The Soundmagic HP150 would cost me around €110, shipping included, with the current sale on soundmagic's website. I've also found the Sony MDR-1AB for around €140 in portuguese physical stores. I've read some very good reviews about these, would they be a good option?

Ah, completely forgot about them. I actually thought about getting them when I first bought the Takstar. I can also get refurbished A900X from Thomann, but I've read they're a bit too neutral. What are your experiences with them?

Hi there, how's it going? I hadn't logged in for three years but the need for an upgrade brought me back. I've had a pair of Takstar Pro80s for 3 years now, and they're great. Comfortable, with Brainwavz pads they just have no competition in that matter. Sound is pretty good, but I want more...

  I don't need anything besides the headphone out, perhaps the bass boost might come in handy, but the only use I would give the amp/dac would be with headphones and a laptop.      I guess from your answers that my choice is not really... a choice. I'll see if I can get a Fulla in the...

  Alright, thanks. Just two more questions:   1- The difference between the E10K and Fulla in the highs/mids is as accentuated as in the bass region? 2- Value wise, E10K for 75$ ot Fulla for 97$? Considering build quality, sound, etc

  In what way are the E10K lows better? More presence/punch, less bloating, deeper...?

  Can't help it, but this was my first thought:

  Alright, thanks for the info

I have a few albums in 24/192 flac, not due to the need of it but because I can't get them in 16/48 or anything else. If go to the control panel on W7, Sound, etc, and change the sound to 16/96, for example, will Foobar play it in 16/96 and, therefore, Fulla play it too? Or do I need to do some...

  Probably better. At least it has a decent headphone amp built in, delivering 300mW @ 32 Ohm, so it will be suficient for most headphones on it's own. About the DAC, sonically, we'll have to wait to find out, but it has the same chip as Modi.

  The main differences between the Pro80 and HP150 would be:   1- Round vs Oval pads  2- I would say the HP150 has a better sound in overall, but nothing too extreme. Maybe the sound is more envolving, warmer, more defined, but it is definitelly bassier and more spacious. 3- I am sure that...

This is what you want: Takstar Pro80. Look no further.       Thread about the Takstar brand: http://www.head-fi.org/t/585356/the-takstar-technical-pro-gemini-greathon-cyberx-qpad-thread My impressions on the headphones: first and second impressions.   Get them. Now. Here for an absurd...

  IMHO the blue mesh is a bit overdone in there, having it red (for a full "Look at my fockin' headphones") or black could be a good change 

  I get you mate, I live in Portugal and getting a Magni shipped here would cost me 40$! If I can find a better website I'll let you know.   How much are you willing to pay for the DAC/Amp combo? And it is just for home use right?

  Get them from websites/companies that ship worldwide, like Schiit, MP4Nation and Penonaudio (both with free worldwide shipping), etc.
