So I am looking around at all sorts of amplifiers and DACs and noticed that there are a few cheap DACs that can go up to 192kHz: Orei DA21x Fiio D03K Muse PCM2704 Then I found a bunch of highly regarded, more expensive DACs: NuForce uDAC-3 Schiit Modi Fiio E10K Why are the more...

Long time guys. I currently am running my AD700's through a Fiio E6 which runs out of the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E sound card I have in my computer. I am looking to get a stationary headphone amplifier to replace the E6. I have narrowed my search down to several different...

Well I got all my materials and went at it today with my dad. We first made a 3.5mm female to male ~1 foot cable. This cable turned out good and everything works great. Then we moved on to my AD700's. We ran the two blue in the L4E6S in the plug to where the white goes in the headphones. In the...

Yes, I know the iBasso D-Zero and the E7 are portable while the E10 is not. I want to compare quality. I honestly am going to be using the amp mostly from my desk upstairs (either from my 10 year old computer or if I can use it to play my 360, that too) or my computer downstairs. I will also use...

Hello. For Christmas I am getting a Fiio E6 for my AD700's if I am using them out or if I get the Monoprice 8320. I am now looking at getting an Amp and a DAC. I have several options here, so I came here to see what you guys think. I have my AD700's and enjoy the sound, but I find now that I am...

Hello guys. I have been wanting to recable my AD700's for quite some time now, and with Christmas coming up and a little more to ask for, I have decided I'm going to finally go through with the project. I have already disassembled my AD700's a couple times and have removed the foam pad, put a...

Hello again all =) I have been thoroughly enjoying my AD700's. I can not listen to them enough =) I love their huge soundstage and clarity. I started school back up, so I am taking my earphones (standard Apple Buds) to listen to. I have a few complaints about these buds:   1) They do not...

Like you hopefully read, these are my first good pair of headphones and my first review, so please give me a little bit of slack and feel free to give constructive criticism where due. For all people who previously helped me, sorry I haven't done the review sooner. I have been very busy and have...

I hear that the AD700's do not need amping, but they definitely would if they ran through the line out. I am wondering what kind of improvement in sound I would hear from the LOD paired with an amp, compared to running the AD700 straight out of the headphone input. I have done some research, so...

I am set on getting the AD700's. I know people say they don't have to be amped, but I also hear that they lack bass and some amps can help that. I will be running them straight from my headphone jack on my Ipod or my computer, but if you guys think it is worth the extra money for the quality, I...

I know some people will say "just look at the 'best phones under $100'" or whatever, but I would like to say I have and I have done a ton of research. I have mainly narrowed my starting headphones down to the Audio Technica AD700 (for $85), Sennheiser HD555 (for $105), Alessandro MS1 ($100)...
