Regardless of which drivers they are, how do they sound? What did you end up doing?

I've had my geek out 450 for almost a week now. I find it to be great.     I primarily use my Mac's OS's volume control, and then the geek out's for small adjustments.    I'm glad I backed this kick starter. Cheers to the crew.      A beginners impressions:   Misses - to be quickly...

I could make that date. 

I would probably be able to contribute to this one if it's sometime late July. Audeze LCD-X, Beyerdynamic T5p, Schiit Gungnir & Vali, Woo WA-22, and some vinyl if anyone chimed into that.    I'll keep an eye on the thread to see if a date is made.    Nick

I'm really enjoying the Gungnir > Vali > LCD-X. The Vali is a massive step forward in SQ from my first headphone amp, the Pro-Ject Head Box S.    Comfortable volume around 8-9 o'clock.    I'm going to listen to my digital set up for a while and then put it over by the turntable for a bit.  ...

When I first had these I thought they were very uncomfortable. There was a pressure point right at the center of the head band that was so bothersome it was all I could think about.   After a couple weeks the material softened out, and I got used to the fit. Now the weight doesn't bother me at...

Real instruments, real music. Percussion, drums, and a vibraphone. 

I would highly recommend Sessions from the 17th Ward, or Explorations in Space and Time. I've got a few other Binaural+ recordings, but these are my favorite. Can't wait to try them out with LCD-X when they arrive. 

  I think both types of burn in you mentioned were necessary for me to understand and hear the T5p quality. At first I was a little apprehensive but after almost a month I started to really understand and appreciate their signature. A decent amp and/or dac will make them shine. They truly are...

It totally depends. I was reading another thread yesterday and quality 16/44 recordings were spoke about. Purk suggested Live at Blues Alley by Eva Cassidy.   Being a fan of her music, I immediately purchased the album (for only $12) and listened to it. He's right, if care is taken during the...

I have six of the Art Vinyl black frames in my apartment. They look great, are easy to install, and easy to interchange albums. Also a good conversation piece when new people come in. A little expensive, but I have no regrets buying them and recommend them. 

I'll have to estimate here, but I'm thinking >150 but <200 hours. Being my first pair of proper headphones, it took me at least 50 hours to get used to the neutrality, and I waited until yesterday to give my first impressions so they wouldn't be biased by my old lesser headphones, gear, etc. 

24/88, 24/96, and 24/192 mostly HDtracks. What I was referring to earlier was from a 24/88 album.    Yeah, they are "open windows" and my once beloved iTunes library has been collecting dust for a while now. I'm feeding the T5p's the best I can for now: MBPr > HDtracks > Audirvana+ >iFi iDac. 

I've had the T5p's for about two months now. They are a massive step forward from what I had, and I'm very happy. The only thing that bothered me (slightly) were the higher pitched vocals, primarily in female voices. They seemed too aggressive.    I just got the iFi iDac, and it really helped...

Hey folks,   Short time lurker, first time poster.    I recently had the most positive reaction to my set up so far. My computer rig is MBPr > HDtracks > Audirvana+ > iFi iDac > Beyerdynamic T5p.    I had introduced him to the HDtracks before, so he was familiar with what I was listening...
