New Hifiman Headphone HE-400 is out
As someone who loves my Denon D2000s, I'm really considering upgrading to the HE400s. What should I expect? A more "accurate" or "neutral" sound? I love the bass on my D2000s and I'm a bit worried the HE400s will be too sterile for me. Thoughts?- Corbet

Schiit DACs (Bifrost and Gungnir down, one to go)? The information and anticipation thread.
I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I have a question: I have a pair of Denon D2000s that are low impedance. What would provide the biggest improvement in sound: a Schiit Asgard amp or a Schiit Bifrost DAC, assuming my source is a MacBook laptop. I think the answer is the DAC but...- Corbet

I have to say, Schiit has done a really good job with their product line for people like me - strictly digital listeners who want an amazing setup for under $1000. I realize a lot of audiophiles around here don't hold onto equipment for a long time but I just don't see myself getting a...- Corbet

Low Impedance vs. High Impedance? Huge Difference?
I've had "expensive" headphones for 5 or 6 years now and I've always purchased low impedance headphones so things like laptops can drive them. I currently own the D2000s, which has a really low impedance of 25 ohms. What advantage do high impedance headphones have? Are they really that...- Corbet
