Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.
I never tried the stock opamp until around two weeks ago. I wanted to see how this little piece could change the overall sound of the amp. Stock sound pretty much like most ok solid state amp while the opa627 clearly borrow the fun sound signature of a tube amp. I find the sound much more...- Xprime4

Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.
I received my burson few hours ago and honestly i wished the m-stage was there up to its level so i could return it and my wallet would have been happier. , It's in a different league honestly, soundstage wise it makes the hd650 shine like never before. Not a hint of 'sennheiser veil and a...- Xprime4

Best Ipod Dock/DAC for the money?
Other idea would be to replace the ipod by another 'portable' source ( pretty much anything that ain't a laptop or computer) and that i could chnage song while being half asleep. I'd prefer if it bypass the internal amp so i can use the matrix m-stage (rca or usb dac... no sure it'S great) ...- Xprime4

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
I'm currently owning a Matrix M-Stage to power my hd650. I'd like to know what would be a good update in the amp market as now?

Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.
I just tried the stock opamp since i had the amp with the 627 already installed and the difference is quite big. The stock one make the music less dynamics imo. I ordered a LM4562, but until i get it i'll be putting the 627 back for sure :)- Xprime4
