Hello, after ~10 years (jeez it's already almost 10 years) of happiness with my Fiio E09K/E17 combo paired mostly with the HD 650, I have decided to revamp my headphone lineup and bought a pair of Hifiman Sundara. I spent the same money for the two headphones, 10 years apart, but was impressed...- marcookie

New HTC One M8 audio review
It's a logaritmic plot, not a linear one. So that drop is around 20 kHz, not 11 kHz. Sound quality should be amazing.- marcookie

Amp for AKG K240s 55 ohm???
Theoretically, you don't need a lot of power for 55ohms headphones, so you may start with only dac, that . Obviuosly wait for a confirmation, you may need anyway some amp to connect you're headphone. If you're listening from a common laptop now, you'll see (hear) a huge improvement with...- marcookie

My laptop sound card is pretty awful compared to my samsung galaxy S3 or to any apple device. I'm quite a...- marcookie
