    Audio-GD NFB-11.32 & NFB-11 (2014) (Delivery & Impression Thread)!!!

    Hi, can anyone tell me if the low gain is suitable to drive iem on the nfb-11? I currently have a magni 1 and its gain is too high for my iem. I'm using Dita truth and DT880 250 ohms. Thank you guys! Really look forward to this unit if its capable of driving sensitive iem with playing volume on...

    Found my Westones 4 in the washer last night. Recommendations on an upgrade/alternative needed!

    Shure 535 red edition is around the price of Dita Audio Answer iem. I will pick "Answer" IEM over 535 red anytime. Do audition Answer IEM if you can. Simply astonishing for me.    Edit: I stay in Singapore, so 535 are more expensive over here than other parts of the world

    Recommendations for a pair of portable on ear, closed back phones

    Do consider sennheiser momentum. It has a very balance sound, detachable cable, and on-ear version. If u want more slightly more bass, while still remaining quite a balance headphone, you can opt for v-moda XS. These 2 are some of the best on-ear headphones i can think of that fits within your...

    Ps1000 is an over ear model fyi. It sounds freaking awesome to me. Just that it is quite heavy. haha

    ATH-M50 upgrade? HELP (urgent)

    Yeap. The grado series earpads are all interchangeable to over ear earpads. So even if you get an on-ear model, u can buy their bigger earpads which is for their over-ear model and fit onto the on-ear model. Although there will be some sonic changes to it. :)

    The need for amplifiers

    Thats usually the rule for headphones. :) But for IEMs they start to defer. Many multi BAs have extremely low impedance, while high sensitivity, which also makes it hard to drive. If plug directly to handphone, you might also hear hissing on top of not driving it to its fullest potential. :)

    Senn HD650 paired up with iFi Micro iDSD

    Reason why i said its not needed is becos idsd micro has a built-in "Ipurifier" and it also supposedly does a similar job to the iusb power. But i can't really remember if this was what it stated. U might want to contact IFI for more information regarding the ifi idsd micro

    Senn HD650 paired up with iFi Micro iDSD

    IUSB power is actually not needed for IFI IDSD micro. The improvement for sound quality is actually neglible if its even noticeable. Do try out the set if u can as YMMV with the IUSB power. Cheers!

    The need for amplifiers

    Amplifiers are needed when you have a high impedence , low sensitivity cans. Without amplifiers for these type of cans, you might not be able to drive it to satisfying volumes. For high impedence, high sensitivity cans, you might be able to drive it to loud volumes, but you might be losing...

    I need help finding a pair of headphones?

    Is portability important to you? If its not, do consider AKG k551 which is within your price range, inline mic, very balance sound, and superb comfort. Reason why i said its not portable is because its quite big imo, and non foldable. If you need something more portable with a balance sound...

    ATH-M50 upgrade? HELP (urgent)

    Hmm, imo u might not be driving ur dt880 correctly, but well, audio is afterall about personal perception :). Anyway, to me it seems like grados will fit ur description of how u like headphones to sound. Mid centric, good treble sparkle, energetic, good bass response, excellent clarity. Do...

    I need a 2nd pair of headphones

    +1 to Akg 550/551. Although 550/551 are full size cans and not as portable as your 451. If you need something similar size as 451, can consider V-moda XS. V-MODA XS is more coloured sounding than 451 or 550/551 though. It presents a different kind of sound than 451, with bass having more...

    Quick questiuon....will an Fiio E18 drive dt990 pro 250 ohm? (to satifaction)

    E18 is best used to drive headphones up till 150 ohms as stated on Fiio Specs sheet. U can get something more powerful if u want to drive dt990 effectively. U can consider Ifi idsd nano, which is also a portable dac/amp combo. IDSD nano is able to drive headphones up till 300 ohms (If my memory...

    Review of Audio Technica ATH-IM01, ATH-IM02, ATH-IM03, ATH-IM04, ATH-IM50, & ATH-IM70

    I find their silicon tips is still acceptable, but their comply is horrible. It sounds worse than silicon tips. I cant imagine why a tip that is supposedly to give better SQ is doing just the opposite of what it is intended.

    Review of Audio Technica ATH-IM01, ATH-IM02, ATH-IM03, ATH-IM04, ATH-IM50, & ATH-IM70

    do give it an audition if u have time as SQ is quite subjective. IMO, the vocals are not intimate, but rather more of upfront along with the treble. Vocals are very good and presents how it should sound. If you have listen to audio technica before, their best is definetely in the vocals...
