Oh I've ordered my A900 few days ago.. can't wait!!!! i order it from AudioCubes2.com and they send it out the same day!!! really impressive service Yeah i choose A900 mainly because they're closed. I'm very happy with my MS-1 but they are too leaky and can't really use it at work

Thanks for the suggestions. but i prefer a brand new headphone.

Thanks for all the replys and i'll do some search on every headphone you guys recommended me so far. I am using the Alessandro MS-1 at the moment and like it very much. THe reason I'm still undecided about open or closed cans is that my new headphone will either be used at home and i'll...

I'm thinking of buying a new headphone soon. want some suggestions from you guys if you got $200 to buy a headphone what would you buy? Consider the facts that: 1. you have no headphone amp (but may get one in 6 or 9 months time) 2. It does not have to be portable 3. 95% for listening...

I've installed the "special" version which should come with this crossfeed filter but i can't see anywhere i can enable this plug-in? i tried look at the DSP, input and also output but can't find it?

i was watching video on my computer last night. I installed the WinDVD software that comes with my Optoplay soundcard and I turned on the virtual surround (dolby headphone support) and quite happy with it. Even though i don't really feel the "surround" effects (i can't feel any sound coming from...

I'm a MS1 owner as well and i think the MS1 is a pretty good headphone. I got a pair of Beyer DT511 + a few pair of other cheaper cans. When i compare the MS1 with the 511 (which was roughly the same price when i bought it few years ago), the MS1 is definitely a better headphone. I used to...

Thanks for the replies. A slightly off-topic question. Is that the headphone with higher resistance (like the 250/300ohm cans you mention) are harder to drive but also (generally) better sound quality (when you feed them with enough power)

Hi, i've just ordered the AudioTrak Optoplay to replace my onboard soundcard at work. http://audiotrak.net/optoplay.htm From the specs, it says: "Headphone Amp power: 50 mW Maximum " so do you think it's good enough to drive my MS-1? Or would i get a huge (or very noticable) improvement...

Thanks but it seems they don't ship oversea?? anywhere else i can order it from that'll ship oversea? or anyone from US can help me order one and i can pay you back by Paypal

So I read that those Sennheiser 19545 pads is a pretty good mod for the MS1 and it's a lot more comfortable. But i try to find it from Senneheiser's website and can't find it? Anyone know where can i order them from the web and will ship them international? Or any other similar pads i can order...

I just received my MS1 yesterday and i've to say they are awesome cans for $99!!! I've got a pair of Beyer DT511 which was roughly the same price when i bought it but the MS1 definitely sounds much better! Still need some time to break-in but I'm loving it already! THe only thing is it's not...

My 2nd thread here. I read that most (all?) of you guys say the Foobar is the best player. Is it because it bypass the Kmixer (or whatever it's called)? And does that mean i should choose kernal streaming as output even if i am only using the analog output from my Audigy sound card (well ok.. i...

Iron_Dreamer: Thanks for your reply. Sounds like exactly what i need!!! So how's the quality of this optoplay thingee? would the USB interface make it not as good as other internal sound card? and does it mean i don't need a separate headphone amp like CMOY?? or would it still help?

Hi all, i'm new here and this is my first post. I want to buy a new headphone and use it at work and I know basically nothing about headphones. I only got the BeyerDynamics DT511 + some crappy cans before. So I searched the internet for some headphone reviews and found this awesome forum...
