Under $300, is there another desktop headphone amp with more power and overall versatility than the NFB 15.1?   I don't own the NFB15.1, but I'm looking at buying one. Ideally, I'd like a DAC/Amp combo under $300 that will have plenty of power to drive any dynamic headphone I throw at it...

Has anyone been able to compare a wood-housed magnum V4 to a stock Grado RS2i? What kind of sonic similarities and differences do they share? Which is "better" in your estimation?

I'm interested in picking up an open-backed headphone that pairs great with Trance and other Electronic. Seeing as maybe 50% of my listening is Trance, I thought it might be a good investment. Already have Grados for other genres, and I'm completely satisfied with them. I even enjoy them for...

Has anyone had the privilege to directly compare each and every headphone in the Grado Prestige Series? If so, which model is your favorite sounding headphone?   I have recently had the opportunity, and I was very surprised to find that I most enjoyed the SR125i. I thought it was slightly...

I recently ordered the SR60i for testing purposes, to see if I could recommend it to friends with confidence. To my surprise, they sound really great compared to the SR225i and SR325i I have. In fact, I think I even may prefer the SR60i to the SR225i and SR325i. What's going on here!? Has...

I'm using Grado SR325is. I own the NuForce Icon HD, but from some of my recent research it seems the HD's ~250 mW output at 32 Ohms might not exactly take full advantage of the SR325is. Would the HD / Schiit Asgard be a competent combo for SR325is? Or should I ditch the HD and Asgard idea...

Can the NuForce Icon HDP's amplifier sufficiently drive the HE500? I have the Icon HD (same DAC / amp as the HDP, fewer features) and I have the cash to drop on $700 headphones. I've been thinking about the HE500, but was concerned about my only available amp - Icon HD. I heard somewhere that...

I need a bit of help picking out a reasonably priced headphone amp & DAC, seeing as I listen to my music solely on my computer. I'm sporting Grado SR325i's, and I've done a bit of research on the NuForce Icon HDP and the Yulong D100 MKII, both of which are in my price range. However, since I'm...

I'm relatively new to amps and DACs. But I've done some research, and I can't seem to get a consensus on which unit is the better unit for my setup.   I listen to music exclusively on my computer. I'm just looking for a USB amp/DAC that is fairly compact, so I'd prefer a single unit. I've...
