I'm somewhat inexperienced and finally purchased one of these babies (the first Stepdance) from somebody on here, been having some problems:    I'm currently using the line out of my iPhone 3GS into it as I have no application from my MacBook or a DAC (yet). Previously, I could listen to my...

I have a stepdance/HD595&HD448, looking for something that can play rockier/harder and stuff that combines guitar and electronic music in an electronic format better than my other phones.    Think Nine Inch Nails/The Cure/Tool and some regular straight-rock bands. I don't want to spend too...

  Hey folks I have a few questions for those that would indulge me- I've been looking into 225's for a bit now, and someone recently started really suggesting them, so how would they play music like Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, U2, Radiohead, and rockier stuff in general + some electronic stuff...

I've tried all the free players + Decibel. Fidelia sounds ridiculously bright and 'off' to me. Decibel sounds a bit better than itunes but that's it.     Are the others worth checking out?

Yeah, Decibel just expired for me too, and I really hate audirvana's sound compared to the formers. Deep Sigh.

has anyone used Pico amp/dac with these?

I've read the first 35 and the last 10 pages of this thread, but I'm ashamed to say the majority of what's been said goes over my head, and the rest goes way way over.      Basically, I'm looking for an amp for my HD595's and might eventually go HD650's or another of similar expense and...

Thanks for the lovely responses guys!    So, would the 650 play general rock (by harder I mean post-hardcore bands like Thursday/Thrice, with mixed in industrial NIN, etc) and classical better than my HD595's? And if so, by a good amount?    -Vader

Hey folks, got a few questions and thought you guys would know best.    Couple of questions, if anyone would oblige, I'd greatly appreciate it.    A.) Is the soundstage as huge as I'd hope it is? I have 595's now. They're a bit boring sometimes, but I mostly love them.    B.) How do...

Would either amp mentioned be powerful enough to really drive HD650's though? I honestly can't see myself wanting 'higher' than those, more likely would experiment with different cans altogether.      Do the 650's improve everything I asked? Perhaps I should ask/poke around in the...

Hey folks, need some much needed help on couple o' potential upgrades I'm considering. I'm coming by some spending cash soon, and I've put my thoughts into as focused a question (or couple) as I can.    SO:    I've got a pair of 595's I'm extremely happy with. Bass leaves something to be...

Wow, this is fantastic. When will it be out if it only has a 15 day trial? hm.

And those would respond amazingly to the bands I listed as well? 

Hey folks I need some help.    I've been using the 595's for a while, but some songs just... actually a good amount of songs just don't really have much 'kick' to them and I can see why some people call them boring. Some stuff like Radiohead, Phoenix, some NIN mostly sound good, but A.) the...

Most of the good ones are snow leopard only.      Sigh.
