Monoprice DAC vs SMSL M3
Hi all, A friend of mine is going to buy a DAC/amp for his HD650. He's on a budget. Right now I've found the Monoprice DAC a suitable option, and he found the SMSL M3. Does anyone have any experience with the two DAC's? I have an AudioQuest Dragonfly Black for my HD650's myself. ...- sdelange99

Desktop DAC/Amp
Hi all, I recently convinced a friend of mine to buy the Sennheiser HD6XX from massdrop. Right now he's looking for a DAC/amp combo, but he doesn't want to spend too much. His budget is around €100. I recommended an Audioquest Dragonfly Black, since I have one and I'm very happy with it...- sdelange99

Why does vinyl sound warmer
Hi all, I recently saw a video in which the manufacturing process of LP's was shown. One of the employees told that LP's sound warmer because the higher tones are being removed (or rather turned down a bit) prior to the pressing. "Imagine a car taking smooth, long curves, nothing...- sdelange99

Reference setup
Hi all, This question popped up in my mind lately, so I figured I'll just post it here. How come there is no "perfect" reference for audio, like you have in video setups? I mean, I have calibrated my display using a display calibration device, so that the colors and video data are...- sdelange99

Audiotechnica ATH-M40x Earpad size
A friend of mine was looking for a new headphone yesterday, so he asked me to help him. His budget is <€120. After I did some searching for him I found out that the Audiotechnica ATH-M40x was probably the best headphone for his budget. I gave him my AKG K240 + amp to let him demo it, and he...- sdelange99

USB To Optical
Hi all, I've recently set up my first 'real' audio system with a Yamaha A-S201 amplifier, Sennheiser HD 650 headphones and a pair of old (but still quite good) Mission 760 speakers. Because I received my HD 650 a few weeks after the rest, I used the speakers and was quite happy about the...- sdelange99

Did Sennheiser just reveal the Orpheus successor?
I just saw the product page of the Orpheus 2 on a Dutch HiFi shop's website. http://www.stassen-hifi.com/accessories/headphone/sennheiser-orpheus-2. I mailed the website to ask what the price of the headphone would be. They wrote me and said that the price would be €30,000 - €35,000.- sdelange99

HD650's
Thanks for your suggestions. I decided on buying them *if* I can find a nice amp for them. I don't want to spend more than €200 on an amp, so I looked around and found the Onkyo A-9010. Will it sound well with the 650's? I really want to be sure I buy the right stuff so I can enjoy it for a...- sdelange99

HD650's
Hi all, I always thought HD650's were well above my budget but I just saw I'm able to get a new pair for €299 (around $350). I'm really tempted but I wonder how big the difference will be compared to my K240 MKii's which I've owned for almost a year now. What do you think? Should I buy them...- sdelange99
