Sry for the random question but am I right that the moon audio black dragon cable with 3 pole 1/8" mini termination for hifiman should work for the ak240 output to the chord hugo coaxial input?

Saw these at a shop in the Hong Kong international airport priced at 39800* hkd. Even more expensive than stax Lol. They probably only have 1 set though. Didn't have the time to listen to it though...

How did your DAC testing go? =x

How is that so? Isit because the cables are too overpriced for the performance they give? I have seen positive reviews about the balancing cables though.

  Would try to audition those when they are available. By schiit's dealer do you mean audio iconic?   http://audioiconic.com/   Edit: Oh and also do you know if sennheiser are stocking up on the balanced cables? If not I would have to get 1 online.   Thanks for the advice, seems like...

@Dopaminer   Let me know your thoughts about the DAC ~   @Dubstep Girl   I'm hearing mixed reviews about the mytek so if I were to decide on that I think I would need to audition those 1st. Can't find these anywhere in my country though... (Yeah my country is sort of amp/dac unfriendly)...

Thanks for the inputs, But is the invicta's amp section on par with the gx mk2? And is the concero dac significantly better than the dac in the hdvd800? Well since if I'm going to wait for another year, right now I'm thinking of spending a little bit more for the schiit statement dac...

Well I thought the wait wouldn't be that long. I'm expecting like 5-6 months max o.o But if I have to wait to get better sound then I'm more than willing to do so. If that's the case, what suggestions do you have for the dac? I'm expecting to spend around $4-5k SGD which is around $4k+ish...

Like title says, deciding between these 2 combos:   1. HD800 + Headamp GS-X MK2 + ? DAC (considering a tube dac perhaps?)   2. HD800 + HDVD800   For option 1, I dont know what DAC I should get for the pairing, so I need suggestions.   As for option 2, it's convenient since I don't have...

Hi guys,   Recently got my new pair of headphones and been loving them.   Question is I'm finding an DAC/amp for portable use for my galaxy s3 or hme use with my pc with integrated soundcard. (realtek hd)   I'm currently looking at the Leckerton audio UHA-6S.MKII since the fiio e17...

Can't really comment on steelseries headphones but from my experience of "gaming headsets" for example my $70 plantronics headphone (which I still have), soundstage seems to be smaller and SQ also inferior to real audiophile headphones. Heard the razer tiamat 7.1 b4 and it sounds way too...

Quote: Did you actually change the pads to a900 ones? I heard the a900 ones wear out faster o.o   Anyways I just tried plugging my a900x directly into my panasonic lcd tv's headphone out, can't describe how amazing the sound was. It's way better than directly connecting to my pc and...

One headset is able to use for consoles/PC (support for USB and analog audio) the other shld be for PC only.   Alternatively you can check this thread if you haven't done so. (I'm assuming you're using the headsets for console gaming as well)  ...

Lol there's no such thing as "the best" in the audiophile world.   Different people have different tastes there's bound to be haters for a particular set of headphones.   Well if steelseries used "The best" to advertise their product I'm expecting a product like beats. (not implying that...

What music genres do you listen to?   I have the Audio Technica ATH A900x and pretty much enjoying them for music mainly classical, vocals, j-pop, k-pop (just to give you a rough idea of what music genres sound great on them) and games.   What I heard about the AKGs are they are better...

So today I just got my new Audio Technica ATH-A900x for around $295USD and am satisfied with these cans. They just suit my preferences so well. I'm new to this and I'm just purely stating my own honest opinion. So please go easy on me and pardon my not so professional/detailed explanations ><...

Quote: Yeah I usually won't like people to listen to my music, so isolation is a plus factor for me.   Hmm guess I need to go audition the k550 and a900x personally. There's a thread that actually complains about the upper mids of the k550s though. So I'm slightly leaning towards the...

Quote: Thx for the quick feedback. So isit unfair to actually compare the hd598 with the a900x? Since 1 is open and the other closed. But I have seen some people mentioned that the akg 550 being a closed headphone has almost the same soundstage as the hd598. Is that the case also for the a900x?

Quote: I'm going to drive them ampless and probably straight out from my galaxy s3 or my pc which has Creative PCI Express Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ soundcard (not very familiar with soundcards though)   P.s. I'm relatively new to these kind of stuffs   Edit: Oh and I might plan to get a...

Anyone knows how the hd 598 fares in performance against the a900x. Like in terms of bass, vocals, lows, mids and highs. Can't actually find a direct comparison between them since the a900x is relatively new and has not much reviews on it too. =/

Quote:   After reading your post I'm leaning more towards the audio technica a900x as some games that I play requires you to press according to the music beats. (e.g. something like guitar hero, O2 Jam etc.) Or does the AD 900 actually perform better in these sort of games as well? Hmmm...

First time posting here,   Just wanna seek some advice on my choice of headphones.   My Music Genres:   J-pop, K-pop, Classical and sometimes mainstream rock.   What traits I'm looking for:   - Well controlled bass.   - Good Vocals.   - Fits my music genres.   -...
