Okay cheers problem is that I don't know when the next massdrop will be. Hopefully they will do it soon. I've seen rumours that the red one might come up soon.

Are the K7XXs just as comfortable as the hd598s? I know the hd598s will be comfortable seeing as I have no problems with the HD650 but I have heard before that the K702s can be hit and miss on comfort for some, especially for long sessions. But then again the K7XX has better ear foam so I guess...

Yeah it's the HPA-1. Okay yeah I'll just swap on the headphone output. Thanks.   I have just noticed the Massdrop Senn PC37X. I don't think it's worth it now though as it's a long waiting list. I just missed a drop on it so the next drop won't be around until July. It's just as well though as...

The LME49990 is working great at the moment thanks. :) I'm thinking of whether to buy some HD598 or at least test them. I've heard it can be more suitable for gaming and watching movies as they have a better soundstage.  (I've been using the HD650 for everything on the PC so far) Is the RCA...

I have tried a DAC and it didn't work very well.   I forgot to mention that it is a PS4 slim so I don't have the option of using an optical input for a DAC. I bought a behringer UCA222 and plugged it through USB and found the sound was very low. After looking about I have found out that USB...

Yeah I saw your review, that did help while looking thanks. :) Yeah mine is HPA-1 too.

I've come across mentions of LME49990 on this thread a lot and I'm now thinking about upgrading my opamp to improve my sound. At the moment my setup is essenceST+m-stage+HD650.   Where is the best place to get the LME49990? I live in the UK, is there anywhere they would sell it here? So far I...

Okay then cheers. Yeah on the ST I have the M-stage (HPA-1 version) connected to the RCA. My speakers are just connected to the headphone jack.

Hi there I made the jump and bought a PS4 (not delivered yet). Now at the moment I run an matrix M-stage amp and a HD650 on my PC(Essence ST).   I would be using a monitor for the PS4, I could probably use speakers but I wouldn't mind being able to use my headphones either. I was wondering...

Might there be a UK equivelent of monoprice? I tried seeing if I can have it shippped but changed my mind as it costs $30 to be sent... In the end I tried amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/0-5m-TWIN-PHONO-RCA-Cable/dp/B002RRVQEI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Hey I opened it up and it looked like nothing needed seating, I installed it back in and it suddenly worked? Not sure what happened, thanks for the help anyways. Wow big difference in amps, sounds great. Question would it be worth it getting a better 0.5m RCA-to-RCA cable working between my...

Thanks for the reply, does it make any difference that the headphone jack works ok? Or would it still need seating? I've been using that aswell as its in-built amp for the time being until I get the M-Stage working. I'll give it a try tomorrow anyway.

Hey guys I'm kind of having trouble with my Essence ST, I'm trying to set up the RCA output but I'm not getting any sound, my setup is like this, Essence ST > RCA to RCA > M-Stage Amp > HD 650. I've got it set as 2 speakers in the xonar audio center, that is what you have to choose for RCA...

Yeah I'll stick with what I have then. Thanks for the reply, sorry I should of tried the search function.  

Hi there has anyone tried modding the Hd 558? Is it worth it to mod while voiding the warranty? I know you can have a 555 mod to 595 but would it be the same for the 558?   Thanks in advance.
