    Safe Listening Levels: Denon AH-D600 + Schiit Modi

    Yep, the headphones are really lightweight and the aesthetics are nice as well. I must have a huge head then because I pull it down a notch :P.   I think I'm gonna pull the trigger and grab a Pro 900, I need that "mid bass punch". These are great headphones (sub-bass is phenomenal), but in...

    Safe Listening Levels: Denon AH-D600 + Schiit Modi

    Alright, thanks for all the help. One last question, if you don't mind, have you had a listen to the ultrasone line? Thinking of picking up a Pro 900 as well and was wondering how different the sound would be between the two.   PS: is it me or does the frame/ headband seem really flimsy? I...

    Safe Listening Levels: Denon AH-D600 + Schiit Modi

    Unfortunately, I don't have an Iphone (android guy). You described my listening style exactly, haha, I couldn't agree more. These headphones seem quite quiet and so I do turn it up a bit, I was just scared I could potentially be damaging them.    Since I use these cans for home use only, how...

    Safe Listening Levels: Denon AH-D600 + Schiit Modi

    okay thank you very much. Unfortunately, I already plugged in my speakers quite a few times, they were never turned up, just for watching tv shows. Will the damage be done immediately or through sustained use (I will obviously stop now).

    Safe Listening Levels: Denon AH-D600 + Schiit Modi

    Hello everyone,   So I just picked up a pair of Denon AH-D600 and the Schiit Magni and was just wondering what the safe levels of listening should be. Since these cans have a very low impedance (25 ohms), would turning up the amp (half way) damage the headphones?    Denon AHD600 Maximum...

    DAC/AMP for Denon AH-D600

    Hey,   So I will be receiving my pair of Denon AH-D600 sometime this week and now was shopping around for a DAC and Amp. My budget is $200-250 and I would prefer to grab the equipment from Amazon. I have a Asus Xonar DX in my gaming pc and was wondering if I should still use it in my setup (is...

    Ultrasone 900, Denon D2k or Ultrasone 650+amp

    Well thanks to everyone who helped out on this post. In case anyone is curious I am most likely going to be purchasing the HiFiMan He-400. Amazing how things can turn out

    Ultrasone 900, Denon D2k or Ultrasone 650+amp

    Yea thanks for the input, I'm not gonna lie I'm still very tempted to get the 'sones. However, its a very divided set of cans. You wither hate it or love it . For my first true step into The hi if world and with so Mich money on the line; I'm not sure I want to risk a bad purchase. Thank you though

    Ultrasone 900, Denon D2k or Ultrasone 650+amp

    Quote: Yea, unfortunately it seems my options are becoming more limited. The prices on the ultrasones have been raised to $550 so I am edging towards the HiFiMan he400. I am curious about peoples' experience with the PSB M4U2 or possibly the Ultrasone 650,

    Ultrasone 900, Denon D2k or Ultrasone 650+amp

    Sorry to throw another wrench into the discussion, but has anyone had any experience with or heard anything about the PSB M4U2? they retail for $350 from a local shop.

    Ultrasone 900, Denon D2k or Ultrasone 650+amp

    Sorry, I hate to drag this along for so long, but Canada sucks for audio gear and there are limited resources in terms of being able to sample some cans.You guys are my saviours :D In the higher frequency range, do the ultrasones get screechy? That is seeming to be the consensus. I think I am...

    Ultrasone 900, Denon D2k or Ultrasone 650+amp

    I am reading up more on the HiFiMan-400 and I like what I am seeing. It tends to lean towards the warm side, I'm not really looking g for neutral sounding. And if I'm correct in thinking open Air cans typically have better soundstage. However, how is the bass response for house/electronic/ edm...

    Ultrasone 900, Denon D2k or Ultrasone 650+amp

    Currently, the prices are as follows, but may be subject to change. Ultrasone 650-$200+ tax, ultrasone 900-$350-400, D2k- currently out of stock possibly $500-600ish. For DAC/amp I'm leaning towards the fiio eo9 (?) The one with the large knob and docking bay or possibly The JDS o2, or based on...

    Ultrasone 900, Denon D2k or Ultrasone 650+amp

    Unfortunately, it does not look likely that I will be able to get the Denton D2k as the prices are in the $450+ range. So w/o having a chance to look over Mall's recommendations due to a lack of time, it is currently a toss up between the Pro 650 or 900. Also, any advice and possible DAC/amp...

    Ultrasone 900, Denon D2k or Ultrasone 650+amp

    The cans will essentially be for home use so isolation is not a huge concern. As for tweaking I'm not adverse to it. IG depends on what you mean by that. Something like the keez mod (cover a few holes with felt tape) is simple enough for me.

    Ultrasone 900, Denon D2k or Ultrasone 650+amp

    If I can't get a hold of the Denton D2k, is the Pro 900 a worthy contender or should I avoid it like the plague ? From what I have heard, the keez mod and a decent DAC/amp can tame the harsh highs. It is 4am here, but I will read up om your recommendations in the morning.

    Ultrasone 900, Denon D2k or Ultrasone 650+amp

    Yes, I was talking about the ultrasone 650, maybe its a Canadian version of the 550(?) I saw it on amazon and eBay. Well unfortunately the D2k I was eyeing sold for 280 and the only ones I can find are $400-500. This is essentially maxing out my budget. Would you guys still recommend it? I can...
