Sennheiser HD598 amp/dac
i would at least get a DacPort from CEntrance. it's a lot more expensive than the Fiio products, but you get what you pay for. i've tried it on my HD598, which i have long sold it by now (rocking a HD800 S right now). i would put the Dacport leagues and bounds ahead of all the Fiio products...- howzz1854

Itunes Match, please chime in on your experience
is it able to recognize and match your library 100%? i am more concerned about the matching part. since my old library are full of low quality MP3's. it's the matching feature that's attractive to me. so would you say it matches your songs well? or is half of your library unrecognizable to... -

form what i've read. i won't screw up your local files. if anything, if there's a mis-match. it'll only upload your mis-matched local file to the cloud server. but it'll never screw up your local files, unless you delete your local files manually, in which case, you can choose to download the... -
Itunes Match, please chime in on your experience
i just learned about it. was wondering if anyone have hands on experience with it. what really intrigues me is the fact that you can renew your entire old mp3 library, that were low quality bit rate, with high quality AAC256 from the apple store library. i am just wondering how well does... -
HD598 VS HD650 soundstage
after using the 650 for a few days. if there's anything that i have to complain about, is the clamping force. damn this thing really isn't made for people with large heads. the 598 on the other hand feels like you're not wearing anything.- howzz1854

it's only for when you play games or watch movies. other than that, you would use hifi stereo for music listening.- howzz1854

The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread
i always find the 49720 to be too light on bass. unless your headphone is already heavy on bass, the stock one works better and most neutral in terms of soundstage, tonality, bass, treble and mid. if anything the stock op amps are just a tad bit on the bright side.- howzz1854
