As the title suggests. My main source would be spotify + macbook air. I've tried and returned a pair of Schiit MM stack, because I could hear absolutely zero difference between that setup and my macbook audio out. For those of you who have compared WA7 with Crack directly, could you share some...

Thanks again for the reply, new info. Have you tried other well-known matches for HD650? e.g. wa6, crack?

Perfect, thanks for the very informative reply! From your profile, I see that you are pairing Valhalla 2 with HD650, fed in by a Modi? I wonder if the Modi stacks nicely on the left side of the Valhalla 2? Also, have you been able to try the Valhalla 2 with K712 (owned previously)?   Thanks again!

I see. Thanks buddy!

Thanks for the reply. I'm just looking, but I was extremely close to pulling the trigger today.    So is the proper procedure to plug / unplug while the amp is on, not leaving it plugged while powering on and off? And you are saying that it should be fine even if I leave the phone there all...

Could be a click, but some loud sound that shows "the power is on"! Is that normal? I have it in both magni and vali. 

Does anyone have anything to say to this, just found on reddit? Or are those guys paranoid?   Found the following from the original Asgard DC problem youtube video. Some guy still gets diaphragm movement when powering on / off his Valhalla 2. He took some measurements and found the following...

Does anyone else experience a "pop" in the headphone after about 5 seconds of turning the Vali on? I'm a bit worried that it'll destroy the diaphragm.

Hi all,   Long time lurker here. I'm about to purchase a WA6 from a stranger (not through head-fi). I wonder what's a reasonable price for a used wa6 that was produced in early 2013? The vanilla version without any upgrades.    I'll have about an hour to listen to it before sealing the deal...

Thanks for the replies. I mostly listen to Jazz, new age, and classical :)

Don't have one yet, about to order Schiit stack. This is going to be my first open-back high end headphone (coming from SE535 and M50)

Great point :) I don't think mass drop takes returns. What's the easiest way to sell them, if i decided not to keep?

Hi all,   I'm fortunately enough to participate in both mass drop k7xx as well as the adorama HD650 for 315. I think I'll only keep one headphone though...   This will be my first foray into high-end open headphones, coming from se535 and ah-M50.   What do you guys think?   I bet both...

I bought K7xx from mass drop, and just pulled the trigger on these HD650 at 315...   Which one should I keep?

Why no SE535?

It seems very one sided towards W4 on this board?

Guys,   I have some money to burn and it comes down to these two IEMs. I've previously owned UE SF5 and SF5.Pro, and ATH-ES7. It's time for an upgrade.    Which one of these have a better build quality and sound isolation? I'm more concerned about these two aspects than the sound quality...

Is electronics-expo an authorized vendor (with warranty) for Shure?

As the title suggests, my beloved ES7 (9 months old)'s cable just broke yesterday. Where can I get the recabling? I found some websites that does that but the price is ridiculous- $100! almost the same as a new pair of ES7. Now my two options are: find a cheaper place to recable my es7, or...
