AD700s are actually great gaming headphones, I have a pair of A700s (closed instead of the open AD700s) and use them for gaming. I use Astro wireless Mixamp 5.8 and find it works amazingly for games of all types as well as movies. I have a 360 and PS3. When gaming you plug it straight into the...

I teach in the inner city ghetto, if they have genuine Dre's they were part of drug deals lol. They mostly have super crappy IEMS or decorative portable headphones from sony, jvc or skullcandy. I have one kid that is super intelligent and listens to classic rock, jazz, and classical. Don't ask...

  lol i don't need the money. in fact i even have a nice tax return coming. but as a hs teacher i really shouldn't be spending multiple G's on...  HEADPHONES?     Don't know how to quote bud yeah I'm a teacher too, I spent all of my tax refund on headphones and this amp.

Dude Thriller, Beat It, and Billie Jean. Its hard to beat those three tracks back to back to back. 

I don't know if this is a crazy question or not but does anyone listen/watch movies through their headphones and amps? I can hook up video from my laptop to plasma tv through hdmi and then listen to the audio through my dac and amp. I also have an astro mixamp I have been using. I wonder what is...

Yeah Money for Nothing  was the first song I listened to. It is sort of my go to reference song. I am going to listen to some Boston and Adele then some oldschool Earth, Wind & Fire sounds like a great suggestion. 

I'M LISTENING TO MY FIRST SONG ON MY NEW WOO, WOOOOOO!   Quite a difference going from an A700 with fiio e11 to WA6 and DT880 600   Songs that I'm playing since I have been thinking about it all day.   1. Dire Straits- Money for Nothing 2. Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps...

Woo! My wa6 shipped today!

Since I love female singers:   Adele- Rolling in the Deep Rilo Kiley- Portion for Foxes Regina Spektor- Apres Moi Vedera- The Falling Kind Alison Kraus- When you say nothing at all Paramore- All I Wanted Alicia Keyes- Fallin (live) Neko Case- This tornado loves you Frou Frou-...

Holy tap dancing christ what an amazing upgrade from my A700s these are!The soundstage and treble are unreal. And best of all they are powered through my e11 right now; I can only imagine how good they will be once I get my Wa6! I am super pumped right now, I'm not the biggest believer in...

Kevin with the epic boom.

    I have a fiio e11 paired with an A-700, I enjoy it but those were rather random purchases I have only recently come down with the disease of audiophillia so I am not sure what more knowledgeable and experienced people would think of that combo. 

Anyone know the answer?

It depends how much you want to spend but I think the Audinst Mx1 or Yulong D100 would both be great choices, the E10 is a more inexpensive option. Hop over to headfonia.com Mike has good reviews on combo Amp/Dacs.

Thanks to all you guys in this thread it helped me make the decision to purchase a Wa6 with sophia upgrade. I bought the DT880/600s to pair with the amp. Should get the headphones in at the end of the week and the amp in a couple of weeks.
