I just rolled the caps in my Headroom Total Airhead. Don't know if the Elna Silmic II will be an improvement over the Sprague Oscons or not, but "different" should keep me interested for awhile!  

What are the smallest portable amps that have Cross Feed? So far, I know only of the Headroom Total/Airhead.

I was thinking that it might be worthwhile to start a thread listing the existing portable amps along with their price and website link. No reviews here, just a list. I have spent so much time trying to determine what options I have and would have loved to have a single source to get a list of...

Hey Folks!   Headroom has sent me their well-known and respected Total Bithead portable DAC/AMP unit. This unit has been on the market for quite some time, but still can hold it's own in performance and useability against the new guys out there. I have always been curious as to what the...

Hello all :)   It's about time to upgrade my Cmoy amp for a new puppy. My current ideas are the awesome new FiiO E11 and the tried and true HeadRoom Total AirHead. The FiiO is $35 cheaper, has High/Low gain and 2 bass-boost functions, as well as a replaceable rechargeable battery. It does...

I was thinking of upgrading from my humble Fiio e7 setup and is wondering if it is better to buy a e9 or a total bithead and sell the e7? I currently own a Sennheiser HD598. If anybody can tell me which combo can make the Senns sound better it would be great. 

I was wondering if this was a strong enough amp to power my old Sennheiser 410's? I think I read that the Nominal Impedance(No idea what that means) is 600 and I'm guessing that my Ipod wouldn't have enough power to do that so I knew I needed an amp and this one looked good.

hi guys,i did a research bib i didnt found something expressive,obviously because the Fiio E10 is a recent new product. i have a few days before choose definitively witch to buy,because someone will buy for me in the US,as here there is simply no audiophile market.here where i live   so...

Hey There Head-Fiers,   Just wanted to make a quick shout-out that our unassuming but rockin' little wunderkind HeadRoom Total BitHead gets some nice love in the latest The Daily Swarm column, along with some other heavy hitters. As usual, Michael Mercer also offers up some great points...

Dear Head-fiers,   Just wanted to give you the heads up that our Total BitHead is now on sale for only $99.   Get em while you can!   Cheers, Jamey Warren

So I've managed to come across a pair of AKG Q701s, and know nothing about audio for computer setups. I am aware that my motherboard supports 7.1 surround sound, although I'm not sure it does for headphones.   My question is what hardware do I need to get the most out of these headphones...

Hey guys I'm new to this site and have little experience in quality headphones but am wanting to change that. I listen to a broad range of music but I'd say the majority of what I listen to is alternative. My favorite band is Radiohead followed by Muse. I'm looking for headphones that I can wear...

Dear members of Head-fi.org, I am sorry to do this to you but after trawling through 7-8 pages on the search function I started to get quite bored and confused and now I need your help!   I am a computer guy but I don't know that much about audio, for some reason the information doesn't seem...

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

LAST CHANCE HeadRoom Total AirHead SALE! ..... Yes, its the end of an era -- After nearly a decade in production, the HeadRoom Total AirHead portable headphone amp has reached its final apogee and ultimate zenith and is being discontinued. So we are offering it at a ridiculous $49 sale price...

I have a Beyer DT770 and an AKG K 172 HD. I listen to mostly Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Hip-Hop and Dubstep. What I want to know is what are the best sub $200 dollar amps for my needs; I'm willing to go used or new. I'm interested in Tube amps because of the reverence people use to describe them but...

Hey guys. I've been thinking about getting the total airhead dac/amp, but I don't know if the dac, the part that i actually need, works on portable devices. I know it says "portable" amp, but I've read articles that say that the dac only works through USB, which my android phone doesnt have? So...

I was looking at the Audio Technica M50 or Koss Pro DJ100. What else is there sub $120 range for best performance, cost aside? I am NOT looking for best bang for the buck just best performance on the widest variety of music. These will be 100% music only and probably play a lot of music like...

Hey everyone,       I'm pretty new to the hi-fi world, and I was looking for nice quality headphones, and the only ones that caught my eye were the Sennheier HD600. All of the pictures I've seen of these seem to have two cables, and I was wondering if the Airhead Amp I was planning on buying...

Hi guys, I’ve been reading through head fi for a while now for advice on headphone and speaker choices. Great community and knowledge source you guys have here. This is my first post, and it’s about a problem other posts on the net have covered but don’t seem to work in my case.   I got a...

As an IEM user and avid gadget lover, I am always have a particularly interest in portable amps. The sub-$100 price range is where I started my amp journey and I am sure it is the same for many others as well. Though I have moved onward to better portable amps at higher price range, I have...
