3 week old Compass and a new, loud buzzing noise.
Update on this.... More dumb drama. The lady at the counter of DHL put the price of this at $400, which is well above the original cost of about $258 when I first when to ship this product from South Bend, Indiana. Apparently, Audio-GD is refusing to cover the custom taxes based on this...- HyperTension

Denon AH-D7000
Welp, I received mine 3 days ago, with a completed order date of May 2nd (Had them on lay-away for quite some time). Granted, this is with a Headroom Mini-Amp via Elite Pro. My Compass is currently in Chinese Customs limbo, headed back to Audio-GD for a burned out gain switch (can't wait to...- HyperTension

Needing help / advise on upgrade path......
Alrighty, thanks to this site already, I've moved from on board sound, to an Elite Pro... then to DT770 Pros, decided that the sound was still a bit hallow and added an HeadRoom Micro Amp. Recently, I transitioned from VBR MP3 to FLAC (wow.. what the hell was I thinking all those...- HyperTension

3 week old Compass and a new, loud buzzing noise.
Welp, now the waiting game begins. I'm HOPING that the powers that be are willing to cross ship. :::Fingers crossed::: I'm missing my compass already. Back to the Elite Pro, and sound just seems... hollow, lacking depth.- HyperTension

3 week old Compass and a new, loud buzzing noise.
HELP!!! I've had my compass for about 2-3 weeks now, and it has been an outstanding performer. But all of a sudden, a loud buzzing noise is heard. Nothing seems "too hot" and I took the top off, and I cannot see anything bulging, distorted or burnt, but something has definitely changed. It is...- HyperTension

Questions regarding Vista, External DAC's, and an Elite Pro....
Alrighty... I am the new and proud owner of an Audio-GD Compass, (and still waiting on my Denon AH-D7000's) to upgrade from my current set of an X-Fi Elite Pro, Headroom Mini-Amp, and DT770 Pro's.

Denon AH-D7000
Still waiting on mine from J&R, Original order date of 02May.... Received my Compass about 3 weeks ago, and with my old DT770Pro, have not really appreciated a difference in sound yet, so hopefully going to the D7000 will provide an nice transition.- HyperTension

Don't get me wrong, the DX1000's look really nice, but I'd like to stay in the price range listed. The primary reason being is that I can purchase the cans now vs. in a month or two.- HyperTension

I have a severe lack of places to sample headphones, so I figured this is the next best thing. I'm upgrading (computer as source, FLAC) to an Audio-GC Compass and would really like to upgrade my cans as well. Currently, I am running a DT770Pro to Headroom mini-amp from Elite-Pro.

Curious about used receiver (PC Audio)
Alrighty, I have a friend who is willing to sell to me his old reciever, an Harmon Kardon AVR-520 for $100. I'm going to slowly build up my PC for a bit more "robust" audio playback. Opinions on this? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris- HyperTension

Opinions on a portable DAC
The only time I would use it would be mid-afternoon while studying.. I have no issues with soaking up a foreign culture, however while studying, I find it a lot easier with selective music being pumped into my head. And I edited my original topic to say "MicroAmp".

Just got a pair of DT770/80's *initial impressions*
It's also a matter of breaking them in. The sound on mine is slowly improving, with my initial thoughts of being shallow, disorting, overwhelming bass, limited mids, and painful highs. After 3 weeks of gaming and music, it's slowly improving. It was a MASSIVE improvement from my...- HyperTension
