Wondering what your opinion is on sound quality between those 3 amp/dacs, and what headphones you have them paired with?   Cheers

Thanks for the explanation, and yes, those two are pretty much my budget area. And again yes, super basshead . Much appreciated!

Can you elaborate on this?   From my visual understanding, M100 Highs=Lows>Mids, Q40 Lows>Mids=Highs ?   Looking to get a pair for my portable setup and these 2 seem to fit my price range the best for "basshead". I use DT770 250ohm at home.  What about recommendations for a portable amp for...

Just bought the DT770's and so far am LOVING them.   Before that I had the AKG K81DJ's and loved those as well.   Clearly a basshead trail...and won't be stopping anytime soon. :P

Ended up purchasing the NFB-5, will post impressions in that thread once it gets here.

Took a jump on this as I just bought some new DT770's (250ohm) to replace my dying K81DJ's.   Probably could have gotten something cheaper, but I figure I won't be upgrading for a while, so might as well spend a little more.   Will post some impressions when it gets here (so, give or...

I figured I'd ask here since this thread is already on the topic of what I want to find out as well, except I'm looking for something a little less expensive, more around the $200-300 range. :D

Bumpity :)

Hey guys,   So I just bought a pair of DT770-250Pro's to replace my K81DJ's that finally bit the dust after several years.   I'm looking to get a DAC/AMP combo to complement them.   I will be outputting from a MBP, so optical/USB (optical being the better of the two I'm assuming)...

I was looking at the cables by the exact same seller the other day! Go figure :P.   I'm currently bidding on a pair of TF10's on ebay, that end today, so should have them next week :D Quote:  

Long time lurker, (almost) first time poster. I started out a longgg time ago by buying a pair of K81DJ's to get myself into the game of "hifi". Albeit budget, these headphones were way better then anything I ever had before, and the BASS. After a good couple years, these headphones are...

Hey Guys, Long time lurker, now I think it's time I started making REAL posts. I bought me some AKG K81DJ's a while back. Came upon the hugggge thread on them, which is what got me hooked. Been loving them ever since, and no matter what happens, I don't let them die. First mishap, the...

If you have a long and mcquade close to you they stock quite a few different models, and have very competitive pricing.

Yes, I saw that, and considered it, but decided against it. Seeing how I'll be looking into repairing the connector on this set in the near future anyways, I don't think getting a 2nd pair is needed, hence why I am now looking into a new *upgraded* set. I've been doing a little reading, and...

Hey guys, So my AKG K81DJ's finally bit the dust the other day. The connections became unsoldered, and while I will be looking into buy a new connector, and resoldering them, I would like to look into getting a new pair anyways . The AKG's being my first *real* headphone purchase (if I can...

Bump ^_^

Hey guys, So the time arose when the headphone jack on my K81's decided to give up and I somehow managed to snap it....I don't know how, probably from my bag, but yea. So what I am looking for is what I am going to be in need of...since I'm basically just thinking of recabling the whole...

Oh, I guess I should've made myself clearer, im looking to find the AKG K81's :P, which has been my decision, but I should've said it again :P.

Alright, well, my parents seem to be in the no inline shopping mode, for the moment. Which means I need to know of a store that sells them in the vicinity of Quebec City, in Ottawa, or in Toronto. I've looked through the big official thread, but can't find any that aren't online. If I can't...

I'd never consider myself an audiophile, altho I like good quality music, I'm not one to be able to tell the difference between Great, and Awesome...they sound the same to me. Sure I know what sounds bad, and what good, but that's why I come here, to get you head-fi'ers opinions on things...

Does anyone know of an actual store either near Quebec City, the vicinity of Toronto, or in Ottawa that sells these? I can't buy online because my parents don't want to right now because of w/e, so my only options are to buy it in QC, get my brother to buy it In Ottawa and ship it to me, or...

Alright, will take a look at those, since I kinda need some portability, and for them to run without extra amplification so, im guessing those are my best choices? P.S. whats the best store in canada (online im guessing) is to get these?

Bump ^^

Well no, because I live in Quebec, so unless there's a decent store in town, then it's either FS, or online, I guess.

Well music, will vary from heavy metal, to techno and deep bass, so yea. I also like my bass, so they have to be good in that division. Im looking for a set of over the head, either semi-open or closed. They also need to be able to be run without an extra amp, so thats a must.
