Reply to review by 'utkusu' on item 'Creative Aurvana Live! Headphones'
If it is not too late: I also ad700s. Depends on what you are going to listen and where. Closed back vs open, portable vs not, warm vs cold(ish). AD700 has more detail, they are more resolving, but they are a bit boring.CAL! is quite a fun hp with deep bass. A happy compromise between those two...- utkusu

Am I listening to Hi-Fi yet?
if you are on a budget, don't worry about the amp. Go to ClieOS' list (inearmatters) or joker's thread here. Set your budget, find the a couple of alternatives that has a good value rating in your budget. Then read about their sound signature and other details. then decide. I would not go...- utkusu

Review: Fischer Audio FA-003 - a neutral champ!
Quote: As a newbie, FA-003 made me notice and care about recording and mastering quality. I am not sure this is a good thing or not :) they made me start listening to Diana Krall and Dave Matthews Band and whatever else I see as cited as good quality recordings at Head-fi, just because...- utkusu

NOoooo STOP! :) I don't know AD900 but I have AD700s, but AD700s are not good (not bad either) for metal. Too distant sounding, grainy mids and treble. Whenever I listened to Agalloch with themm there is something wrong. I can't put it with technical terms but they create too much chaos, I...- utkusu

I keep reading M-50s are not good for hard rock, that is why I keep away from them. How about HD25s? I remember joker writing they are not very forgiving with sibilant recordings, though. I have experience with limited number iems and headphones, but out of the stuff I have/tried...- utkusu

IEM Beginner
Try Joker's Multi-iem shootout. You can do quite well under 150, probably much better than ADDIEMs. You also need what kinda sound signature you want.- utkusu

RE0 potential and uDAC
Thanks. I do hear an improvement with uDAC, but I am trying to gauge the benefit of a better amp. I guess I need someone who heard RE0s both with uDAC and a better amp to chime in. cheers,- utkusu

RE0 potential and uDAC
Hi, I have recently picked RE0s after thinking about them the last two years :) I was expecting to be impressed but not this much! I had xcapes v1 and still have FA-003s and I thought I am used to upper mid-fi audio by now, but RE0s thoroughly impressed me. (If my memory serves me right, I...- utkusu

Headphones or earphones give better sound quality?
I have been thinking about this myself for awhile now and I have concluded that there can't be any single answer to this. Even disregarding portability as a factor, there are so many parameters to think about. Think about RE0s or Xcapes v1 (this is the one I heard personally) for example. Is...- utkusu

Review by 'utkusu' on item 'Creative Aurvana Live! Headphones'
These are wonderful hidden gems of headphone world. Using the same guts as the renowned D1001k they produce a bass driven warm sound without any bass bleed to midrange. Midrange is also well-done, male vocals especially. Treble is nice and has the occasional spark when needed. Presentation is...- utkusu

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Nuforce uDAC USB DAC AMP with line out and S/PDIF out
Hi, I am using uDAC for its headphone out at my desktop. I am generally happy with it but I can't help comparing it to my Fuze. My headphones are pretty efficient (FA-003s, CAL!, AD700) so Fuze have no problem driving them. I used to only have AD700s and I thought uDAC helps them quite a...- utkusu
