Hello all, I'm looking for a portable DAC/AMP that wold perfectly drive my Hifiman HE-500 with a very good quality / price. I use my headphones both with my smartphone and my mac. Any suggestion ? Thanks !

Thanks for your answer, it saves me a lot of money..  I thought that streaming lossless music through high end PAD could help but memory stick will do good :)   Thanks !

Hello,    Currently own a modern BMW car with latest iDrive software and I'm looking for a bluetooth portable player that can stream my lossless music to my car easily, the new iPod nano can do that, well... that's not a portable player :D   Any one has experience about that or know products...

Thanks for the replies, as for 800-1000$ DACs, are they useful or hard to see a notable difference ?

Hello,    For the Dynaudio BM12 MKIII preamped monitors i just ordered, I'm looking for a maximum 500-600$ DAC with coaxial and optical SPDIF Input, USB input, Jack output. The Monitors need XLR Output also, but i'm looking for something very versatile as i might use the DAC for other...

Just received them yesterday, and to be honest they are fantastic, the RHA m750 are far from them. I only used for now the Balanced filter, will use it for some weeks before trying the Treble one and the Fun/bass one, and the result if very nice, comfort is fine, don't have the Hi-fi vocabulary...

Thanks for your answer, they look very nice and nice review, the filters changing possibility makes it a good deal, i guess i will try it...

Hello,    I recently bought an RHA M750i that i tested for 1 week, i loved the build quality and overall sound but there was a "clic" on right earphone when listening to low frequencies (thanks Hans Zimmer) so i just returned them. Now i am looking for a warm pair that runs smooth. I am ready...

Hi !    I plan to order a full 5.1 Home Cinema with the Yamaha RX-A2030 AV Receiver. Is this AV Receiver capable to drive correctly the HE-500 ?   This Receiver carry two ESS Sabre Premier DAC ES9006, here are the specs :     Amplifier Section Channel : 9.2 Rated Output Power (1kHz...

Bump!

Hi !   As i'm unhappy with my HE-400 (or may it be defective), i'll ask for a refund and buy the HE-500 instead. I already have an Audioquest Dragonfly USB DAC with it (for listening from my macbook pro), i saw in Jude's review that it can drive well the HE-400, Audeze LCD2 and 3 , but not...

I will check this out thank you. Unfortunately sometimes it's always at the same moment in a track, and don't hear it with my hd25 or my 1964Q, will take the time to choose a DAC/AMP, then if with it i still have the problem i'll return the head to Head-Direct...

Maybe the Audioquest dragonfly ? but i guess i'll have to add an amp over it to extend the volume level...

Yes i totally agree with you, the thing is i had a low budget, and my goal was to first buy the he-400, give it a try without a DAC/amp, improve it with a DAC/AMP and then go for a better one like the he-500 that will perfectly work with the DAC/amp...   On that do you have any advices on...

Hi !   I mean by parasite some sounds that disturbs the music, like in bad vinyl rips, some "tic" "chtchhhtchhh ticcc ticcc", but this happens only on some albums even if they are in very good quality and i hear them only with the HE-400.   I plug my HE-400 directly to the macbook pro...
