments. And that's what makes sound clearer...- onesome

Quote: Approx. 100 cm /40 inches/. And while E10 is great playing with my HD598 I couldn't find any real benefit with MS1i. But being honest after I paired it with HD 598 I didn't give my other cans a chance. Maybe later I'll give them another try but for now I'm stucked.- onesome

Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread
Mine came yesterday. I did one mistake only – I gave them to my wife for a moment. The next hour all the sound I was able to hear was the leaking one . After she heard Jon Secada ‘s Just Another Day she said only “ I feel like I’m falling in love again”. Enough said. To pity I’ m so busy now...- onesome

++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum
Quote: If this is what you like in Maiden then Grado aren't your cup of tea. You probably should look for more analytical and neutral phones - kns 6400/8400 or Shure 840/940. But I still think that otherwise great metals headphone could make IM sound unacceptable.- onesome
