Just got my Asgard 2 today and I don't think I'll be spending much time on Head-Fi anymore :P   The 650's with the Asgard sound incredible and I can't imagine I'll be looking for anything new for a long time. Anyways thanks for all of the help and good luck to anyone still looking :)

If you're interested in schiit I'd recommend emailing them directly. Just tell them all of what you said here and they'll be able to help you. Last time I emailed them they responded within a few hours.

Thanks for the suggestions I'll look into those. Asgard b-stock seems like a really good deal at $199

Just joined the 650 family! Hopefully they'll be here before christmas. Anyways I read through a little bit of this thread but I have a few questions about what amp to pair them with. I listened to a pair of 600's out of a Sony HAP-S1/B and a Woo Audio WA7 using the DAC from the Sony. I loved...

The Shures seemed to be built fine nothing special but I wasn't worried about them breaking. They were really comfortable at first then the headband would start to bother me after an hour or so.   Anyways I found a place that let me listen to some high end headphones Audeze LCD-3, Denon D7100...

Thanks for the input. Not sure how much you're looking to spend and like I said I'm still trying to get some opinions on the FSC but you can get them for about $330 from musiciansfriend.com right now. I'm very tempted to just pull the trigger on those for that price but I really liked the P7's...

Any reason why my thread doesn't seem to show up? Only way I can see it is by checking my subscriptions...

I've recently started my journey into the audiophile world and have been looking to learn as much as I can to make the best purchase possible for me. I picked up a pair of Shure SRH1440's and loved the clarity but was disappointed by the small amount of bass and low impact. I by no means what a...

I've been using Soundflower for a while now and heard that if I downloaded AU Lab as well I could use them together to have a global EQ over my mac. I followed the instructions I found online and even checked a few different sources but can't seem to figure out if using this EQ is possible with...

Has anyone tried the Dale Thorn mod? I know there seems to be some mixed opinions on him in general and I'd be cutting up my spare ear pads and committing to the headphones. It doesn't really seem possible that a little extra foam would improve the bass much but I really want to keep these...

Yeah I tried boosting the bass on my pc. It just muddied up the sound. I'll check out the 1540 and 840. Any opinions on the Beyer DT990? What about the Hifiman HE400? I've heard those have better bass but will I lose the clarity I'm getting with the 1440? If so what do I need to get both...

My 1440's came today and I'm not so sure they're a keeper for me. The highs/mids sound awesome and have great clarity but I'm finding the bass to be lacking. It's clear but it just doesn't have much punch to it, right now I'm just using them right into an audio interface so I'm not sure if an...

I just purchased a pair of Shure SRH1440's and I'm looking to get the best listening experience out of them within my budget of course. Right now I'm looking into either getting the Magni/Modi or O2/ODAC but I've encountered a bit of a problem. I'm a musician and it's important to me that I can...

Thanks. I've heard that the SRH1440 tend to be a little bright (thinking of trying the dave thorn mod) as well as the magni. Does anyone have any experience using the two together? Getting the magni and then later getting a modi seems to be a good cost effective option and it's almost $100 less...

I did a little more research on the SRH1440's and they seemed to be a good headphone choice for me. I just picked them up for $250 new so now I just need an amp. Thanks for all of the help so far.     edit: How important is it that I get a DAC? Would I get good sound with just the 1440's and...
