I just recently picked up a pair of Audeze LCD-X (2021). They are currently being driven by the headphone amp on my MOTU M2 interface connected to my PC using Tidal as my source with Sonarworks EQ. The sound is fantastic and at around 12-1PM on the volume dial I get plenty of volume without...

I currently own a set of Sennheiser HD650 and will be picking up Hifiman XS Planars. Looking at many different options from Schiit, Topping, JDS etc. hoping to find a versatile amp that will drive both pairs of and eventually others if I add to the collection. When looking at different amp...

Just picked up a pair of HD650. I'll be using these to monitor a portable songwriting rig that consists of an Apple Macbook Pro along with these converters:Lavry Engineering - Unsurpassed Excellence These are some of the top ranked converters for audio professionals along with Benchmark, Prism...

Not sure about this..but from what I understand there's a new version of the Ultrasone Proline2500. Can anyone clarify whether there are any differences between the new and older model? Are the differences only cosmetic? Thanks
