Okay, cool. So you for a portable setup u reckon the Sennheisers + E11 would produce better sound for mostly rock songs etc than the E7?

awesome, and would a portable amp be great for the sennheiser HD25's too? say a Fiio E7 or something like that??

so is the LOD cable so it connects from the bottom of the ipod instead of the 3.5mm jack?   And yea, I was sort of looking at these   http://ultrasone.com/stores/us/Ultrasone-Pro/Ultrasone-PRO-750.html   apparently they are reasonable, as I'm looking for quite good portable quality.

hey guys,    Anyone recommend any particular closed-back cans for taking places and preferably with a decent case so I can store in my school bag and not ruin them. Probably willing to spend approximately 300 USD, but could slide a bit either way.    I'm one who mostly listens to rock...

cheers for that info!

so would i replace the stock ones i would get with my headphones or are the headphone chords you're talking bowt for the DAC-computer/MP3 player connection??

Hey guys new to this, so was just wondering the components to making a great audiophile setup at home on my desk.   I know a DAC, amp, good headphones are needed, but is there anything else that is needed? (apart from using flac files etc.)   cheers, Matt
