After some research, am i right to say that the headroom balanced desktop amp + dac option is the cheapest balanced setup i can get? I am curious as to how it would compare to a Lavry da10 used both as a dac and amp. If the da10 comes really close, i might consider buying that first, then...

Just got a second hand MKIII. It was cheap so i couldnt hold back my curiousity I am pleasantly surprised by this amp. First impressions (on a hd600) on gain setting 10 - its got ALOT more punch and amount of bass than the darkvoice 332, which was what i have been looking for all the while...

Supposing i could get any of them for around the same price, which would be the best match for senn hd600? using zero dac as source (opa627). Interested in making the hd600s slightly (just slightly) warmer maybe, and most importantly smoother mids and treble. Tighter and punchier bass won't...

I am on the verge of pulling the trigger on a pair of hd600s, I know i will love them and i will be very happy with how they sound, even if its just out of the Zero dac/amp. However i can get Aego M speakers for a rather good price (much cheaper) and i heard they are great for music, and are...

When updating my imac's OS and thus rendering itunes unusable for a couple of mins, just out of curiousity i plugged my dt880 (250ohms) into the ipod classic and see how they would sound. I was expecting a thin, shrill and blurred/harsh sound but i was VERY SURPRISED to smooth, well defined...

After listening to them for 1-2 hours now comparing them with my SA6(bass=/treble=), this is what i think. unamped out of ipod classic: RE1 - has bigger and better soundstage than SA6 (more 3D sounding) - has much better bass, both in quantity and impact/punch/definition/audibility than...

Just got the sleek SA6s today. I also considered the um2/super fi 5 pro and auditioned them for abit at a local shop. Source was 80gb ipod classic. These were my impressions (with bass=/treble= on SA6): Soundstage: I liked um2's soundstage the most. Sounded like being in a big...

From where i'm at, I can get the MKIV at 300US get the 336i at 360US Now the question is... which has better synergy with DT880? 1) If its the MKIV then no problems here, since its cheaper. 2) If its the 336i is it really significantly better than the MKIV (with the dt880) to...

Of course hd650 sounds much better in many aspects but the sound signature, as well as how some instruments/vocals sound for these two are surprisingly similar to me. Anyone ever thought of the same thing? Or maybe its just me.

If i'm not wrong senn recently released new IEM earphones named CX 300. Anyone has any info on them (how they sound, price etc). Are they OEMs of some other brand of earphones (sharp MD33 anyone?) or are they a new product by sennheiser themselves?

Hi all, i'm still a newbie when it comes to headphones. Sometime ago i bought a set of panasonic hje50s which showed me how much i was missing from my music by using bass bloated muddy sony earbuds. Then the right speaker of my computer speaker system went dead, and out of some impulse and...

Hi all, this is my first post here, i come from singapore and i'd really like to get the radioshack foamies for my mx500, but i have no idea where to buy them here in singapore. Radioshack doesnt ship to singapore so i cant buy directly from them, and its also kinda expensive to pay for...
