I'm currently running the HeadRoom Micro Amp/Dac stack with Sennheiser 650s and Denon 5000s.   Any recommendations on what I could upgrade? (Amp? Dac? Headphones?).  What I should try out that would be a substantial upgrade and not a sidways move?

I have a feeling that the Micro Amp struggles powering the HD 650s (even through the MicroDAC). At higher volumes, it just doesn't as smooth as I would expect it to. Is this just the sonic signature of the headroom amps, or is it a wee bit underpowered, or is it a problem with the power...

I recently ran into some money, and I'm looking to get a good solid amp for my headphones.  It will be running from either a uDAC-2 or a Fiio E10 (currently own the uDAC-2, and should have the E10 by Wednesday).  I'm looking at either the Schiit Asgard or the Headroom Micro Amp.  I know there's...

Hey guys   I'm currently torn between these two combos for my Denon D7k's. My initial preference was the Asgard/Bifrost as I've read the amp combos very nicely and It also looks the part. However, HeadRoom is running a sale on the Micro Amp and DAC which made that package all the more...

Hey I'm looking to get a new amp setup I'm not sure if I should get the Micro Dac/Amp Combo or just the Desktop Amp the 100 dollar price difference isn't really a factor I'm just not sure what way would be better to go.  I'm picking them up at a local Headphone Shop "Peach Budz" they have the...

Hi all! I am currently looking for a pair of headphones to upgrade from my frankly ****ty Beats pros I received from a friend a year or two ago. I love to hear ALL the sounds within a track, and love to hear the differences even the the littlest things. My favorite genres of music are...

Would the fiio E17 be enough to drive the headphones reasonably well?

I have a pair of Heir Audio 4.A's currently running out of my Leckerton UHA-6SII (which I love) but I want to be able to leave that at the office rather than shifting it back and forth every day.   I like the neutral sound and would like something that kept that relatively similar. However...

So i have the fiio E9 and my K702 sounds great on this setup but I keep hearing that the E9 isn't a very good match for the K702. Peaple have said that the Micro Amp from Headroom is a much better fit. But i was wondering how the K702 also sounded on the Schitt valhalla

Hi,   I purchased a set last week with a HeadRoom Micro Amp.  I have a very good DAC in my audio interface (RME Baby Face) which is hooked to my iMac via USB 2.0.  I am considering returning my Micro Amp and replacing it with a "better" amp. By better I am seeking a transparent, neutral...

I know that one is just an amp and the other is an AMP + DAC, but I'm knew to amping and would like to hear which would be a better investment.  My current headphones are the ATH M50, Beyerdynamic DT990 250ohm, and maybe the AKG K702 if the sale goes through tomorrow.  I was wondering if the...

I have owned an Audinst HUD-mx1 DAC/ amp for around a year now, I'm happy with it but I need a new amplifier that I plan to pair with a dedicated DAC that has an optical input so that I may use my PlayStation 3/ Xbox 360 video game consoles with my headphones.   My headphones are Sennheiser...

I'm right now thinking about buying some new headphones and a dedicated headphone amp.   I'm going to buy the K601 (as seen in the title) but with an impedance of crazy 120 ohms i would definitely get an amp to make sure i'm getting the best out of these pair of headphones. I've already been...

Hi i am going to get the akg k701 and i was wondering which goes better audio gd nfb-2 + (audio bd c2.1 or the matrix m-stage). I guess if i go for the c2.1 i can use the acss cable.    So if anyone has had experience with these headphones and amps i would love your thoughts :)   thank...

I'm hoping I can get some opinions on which headphone I should go with, the AKG K701 or the Denon AH D-2000. The most important qualities to me are a big soundstage and clarity, and the top three genre's of music I listen to are folk, indie and rock. I will be driving them with the Headroom...

  I own a small studio and my main pair of monitors are Event Opals.  However, I love working on tracks on my laptop and Sennheiser HD600 headphones and eventually finishing them up in my studio. I work mostly on electronic music like techno and house. I am obsessed with my...

As the title says, I want one of these amps, and I wondered what would be the better on. It will be running my iPod, with mainly acoustic jazz, and my headphones are Shure 840. I also wondered if the 'crossfeed' function is a welcomed feature.   Input and recommendations highly appreciated.

I'm looking for a small, portable DAC+Amp that can rival my Headroom Micro stack in sound quality.  In particular, I am most interested in equivalent levels of separation and sound stage.  The particular sound signature is not as much of a concern (I will be using an EQ on the computer) as long...

Is the Sennheiser Micro Amp good enough for the Sennheiser HD650?   Are there better Amps for the money ($350) for the HD650??   I never see the Headroom equipment commented on.

I'm thinking of getting one of these headphones. Fo usage of outside  and computer. What amp should i get with these. I mainly listen to rock hip hop

Headroom has two Micro Amp options, the "HeadRoom Micro Amp" ($349) & "HeadRoom Portable Micro Amp" ($399).   I know the regular Micro Amp runs off of AC and can't have the built in DAC where portable runs off batteries and can have an optional built in DAC.   The differences I am...

I'm planning on buying a Hifiman HE-5LE but I read that it need a lot of power to sufficiently drive them.Will my Headroom Micro amp be good enough or will I have to buy a new amp.

Hi, My question is in the title. The association of the micro amp with the Senn h650 lacks of depth. Not enough bass in other words. I would like to twang a bit more. And i don't who is mainly responsible for that. Could i get some advice ? Best regards Alexandre.

::Flame suit on::   Just bought a pair of K702's, and I haven't experienced them without an amp. I realize, though, that I'm going to need one. Obviously, there's no one answer due to the subjectivity of hearing. Ideally, I'd like to pay <$100 (yes I'm optimistic), but my maximum budget is...
