i think im going to buy a pair of the ATH's, but i wanted to know if there is a difference between build quality, sound quality, etc... between these models ? (are the ATH-M50s a different model?)

i love Foobar2000..   but i want something touch friendly..   is there a foobar skin thats touch friendly..   or a program thats compatible with touch (larger buttons easy to scroll?)

woops your right (; lol

yea i think i am going to go with the M50's... they are also VERY portable!        

fatal yea those are all good choices...     this is good too   (not quite portable)   http://cgi.ebay.com/Bravo-Tube-Headphone-Amplifier-V3-EQ-Equalizer-valve-/260660392475?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb091f21b&afsrc=1     go blue! (;

i was thinkin about upgrading to a WooAudio 6..   i have the SennHD650's with a custom ClouCable and Bluejeans Cable.     will i notice a huge difference between the 3 and the 6.     i have upgraded tubes for the 3..

im looking at these two and am not really sure the difference between them..     AKA what is better to get... which setup??     anyway let me know!     Thanks!!!!       i will be using a small portable AMP and these will mainly be for traveling around... etc..    ...

they are fine..     also there is a difference between pads and bowls..   i got the sennheiser pad upgrades for the Grados (yea you read that correctly)   that helped.. they are not that bad unless you are listening for like 3 hours at a time..   and that is continuous and...

so WASAPI or ASIO4ALL?

one last question...   should i be using something besides ASIO4ALL v2?   i am currently using that but in the post above you mentioned  WASAPI?     anyway let me know.. thanks

the SR60's are not overated..   find me better headphones at that pricepoint..    

you can find a used 3... for $under 400 here..     they are amazing amps.. amazing

yea if you dont need the portability...   the only thing i can say about that..     get a usb and power cable and get a thinkpad (;     they have a powered USB port and you can get a custom cable that will plug into the power port and usb slot and will converge into one usb port...

Quote: get the WooAudio 3 or 5...   they are made for these cans..   its an easy choice (also get the upgraded tubes.. worth every penny)

you are talking about foobar..     this might sound redundant but it truly is not..   everything else max will not be "over the line"   keepn foobar at -11 DB is fine.. its loud eonugh.. but keepin the dac and the Bravo usb to spidf max is also what i want?   i dont see the...

Quote: so i put foobar at -10db that looks like its about 1/2 way down the scale?     that sounds about right?  

so it seems like from all inputs the majority believes..     Dac Max, and Bravo usb/spidf max...     foobar 80-90% and go light on the amp..   the need of the amp at 25-75% is not a true statement?     and why not run bit perfect.. I have it in ASIOv2 right now... with 256 buf

i have also heard amp in the 25% to 75% is optimal..     i guess this is where the logic for me breaks down..     the Bravo USB to spidf is carrying a digital signal.. so changing the volume of that should not really effect sound quality..     its the Dac that does the...

what about the bravo dac? 100% as well>

so the amp at 50% means nothing...   keep everything else at 100% and use amp minimally?

well for the dac i have the L and R outputs.. going into my WooAudio3..   and yes the volume does make a difference on that dac... ?

got the bravo and so far very happy with it.. very happy!

well if you have a balanced amp.. the clou cables made in sweden  ...

ahh ill post it and and the profile.     USB to SPIDF ... Bravo usb to spdif (24bit/96khz digital processor) from firestone audio   LITE DAC-AM (from china.. have a transformer for it..)   Woo AUdio 3 with upgraded tubes..     that is the setup... like said earlier.. the...

i was told though that AMPS usually want to be in the mid range?     so like my woo audio 3... i want that to be like somewhere in the middle?   you guys are all sayin max everything (except fubar 90%) and then use the amp lightly>?
