What's the cheapest amp that won't make these sound terrible? Do you get enough volume out of a normal DAP?

Huh, turns out I have the High Edition:     So, what amp? :P Aune T1?

Hey, so once again for only classical music (all types):   DT880 HD580 (With HD600 grills) FA-011   From most expensive to least.

Quote: Would you say the M-Stage is worth an extra $50 over the E12? $190 used for the M-Stage is pretty good right?

How well do these scale with amplification? Considering getting a O2 or E12 for them.

Hey thanks for all the replies, will come in handy in the future. Right now, between these headphones for purely classical music:   K601 AD900X K501   From least expensive to most.   Thanks :D

Lowered my budget. Phonak Audeo PFE 012 with gray tips RE-400 Yuin PK1 From most expensive to least. I have small ear canals.

Double post

Btw, I don't mind earbuds as well, perhaps the Yuin PK2 or Sunrise Audio Dragon2?

My biggest issue with the FA-003 is the closed soundstage. Not surprising considering it is closed. :P BUT, I do prefer a more on-stage SS, as that's how I'm used to listening to orchestra music. (I'm in a orchestra)   So between the: Fischer Audio DBA-02 MKII Phonak Audeo PFE 012 +...

Up for opinions

Thanks, I'll look into those.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I've upped my budget abit, so here are my choices now (from most expensive to least):   Fischer Audio DBA-02 MKII Phonak Audeo PFE 012 + extra gray and black filters Phonak Audeo PFE 112 (are the accessories worth the extra 40EU?) Etymotic HF5 Rockit...

xaval, thanks, probably not gonna get K701 due to the price. MS1000 as well. So HD 598 or AD900X? I can't get AD900, but there's a 2nd-hand AD900X that I'm waiting for. If that opens up I'll probably get that.   RustA,  unfortunately the HD800s are in a different universe for me. :P Both in...

Hmm, the thing is that the total cost of the MS1i plus MS1000 mod will be around 200EU. Although I could get the MS1i first and save up for the mod...   But is the MS100 on par with the K701 and HD598 for classical?

Lugbug1, Yeah that's what I read when I was planning to buy the DT880. I think the bright treble may have caused me to think that there was more detail when I heard it.   gtb123, PMed. :D   So how does the k701 fare with Cello?

Ah, the DT880 is what I wanted to get originally, but lack of funds got in the way. Unfortunately, like gtb123 said, I still can't afford it. Thanks for the tip about the K701 though.   gtb123, nice!  Where did you get your K701 and O2+ODAC?       Thanks Lugbug1, will get B-stock if I...

Hmm, I can get them for 205EU shipped from Thomann. That's a bit of a stretch for my budget though. If I can sell my FA-003 I may consider it, since I have no need for isolation now. Is buying a B-stock item ok? Also, a O2 should drive them fine, right?

I'm also considering MS1i's locally (to be modded to MS1000).   I'm a cellist so the timbre of the cello is very important.

Hey everyone, looking to get some open headphones to complement my FA-003 since my biggest issue with them is the small soundstage.   I have 2 ways to buy them: get my sister to bring them back from Austria during summer break, so from EU or buying the locally (Malaysia)   I listen to...

Bump

Thanks alot for your reply.   So now it's a toss-up between the RE-400 (~100$) Beyerdynamic XP3 (~75$) and G2A (~50$).   Help?

So between the RE0, Rain, SE215 and FXD80 what would you recommend?

Great, thanks for the reply. How's the Thinksound Rain compared to the RE0? (RE-ZERO may not be available for me)

Hey, looking for some portable earphones to compliment my FA-003. The 003 is just way to bulky to travel with (I have... twice) and I'm looking for something relatively cheap. Are the KSC-75 good for classical? They seem like must haves :P   I was also looking at the RE0, RE-ZERO, Image S4...
