I completely broke my budget and went with the Jotunheim with the AK4490 balacned DAC after I had a chance to go to the Schiitr store in Newhall, CA and I absolutely love it

I've got a Fiio E10K, a NuForce u-DAC 2 and an HD 555 and HD 660s on the way. The 660s are coming in later this week and I wanted to get a new dac/amp combo for the new cans. I bought the FX-AUDIO DAC-X7 and it sounded amazing on my 555s, but stopped working over USB completely after a few hours...

Hey guys,     I recently graduated college and got a job that pays me enough to start really getting into this hobby and want to upgrade from the Senn HD555s that faithfully got me through the last 8 years or so.   I recently got the Senn Momentums for work use (needed something closed) and...

I ended up reading about the Sennheiser Momentums. I've always been a big Senn fan, they fit the need for professional looking phones, I can make Skype calls with them and Inner Fidelity gave them a good review. Even they were significantly more than I wanted to spend, I pull in help from...

Hey guys,   It's been a while since I've been shopping for a new piece of equipment and it's time I started gathering suggestions again.    I just got a new job that I'm really happy with and I'm starting to settle in. However, I've noticed that this company relies heavily on VOIP calls...

Quote: I know we're authorized dealers for Senns, and looking through quickly just now, I can see that we sell some of the midrange of the other manufacturers (Sony, Beyerdynamic). But with Senns I know I can get the 650s for a really good price (lower than I've seen most used ones) and I...

So I'm not new here, I just tend to come and go. So after a few years of being content, I've been getting the itch to buy more stuff again and need an opinion.    I'm looking for some new cans. I've had my Sennheiser HD 555s for a while now, and while I always liked them, I do want something...

I was reading around and found this which leads me to believe that I don't actually need 24 bit audio as much as I assumed I would. So now, assuming I can use the USB interface from Twister Pear as well, how should I go about amplifying the output?

Hey guys.     So I've been looking into getting a USB dac and amp for a while as most of my music is on my computer and I am not too interested in getting a high end sound card. I also study computer engineering at school (I'm an undergrad) and I'm really getting interested in building my...

1. iBasso D2 2. Self-built CMoy or Mini3 3. Fiio e7

Skullcandy is only about the look. I see kids wearing the low-riders around their necks in my high school all the time. It's only so that they can look cool and like they have better things to do than to be in school. My girlfriend actually owned the low riders when I met her. I had only a pair...

Get an amp. When I bought my HD555s I didn't have an amp and then I got the fiio e3 for about $10 on ebay. Even a little amp like that one opened them up a lot. Now I'm prepping to buy another amp and build a cmoy for fun. I highly suggest getting an amp.

I'm thinking about building my first CMoy. I just wanted to know if I should do the things I would want in it. I would want to add these features to the CMoy: -Dual input (1/8" jack and iPod LOD) with switch to choose which is active -Volume Control -Rechargeable and replaceable...

So if I get a good seal with a vacuum with the small provided tips, I just find them a bit uncomfortable to wear for a long time, does it sound like the Comply's are a good choice?

If I use the small on the provided tips, should I get small for the Comply's or do they size differently?

Thanks a lot. For now I've turned them upside down and that helped a lot. They're much more comfortable. And I'm also now considering buying the Comply T-100s for these. But for now, they're alright. I'm on a money diet after these, I'm 17 and work at MickeyD's so money for even something...

I just got these and am having a lot of trouble getting a good seal no matter which tips I use. The only way I am getting a decent seal is with the left earphone in my right ear and visa-versa. Is this normal? Are the S4's made this way or am I doing something wrong? These are my first...

Thanks a lot. I bought the Kipsch Image S4s. I was reading really good things and they're supposed to work well for all sorts of music. I guess I'll find out when I get them. I paid $83.98 with one day shipping on amazon.com with a free trial of Amazon Prime. I'll have them Monday. Thanks a...

I'm looking into getting either the Shure e2c, the Klipsch Image S4 or the etymotic er6i earphones. Ever since I got my HD555's, I can't use my ipod anywhere but my house because I can't stand my $10 Sony buds. I'd love to take my ipod with me again. I listen to mostly rock and alternative. I...

I want to know what you guy think of these two amps. Which one is better? I'll be using it with HD555s and I listen mostly to rock, metal, and alternative rock. Feel free to suggest others as long as they're USB DAC/Amps for around the same price or less. Thanks.

Do you think that if the additional $70 became available that the iBasso is a better choice? And ignoring the DAC portion, is the Penguin Caffeine Amp any good for the HD 555s?

I just bought a pair of Sennheiser HD555's as my true introductory set of headphones. Now I'm looking for a decent USB DAC and amp to drive them. I like the iBasso D2+ Boa but I'm really looking for something around the $100 mark. I do need it to be portable. Right now I'm using my stereo's...

Thanks

About $200 - $300
