My dac/amp knowledge is pretty limited, so what would the Woo Audio Fireflies offer that the JDS Labs The Element does not?  Main thing I suppose is the fact that the Fireflies is an actual tube amp?

Anyone have any insight at all?  If I am in the wrong thread, please let me know, happy to post somewhere else.

Bump - anyone have any input?

Hello there everyone.  I have had my Sennheiser HD700s for a little while now and absolutely love them.  However,  I just got done building a new pc and decided to not have a dedicated sound card and go for an external amplifier and dac possibly.  I have never owned an external amplifier/dac...

How do they manage to achieve loss less quality when the other giants of streaming service are not?  Also do any of you use it, do you feel the $19.99 is justified for what is offered?

Well I listen to music regularly when I am on the computer.  But do you just not consider streaming services music, lol?

Liam, thanks for the insight.  I am for just trying to get a general consensus of if I would be able to notice a significant difference in the gaming I do and in the music I listen to.  I personally do not have a plethora of lossless quality files that I listen too, typically I listen to...

Nobody has any input?  Bump though for the weekend!

Yes, currently have a Asus Xonar Essence STX powering them.   However, just got the AKG K712 Pros in and OH WOW, are they comfortable.  I thought that the HD650s felt good, but these things barely feel like they are on your head.  So far right out of the box I am having a hard time deciding...

Hey there everyone, so after getting my HD650s in yesterday I have begun breaking them in with some pink noise at a bit above a comfortable volume.  Now from reading other posts on this topic in the forums it seems that a 100-200 hour break in period is suggested to get them sounding just...

Oh on another note as to the performance on the AXSTX.  I know I am by no means an audiophile expert.  But as far as the soundcards ability to drive these.  Absolutely no problem.  At the 64-300 ohm setting, I have sounds playing at 75% within the the Xonar Audio Center, and about 35-40% within...

So I have had pink noise running through the HD650s for just a single evening, wake up this morning and wow do they sound phenomenal.  Classical and solo pianist songs sound just stellar.  Trying out some original movie sound tracks from Lord of the Rings/Hobbit right now, and the precision is...
