I do not know about the other one, but I am current listening with D2000 and I can tell you cannot go wrong with this, not bassy sound but deep and impact, mid is okay, treble is not too bright but sweet and tick tack. The sound overall is very soothing and transparent to music. I am using with...

Luxman P-200 is indeed a great headphone amp, even with the price however, in amazon.co,jp, that P-200 is sold with the price equivalent to around $1,000 which is 30% cheaper comparing to US distributor. i wonder if that japanese P-200 can use the same voltage as in US?

Quote:   So when we connect DAC1 pre to the computer via usb input. When we play a 192khz music file, it will downsamples to 96khz then upsamples to 110khz (standard upsampling rates of Benchmark) ?  

this is the first time i see 4 pieces of DAC chips in one package wonder how it sounds better than 1 standalone chip ?

pick stageDAC and concerto instead of symphony u would want to pay for an extra built in DAC in symphony while having stageDAC

I am intended to purchase Denon D7000 with either 1/. StageDAC and Concerto, or 2/. Stello DA100 (or signature) + HP100 i use optical out through my laptop, i listen to all kind of music: rock, rap, techno, ballad, pop,... i am type basshead so i need bass a little more than trebe and mid...

i believe in my D2000 if u r looking for bass D2000 is right there for you and D2000 is pretty good high frequencies too, very thin crispy mid is a lil bit taken over but it sounds ok plus it is CHEAPER than HD650, u can find it somewhere around 250

Denon AH-D2000

simply Carat Ruby USB DAC and Denon AH-D2000

i think i can put it this way if u play CD player then you can use HD800 if u store music in computer then you can use D7000

Sony Extra Bass sth 70, the bass is praised that better than Dr. Dre but idk

get an HA INFO NG94 sold on ebay so far it has really good DAC chip plus decent amp for ur D5000

I want to own that one, the good specs is the first impression

in Itune equalizer 32 -> 1 bar 64 -> 1.5 bar 125 -> 0.9 bar 250 -> 0.2 bar i use this equalizer with Denon D2000 and it produces large amount of booming bass also deep bass. One nice thing that it doesn't sound recessing; it doesn't affect low vocal much. U can hear trebe and mid nicely...

pick HA INFO 94, it has the best spec as I know also Maverick DAC is a choice

how does its bass compare to Pro 650 and Pro 900?

I am currently using Ruby and it works just fine one thing i am doubting is whether the difference voltages makes the amp section doesn't work efficiently, because it doesn't sound much different (to me) w/ and w/o carat while listening with Denon D2000 (it still sounds great though, just not...

I think HA-info NG94 is the best one

does d2000 have lots of deep bass or shallow bass without an amp?

i am using D2000 with Carat Ruby right now it sounds great ($250) however, it is now Topaz which costs $500

i saw it in the picture, i tried it at bestbuy, it has overwhelming bass which hurts my ears ;

i am living in U.S. and using Ruby too, it has no problems, i think Ruby has a very nicer p/p than Emerald or Topaz

Emerald doesn't have an Opt/Cox in so how can it use PCM1793 ? by usb? "And, the "goodness" continues into the DAC section. Utiliziing the TI PCM1793 24bit/192Khz DA converter, this DAC is capable of an astounding dynamic range of 113dB with a negligible THD+N of 0.001%. The USB input is...
