Howdy Everyone,   I've just bought some AKG Q701's on a bit of an impulse. Didn't realise quite how hard they are to drive, doh!   After purchase I listened to some AKG K551's (hopefully similar to the Q701's in terms of being hard to drive (?)) via an Audioquest M-DAC on Saturday and it...

Well, Shane has just gone and bought one. Anyway, I need a headphone amp. I just hope the Heed will be OK driving my headphones. AKG K240 MKII AKG K240M AKG K240 Sextett LP Grado SR80  Senn HD600 (I've read people don't rate them with the Heed) Regards.

Sennheiser HD650 and Heed Canamp is not a good combo. Im using them with a HRT Musicstreamer II connected to my computer. Mostly listen to spotify premium(probably pearls for swine but the ease of use is just so good) but also flac and alac.   What I want is more dynamics in music and a more...

Hi ! First of all, although I am new to this forum and don't know much about hifi, I did read the forum before posting here (made me buy the Heed Canamp for my AKG!). But I still don't know what would be good for me. Christmas is coming and I am looking for a good DAC for my combo under...

Hi, Guys. the 2 are not compatible as phones are only 12 Ohms so what do you suggest to sell and what to keep? I've searched for amp recommendation for this current hungry cans but couldn't find any. Also, if you suggest to keep the Canamp instead (will probably be cheaper thus a better option...

A Six-Way Solid-State Epic Throwdown! This review originally began as a simple three-way between the HeadAmp Gilmore Lite, Eddie Current EC/SS, and Heed Audio CanAmp, when I owned them at the same time at the end of June '07. However, I recently realized that I also owned another similar amp...

Hi. I am in phase of research for my next system. The headphone will be Q701. But i am frustrated about powering section. I listen music %80 from my mobile phone and %20 from my computer. They are in different rooms. I listen while working on desk with mobile phone. So i couldn't decide to buy...

Hello everybody,   I'm an audio engineering student, and I'm looking to pick up some AKG 70x's to add to my monitoring arsenal. I've got a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6, wondering if those would properly drive/fill out the sound of the AKG's?   If not, I've been looking around here for quite...

Sorry for creating a new topic, but I did not see a recommendation thread on Summit-fi.   OK, here is my situation: Currently own:  AKG K701 + Sennheiser HD650.   Using my Onkyo reciever as headphone amp (and its headphone out is very capable, it can drive even the Hifiman HE6s).     I...

Hi guys, I bought a Sennheiser HD600 today on impulse, just after getting a Beyer DT880 250 ohms a week ago. This adds to my collection of Grado SR325iS, ATH-M50, ATH-AD700, AKG K550, etc. My music is predominantly rock, Blues, R&B and are usually from my iMac in Lossless and 320. I have an...

Hey guys so I was looking to replace the Fiio E11 with a better amp. I think it is a great amp but there are a few things Id like improved with a better amp:   1) Better instrument separation (not necessarily wider soundstage but it would be a good benefit and might be necessary) 2) Better...

Usually, 220, 230 and 240 Volt is suitable for the Swiss power supply system, but is 240 Volts always suitable or could it potentially be dangerous? Just asking because I'm buying a used Heed CanAmp for 240 Volts and I saw versions of 220 and 230 Volts, too, so I'm wondering why there are so...

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...

Hey everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster here   I'm in the market for a decent headphone amp to pair with a couple pairs of headphones. Right now, I use some low impedance Sennheiser PC 360. However, I recently ordered some Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO 250 ohm, which obviously need...

Hmm, the Heed Canamp seems to have fallen out of favor in Head-Fi land of late...   I can't find the specs on the manufactuer's page - is it powerful enough to drive Hifiman and Audeze orthodynamics with ease?

Currently using AKG 701s (essential for my classical, jazz, experimental, and watching films) and Sennheiser HD650's (use them for electronic music, rap, and rock).  Driving both phones through my home theatre Onkyo reciever (through which I listen to my turntable, my BD player, my computer...

Hi again.   So I bought the HiFiMan HE-500s. and since this is coming out of a Mac pro with optical out, I needed an amp with at least one optical in.  I bought a NuForce Icon HDP, but I'm not really feeling the love from this amp.   I'm looking for a somewhat powerul headphone amp with...

has any owner if this Heed canamp considered removing the stock 'hard wired' AC power cable and putting in an IEC connector to allow for use of aftermarket AC power cables? I have to think this would be a great upgrade..   thanks.    

I've been looking for a fairly cheap amp for my HD800's. I currently use them in conjunction with my Fiio E7/E9 combo. What can I say, I bought those for my Denon D7000 :) As expected I'm left with a very thin and bright sound which doesn't even put the HD800's in the same league as the HD650's...

Got some AKG K501 headphones.   Nice sounding headphones, a bit gentle sounding. The bass is a bit light, but enough.   At the moment my old Marantz 1040 is driving the K501s.   Later I will try the K501s with the Heed CanAmp.   Regards.

Hello,     Has anyone on here tried the Heed CanAmp with AKG K240 MKII & K240 Sextett LP?     Kind Regards,     Shane.

I know the obvious answer is, get a tube head amp, but I am looking at Tube Buffer + SS amp. Am aware of gd Audio "SA" versions but are there any other makes in current production? Under $1000 & pre amp or not is ok. TIA.

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.

As title says - I'm also particularly interest to see where the Heed Canamp comes into this equation. Alot of people say that it's very warm, bassy, colored, and the perfect partner for the K701...etc... But it also seems to make everything sound bigger and more 'exciting' than it should be...
