Quote: Thanks for replying! Forgot to mention, I'm in Canada, Electronics Expo does not ship outside USA.. :(   So your suggestion would be HD598+HTF600?   What's a decent headphone amplifier?   Thanks

anyone?

Hi guys, I feel somewhat uneasy to actually post here since i'm quite far from being an audiophile, neither a DJ or Audio Professional. so I don't really know all those technological terms, and probably don't have an analytical ear either. However I am an avid music listener and do appreciate...
