Phoniac is right, you probably won't need even half the power, though the THX AAA can certainly output a lot. Personally I haven't used it yet, though I tend to enjoy the added reverb/space in a lot of electronic music- eventually I'll have to give it a try, though. I agree, the mojo is...

I'm pretty sure it'll drive practically any headphone you could attach to it. Your HD6XX is 300ohms- ADI-2 will output .3 watts at that level of resistance before clipping (.2 watts are the approximate power handling limit for the HD6XX). Edit: HE400i can handle a nominal 6W @ 40ohm, you might...

Nope, I saw a review on ASR about how well it measured and made an impulse buy- same for everything else in the stack, lol. I believe the ADI-2 could be a "one and done" depending on your requirements.

Both:sunglasses: If I had to choose, though, I'd keep the ADI-2 for my main use and THX AAA for instances where more power is needed; it's nice to have separate components that can be easily upgraded/replaced. In addition, the digital volume control in particular is really nice as well as the...

Pretty much. Lately I'm focusing on the IEM output with the Legend X- I perceived a slight difference in smoothness in contrast to the D50/AAA...other than that I don't think I could tell them apart, at least in my limited listening experience (if ever). Eventually I'll set it up on my desktop...

It's one of those oversized velour-like drawstring pouches that some IEMS come with; I can't remember what came in it as I have too much gear, lol. I slid it over the cradle so if it bumped the D50 it wouldn't scratch the anodized metal housing. Both are exceptionally good DACs- excellent...

Can't even decide...

Aw yiss. Perhaps you can do a quick n' dirty comparison to the LX before my Solaris ships :ksc75smile:

As a fellow basshead (and EDM listener) I'm quite interested in reading your impressions- hopefully you prefer it over the LX so my wallet doesn't have to suffer more than it already has, lol.

I'm curious as to your opinion on the Solaris being better than the LX- I was considering taking the plunge at some point; however I hesitate since I'm not sure how the LX compares to the Ref.1 Too (I suspect it might be more of a sidegrade). From all accounts, though the Solaris seems to be...

Same issue here, probably worse; I'm still looking for silicone tips that will keep them in.

How's the isolation?

I'd go with the Sony MDR-AS800AP- it's lightweight (so they won't fall out of your ears), soundstage is fairly large and bass is also really good. I'm an EDM listener as well- these will do the trick :)

Oh man, this doesn't bode well for my wallet, lol. Since you own the Vega (as do I) do you think the upgrade is worth it? It seems to me that a Vega with better mids/larger stage would be pretty amazing insofar as single DDs go...
