    Wanted: wireless headphone recommendation

    I'm looking for a wireless headphone to listen to music on ipod classic. I have the main setup with Denon d7000 and amps. This one is to go lighter on the road but with the similar sound signature. Are all wireless ones are closed? I want it to be closed so that it won't leak sound.

    AF V-DAC vs DACPort LX for Denon D7000

    So, my search for matching DAC comes down to vDAC vs DACPort LX (I don't need amp as I have Burson for that, and I don't intend to move my system around)   At this point, any of your opinion comparing the two will be appreciated, especially in the context of D7000 which is very sweet dynamic...

    USB powered DAC and bass

    I read that USB powered DACs lacks in bass. How much of this is true? I mostly heard that for dacport, btw.

    USB DAC recommendation

    Id like to have some USB DAC recommendation. As I have powerful amp with punchy headphone, I want a neutral DAC. Also, good jitter handling is a high priority for me. How's little dot DAC 1 or Pico? Is there a better one with more recent chips? My price point is $300 or lower.

    Starter's headphone map

    While I'm no where near an expert, I've spent enough time to get some ideas on how the things are.  Of course, there is a certain level of generalization I've done to make the points, but in overall, I think, it make sense.   Those who are new to this hobby if you think about where you fit...

    Music and better gears

    I have updated to high resolution gears over this year, and certainly some music sound amazing.  Having said that, it is also true that some music that I used to love sounds pretty terrible.  The music is the same but unlike earbuds, high resolution headphones bring out more details for better...

    Are you happier now?

    I have started this hobby with Sony 7506 $80 headphones thinking it should be better than Apple In-Ear.  Many headphones and many hundreds of dollars since I have went through.  I'm awaiting D7000 to arrive next week, which over 8 times the cost of what I started with.   I've seen plenty of...

    HD598 and D2000 vs D7000

    I currently have HD598 and D2000 and pretty happy with them. However, I'm also curious of D7000 as I like D2000 a lot. Would it be a mistake to sell those two to get just D7000? My main is D2000 and HD598 is for live or acoustics music.

    Upgrader's status of mind

    I was thinking that the reason why people upgrade is to find something that they don't have now.  I'm pretty content with my HD598 and D2000 combo to cover my music.  However, I thought today that it will be nice if there is a headphone that has the advantages of the two: smooth live sound with...

    Where is your point of diminishing returns?

    I spent over $600 to setup my current system and expect to spend a few hundred more for a DAC. I think I won't get a significant upgrade without spending at least twice more compared to my current system. So, this is my point of diminishing return for headphone systems. I'm curious where you...

    What latest CDs do you listen to?

    I live in the past where 90% of my music are from the 20th century. What are you listening to among the latest albums/CDs? I like acoustic/rock/jazz music myself.

    Changing characteristics of phones with music

    I'm starting to wonder if you listen to say bass heavy music a lot compared to classical music with the same headphones, you may end up with different characteristics. What do you think? It may explain some of inconsistent opinions on the same model of headphones which seem common here.

    My early impression of Denon AH-D2000

    If you know enough about this headphone to form your own opinion on D2000, this thread is probably not for you. I recently purchased a D2000, and this headpone was very intriguing to me in many ways. I've seen people comparing this to $120 M50 to $500 HD650. I've heard people calling this...

    Portable player back to basic

    i thought it will be nice to have a portable dedicated music player like how iPod originally was. No videos, apps, or games, or even wifi, but top sq with LOD, optical and USB DAC out and all digital format supported including 24bit/96hz format. I'd like believe there is a market for it me...

    M50 vs D2000: bass slam and midrange edition

    I've read through many previous threads on the comparison between the two phones.  One thing that I couldn't get clear idea out of was which one has more bass slam and less recessed midrange, although those two may be mutually exclusive to each other features.  Speaking of bass, I'm not talking...

    How much difference good DAC makes?

    I know good source and headphones make the biggest difference in sound quality. I've just added Little Dot I+ to my chain, and noticed the difference.  That led me to wonder how much of difference I can expect out of dedicated external DACs.    Would I be able to tell the difference between...

    Pico DAC/amp vs Pico DAC + Little Dot I+

    I have Little Dot I+ with Sennheiser HD598.  I'm pretty happy with the sound however, I want to consider adding a dedicated DAC to my chain as I'm not thrilled with iPad's internal DAC.   Between Pico DAC/amp and Pico DAC + Little Dot I+, which one do you recommend me to go with?  Does Pico...

    Anyone With iPad, camera kit, fiiO E7, and Little Dot I+?

    I think that will be my final setup. I've got iPad, Little Dot I+, and Senns HD598. While it sounds great already, I'm considering E7 DAC as a finishing touch. Before spending another $130, I'd like ask others with this exact setup for their opinion of the SQ.

    little dot I+ problem

    I have a new little dot I+ that worked an hour ago and no sound now. The blue light comes on, though. Any way, I want to check fuse, but can't figure out how to open the damn fuse cover. Can you tell me how to open it, please? I don't want to rip open...

    LOD vs headphone out

    I'm using iPad, and everyone said that LOD is much better than headphone out.  While I'm waiting for my LOD, I'm using headphone out and was told that I need to use 75-90% of the max volume.  Is that mean that LOD volume level is that high as well?  If so, is it going through amplification as...

    A noob's question regarding impedance and speakers and headphones

    Back when I was shopping around speakers, I was often told that 4ohm speakers are harder to drive then typical 8ohm speakers as they need more current.   In the headphone land, I've heard that headphones with high impedance such as 300ohm is harder to drive for small devices.  What am I...
