I'm looking for recommendations on a good DAC to pair with the Sennheiser IE800 to get the most out of them. Using them right out of my MacBook pro (mid 2015 model) the highs sound a little harsh. I'm looking at the audioquest dragonfly red as an option though I note some reviews mention that...

Can anyone help me with this please?

Hi guys, I've been away from these forums and the hobby for 3.5 years and don't own any headphones anymore! I want to finally get myself a good pair of IEMs. Though it has been a while I remember that I enjoyed the LCD 2's sound signature the best among the numerous headphones I used to own...

I found the mid range of the HD600 to be superior and probably the highlight of the headphone. The mids of the X1 seemed a bit recessed IMO. I never tried to EQ the HD600, sure it lacked visceral bass and that's one of the reasons I don't own it any more but the bass is still present just not...

Do people here generally buy expensive interconnects for the Gungnir/Mjolnir stack or just whatever is cheapest. Can you guys recommend something decent for me from Amazon UK? I'm not sure if I should go for the cheapest available. I don't want to be sacrificing on sound quality to save a few...

LCD 2 Fazor. It's the latest version.

I'm getting the itch to try the LCD 3. I get the feeling you'll also be on to the LCD 3 in no time. Is it me or do a lot of us at Head Fi have some kind of addiction, always looking for that new "high". I really need to delete my account......

That's out of the price range being considered. There two polls one for amps below $1000 and another for amps below $2000.

Does Audeze recommend any particular amp for the LCD 2? Or is there a particular amp that they normally use to demo the LCD 2? 

I think it's because they are both considered amongst the best headphones available and also the price is similar (at least in Europe, I guess in the US the LCD 2 might be noticeably cheaper). 

Bamboo is lighter but I think rosewood looks better. Not sure about sonic effects, if any. For the HD 800 you should probably get a better amp from what I've read. Also from what I've read they are not very forgiving and also fatiguing so maybe not the best for casual listening. I don't have any...

I don't think the LCD 2 sounds dark at least with the O2/ODAC. The only time I thought so was when comparing classical music with the T1 and the LCD 2.    The warranty is 3 years and transferrable which is really good.   The headphone seems sturdy but I've heard of issues with the wood...
