oops, double replies, edittttt~

Some adds on: AKG K272 mainly for dorm use, good isolation & fit to the classical and vocal music, movie watching also~ ATH ESW9 using for on the go, with a iPod Video 5.5gen 80G~ Hoping to get a good portable amp working with both cans, home & on the go~seems iBasso D3 is the best for...

Hi fellas, aiming to get a AKG K272 soon, how izt matching with a iBasso D3, which I found out to be a very decent portable amp with a good price in this forum? Also I have a ESW9, wonder how izt going with the iBasso D3? Thanks~

HI, I juz discovered the iBasso D3 as another choice there, how does it go with the ESW9 and the K272?

Thanks a lot~~ yes, I searched lots of threads about RSA predator and pico, seems lots of people prefer pico to RSA products~ ANyway, I still need to go and try them out myself~See how those ruling AKG cans taste, hehe~

Wow, thanks dew, for such detailed info, very helpful, so now I think K272HD would be more suitable for me. For the amp it should be really a hard choice, and I wish to get the amp which has good synergy with both K272 and my ESW9, coz willing to use the amp with both cans, can pico drive...

So how about DT770? how does it sound for some classical and instrumental music as well as movie watching? Also anyone can tell me the price of pico & iqube now? coz only know it approximately but not exactly how much it cost~ Also for purchasing, pico, izt still the only way: to order...

Alright, thanks for ur info, quite blur about these stuff actually~ So I think actually I might be going for the AKG K272HD since from other reviews it says it is more neutral and likely more suitable for my music genres, is iBasso amps good for K272HD?~

Currently got an ESW9 using with my Ipod Video 5.5gen 80G, mainly to use on the go, but still planning to get an amp as well as another headphone for dorm and library use. Thinking going for a fullsize and closed can for comfort in long time listening as well as good isolation coz in room and...
