Thanks. I am also considering the JDS Atom Stack, as well as the Vali2 instead of the Magni. Any thoughts on how they would stack up with HE4xx? Thanks.

Hello all- Looking for suggestions for headphone amps for my Massdrop HE4xx planars. I prefer a more rounded and laidback sound with a wide soundstage - more tube-like. And I would like to keep it within $300. Thanks all for your time.

I posted this as a separate question. But, thought would ask it here too. How does the mass drop CTH compare to the Schiit Vali 2? Thanks.

Hi folks- Trying to choose between the 2 for my Massdrop HiFiman HE4xx planar. The parameters being: 1. Better soundstage and instrument separation. (Listen to a lot of acoustic stuff). Top end needs to be airy. 2. Less fatigue. 3. Tube-y sound. The CTH is right now $175, while the Vali 2 is...

If you can't try both, choose h6 if you want: 1. Wide sound stage. Each instrument can be placed in the soundscape 2. Excellent detail. 3. Comfort. Not that Meze lacks in these departments, but H6 is better. Choose Meze if you want: 1. More musical signature. 2. Fun bass. Another factor...

Haven't heard H9. But, I have demoed H6. From what I have read, H6 is like a gem in the B&O lineup.

These two are entirely different headphones. I demoed B&O H6 and B&W P7 wireless side by side. H6 has a very detailed presentation with a very big soundstage for a closed headphone. The instrument separation is awesome. The bass is definitely there, but not overpowering. ( would say lacking at...

Looks like he measured the 99 classics with both old and new pads?

Now, curious. Can I get a pair of the older smaller ear pads?

Are the large pads the ones that come standard now, or is it larger? I bought the walnut gold last month.

Anyone tried a Fulla 2 with the 99s? I am trying to get a DAC which might widen the soundstage I get with the 99s. Another option is the DF black.

Wow. That is interesting. Any idea when this is going to happen? On the fence deciding on the 99s. But, given how often i buy headphones, I would rather wait.....

Where can we get accessories for the Meze classics? Also, what are the best bang for buck mods?

True. They sound great indeed!

I have a Meze classics 99, which is very efficient already. So, I don't need an amp with either my iPhone or mac. But, I just love the sound of tube based components in home theater. (The fluid no harsh sound) Which Headphone dacs can give me the same signature?

Not sure what you ended up buying. But, based on the discussion so far, it looks like the sound signature the OP is chasing is very similar to what I am chasing. I started off with the B&W P7 wireless and the B&O H6, based on the other threads here. I like the sound of the P7, but it feels very...

Ok. I will try to demo that. Are there any other closed headphones that sound full like the b&w P7, but has the sound stage and separation like the B&O H6?

I have been using a Klipsch Image X10 IEM for many years without any issues.. Then, I wanted to try closed Over ear headphones and bought the B&O H6 and B&W P7. The plan is to keep the one I like and return the other. I've been A/B ing these 2 headphones for a week now. I've ended up with a lot...

Has anyone compared this to the B&O H6? Also, being open, can this be used in a quiet workplace without distracting others?

Closed full headphones in the $250-$400 range. (Listen to live, acoustics, vocal rich music. No heavy metal) Tried so far: B&w p7 wireless: like the rich sound, but sound feels congested with not much separation and slightly narrower sound stage. B&O H6: love the comfort, great sound stage and...

Anyone compared this to the DAC in MacBook Pro?

Cross posting: Any thoughts on the dragonflys USB DAC/Amp paired with B&O H6 gen 2? The B&O H6s are already fairly easy to drive, with MacBook Pro or iPhone. If I use a DF, what difference would I hear?

Any suggestions for a good amp for H6 that does not break the bank?
