hi, thanks for that x2 suggestion, will keep it in mind.   I should add that most of the listening I do is live performances of indie rock bands, some electro sometimes, but generally I go for live performances. Not necessarily arenas/stadiums, more like studio and festival performances.

hi all,   got a pair of hd 600 senns and a audio gd fun dac. and I just was impressed by an iphone w/ headphones :|   so I guess I like the more depth I get from those in-ear iphone headphones   can I get that depth from an over-ear headphone?

The only connection between the dac and the computer is via USB. So how come I can adjust the volume from the flash players?

Hi everyone So I'm usign an Audio-GD dac as part of my rig. It is connected via USB to my sound card and, as expected, I cannot change the volume of what is playing from Window's volume button in the system tray. What I don't understand is why I can do this from various flash players...

You've hit the nail in the head: one album straight from laptop and my ears scream "no more!!". Can't wait for the audio gd to get here...

Understood. Thanks for the feedback  

Nothing at the moment, headphones plugged straight into laptop... I should receive an Audio GD Fun this week. I feel like a reply is coming my way: "put the headphones away until you get the amp"  

It's my second night with my new HD600s and I would like to drop my humble opinion in a few lines. First thing I should say: I'm coming from RS 170 (sennheiser, wireless), so this is or at least should be a major step forward. Second thing: I listen directly from my laptop, FLACs, mostly indie...

Nice, that means I'm two posts away from being able to set a proper avatar to my account. Oops, one actually :P

Based on what I've been reading lately, it has come down to choosing between the Fiio E9 and Little Dot MKii. Again, this is an amp that I will use with the HD650. I would appreciate any feedback related to my choices.

@stv014: I sincerely appreciate your feedback. Will go for the 650 + a good amp once I manage to sell my RS170s. Cheers!

Thank you all for your suggestions. In terms of desktop amps I now have several contenders to read on and decide.

Hi. I have the same problem with my RS170. I switched the attenuator on the transmitter but the hiss was still there. No change.

Joe, thanks for letting me know.

Hi Joe I've just joined the community, and I can't edit my profile. Please help. Thanks in advance.

NA Blur, would I need anything between the Q701/HD650 and the STX, or can the sound card do a good job by itself?  

Hi everyone. I love listening to my indie FLACs whenever I get the chance and, for the past year, I've been using the RS 170. The hiss has been a problem all this time. Recently I had the opportunity to test several headphones all playing the same audio and I was stunned by the HD 650. Before I...
