Thnx! Cool! I'll take a look at Amazon Japan! I can't decide between the Sony MDR-EX800ST and the Etymotic ER4XR, they are both nicely high ranked in the tier list. I'm using a Oriveti New Primacy atm. I mean, an A grade IEM for 145 euro's ( the Sony EX800ST ) lol.. that's quite much bang for...

Is the Sony MDR-EX800ST/MDR7550 discontinued? I can't find it on an European store/webshop.

Oopsie, yep you guys are right. I guess it's time to swap my 16bit files for new 24bit or DSD files...:sweat::sweat: RIP wallet and leisure time, hehe.

I wonder why the NW-A55 ( and the Sony Music Center ) doesn't reconize all my songs as Hi-Res quality, even if it are flac, alac or ape files.

The A55 is arriving today so I wonder if it will run my Focal Clear. If not I'll use my Oriveti New Primacy.

Thank you for your honest opinion, Im going to a high end audio store next weekend. Lets hope I can test them out without getting disapointed.

Yup, I wish they sold them in NL.

Hello, I'm in for a new pair of headphones to replace my HD650, my budget is 1000 to 1200 max ( maybe 1500 if it's really worth it). I use my headphones with a Schiit Valhalla 2 -> Dragonfly Red -> Spotify Premium/PC. The headphones i'm looking at so far: HD800s (€1590, a lot over my budget...

Thanks for your feedback! I want to spend like 100 to 150 euro's ( maybe up to 200 ), so I am looking at the Modi 2. Do you guys think the Modi 2 good enough with my Valhalla 2?

Hello! I bought the Schiit Valhalla 2 and the HD650 more than a year ago ( almost 2 years I guess ), I love it but I wonder if I can improve my experience with a DAC. Right now my amp is directly plugged into my PC ( I've got a Realtek High Definition Audio on my PC). I hope you guys can help me...

Haha alright, i'll give it some time :p 

Thanks!!    Is the "1A + SC heather option" needed? 

Thank you for all the help, I bought the HD650 and I really like it.   I like to spend max. €500/$571 (or a little more maybe) for an amp in the future, is it really worth it? Does it really increase the quality drastically? 

Thank you! I'll buy a new amp in about a few months I guess, I bought my E12 a month ago, so I'll stick with that one for now.   I think the 650 is a right choice for me    Ciacona in D is nice too! 

Correct, I think I'll get the 650. He is a good pair of cans in it's own way I guess. And besides that, I can always use my srh840 and se215 if I don't like a genre with the 650.
