Denon AHD-2000 - These are my everyday headphones for gaming/music hooked up to a CIAudio DAC and M^3 amp. Love the low end. Audeze LCD-2 rev1 - For listening to the details.

Quote:   Single End, I find it really makes the highs shine while still allowing the bass to be present and punchy.  It performs extremely well for the price.  I love it!

No, I did not build my own, but owing this amp has inspired me to give it a try.  I find that they have plenty of power.  I only need the gain at about 10 o'clock to drive the LCD-2's.  Mine is build by YBM audio, which I picked up off the forums.  YBM offers alot of different upgrades.  When I...

Quote:   D2k's are stock.  The D2k's have more bass response.  I listen to them about 80% of the time. I love them, but it is a real treat when I listen to the LCD-2's.  They are much more detailed through the mids and highs.   I pretty much use the D2k's for casual listening, Gaming...

Here is my new setup. Love the way it sounds!    

You would absolutely love a pair of Denon D2000's.  Very easy to drive and are very warm sounding.  I put mine on when listening to Electronic or Hiphop.  

Yea just keep listening to them and eventually you wont even remember how they sounded when you first got them.

Space is not a limiting factor, more so the two different headphones. If I were to get a 160, what would be a decent DAC to pair it with.   Would the DAC in the Burson outperform a seperate 200$ DAC?  

I enjoy my EF2A, but I guess it depends on the phones you will be using.

Quote: Agreed

I am close to certain this is the amp I will end up going with. Hows the DAC in the DS? Or would it be better to get a 160 and a separate DAC?

So here's the deal. I own a pair of D2k's and have recently purchased a pair of LCD-2's and am now looking for an amp/DAC that will pair nicely with both of them. I am getting by with a HiFiMAN EF2A amp, but the time has come to upgrade.  I have a budget of around 1000$   On a side note I...

Mullard CV 4010, try em out  

Absolutely correct, this amp has plenty enough juice to power the LCD-2's.  Just received LCD-2's yesterday. EF2A is good for 32-300 ohms and the LCD-2's run at 60 ohms. Takes a little more juice to drive them my D2ks but stills sounds amazing being a low budget amp.  

Will give this a try before purchasing a new amp/DAC. Ill let you guys know what happens when I receive the LCD-2's

I havent heard the headphone amp by these guys but I did get a chance to listen to a Tri 4SE amp with a Tri CD4SE CD player, with some martin logan speakers which sounded very good.  The sound stage was incredible.  They had a pair of the monoblocks but they weren't hoked up.  I know this is a...

Denon AHD2000 easy to drive, very comfy

i use a EF2A with my D2000's, they sound great!
