DacMagic Plus headphone vs NAD stereo amp headphone 220ohm out
Hi Artcheezzz, I have a 1980's NAD 3020e, and a NAD 6220 cassette deck, both cost the grand sum of £21! I run FLAC to the amp from my laptop.

Why do all our voices sound different?
The perceptability of the human ear to differentiate voices is also important in this. Maybe there was some advantage for prehistoric man/woman? hear his baby cry etc? Quite an interesting OP ! - Makes a change from arguing about ATH-M50's bass.- doorhandle

AKG K601...my first poth here :)
Quote: Yeah, they are very smooth..maybe a little too smooth for my liking. But they are soooo comfy. For me they are best at accoustic music, for rock maybe not - a little dull for anything heavy. I like them though.- doorhandle

Oh where, oh where has my slim Arrow gone, oh where, oh where can it be?
To be fair, Robert/Headstage did post my USB DAC cable really quick (and its a great product)...and he responded to my emails (eventually). But the patience of you guys is really incredible! 14 weeks?? I ordered by Ibasso PB1, which came from China to UK..China...in 5 days. I could...- doorhandle
