Thanks a ton buddy. I guess the jh13pro would be my choice for now. Just wanted to verify that there wasn't a great gap between the two in terms of sound quality. Cheers

Thanks. Where can i find his comments?

Has anyone compared the SE5 to the JH13pro Freqphase? thanks 

The RS1's aren't better than the GS1000, but would sound better out of an ipod.

Yea, I wonder if it is worth it to just purchase an aftermarket cable like the cardas or equinox?

yeah, the right channel. btw, I just switched the connectors and now the left doesnt work. Looks like a cable problem. never knew cable would get bad like that. Anyways, kudos for the suggestion and glad it aint the phones that are bad.

My headphone began to mess up yesterday for no apparent reason. The right driver refuses to produce sound anymore. when I move around a bot, the sound comes back. I have it plugged to my computer and have tested it on several outputs and still shuts out sound. I am thinking maybe the cable or...

YMMV, but as for me, the HD650 are on a whole different level soundwise- after eq. I use mine on my comp. The denons have a crappy midrange IMHO- too small and lacks dynamics.

good stuff

I think speakers are over-hyped. I have the aperion audio monitors and my hd650 and ie8 sound as good. But I do agree that a lot of people here tend to over blow things-especially when describing their audio bliss. Its very misleading and results in people spending unnecessary amount of cash in...

So getting the Little dot mk6 or some other balanced amp will prove better than a DAC1 or DA10? These are both expensive options and I would like to choose the one that gives me a better sound first

How does the balanced hd650 compare to balanced k501?

The LA10 doesn't appear to have the volume knob like the DAC1 does. Is that a deal breaker for me?

Quote: Originally Posted by compuryan Nope, the DAC1 has 1/4" plug inputs on the front. Also I've heard the Buffalo and its good for the price but the DAC1 beats it. So its better for me to use the DAC1 or LA10 with the hd650 instead of a balanced amp? I see you got the B22 and DAC1.

Thanks for your response Deiz. Will the Lavry DA10 or DAC1 power headphones like a Little dot mk6 would?

I have the sennheiser Hd650 and plan on getting the K701. I also plan on going balanced on day. At the moment I run my hd650 straight from my Asus Xonar d2. The sound is decent but I have read all about balance operation and I'm sold. My question is are dacs such as the Lavry DA10 or DAC1 as...

I live in Toronto. Any chance of me finding one?

I Live in canada btw

i cant find where to input the code. I
