I'm going to revive this, currently have dt 880 600ohm was thinking about getting the LD mkIII but would need a DAC the one I currently have its an AMP/DAC combo not sure it will suffice as there is no DAC pass through without the headphone amp. What are some 2014 options if any different 

I can the mdr-zx700 for under 100$ shipped here in Canada and the KRk for150 before taxes would you say that's good? And how confortable are they? I've read that some people find the headband fairly unconfortable. This is my first time hearing of this company so I'm not too sure what they are like

Thanks for a quick reply! They look pretty good, I like the detachable chord. A little on the pricey end coming in around 225, but I think I have it down to the ZX700 and downtown and K271 MKII. Also forgot to mention that most of my music is in apple lossless if you think that matters. But the...

Hello all, I have been looking into getting some new headphones for a while and I am turning to the more experienced over here at headfi. So this is what I'm looking forward to, a headphone that can also serve as portable commuting headphone but still confortable to be used at home for long...

Yeah I ended up opting for the TP30 with the built in DAC and this gave me 2 outputs, one for the pc and one for my ps3 at my desk to use with my monitor. This is my first amp so not much to say about it, the headphone amp seems pretty good to start out with, adds a bit more punchy bass and...

Hello,    I would like to add a sub to my existing set up for a bit better low end. Currently this is how my setup goes, Topping TP-30 amp to a pair of PSB speakers. I was thinking of getting the Paradium PDR10 as its on sale for a closing sale and in my price range. So I was wondering how...

Hi,  I'm new to the audio set ups. I was looking to getting a new desktop amp to power some bookshelf speakers. I was thinking about the topping tp31 since I has a built in DAC, Amp and headphone amp. But I was concerned the internal DAC might not be the best, but it is very compact and I like...

And this is a little off topic, but what pros or cons do adding banana plugs or the like to an amp and the speaker do to benefit. I have always just connected speaker wire directly to the components.

Thanks for the replys, I found a seller on ebay that I can get the topping for about $70. The speakers fancypantoloons listed all, minus polks are all up around 200$ since they'd all have to be imported. And so any other suggestions?

Yeah sorry wrong speaker, the polks were the lower end RTi-6. I was gonna hold out for the PSBs, but still unsure on what t-amp to pair them with, don't need too much power just for room music and movies, and maybe turn them up on weeks for some fun. But these would be my first serious speakers...

Thanks for the reply, I think you miss understood the Audioengine p4 were 200$, 60$ off, so after tax and shipping around 220$. I checked my local kijiji listing and there was a pair of PSB Alpha B1 for 150$ and a Polk RTi A1 for 140$. I might have a chance to get the PSB as someone already...

But that would be fairly loud since its 50wpc. What would be your opinion on the audioengine A5 found them lightly used 3month old ones bargained down to $260. Like in terms which one either the amp and bookshelf vs the A5 do you think is better?

bump?

This will my first good set up to be used at my desk for music, movies and some games. I originally thought about getting the audioengine A2 due to the size, however while searching for prices I noticed that a website had the Audioengine p4 passive speakers for 60$ dollars putting them at the...
