    Former Denon D5000/D7000 Owners

    I briefly (1-2 months) had the D2000/D5000/D7000 series of headphones but ultimately didn't hold on to any of them (returned or sold). There is something about the sound signature that caused me to be totally indecisive as to whether I liked the D5000/D7000 enough to keep either one. At one...

    Desktop amp and 600 ohm headphones?

    Just want to make sure that the Headroom Desktop amp with desktop power supply can sufficiently power the beyerdynamic 600 ohm headphones, or would it be better to go with the 250 ohm version of the DT880? Anyone have experience using this amp with the 600 ohm versions of the beyerdynamics...

    K.I.C.A.S. Caliente for D7000?

    I'm interested in the Caliente because I've read that it's a good tube alternative for the HD650. I also read in some review that it did pretty well with the Denon D5000. Has anyone tried the Caliente with the Denon D7000?

    Toshiba HD-XA2 CD quality?

    This HD-DVD player supposedly uses 12x Wolfson 8740 DAC for its analog output. Does anyone know if this player is considered to be a good CD source, and what traditional CD player would it be comparable to?

    Desktop Upgrade

    I have a 2005 Desktop amp (12/12/2005 build) with Home electronics module + Home DAC powered by a DPS. It looks like sometime in 2006 the Home electronics & DAC modules were both improved to use diamond buffers and increased Class-A bias. I'm thinking of trying out the Denon AH-D5000 as a...

    How do you ship stuff to others?

    Just curious, do most of you just use the postal system, or go to a UPS Store or FedEx Kinko's, or have UPS/FedEX pick up from your door? In the past I've used Kinko's and UPS Store, but I think their rates are a little higher than going through UPS/FedEX directly.

    MicroStack, HD650, amp upgrade?

    How many of you are using the MicroStack (or just Micro amp w/DM) with HD650? My new HD650's have had only 48 hours of continuous burn-in, and so far, I like what I hear. Nice alternative to my lively DT-990's...definitely keeping them. Now I know what everyone means when they mention the...

    Other than enhancing their physical appearance, what are the main advantages of getting a pair of DT990 Pro woodied and/or recabled by Headphile? Will the sound drastically change?

    HD650 compared to DT990?

    I have the Beyer DT990 Pro's (250 ohm). Pretty happy with them right now, although I feel the only thing lacking is its midrange performance (happy with the bass and now the higher frequencies are smooth and detailed after couple week's burn-in). I was wondering, how does the Senn HD650...

    Amp for DT990 Pro under $1000?

    What is the best (in terms of synergy) solid state amp under $1000 for the DT990 Pro? Cost should be inclusive of any recommended power supply. Here are the ones that I have read the most about in this forum, though there are not too many posts regarding the DT990 Pro: a) RSA HR-2 (which...

    Comparison of HeadRoom Amp + DAC combos

    Would there be a noticeable sonic difference between the following: a) Micro Stack b) Desktop (standard desktop module) + desktop DAC c) Desktop (standard desktop module) + Home DAC I'm currently using Micro w/Desktop + iPod lineout + DT990 Pro. I'm thinking of eliminating the iPod and...

    Recommendation at $250 level - Beyer/Senn?

    Been lurking around here for a while, finally decided to start investing. I just bought a Headroom Micro w/Desktop module, and will primarily be using an iPod line-out as the source (AAC some 128, mostly 256-384kbps). Might occasionally use a Pioneer Elite DVD player or other mid-fi CD player...

    Sonic difference between XP-7 and HR-2?

    Noob here, ready to finally purchase my first headphone amp. Been lurking around trying to get as much info as possible on the different products available. I will be using the amp with low-to-mid-fi sources (laptop with Xitel USB audio and Pioneer Elite DVD player) and I realize that I need to...
