    HD580 to...what?

    You own a set of cans that are near perfection, so upgrading from them is going to be difficult. You may not be necessarily upgrading going to AKG, they just have a different sound signature. HD700's may not be a bad choice for you IMHO. I have a set of HD580's with 600 grills and a custom...

    Reply to review by 'tgeml' on item 'Audinst HUD-MX1'

    USB sound card for mac, does the Soundblaster X-fi HD USB work?

    Sound volume too low on pc?
