Cheers, working on that thread but theres a ton of information to sift through. I like the look of the Shure SE535s or the Logitech UE900s, but both are above the budget which may be increasing very soon! ^^- Naphta

Spec me some IEMs with good sound isolation & for mostly electronica
Basically looking for something with low sound leakage, amazing sound isolation and great comfort Something with a neutral sound signature would be great, but will consider other things - on that note electronica and classical are my main listening tastes. Budget it up to £250 but flexible if...- Naphta

Upgrade to Ultrasone PRO 2900s
I'll be honest, the LCD-2's are interesting me a lot. But I imagine I'd need to pickup a tube amp for that?- Naphta

Upgrade to Ultrasone PRO 2900s
Just looking for an upgrade, no budget really. What I like about my current phones is that the sub bass is really nice and I can feel a significant amount of depth in tracks. However at higher volumes they're definitely too bright for me and I'm a huge treble whore. I'm not bothered if its...- Naphta

Schiit Bifrost or DACMagic Plus?
My price range is between £300-350 and these two are more or less perfectly inside that region, if anyone has any other suggestions feel free to say so. But which out of these two is the better DAC? I'll be using optical or coax from my PC.- Naphta

Looking for a DAC for between £150-300
I've been looking at: DacMagic 100, DacMagic Plus, Schiit Bifrost and the Firestone Fubar 4. Which of these is the best and how big is the difference between the DacMagic 100 and Plus.- Naphta

Looking for a DAC for between £150-300
I'm currently looking at getting the MA TubeMagic D2 or waiting and saving for the Schiit Bifrost. Is the difference between the two significant enough to warrant this? Opinions/Ideas anyone?- Naphta

DAC Recommendation Needed, < $300 budget, 24/96 USB, Wide Soundstage, To be paired with Tube amps
Quote: For me anyways, It's looking like a £250-300 dac, which sadly is quite a bit more than $250- Naphta

Looking for a DAC for between £150-300
Currently using a pair of Ultrasone PRO 2900s, this amp and an Asus D2X. Looking at spending £150/$240USD, plan on using the optical from the onboard chip on my motherboard. Just want to know what a decent upgrade to my Asus D2X would be in that price range. RCA Out would be a bonus.- Naphta

Looking for a DAC for my Ultrasone PRO 2900s
I'm currently using an Asus D2X soundcard and I'm planning to upgrade it to a DAC. I'm going to be using a Neco Mosfet Amp and figured that my source is probably due an upgrade. Apologies if this is in the wrong section.- Naphta

Upgrade for my M50s (Including amp if req.)
Just got them after buying them. They do not dissapoint. Bass is more than enough, probably about the same as my m50s which is interesting, I guess I had some bad m50s bass wise. But the rest, is exactly what I wanted and better. I thought I might lose out on bass which was my only...- Naphta

Upgrade for my M50s (Including amp if req.)
So the Pro2900s are definitely what I want to be looking at? I don't mind stretching my budget a little if it makes the difference. However, would these need to be amped to work as well as possible? As I was hoping to include an amp in budget if the phones required it. Also...- Naphta

Upgrade for my M50s (Including amp if req.)
I currently own my M50s and am playing them through my Asus D2X soundcard. Overall I like them, but sometimes I feel the sound doesn't have enough presence. So I guess I want more sub bass? I'm currently thinking my budget is £300 for everything, and ideally would like to buy from Amazon or...- Naphta

Looking to upgrade my ATH-M50s
I will list it, just because I'm asking for something doesn't mean you have to be rude either. (I am neither literate in every single aspect so don't shoot me down on wrong terminology if I knew everything I wouldn't be asking a question...) High tones: I liked the very neutral feel of my m50s...- Naphta
