DAC/Amp for MDR v6s and Denon d2000
I have the d2000s and have had poor results with two different tube amps: first, the hifiman you referenced and now my Schiit Valhalla. Best example is DSOTM which quickly turns into a major bass fartfest. My experience is that the 2000s are better un-amped- zumpp99

Most overrated headphones of all time?
I bought a pair of Goldring DR150s based on a 5-minute listening test and universally positive reviews. They are pure crapola. Ear-piercing highs, sibilance, tinny, blah, blah, blah. Break-in matters not. My only true waste of money.- zumpp99

Rock female singers recs' please
Another vote for The Pretenders. Chrissie Hynde is one of the greatest woman rock singers EVER! Her vox are not of the soothing variety though (no hint of twee or sweet). She is a rocker who has perfected the tough/tender thingy. She is also a fiercely independent thinker if that matters at all -
