Audio-GD NFB-11.32 & NFB-11 (2014) (Delivery & Impression Thread)!!!
Hi, can anyone tell me if the low gain is suitable to drive iem on the nfb-11? I currently have a magni 1 and its gain is too high for my iem. I'm using Dita truth and DT880 250 ohms. Thank you guys!

Found my Westones 4 in the washer last night. Recommendations on an upgrade/alternative needed!
Shure 535 red edition is around the price of Dita Audio Answer iem. I will pick "Answer" IEM over 535 red anytime. Do audition Answer IEM if you can. Simply astonishing for me. Edit: I stay in Singapore, so 535 are more expensive over here than other parts of the world- Jacktaris

Recommendations for a pair of portable on ear, closed back phones
Do consider sennheiser momentum. It has a very balance sound, detachable cable, and on-ear version. If u want more slightly more bass, while still remaining quite a balance headphone, you can opt for v-moda XS. These 2 are some of the best on-ear headphones i can think of that fits within your...- Jacktaris

ATH-M50 upgrade? HELP (urgent)
Yeap. The grado series earpads are all interchangeable to over ear earpads. So even if you get an on-ear model, u can buy their bigger earpads which is for their over-ear model and fit onto the on-ear model. Although there will be some sonic changes to it. :)- Jacktaris

The need for amplifiers
Thats usually the rule for headphones. :) But for IEMs they start to defer. Many multi BAs have extremely low impedance, while high sensitivity, which also makes it hard to drive. If plug directly to handphone, you might also hear hissing on top of not driving it to its fullest potential. :)- Jacktaris

Senn HD650 paired up with iFi Micro iDSD
Reason why i said its not needed is becos idsd micro has a built-in "Ipurifier" and it also supposedly does a similar job to the iusb power. But i can't really remember if this was what it stated. U might want to contact IFI for more information regarding the ifi idsd micro- Jacktaris

Senn HD650 paired up with iFi Micro iDSD
IUSB power is actually not needed for IFI IDSD micro. The improvement for sound quality is actually neglible if its even noticeable. Do try out the set if u can as YMMV with the IUSB power. Cheers!- Jacktaris

The need for amplifiers
Amplifiers are needed when you have a high impedence , low sensitivity cans. Without amplifiers for these type of cans, you might not be able to drive it to satisfying volumes. For high impedence, high sensitivity cans, you might be able to drive it to loud volumes, but you might be losing...- Jacktaris

I need help finding a pair of headphones?
Is portability important to you? If its not, do consider AKG k551 which is within your price range, inline mic, very balance sound, and superb comfort. Reason why i said its not portable is because its quite big imo, and non foldable. If you need something more portable with a balance sound...- Jacktaris
