I bought this dac/amp at the same time as I bought a pair of he-400's and have enjoyed it so far. I have not been as impressed with the he-400's however. The harsh treble makes my ears ring, even at low volumes and with the highs eq'ed way down. Plus, they are insanely big and heavy and are...

Would anyone mind sharing their EQ settings for their HE-400's? I have been messing with mine all day and find that big improvements are possible. I am just not quite satisfied yet. Here is what I am currently running:       Thanks for any input! 

Re: the osxdaily link and soundflower and AU labs, does anyone know how that works if I'm using a dac/amp? I've got a fiio e10k tuning a pair of he-400's and reading through that tutorial I worry that it might bypass the dac or that it would add too much extra processing and diminish sound quality.

I have a follow up to this question. Would the e10k sound better than an ELE DAC paired with a Schiit Magni? I am trying to drive a pair of he-400's and a pair of 7506's. This might sound like a random thing to do, but I've got somewhere around $100 to spend and I think that the first option...

I tried this post in the recommendations forum and got no help. So, I thought I would try here. I have recently made a little extra money and it is burning a hole in my pocket. So, I figure, what better way to get rid of it than spend it on headphone stuff! I currently have some 7506's that I...

Can anyone compare these to the PSB m4u 1? Are these two headphones even in the same class?

nobody knows? :( has anyone at least heard the m4u's and the a900x's?

hello?

Greetings all, I have recently made a little extra money and it is burning a hole in my pocket. So, I figure, what better way to get rid of it than spend it on headphone stuff! I currently have some 7506's that I have really enjoyed. I have enjoyed them so much, in fact, that they have given me...

I am in pursuit of upgrading my audio experience.  My previous post has led me to consider upgrading from my 7506's. The two headphones that I keep coming back to in my search are the ATH-A900x and the T50RP, which I would modify per the instructions on this forum. I realize this might be a...

I was wondering if someone could compare the a900x to the Sony mdr-7506 (my current headphones) to the HE-400 and to the PSB M4U1 (two headphones that I am considering along with the a900x's.) I am most familiar with the Sony's so any description in reference to them would be particularly...

Thanks for the advice Purple Angel! I am quite intrigued by the a900x's. they are $120 used on Amazon, which I think seems like an excellent price. I have a couple of questions though. First, could you compare these AT's to my 7506's(or to your v6's) and give me some idea of what improvement I...

Thanks for all the replies! Sounds like I have a few votes for improving my source material, so I will certainly get started on that. If I would also get an amp/dac, like the Nuforce, what improvements and how much of an improvement could I expect with my setup? Is a MacBook Air's sound card...

Uhh, nope. Like I said, I have a MacBook Air and sometimes even listen from my iPhone. So, I would need something that could benefit both those devices.
