DT880 vs D2000 vs MS-2i vs AD900 vs HD600

DT880 vs D2000 vs MS-2i vs AD900 vs HD600
Oh and I owned the K701 too.. and while it is amazing with jazz and classical, it is definitely not what you're looking for..- onvn

DT880 vs D2000 vs MS-2i vs AD900 vs HD600
Hello, I can attest to the MS-2 because it is my favourite headphone out of all I've owned currently and previously. It presents music with 'life' all recordings deserve.. One thing I complain about is the narrow soundstage but I can live with it.. It is on the bright side but I don't think...- onvn

Can you elaborate? What makes the MD10 superior? Have you owned multiple DAC units?- onvn

Ground Loop Problem?
Hi, My problematic system is running from a Toshiba laptop into a USB DAC (Keces DA-151).. I have looked into scenarios of people complaining about noise in this computer audio forum and I suspect that this problem is a ground loop problem by reading into other people's situations.. but I...- onvn

Keces vs. Musiland vs. Yulong
Hello, Can I just update my situation.. I have jumped for a DA-151 just because I have heard good things about it and I did have a preconception of how it should sound like and I expected it to be a definite step-up from my current DAC - the Fubar II.. I ordered on Friday and received the...- onvn

Keces vs. Musiland vs. Yulong
Hello peoples.. I am looking to upgrade my Fubar II to a mid-range usb dac. I am looking at several DACS including the Keces DA-151, Musiland MD10 and the Yulong DAH1. By the sounds of it, lots are favouring the Keces but is it because they are that good compared to its competitors or is it...- onvn

Gaming: Dynamic or Electrostats?
Generalization indeed.. GENERALLY, at the same price point, up to a certain mark, open headphones are USUALLY better than closed in sound quality but others will argue to this and there are quite a few exceptions. More air movement for good bass, etc. in open cans. but it doesn't mean open is...- onvn

Audio Technica ATH-A900 vs. ATH-W1000
I have the AD1000 and W1000 but I don't know how the AD900 compares with the AD1000 and therefore the W1000 also. From my experience, the W1000 is far more enjoyable to listen to when jazz, classical or the more acoustic music is to your taste than the AD1000. The AD1000 is a lot more...- onvn

Best amp for W1000s under $450-
I have my W1000 amped with the G&W ATH-F100 headphone amp. G&W is a chinese brand and this particular amp was supposedly authorised by Audio-Technica to be built for the W1000. All tests were done by the W1000 and its circuit is, also supposedly, based around the ATH-HA2002 and has a MOSFET...- onvn

AT ATH-W1000 and MF X-Can v2?
Hello, I used to have my W1000 amped with an X-Can v3. I don't know the differences/similarities of the v2 and the v3 though.. I personally didn't like the synergy between this set-up. It did not produce, of what I perceive as, a natural sound, the sound is somewhat muffled, and bloated...- onvn

Replacement for ATH-ESW9 leather pads
I read somewhere the pleather pads are there for a reason.. They give a better seal, or an airlock effect, which gives a better bass response. If there is a velour solution available I'd like to know as well.. The pleather on my W1000 does get hot and sweaty on hot days..- onvn
