Let me just put it this way, after trying several chi-fi units over the years (not head-fi) I've had some really bad experience with both poor QC and RMA handling. I really just want a unit that works. With that said, it's hard to get some info on where the Holo is made. Thanks for the input...

Hi all, Long time member doing mostly reading but I figured it was time to get some input on my choice for a new dac/amp for my 800S. I've basically narrowed it down to these units: RME ADI-2 DAC Holo Audio Cyan PCM/Amp Moon 230 HAD Ayre Codex Reading a lot about these units in several...

Hello folks,   I just resurrected my account here. I've owned a pair of AKG K712's but now I am considering selling them due to a stupid "problem": the comfort, or rather, lack thereof. They seem to "fall down" on my ears and press against the top of my ears. As such, I have to adjust the...

@Tom M: I'm using my 600's with the headphone outlet of my NAD integrated amplifier. I would say the sound is very, very nice, and I don't plan of getting a separate amp nor a new cable for my headphones. The sound is excellent as it is. -Martin

I'm glad that my thread at least lead to something more than congratulating me!

Why can't you people quit listening to your cables and just listen to the music instead?

I don't want to use another $100 when I have used $155. Why did I search for the best price for the 600's? Figure it out!

Come on, don't let this go out of hand. I asked that question if a new cord really is necessary, because I don't have any high-end stuff at home right now, and therefore I don't see why I would need one. The sound is getting better and better all the time, and I would say that it's...

Congratulations TUBEBO! Quote: You will have to get one of the upgrade cords, Are those really necessary? I think the sound is awesome as it is now.

Quote: Where did you get yours for $155. I bought them from Hans der Bär from Germany. He sells them for EUR€200, and since I live in Norway, he removed the VAT (16 %), which got it down to EUR€172, and then it was only EUR€6 for the shipping. EUR€178 equals about US$155.

Yes, I finally got them! In a solid box, that gave a very positive first impression. I am using my NAD integrated amp the amplifier, with a Sony 7700 CD/DVD as the source. It has been playing without me listening to it for about 3 hours, and now I just wanted to listen. Awesome! Just...

@Matt: I'll try again: How much did you pay for the 600's? Including shipping.

@Matt: How much did you pay (incl. shipping) for the 600's?

Interesting thread. I will get my 600's in a few days, and I will use them with my NAD amplifier. It will sure be interesting, with regards to this thread.

@hinors14: I live in Norway and I have just bought HD 600, they were sent from Germany. I paid what would equal US$178, including shipping. It was a no brainer.
