Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Good choice I have purchased quite a few more expensive "better" headphones but I choose to run with my HD650. It's seriously giving the HD800 and Audeze LCD's and he6's a run for their money. My HD650s are just as resolving as an HD800, except it doesn't have as big of a...- zentg

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
a vacuum tube takes a lot of power to do it's job, and most "hybrid" tube amps out there have low plate voltages and the tubes aren't really doing anything besides glowing. Also so many tube amps out there sound so much like SS amps, it just doesn't make any sense to buy them when you can get an...- zentg

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
if you want to throw your money away that's fine, just don't be shocked when you hear there are amps that do just as good if not better than what you got at the fraction of the price :)- zentg

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Get the littledot mk2, the valhalla 2 is meant to sound like an ss amp, it even says on schiits own website many would say that the valhalla 2 nor the vali 2 are not true tube amps.... many would also say that schiit products are complete bullschiit....but i didn't say it! ...- zentg

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
650hd's are the most pleasurable and comfortable sounding open back headphones out there. 650hd's scale amazingly with better dacs and amp. odac is the best dac of all time, anything that sounds different is doing something wrong. o2 sounds just as good or better than amps costing over a...- zentg

Help with HD 600 amplification
Best dac/amp on the planet at the best price (~300$) o2odac. anything else worth buying will sound exactly the same and will usually cost over 1 thousand dollars. We are beyond lucky that the o2odac even exists and that we can buy it for 300$ - does not make sense to buy anything else.- zentg

FCK MASS DROP!!!
Massdrop magic: -commit to buy something without knowing if you will like it -no returns -wait forever and a day for it to come -save 20$ headphones are the one of the last things i would buy from massdrop, simply because they are so subjective and you should really try them before you buy...- zentg

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
Get an o2odac. It's the best dac amp on the planet, and anything else worth buying is going to sound exactly like it and cost over a thousand dollars. O2odac is virtuality the only DAC/amp that does what a DAC/amp is supposed to do. The DAC gives a clean conversion with minimum distortion, and...- zentg

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
so i got to try these today....omg wow. honestly, i was among the people that would never buy anything from a company that sells 1000$+ hdmi cables... but these nighthawks are legit. they sound warm and soothing like my 650s, but i can actually wear them! (the 650s are quite uncomfortable imo)...- zentg
