So my ATH-A900 are nearing the limits of wear and tear. Been looking for an upgrade, and have narrowed my decision to the W1000X or the Sony Z1000. I need headphones that are relatively easy to drive and do not need a massive/expensive amp to bring the best out of them. I think I would prefer...

I made a thread some months ago that my then newly acquired Elpac power supply for my Home-Vibe was making my amp produce muffled and low-volume sound. This was done with my EMU-0404 as source. I thought I wasted my money. However, today, I connected the powersupply with the amp, but this...

I was driving the amp through two 9V batteries, but since that would be too costly I thought of going out and buying an elpac 24V linear regulated PSU, FW3024-760-NC. It turns out that the sound is of low volume, muffled etc. With the batteries it sounds just fine. Can anyone help?

My 0404 is on its way, and I was thinking about an amp. I was wondering if a CMoy with OPA2227PA is enough to power my A900s and have good sound.

I've been in a dilemma for the past couple of weeks (since I received my A900s that is), about upgrading my computer source. Im a heavy gamer and a music lover, so I was hardlocked between the EMU-0404 and the Audigy2 ZS. However, you said that you can use them both, AND gain from the hardware...

1) Can they be driven adequately (notice on adequately, which I mean average sound levels :P) by my Nomad Jukebox 3? (98dB max) 2) Can my Audigy 2 drive them?

Ok, Im about to purchase the HD580s, but Im wondering whether they are good for rock music? I want to replace my el cheapo $50 headphones with something much more worthwhile for music listening, and I was hardlocked between the Grado SR225 and Senns HD580. However, I realised that I can only buy...
