Just get something really expensive, don't remove the pricetags and if you want to shake your head look at it. +1 for the ultrasones, but it would help a lot if you specify you budget :>

Any experience report with the new opamp?

If you still go for the HD-25 drop me a pm, i have one to get rid of, almost unused.

Already mentioned that i _love_ this headphones? - listening to KoЯn - Did my Time - And i still love the bass in paired with the canamp. And i'm still waiting for the DacMagic. ^^ Have a nice Christmas

Jep, you dont need to solder them like they look there. Didn't know that the 627 also exists in a version for putting them into a socket. My construction looks like this: (one similar chip on the bottom side of the pcb) http://img.skitch.com/20081002-1s1ji...2ap66p5d9s.jpg They also have...

Little thing to add, if i had the choice now, i wouldn't go for the dual opa627 anymore, they are much too expensive for the overall quality of the firestone products. Doesn't mean they are crap, i still like the sound of the fubar a lot and will put it into my home rig as soon as the dacmagic...

I have to revaluate my thoughts on the bass when i have a decent source to listen to. The fubar with opamp upgrade isn't that bad but it's still a pcm2702 on a crappy wallwart feeded through usb after all. Only god knows how much bass i have to expect with a decent dac feeded through spdif...

Grados and Stax are something i still miss in my listening experience. Something which has to be changed some time though

Go my Edition 8 one and a half week ago now. The only thing i can say about them that they are ****ing incredible headphones! They owned every headphone i heard until now by far, including the K701 and the Tripple.Fi which i considered really really good sounding until i got the Ultrasone...

Ah and yea, judging form what i've seen now there sould be an adapter packed.

Yea, you probably got mine ^^ But nevermind, i waited for them my whole life, so there is nothing about a few more days I paid per bank transfer, i assume yours was paid by credit card. I'm curious about the bass they have, k701 are too weak for my taste for some kinds of music. But i've...

Thx for your share Kernmac, Still waiting for mine, got called yesterday that they only have one showroom Ed8 left. As i wan't to have a new one i have to wait till the ned of next week. As i don't know the Pro900 i have to wait for mine to arrive until i can judge them :>

another victim ^^

I'm looking forward to hear the Ed8 on my Heed, while it is a really good amp, i also had audible hiss on it with some very low impedance headphones (tripple.fi for example).

it's here Musikinstrumente bei Musik-Schmidt hope it's ok to post links to webshops. too lazy too read forum rules at 3am

Due to my listening environment i'm almost completely bound to closed cans. (Office with 4 ppl in it that need a quiet working environment) The only excuse (as you can see on my cans) is the akg which is only for classical and jazz, which i tend to listen quiet enough that the leaking is no...

I have 30 days until i have to decide to keep them or not, that should suffice. But everything i read by now makes me pretty confident that i won't turn them down.

What i'm wondering now, how much will the rest of my chain hold back the almighty power of the Ultrasone. Can anyone enlighten me if the Amp (Heed Canamp) is a good match/good enough and if i should throw the fubar /w opa627 out of the window?

I kinda stacked up my budget and orderd an Ultrasone Edition 8 today. I strive perfection.

i officially call this one: troll suspect

Good Soundcard and an Amp hardly adviced, bot Soundcards will hold back the performance of those by far. At least invest like 200$ more to get at least 80% of your new babys could do. If you really don't want to afford that i would say go for the creative, they are crappy to, my former audigy...
