Hey everyone, I'm having trouble finding a good thread on here about the AKG K812 headphones, which are currently back on Massdrop once again.

Audeze SINE Series
I think it's very difficult to compare the Sine to the Fostex TH-x00 in regards to bass. The Fostex TH-x00 is known to have a ton of bass, that goes to very low frequencies. The Sine just doesn't do that. Additionally, if you are looking for transportability, the Fostex TH-x00 I'm going to...- Androktasiai

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me out with the sound quality difference between the Pioneer XDP-100R versus modern cell phones like the LG V10, etc. I understand the ability to play higher quality audio files with a HDAP, but does everything being bundled in such a small form factor...- Androktasiai

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
Hey everyone, I recently purchased the Jotunheim w/DAC. I tried hooking powered monitors up to the XLR pre-outs on the back, and was surprised to hear that both my headphones and the monitors were playing at the same time. Is there a way to select either headphones or speakers? I don't want...- Androktasiai

Need help choosing IEM for sleep <$50
The VE Zen 2.0 sell for $150 a piece if not more. Well above the OP's stated budget. The VE Monk are in budget, but I haven't heard anything about them. It would worry me, personally, that they are only for sale on aliexpress.com- Androktasiai

Amp for beyerdynamic t90
You could also check the For Sale forums on here and see if you can find yourself an even better deal. I have found several source components for great prices on here. Often times, Massdrop items are sold on the forums after owners decide to sell them as well.- Androktasiai

Amp for beyerdynamic t90
Given that those are 250 Ohms, if I remember correctly, you're going to need something with decent power output to effectively drive them. In all honesty, the Schiit Magni/Modi stack is probably your best option for the $100 range you are looking at.- Androktasiai
