Someone stole my T1s out of my car, so I bought some new headphones, thought I would provide some feed back.   My Goal: see if I can replace my T1s for cheaper 2 years latter and continue the quest to find my perfect pair of headphones.    Price (that I paid at the time): $269.99  for...

Do you mean the same T1s I had or a different headphone you would recommend that combines the sound of the HE 500s and T1s?

Some one stole my Beyerdynamic T-1s out of my car.  Life without music sucks.......    I haven't been keeping up with the headphone scene for a while because I was basically happy with my T-1s.   Headphones I have owned, to give you guys and idea of what I am looking for:   Sennheiser HD...

  Should I do a subjective review with my T1s and HE-500s? It came in the mail yesterday.  Its an O2/DAC limited edition from JDS labs.

No amps are the least important, in fact it can be argued that objectively there is no difference between amps unless they are driven to clip.   Like I said you should google the story of the objective 02 amp.     The idea behind an amp is to NOT have a sound, aka just make the signal...

I haven't actually got to try any schiit audio products, people around here like them alot.  Don't putt too much money into the amp/dac, the headphones are the MOST important part by far they are 99% of the puzzle. The difference between your schiit audio stuff and the $5000 top of the line...

    Yes it's kind of an issue, super unlikely to be audible.  If you are worried about measurements buy an amp desgined by measurements :P.    http://www.jdslabs.com/products/48/o2-odac-combo/   If you don't already know the story behind this amp, google it.  The objective amp/dac does not...

More gain does not mean more power, gain is the ratio to witch the imput signal is amplified.  More gain does NOT mean more power.  Yes it only effect loudness.    No they are not wasting there time entirely but yes pretty much all amps sound the same ( or atleast so close it makes no...

This is not exactly correct, you can only hear deltas in SQ related to power issues if the amp clips. SQ can be effected by other things like THD or impedance etc......   He is correct in saying that just because a headphone is loud that does not mean the amp is not clipping or distorting in...

SQ is in same league of almost half the $$$ lol :P

Strangly enough I dont know what my end game headphone would be but I KNOW what it would sound like.    Sound stage equal too or greater than, T1      Bass and speed equal too or greater then HE-500      so if some one could combine those too headphones into some sort of hybrid it...

Any ways bottom line my best advice is read he who must not be named blog. And if you believe in the objective approach to audio gear design then the objective 02 amp/dac combo is basically the best amp money can buy I can subjectively confirm that it sounds balling out of control.

The reason headphones have 1/4 or 1/8th inch a along plugs is because that is the industry standard for stereo headphones. As far as digital audio goes USB is ideal for use from PCs because its less Susceptible to electrical noise and less like to be effected by things like jitter and even if it...

Maybe the newer sound cars have better hardware or software for off loading sound processing. I did have an older sound card. I actually pay around with ram disks that's why I have that much and because it was cheap. In any event what I said about $200 invested in other PC sub systems netting...

I'm a PC gammer too, you most certainly won't get 5fps because of a sound card. In very rare instances you might get 1 or 2fps AT BEST. I play alot of fps games counter strike being my favorite and if you know anything about that game audio is super important. My PC is 4770k, 32gigs of ram...
