Quote: Some people say that the pico amp/dac works fine as a dac from the headphone line out. Thanks for the suggestion, and i will try it out~ but the gilmore lite definitely drives the 650 better than the pico.

This is such a weird issue.   Here's my thread on it: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/522995/hd650-tires-my-ears-out-why/15   I seriously want to resolve this.

Quote: Yes I do, if you want to talk about it in Mandarin, you can email it at stephenguo@live.com If you have msn, that's my msn as well. I don' t think chatting on this thread in Mandarin is a considerate thing to do since not everybody understands it.

Quote: Well, my extended periods are about 1 hour, which I don't think it's that long. Also, I listen to music really soft. When my friends try out my HD650, they always have to turn it up to double to volume.    So I guess it's just a 650 problem?   If I upgrade, the problem...

Quote: Yea, as said, my HD650 is not that new. I 'm a quiet listener, and my EQ is flat.

I have one of those small bravo tube amps that are super cute in my opinion.   I'm using that as a re amp for my speakers.   Let me try that one to drive my hd650.

Seems like other people have the same problem.   This is so weird.   HD650 simply tires my ears out. I didn't have the problem when i first got my k240s.   And any help on the potential upgrade?

probably "bright" and "piercing", because Chinese pop doesn't have much bass.

Hi all   I'm currently using the Pico amp/dac as DAC to feed my Gilmore lite.   I listen with my HD650 basically all the time.   But every time I listen to music, I feel my ears (not earlobes, but ear internal/ear drums) are sore after awhile, not even an hour even.    Why is...

Quote: LMAO..I wish wireless can be that compact and small in the future. Should be a good concept, but I doubt that the sound quality is going to be as competitive as wired ones.   Quote: Thank you~

      I was using my I7 with T3, but then I got the pico! see sig.

I'm looking for a grado for my Gilmore Lite as I heard that they pair up nicely. Any suggestions?

Damn..I guess I missed the deal..

my photography is not good, but here we go. My I7 on top, pico amp/dac, then gilmore lite at the bottom. beside the pico are my UM Mages. 

    My UM Mage~ The artwork is a hybrid between a bunny and a pig that my girlfriend drew. Cute, eh?

Guys, I know there are lots of threads on the pico, but I couldn't find the answer to my question.   I'm waiting for my pico to arrive from a head-fier. He doesn't have the user manual anymore, so I'm trying to find an answer from you guys.    Obviously, if I use it as a portable amp, I...

Maybe try the uDAC2?  I read some good things about it in some threads.  After you get the uDAC2, then you can consider some good amp.

Quote: Thanks TheOtus. I happened to leave that pair at her place for half an year, that's why she had the time to camwhore with it. Well, IMO, the K240S is a beautiful looking pair as I love their classic look. She likes the Beats by Dre Studio more, which I'm getting her that as a...

Here's my gf wearing my K240S  

anyone knows how much is it going to be?

I'm getting mine in a few hours. Kind of excited for it. I am also getting the Gilmore lite during the weekend from a headfi-er. Now, I would need a good DAC I guess.. Any good sugesttiins?

I'm kind of interested in the j3, but since my i7 is still good at the moment, im looking for sth next year for the upgraded version of the j3, just like how it is upgraded from the s9.
