Currently own Dunu DN-1000s and planning to pick up a pair of 598s or Beyerdynamic cans in the near future. What is the best value amp/DAC combo for $100-$300 that synergizes with headphones/IEMs in the $200-$500 range?

I'm looking for a quick education on the state of the high end headphone industry - why are high end headphones so hard to find? It seems like the vast majority of acclaimed headphones I purchase are off of Ebay from International sellers, the market place here on head-fi, or they are a...

Right now my relatively untrained ears are content with my Logitech Z Cinema speakers. Here are the technical specifications: Total power: 180 watts RMS Subwoofer: 110 watts RMS (into 4 ohms, @ 45Hz) Midwoofer: 26 watts RMS x 2 (into 4 ohms, @ 335Hz) Tweeter: 9 watts RMS x 2 (into 16...

Hi all, Looking for IEMs under $200, mostly for listening to rap and hiphop, without an amp. What are the must-consider options with this criteria? Thanks in advance, Jamie

I've sampled around in the sub-$100 range with a number of entry-level IEMs. Skullcandy, NuForce, Munitio... I'm ready to take a step up with a budget of about $200, but first I want to consider the possibility cans may be the better buy. Are cans vs IEMs similar to desktop PCs vs laptops? You...

I can't find any 600ohms DT990s (or 880/770) at 600ohms anywhere online in Canada for under $300. What is a comparable alternative for under $300? No preference to closed/open. I listen to bassy music; 85% hip hop, 10% electronic, and 5% alternative rock. Bonus points if it's carried by...

Hey guys, I've been looking for some new IEMs for a while, but a big problem seems to be living in Canada. I can't find any Canadian eStores that carry the majority of popular headphones and ship within Canada. What are the top stores/websites within Canada for high quality headphones?

Hi guys, I'm a little high on caffeine right now, so excuse me for any ridiculous posts I make :o How do the Teknines compare with the Fischer Audio DBA-02s? The DBA-02s are nowhere to be found, in stock, and shipping to Canada. They both seem to have a similar price point, but I can't find...

Hi all, Unfortunately a deal I had for a Total Airhead Amp just fell out because of high shipping costs. Now I need to rush around and find a portable amp, to be shipped to Canada, that will make the Koss DJ 100 headphones sound great (apparently they do not sound good unamped, and are picky as...

Hi all,   Skype has been becoming more, and more important for my work, and the internal microphone is getting a little annoying to deal with. I'm looking for the best budget headet, that doubles as good headphones.  

Hi all,   I've been looking for a site that lists North American album release dates in the near future of as many mainstream genres as possible (Pop, hip hop, rock, etc.). Is there a go to site for this?   Also, I need a website that lists the most recent singles released, preferably...

Hi all,   I'm looking to spend $100 - $150 on an IEM.   It will be used to listen to underground rap, indie rock, dubstep, and acoustic among other things.   My current IEMs (NE-6) are now broken, and I would like an IEM that is superior to them in terms of sound stage, isolation...

One side of my NE-6s just went out.    Why does this keep happening to me? On higher end IEMs, is this problem eliminated, or a cheap fix?

I've found used Logitech Z Cinema 2.1 speakers on Craigslist and am scheduled to pick them up tomorrow for $60 CAD. The cheapest I can find them retailing is for $139.99 + shipping/taxes.   Now I realize Headfi users/true audiophiles aren't fans of Logitech audio products, but for around $60...

Hi all,   I'm looking to further my musical diversity and would like to start with something easy, with rock. Although I do have Last.fm, because rock is not my "main" genre, I only receive few recommendations.   Although my favorites are spread among many "sounds", I figure I should...

Hi all,   I'm looking for a fairly portable setup to play MP3 files, CDs are a plus but not required. This will be moved room to room so should be fairly portable.   I'm not to sure exactly what kind of system/setup this should be. I remember seeing boomboxes with USB input to play music...

Hi guys.   Here's the deal. I need to stream music throughout my house from multiple computers, although I may just dump all the music to a drive or server connected to the internet. That's it. No videos neccesary, simply music.   Here is the setup of my downstairs, thanks to MS paint...

I've had my NE-6's for just over a month and to be honest, I'm not that impressed with these entry level IEMs. Before them I had only had Skullcandy SBs and before that Skullcandy TiTans. When I first listened to the SBs I got my "woah" reaction, my first pair of "headphones" that changed the...

I'm interested in learning more about headphones + IEM's so instead of just purchasing what's recommended I can make some educated purchases on my own. Is there a guide anywhere for this? What to look for in a headphone/IEM and how it effects the headphone etc.? Sort of like a noobies...

Hey guys, Never had a full size headphone before but I'm looking to get an entry-level (or pre-entry level at this price?) pair for below $50 for a friend. I realize 90% of threads posted are "research for me and give me the answer" but I'd gladly accept links to comparisons for entry...

Not sure if I should press that place order button. Any hidden charges or cost? Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, I've been up for quite a long time

Hey guys, this is my second time requesting advice on which IEM as I did not act fast enough last time and things snowballed, but I'm back just needing a few seconds on your time. Last time NE-6's were suggested, however, I have read here they may have durability concerns as well as my...

Any idea how I can pick up a pair of NE-6's being in Canada? Amazon.com said they couldn't ship to Canada and the single store listed under Canada at the Nuforce website doesn't carry the cheaper NE-6's.

The only difference between the NE-6M & the NE-7M is the mic, correct? The Nuforce website says this but I'm just making sure they aren't lying or there aren't any other slight differences. Thanks guys
