Hello, My Music boost will hopefully arrive tomorrow, will let you know how it handles my D-7000, HD650 and LCD 2 cans. Fingers and toes crossed!

Hi again cartograph   I appreciate there is nothing quite like a new pair of headphones! I did buy a second hand pair of LCD's and they were mint, like new without a single defect. If you find the right buyer on head fi then maybe try. I say this because the d7000's are just the best...

Hi cartograph   I listen to a lot of ambient and electronic music.   I would seriously recommend for your budget a second hand pair of denon d7000's with a fiio e9 dac amp combo thing. Electronic just sounds awesome on these cans I promise.   If your interested check out my sig for...

Went for the Burson in the end as no one had a good word to say about the BCL usb version. Just hope I have made the right decision, fingers crossed. I should be happy but I feel worried....!!?? Should arrive in a few days so time will tell.

My wife complains about leakage from the HD650's at average listening level but not on D7000's Unless I have them louder than I should for my ear health.

Quote: I guess there is just no one definitive setup. Don't get me wrong, Its fun to change, upgrade and try something new but I wish my wallet and wife felt the same. Now just the waiting game for the Burson  ............  

Just bought the ha-160d (waiting for it to arrive) to go with my D7000 and hd650. This thread has has now made me think whats next. Will this journey ever end....?

Hi Head-fi   Has anyone had the fortune to experience this new kid on the block, I wonder if bests the the Burson HA 160d or the Lehmann BCL usb?   Any impressions of the CEntrance would be welcomed.   I am dac/amp pest at the moment but I haven't got money to burn.    

Quote: Hi Arcamera,   I'm doing my research on the Burson and I have the D7000. Please could you offer a deeper insight into this combo for me having listened to this pairing a while longer?   Cheers if you can no worries if not!    

Quote:   Thanks for the link dj. So you have 2 BCL already and you have just pulled the trigger on a 3rd!? Didn't fancy a change then. I would buy the BCL usb right now if I could find someone respected saying good things about the usb aspect. I am interested to know what you think once...

Quote: Hi DjAmTraX   I tried to ask you a question on a different post but I think it got screwed up or something. The post didn't appear after submit but its still in my profile page. Upshot being not sure if you got it. Anyway I 'm torn between the Burson 160d and the Lehmann BCL...

Just to add context to my post. When I plug the 650's into my Pioneer JDM mixer I realise the sound I have been missing via the E9. I was surprised that the mixer sounded sweeter than the E9. And weirdly the Denons sound less able through the mixer. All a bit odd to me. Sometimes ignorance can...

Quote: The weird thing for me is that temporarily stopping it crackle has been achieved trying different methods. Sometimes the gain switch works, sometimes its turning the volume right up and down or unplugging the A/C power supply. Sometimes it just stops of it's own accord. If there...

Quote: I need to plug my Audioengines into my final choice via preamp and I hear the D is better sounding than the DS also (not sure if this is a myth as they use similar parts?). So I kind of discounted the DS.

Personally I don't think it does the 650's justice at all. I end up spending too much time EQ ing to barely get the sound I like as opposed to enjoying the music. And as a result my Senns are spending more time gathering dust which is not on. The louder I crank the E9 the more underwhelmed I...

HI Tunblor   I have this problem intermittently and it has been driving me nuts for months. I have tried all sorts like yourself but it keeps coming back. The fact that you and others report the same issue suggets that it is a permanent problem.   My solution has been to decide to get...

Hi Altyx   There are more threads explaining about the fiio combo and your types of questions than any other bit of kit. Except possibly LCD headphones!  Do a search and all will be revealed....   But to help you from my basic fiio experiences:   I notice that changing the volume or...

I appreciate your 2 cents weipim. Thanks for putting me out of my misery! hehehe   Its a funny old passion this one. Just when you think your on to a run of positives regarding a bit of gear there is a negative or concern to sow a seed a doubt. Even spending a grands worth of cash cannot...

Bump...   Hi,   No advice anyone? Or did I ask the wrong type of questions (or too many!!??) or has nobody had experience of both. No worries if not, it's just that its a big investment and I want to make the right choice.   I'm leaning towards the Burson at present.....   Cheers

Thanks for your advice Blablabla.   I notice there is a cambridge dac magic plus with a built in a headphone amp and bluetooth. Which is just within my price range. The intention is still as accompany the Lehmann but it may add extra versatility for around the home.   Thanks again!

Hi   Any suggestions please as to what might be a good stand alone DAC to pair with the BCL to avoid getting the BCL USB DAC, for about the same cost difference as the latter usb model? In the uK this would mean £300 for the DAC. I hear this is a possibly a better way to go for sound...

I have fiio E7 & E9 running on windows 7 64bit. Just did the stereo test and all is fine.

Hi   I have heard (on headfonia i think) that as a combo the E17 reduces the mids somewhat. Seeing as I have D7000 i have decided not to upgrade. However as an portable amp (same article) the E17 is better.   All other peoples opinions though....

Hi All,   I couldn't find a thread comparing these 2 similar (ish) SS amps so I thought I would ask.   I am thinking about purchasing 1 of these as an upgrade to my Fiio E9 / E7 combo. I use HD650  and D7000 headphones.   Has anyone had the privilege to compare these 2 units?  ...
