Quote:   I like it a lot so far.  I've only had it a couple weeks so I'm still getting a feel for it, but so far I love the sound, the look, the build quality, etc.  It's a nice amp for the price.

Quick phone shot of my work setup:  

Curious for those who ordered from JDS Labs.  Are you getting a shipping confirmation when it goes out, or is the package just arriving on your doorstep?  I haven't heard anything yet (ordered May 15).

Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my standalone ODAC.  I wanted to be able to use it with my other amps and not just my O2.

The ODAC should be shipping from JDS Labs in the next week or so.  You can get the standalone version for $150.  I've pre-ordered one from them, and if I don't like it then I'll probably upgrade to the Schiit Bifrost (~$450 with usb).

+1 on the Senn HD600/HD650.  I had the DT990's and sold them when I got the HD650's.  They were just a more enjoyable headphone for me to listen to.  Listening is subjective though, I'd say that the Senn's aren't as bassy but have great midrange and less harsh highs.   The Denon D5000 is...

Quote:   Ah, bummer.  Hope the seller comes through with a refund to cover the cost of the transformer.

Quote:   That's a great deal!

Is anybody using the E17 as a dac between a computer and a Schiit Asgard?  I've been having problems with noise/interference and it's driving me nuts.   My setup is computer/USB -> Fiio E17 with L7 LOD (lo bypass) -> Schiit Asgard -> HD650.  I've tried unplugging my wireless mouse, changing...

As a follow up to above, I unplugged the wireless mouse and still got a lot of interference coming through the amp.  Just wondering if the Asgard is sensitive to this type of noise when hooked up to a computer, since my other headphone amp is perfectly silent when connected via my E17.   The...

Been enjoying the Asgard for a couple days now.  I haven't put it fully through its paces yet, but I am noticing quite a bit of noise/interference when connected to my computer with a Fiio E17.  The noise is prominent when moving the mouse, scrolling, etc.  It's a wireless mouse, so I suspect...

That's actually really cool, and great price.  If I had known about this a few days ago, I would have ordered one instead of the $40 stand from Woo Audio.

Had a minor issue with google checkout through the Toxic Cables website and Frank sorted it out within a few minutes.  Great service, really looking forward to my new cables!

My wife borrowed my D5000's last night and didn't take them off for 4 hours.  She's usually in bed by 9pm, and stayed up till almost 1:30am last night listening to music.   I think we have a problem 

Quote:   Thanks for the excellent feedback.  Exactly what I was looking for.

Thinking about getting one of Frank's cables for my HD650's.  Anybody have input on sleeved vs. naked braid?  Would one have more microphonics than the other?

Just pulled the trigger on the Asgard this morning.  Can't wait for it to arrive.  I'm curious to compare it to the O2 that I already own.   I was originally leaning towards the Valhalla but wanted to get an amp that I can use with my D5000's as well.

Quote:   I knew they were bassy, just didn't realize they were THIS bassy!   I'll play around with the settings a bit.  I listened to them a lot more today and enjoyed them, so perhaps I can find a place in the lineup for them.

I've been listening to my PRO 900's for about 4 days so far (bought from another member here) and I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them.  They are a little bassy for my tastes.  I'm powering them with an O2 amp and using the Fiio E17 as a dac out from my computer.   Anybody have a similar...

Denon AH-D5000 for me.  My wife's Bose Quiet Comforts are very comfortable as well.

Quote:   I've got the HD650's and the D5000's, and I like having them both, I think they complement each other well depending on the music I listen to.  Plus, I like having an open (HD650) and closed (D5000) headphone.

Quote:   I just emailed Amazon asking if there was anything they could do, despite not having a post-purchase pricematching policy.  Received a response within 3 minutest that they'd refund the difference!  This is why I buy everything from Amazon.

Wow, the price just keeps dropping on Amazon.  I bought these 5 days ago for $440 :(

I'm interested to see opinions on the separate ODAC when it comes out, since I already have the O2.  I'll likely pick up a ODAC eventually but it'd be nice to have all the components housed in a single desktop case.

  Quote:   I jumped on them for $439 the other day from Amazon.  Great headphones!
