Well I finally received my DP-X1 a few weeks back. Slowly I am getting equipped to listen to it. I have some SE535 burning in. I have had the craziest luck with it though. Even my old Sennheisers sound extremely good in single ended listening. The Shures are starting to sound better with a Linum...

Surely someone has the same listening taste as I do?? The Jazz and classical music is where the details mostly are needed. 

Bump for help.

I am having trouble finding the right sound and a way to explain what I am looking for. I have the DP-X1 and have ordered Shure SE535 and I think they may work. My problem I need help with is finding something that can take the balanced output and sound good in the highs. I want to hear the...

Thanks masterpfa. I have someone working on cable for oppo PM-3 cable. I will look into Shure. Any idea if Hifiman, or Audio Technica, Sennheiser have a good set? I love the Sennheisers I have but that may be the DAP and its only single ended. I can not imagine the difference balanced. I just...

Just a quick question about balanced in ear. What is needed and what brands would sound good under $400? Do I need a special set for the DP-X1? I like my Sennheiser CX 485 single ended. I am waiting on a balanced cable for OPPO PM-3 to be made. I would like a pair of reasonably priced in ears...

Thank you Whitigir. I will be getting that PM3 and cable in place. I have plenty of headphones for myself but I have never used the balanced. I have been trudging along with an old iPod and changing headphones amp but its a desktop thinking it just did not sound great. So I am off to check into...

Well I guess no one had a good answer. I decided on the Onkyo DP-X1.

Just a question if someone could help. I just ordered the DP-X1. But are the balanced headphones something special? What are some models to look at? I will go back through this but did not find this thread until after buying the DAP.

Any ideas on if one has better features or sounds better works easier?

I have a problem with not really knowing what I need exactly. I would like Tidal eventually, HiDef, MQA maybe.   Is Wifi needed? Is Bluetooth on most DAPs? I would like a digital out.   Smaller is better but lots of storage is nice also.   If the listed DAPs don't do something or another...

Ok I guess I missed that sorry scratch those then. No audeze no he-500.

Just curious for info to get a new set of cans. I have denon D5000 with Meier stepdance which Sounds perfect. I have a schiit LYR sounds very good more smooth heavier bass. I would like a set of cans that have the very best mids and highs for the money $200-$600 but not lack bass. I will be...

I need help I will be using for now denon d5000 headphones. Later i am going to something else akg hifiman audeze sennheiser beyerdynamics this is unsure. I just need to know which cables to get the most from this setup. Do I need single ended balanced or what cable? Will I need a headphone...

My first experience with them was very pleasant. I have not been able to get the pieces $$$ but all of my e-mails have been answered with quickness and politeness. I will say it seemed personal and helpful and theres a lot of good in that. I really think the spam blocker situation on all...

Ha HA HA I am in the same boat waiting on my LYR to ship I bought a meier Stepdance from a forum member. Outstanding is all I can say now my LYR has shipped so I am wondering if the desktop is going to be that much better. My Stepdance has turned my good headphones into outstanding headphones...

My question is would the Algorythm Solo bring the quality up? I am listening through an ipad I thought would not sound good but it sounds very good to the stepdance then into my denons. The Solo seems to be the only way to get the digital out of an ipad. Any help or guidance would be great.

I actually found a meet about 5 hours away and hope that I can get there this weekend. I have to say my Denons are getting pretty sweet. I hooked them up straight to my ipod and I almost fell over they sounded so good with no amp. Could any one give me a clue what kind of portable amp will make...

My son and I will be coming from Midland. I was trying to bring my new LYR but sadly it looks like it will not be ready.

How do I find meets I am afraid there are not any within a few hundred miles of me. Probably 4 or 5 hours if I could locate a list for them.

That is something I am going to need to deal with. I have to use the pc for two of these but what is a good source to play DVD-A SACD there are not but a few that I can even get same for DTS-audio. But I will need a good reasonable DVD player.What does a DAC need to decode all these sources is...

The DAC and getting one is a problem I will deal with in a few days or weeks. I am eyeballing a few but I need to see what sends the best to the LYR. I am going to get two more amps so maybe I can get something else later I like differently. I want a good tube and SS. But this LYR I think has my...

My Denons dont sound muffled they sound strong in the bass. I think before I make the decision I am plugging them into my DVD player HP jack. Out of my Denon DVD-1600 HP jack sounded not as lively but strong tighter bass so there is hope. I think I need to make a decision because I am not...

CEE TEE I thought you were joking but that is not bad. I just need something to keep them up and not scratched. I may try that.   BrucYSN I am not really sure if what I want is a Sennheiser or not but that sounds like something to look into later. I just hate to miss sounds in music and...

HA HA HA VERY funny!!! That was needed at this point. This stuff is so serious I needed that laugh.
