im pretty happy with mine driving my ls50s, but i have little experience with other amps/dacs so cant do any comparisons

i thought it looked more dynamic due to the exhaust thingy.. looks really interesting though

Quote: which shop has it?  

I've only heard both through a lyr. i feel that the in terms of detail, the he6 is better, not saying the he500 is not good in this area, which it most certainly is. the midrange of the he6 i find is slightly less warm and musical then the he500, which may be a slight put of to some as it sounds...

i believe a good dac should not color the sound. maybe check out the schiit bifrost?

get the lcd2, much better centre image, the hd650 is nonexistent. hd650 is also very veiled compared to lcd2

Quote: true, haha i would say its worth a shot though!  

  Quote: yea interested on this as well! wondering whether it was better...and the differences in sound of course:)  

i think its real, the fake ones don't have the tm most of the time...

i heard the dt1350 and the t70. i feel that the dt1350 would be a downgrade or side grade, soundstage is a lot smaller and detail is quite a lot worse. the t70 would be a much better, its quite airy for a close headphone, although most ppl do agree that it is not a very full sounding headphone.

i think u should get the ms1i and the mod it into a ms1000. the soundstage in the ms1000i is huge and is quite suitable for classical music:) however, if u don't want to do any diy work i suggest u to stay away from the ms1i as it is a rock orientated headphone and honestly fairs quite terribly...

saw the bravo audio amp in jaben the other day, didn't look like much so i didn't give it a try>< 

haha i thought this was a hd700 thread^^ if u like soundstage go get speakers hehe. personally I'm thinking of getting the mini maggie system. extremely impressive for a under 1.5k speakers!

i think the most comfortable headphones are the hd800, though obviously way outta budget.. I'm not sure bout one for a budget of up to $100, the cheapest most comfortable headphone i know is the k701

Quote: haha thats true^^ i might just order a new usb cable to see if it improves the sound:)

hi!   im gonna get the miracles soon, so i would very much like to get the hisound studio or rocco p! i very much hope i can get the offer cus finances would be tight for me after purchasing the miracles... i heard both players are very good so i would like to give them a try and hopefully...

Quote: cool, hope to hear impressions soon!    

i don't think it will be better in EVERY way but at least most. the detail level would be a lot better and the bass texture and mids would be better as well. the only thing u may find to be not much of an improvement would be soundstage. ortho are generally not known for really good sound staging

just saw this on the head direct website! going for 349 atm, hope this will be a great product!

wow looks interesting! wonder how it compares to the he500

Quote: if u like soundstage wa6se is a lot better. if u like prat burson and bass slam burson is better. 

Quote: i guess thats better than blindly jumping on the bandwagon  

i think i saw one on the trade forums couple of days back... i would like to get some also if i decide to build a magnum
