    New headphones or AMP/DAC upgrade

    Hi everyone. I have a Hifiman HE-400i and the combo FiiO E17K as a DAC and a FiiO K5 as an amp. IMHO sound is very good and very transparent. I want to give it a try a new Grados Sr325e for around $295 and pair it whit the FiiO combo I just mention. Or it will be better to invest that budget in...

    Fiio E17k Alpen 2

    Will you guys think this AMP/DAC will drive good enough my HE400i, i'm using a Mac as a main Source. I read this headphones are hard to drive at low impedance and are very current hunger. My other option is to get the E12 that is more powerfull or maybe the Objective 2 and ditch the  DAC from now.

    FiiO E17K Review

    Hi i just got a HifMan HE400i, I'm currently using a Mac Book Pro as a Source its sound very good, I use around 60% or 70% of the volume and its pretty loud, but if I go up the sound will get harsh and get very subtle background hiss noise    Thinking about the e17K for getting more juice in...

    Headphone Amp/DAC for Hifiman HE400i Headphones

    If i buy an AMP/DAC i want something future proof for the next copule of years. So the combo Schiit Magni + Bifrost would be and excellent amp/dac for the HE400i, do you think it will be a better future proof than the Magni/Modi?   Also do you think if maybe in the future if I want to try...

    Ok, very good advice maybe I'l wait some time and just listen to them straight out of my MacBook . Planning in the coming weeks, as I understand so it is best to start in this case whit a DAC upgrade, what do you think of a Schiit Modi 2 Uber for start. Then in the coming months get the Magni 2?

I would say they were very articulate and warm whit enough bass (i'm not a bassehead) and body, i like how my music sound, but as i say they were my only headphones. On the down side they...
