New Amp from HeadAmp - GS-X Mini
Crikey, that is a lot of money. Yup, I've realised it is a good price. I'm still thinking things over. If the price is going to be $4000+ as rumoured, this will be a lot more palatable. I've got HD800S, Edition XS, HD600, HD650. I am looking to get some HE1000's though. Ideally I would like...- Pumba101

New Amp from HeadAmp - GS-X Mini
I'm torn. My A90D is out for repair which will take up to another 8 weeks, as such I have nothing to power my headphones. I've always been interested in the GS-X Mini and I found a local dealer who has offered me an open box with 3 months warranty for $1340 in Satin Blue with DACT Attenuator. Do...- Pumba101

KG CFA3 headphone amp
I know this is jumping the gun a little, but is there any indication of how the Headamp CFA3 will perform against the GS-X Mini? My A90D just died and will take up to 3 months for repair so I'm exploring options to upgrade.- Pumba101

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 noise-cancelling over ear headphones
Remember that B&O is a lifestyle brand. Their TVs are essentially rebranded TVs made by other companies. It's what they do (Their headphones are their own though). They're historically expensive. Just because something is expensive, it doesn't always mean that it is good.- Pumba101

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 noise-cancelling over ear headphones
I recently listened to the H9 and wasn't too impressed by them. Thought my P7 Wireless were vastly better. I'd expect the PX7 to be better than the H9. That being said, what sounds bad to me might sound good to you.- Pumba101

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 noise-cancelling over ear headphones
These will have a lot of work to do to replace my trusty P7 Wireless. I've been through all the high end bluetooth headphones and nothing has made me give up the P7W yet.- Pumba101

Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless
Sorry if this has been asked. Can you charge the headphones on USB and still use them in wireless while they charge? A lot of headphones don't have this feature and it annoys me. Thanks!- Pumba101

Massdrop x Alex Cavalli Tube Hybrid Amp (CTH) - Dropping Monday
Anyone know if you can buy an upgraded power supply from anywhere? Was reading in to the benefits of a linear power supply. Just can't find one in the right form factor and 28v.- Pumba101

Don't want to stray too much off topic, but I got an unexpected bonus at work. I'm now considering this or the Master 11. How much better do you think the Master 11 would be?- Pumba101

Audio-gd NFB-28
As the NFB-1.38 and the NFB-1AMP are separate boxes you can use different interconnects between them. Different cables give different sounds. I remember reading somewhere that splitting out the DAC and AMP in to separate boxes would be beneficial as well for interference - not sure how true this...- Pumba101

Audio-gd NFB-28
I emailed them about the difference between the NFB1.38 + NFB1AMP vs NFB-28.38. This was the response. "The NFB1.38 +NFB1AMP had slightly better sound , the most advantage is they can easy change the signal cable to had different sound flavors. But the cost is a bit expensive." I'm now...- Pumba101

This is a quote from the Audio-GD website: "Different to the NFB-28: The NFB-29 is a single ended DAC with headamp and preamp (+/- 30V DC high voltage power supply ), The NFB-28 is balance DAC with headamp and preamp (+/-15V DC power supply ). So They had same output power specs can drive...- Pumba101

Honestly, I've not done enough research on it yet to know the fine details. The ES9038PRO is the new flagship ESS Sabre DAC - http://www.esstech.com/index.php?cID=360 I've read bits and bobs on a few sites that people are referring to it as the next coming of Christ. The new Oppo Sonica...- Pumba101

New Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd generation
I got my T5P.2 a few weeks back but I only use them in the office as I have my HD800S for home use. However, I love them. They're far better than the TH-X00 and every other closed/semi-closed headphone that I used to have. Would anyone be able to recommend a good/not too expensive and...- Pumba101

This might seem like a stupid question, but what is the silver part around the driver called? I've outlined it in this picture so you know what I mean. I stupidly and accidentally scratched it.

Any last recommendations before I take the plunge?
I haven't listened to anything with the m9xx yet, that's on my to do list this weekend. I heard the HE1000 at CanJam through a huge Woo Audio amp but unfortunately I can't remember which one. In the shop the other day I listened to the HE1000 through an iFi Nano iDSD - it sounded awesome but I...- Pumba101
