Pairing: HD600 or HD650 with the HiFiman HE-560
I have an HE-560 and an HD600 with a broken driver. I want to keep my HD600 as a companion to the HE-560, but I can choose to get either a single new HD600 driver ($70.90 each) or two new HD650 drivers ($50.23 each). It would cost about $30 more to get HD650 drivers over the single HD600 driver...- qoouep

HD600 owner looking to buy some orthos
Ironically enough, it seems like I won't be buying anything. Now we play the waiting game and enjoy the HD600 and Schiit stack for the time being.- qoouep

HD600 owner looking to buy some orthos
Thanks! After doing a bit of research, it seems that I might want to just plan on getting LCD's at some point instead of going the hifiman route. If I were to upgrade my amp/dac, I'd probably get Gungnir/Mjolnir, which is said to work much better with LCD's (where that is a pretty endgame...- qoouep

That's actually some pretty good info, Garraty. It might be good for me to hold off on a purchase for a while then and see what impressions people have of those.- qoouep

HD600 owner looking to buy some orthos
Hello HeadFiers, It's been a while since I've posted. My last major audio purchase was a Bifrost/Asgard/HD600 (first version for the Schiit) about two years ago. I'm thinking about upgrades/sidegrades and am wondering what direction I should move in. I really like my HD600 and think I will...- qoouep

No grounding on DAC and amp?
Maybe I'll just go without for the Summer. I'll only be here till September. Hopefully my place next year will have the ground. I'm studying abroad in Japan next year.- qoouep

No grounding on DAC and amp?
I wasn't sure the best place to post this, but I thought it would be okay here. Over the Summer I will have no ground on my outlets. Should I not plug in my Schiit DAC and amp? I'd really like to be able to use them... What are the risks?- qoouep

Best IEMs for "naked" iTouch/iPhone
Quote: That worries me. It looks like the Etymotic Research ER-4PT (with the new cable) is my best option. Anyone else have other suggestions?- qoouep

Best IEMs for "naked" iTouch/iPhone
Thanks everyone for the replies! I'm most interested in the Etymotic Research ER-4PT and the Aurisonics ASG-1.2. Does anyone have experience with both of these who can comment on the quality of the two of them? There's a price differential of about $80. Also, can someone comment on how...- qoouep

Best IEMs for "naked" iTouch/iPhone
So I'm looking to get a good set of IEMs for going directly out of my iTouch (possibly soon to be iPhone). Right now I have the ADDIEMs, but I'm looking for something with a little better sound. My home system is Bifrost -> Asgard -> HD600 and I'd like something that sounded similar (but lower...- qoouep

Upgrade uDAC to Schiit Bifrost?
Quote: Well, for these purposes I think the 10% is a lot. If I decided I didn't like the Bifrost wasn't what I wanted, I would probably end up trying different DACs anyway, potentially spending even more on shipping and restocking. Basically, what I decided when I ordered the Bifrost...- qoouep

Headphone advice for Anedio/Burson setup
Hmm... interesting choice. I just upgraded my setup, but I have been thinking I'll upgrade to the HE-500 and HA160 a couple years down the road. (Or, of course, new versions.) Give an update when you get your HE-500s: I'd like to know what you think!- qoouep
