Wondering what your opinion is on sound quality between those 3 amp/dacs, and what headphones you have them paired with?   Cheers

Thanks for the explanation, and yes, those two are pretty much my budget area. And again yes, super basshead . Much appreciated!

Can you elaborate on this?   From my visual understanding, M100 Highs=Lows>Mids, Q40 Lows>Mids=Highs ?   Looking to get a pair for my portable setup and these 2 seem to fit my price range the best for "basshead". I use DT770 250ohm at home.  What about recommendations for a portable amp for...

Just bought the DT770's and so far am LOVING them.   Before that I had the AKG K81DJ's and loved those as well.   Clearly a basshead trail...and won't be stopping anytime soon. :P

Ended up purchasing the NFB-5, will post impressions in that thread once it gets here.

Took a jump on this as I just bought some new DT770's (250ohm) to replace my dying K81DJ's.   Probably could have gotten something cheaper, but I figure I won't be upgrading for a while, so might as well spend a little more.   Will post some impressions when it gets here (so, give or...

I figured I'd ask here since this thread is already on the topic of what I want to find out as well, except I'm looking for something a little less expensive, more around the $200-300 range. :D

Bumpity :)

Hey guys,   So I just bought a pair of DT770-250Pro's to replace my K81DJ's that finally bit the dust after several years.   I'm looking to get a DAC/AMP combo to complement them.   I will be outputting from a MBP, so optical/USB (optical being the better of the two I'm assuming)...

I was looking at the cables by the exact same seller the other day! Go figure :P.   I'm currently bidding on a pair of TF10's on ebay, that end today, so should have them next week :D Quote:  

Long time lurker, (almost) first time poster. I started out a longgg time ago by buying a pair of K81DJ's to get myself into the game of "hifi". Albeit budget, these headphones were way better then anything I ever had before, and the BASS. After a good couple years, these headphones are...

Hey Guys, Long time lurker, now I think it's time I started making REAL posts. I bought me some AKG K81DJ's a while back. Came upon the hugggge thread on them, which is what got me hooked. Been loving them ever since, and no matter what happens, I don't let them die. First mishap, the...

If you have a long and mcquade close to you they stock quite a few different models, and have very competitive pricing.

Yes, I saw that, and considered it, but decided against it. Seeing how I'll be looking into repairing the connector on this set in the near future anyways, I don't think getting a 2nd pair is needed, hence why I am now looking into a new *upgraded* set. I've been doing a little reading, and...

Hey guys, So my AKG K81DJ's finally bit the dust the other day. The connections became unsoldered, and while I will be looking into buy a new connector, and resoldering them, I would like to look into getting a new pair anyways . The AKG's being my first *real* headphone purchase (if I can...
