I'm going to warn you straight up that if you have a high end computer (aka you have high power GPUs), you may experience a buzzing effect which is caused by electrical interference. Didn't work well on my gaming rig that had a 4870x2, but ran fine in a friend's HTPC. You have been warned...

The new Auzentech Forte is a good choice too IMO.

Is this worth the money? I'm mainly going to be listening through some cans (Shure E4C, ATH-A900), maybe my Logitech Z-2300's (yes crappy speakers I know but it was cheap)

Can you use these opamps? LME49860 - 44V Dual High Performance, High Fidelity Audio Operational Amplifier Also, how are people mounting the ERS paper to the back?

Mm...I seem to understand what you're saying in a weird way I just wish the A900 was as good of a deal as the ATH-A900's =[ But there is always a price to pay for comfort and quality

On a second off hand note, do the Ultrasone Pro 750 and 900 need really good amps? The price difference's aren't that much between the A900 and the Ultrasone 750.....

So I've narrowed down my choices of headphones to these two choices from a previous thread. Both seem to be very comfortable, and both seem to be very good quality cans. Now the question comes down to which one would you guys pick? I'll have a FiiO E5 and a X-Fi that I'll mod later on to...

I'm in the US so would the HFI-780's be a good choice?

What are these infamous dealer?

If I were to extend my budget to under say...300. Would the Denon's 2000's be a good choice? Or are those headphones in the 200 range too powerful to be driven well by a fiio? (though I am looking at the total bithead usb/portable dacs or maybe the iBasso but probably not for a LONG time)

So basically FiiO E5 and Denon's seem like a winner? Haven't heard much about the ultrasones...any others care to input?

Hey Head-Fi folks, coming over here after lurking for a bit and having people on hardforum repeatedly tell me to come here to bug you guys for advice I'm currently using some Shure E4's that I bought awhile back and now I've come to need a pair of comfortable cans for work/listening when I...
