Any progress on a solution? I'm looking for a USB/Amp for my Momentums. Currently listening to a AQ Dragonfly-Jriver-OSX and can't achieve sufficient volume levels.

Hello My plan is to use Jriver in to a M2TECH Young DAC then directly to my Sennheiser Momentums V2. Jriver will control volume. My thought is that this is the straightest path. Or Would I better served adding an amp after the DAC?   Look forward to your comments and recommendations.  ...

Thank you for the recommendations.    Quote: I wish I could even something like a little FiiO. For this application it's just not an option.    Yes I agree from the reviews the PM-3 are certainly gems. Only reservation I have is most have mentioned that connected directly to the...

Thank you for the response and recommendation. I've read several positive reviews of the HD598. They're inexpensive enough the investment to check them out is minimal. I have a set of HD580 somewhere from the early 90's that I allways liked. Now retired as the right channel has what sound like...

Hello   I hope the collective can help. As the title says I'm looking for headphones that will shine using iPhone jack only. Cost is no object.   The nature of my life will not allow for any live demos or the ability to return or sell things I don't like. While I'm not opposed to spending...

I currently have an M2Tech Young-non-DSD with the standard power supply fed by Jriver via USB. Currently it drives a pr. of powered Genelec G3's that I listen to near field to at my desk. I'm looking for a new headphone amp and cans. Want closed back and am leaning toward the Oppo PM3's or the...

Thank you for the reply. For playback I have a couple options. I'd say my best sounding combo is /miniserver/bubble/Aurlic Aries/M2Tech Young/Burson Soloist I also really like the sound from my old Meridian 808. Still I'd be open to suggestions of a different front end. I have a couple older...

My favorite speakers have always been line source/ribbons. I have had many over the years with the Apogee Diva's and my current Wisdoms being the standouts. For some insight into what I after I'll describe what I like about my current speakers. Effortless dynamics, with weight and authority of...

Looking for a set of over the ear closed back. Don't have to be folding but this looks like where the energy and effort is being put by the manufactures these days.   Primarily connected to an AQ Dragonfly V1 and occasionally to iPhone/iPad.   I'm logistically challenged and don't have have...

Yngwie as in Malmsteen? I love him. Ever heard the "Unleash the Furry" tirade on the plane? Probably NSFW but worth a listen. http://www.break.com/video/ugc/yngwie-malmsteen-threatens-to-kill-airline-passeng-331977   Thanks for the recommendation.   Ended up with the Senn HD201. Fit is...

Guys thanks for the recommendation. I looked everywhere locally and couldn't find them Ended up with Sennheiser HD201 after a couple of positive reviews for kids. I ordered the JVC's from Amazon. I'll let him keep the pair he likes best.   Thanks again.

Thank you. Those look interesting but out of the budget and not readily available at least not in the states.

Long time lurker. Did a search did not find any recent recommendations.   The Easter Bunny forgot to get enough stuff for baskets. My 9 year old son has a very small head so its been a challenge finding something that fits. Closed would be ideal. Main source is iPad. Something that won't...
