hey guys im looking for a desktop amp around the 100$-150$ range with a 6.5mm headphone input and can drive the sennheiser hd 598. =)

Bought the fiio combo, seemed like the most options for fair price

anymore suggestions?

deos the uDAC 2 give also good bass? Most of my music is Hip Hop/ Bass music

What about the Audiotrak Prodigy Cube, nuForce uDAC 2, AUNE Mini USB DAC and ianYun DAC Headphone AMP? Which are best withing these?

Whats the Best DAC/Amp I can get for 200$? Im buying a amp to drive my Denon AH-D2000s.

So whats the best amp/DAC I can get for 250$ max?

my skullcandy skullcrushers arent so sibilant but they arent very clear either and my Klipse Image S4s arent sibilant but they got lots of line noise. Also the image s4 dont need high volume to power them (volume 60-70 on my laptop opposed to 80-90 for the Denons). could it b the laptop amp...

I dont find the treble too much, its just sibilant, an S isnt that high in frequency. Ive played tracks with higher frequencys and they sound fantastic, idk what to think anymore.

Quote: Its a bit sibilant so whats causing this is my laptop sound card? What DAC/AMP do you suggest at 250$ max.

Then why were hundreds of people saying these were the best, best bang for the buck and praised them? The only reason I bought these was cause of the great reviews. Do yours produce sibilance aswell?

all songs have the sibilance, try Suzie McNeil - Supergirl. Theres noway its the quality, I have almost all my 1400 songs at 320 kbps and I have lossless audio files.

I might also go for the asgard but it will have to hook up with aux to rcas, wont it run like **** if its getting the audio signal from my laptop?

Ive seen lots DAC/headphone amp units, any u guys suggest for the denon? Will any amp or DAC clear out the vocal hissing? I find it very hard to beleive a 250$ headphone to have a hissing problem.

and I really want a amp that drives the denons and ease the vocal problem

I have a big enough budget, i was hoping to find a amp/dac that would plug into the wall rather than use power from usb, I am running a laptop after all. I dont think the power supply would handle it.

the denons are quiet on my laptop, volume 90 and still not lively. and the vocals are hissing and idk why.

Hey guys, Im stepping into the audiophile scene and need advice because i dont know anything lol, I recently purchased Denon AH-D2000 headphones and run them directly to my laptop but when the vocals hit, they start hissing when the singer says a S word. Its really bad when a female singer...
