ping me if anyone comes to chennai. you can call me at my mobile. IM me to get my contact info. i can show the HD 650 over the HDP ( and the Earforce DSS additionally for movies)

Is my HDP faulty or something ? I cannot get the desired volume levels below 2 o' clock     I want to buy the Jena Ultrawire cable for my HD650. Can some please tell me where i can get one? I think these are DIY only.   

We'd be delighted to welcome you to the group. We have few indians here on head-fi however. We'd be glad to appreciate a person who appreciates or likes or has positive feelings for our culture and traditions(not just ours but having an open mind towards other global cultures)   I hereby...

  This is my gear I use the Earforce DSS for movies alone. My setup for movies: The optical out of my macbook pro goes into the DSS which creates 7.1 surround. I use a stereo to RCA cable which gives me Left and Right analogue audio outputs which i plug in to the HDP's back. Then i...

Quote: Typing mistake . I use max volume for itunes alone. For VLC, i use 100% or 139%.   SOurce is a macbook pro. I use MIDI utilities and i put audio output of nuforce hdp at 24 bit 96 khz. left and right volume are at max.    Larry please tell at what volumes you listen to the...

Got my HDP finally   Everything is as described by others: low noise, the instrument separation/ delineation, tight bass, improved mids.   i'm using it with my HD650 phones.    I did notice tighter bass which is the one thing i longed for. The HDP gave me this.   Also the one...

Wow. thanks HeadphoneAddict.  You were the reason partly why I bought the HDP. Your review of the HDP. and the subsequent good comments it received on the thread. Also the excellent reviews posted for it on amazon.com website where i purchased it.   Mind boggling profile you have there. Will...

Anyone else who has used the HDP over the 650s ? Please respond.    You can also respond if you've used the HDP over other headphones

HDP users and others,    I want to know if the HDP has a better DAC than the macbook pro's sound card.    It should be better after all that i've paid isnt it :)   I want to know if it is (the cliched) night and day difference.  I've ordered the HDP anyways.  Just curious to know,

  Gradofan2,   thanks so much for your valuable insights.   However i've ordered the HDP as it is running out of stock. I've got the last piece somehow.     I play FLACs out of my macbook pro. I may not go for a cable upgrade as of now.    thanks again.

I've placed the order just now on amazon.com !     I've ordered the black one   I am lucky. I've got the last available item   The HDP is out of stock as of now on amazon. . Even the silver is shown as out of stock now!     EDIT: it was back in stock after a few days again...

Gradofan,   I've seen your profile. Quite impressive.   You noticed that you have the Headphile Senn v2 Blacksilver cable. I want to ask if that is better than the Moon audio Silver dragon for the 650s.   Also i want to know if the Stefan Art Equinox cables are better than the silver...

  I own the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones. I think a solid state amp best suits the 650s.   I am contemplating on buying the HDP as an AMP/DAC combo.   How's the HDP's output on the 650s? People who have listened to the burned in 650s over the Nuforce Icon HDP, please comment.  ...

ya i've read the 6 moons review.   it says:   "NuForce is proud to state that the digitally fully differential HDP runs four of the same 24/192 DAC chips that are in their $1,450 CD player for shared genetics. Sitting on a discrete daughter board [below], the HDP converter uses a...

Hi,   I'm Pradeep, from Chennai. I have recently joined the Head Fi band wagon. Got myself the Senn HD650s with the help of my cousin from US.    I use a macbook pro as my source.    I also happened to buy the Earforce DSS Virtual 7.1 device which gives virtual 7.1 out of any...

Many say at 500$ or less there is nothing that can Beat the Nuforce Icon HDP (Amp and DAC Combo).   If anyone here has found something which can beat/ come close to the HDP at this price range please let me know.   Many say that the HDP has a better performing(or better valued, at this...

try 1. 'colour to the moon' by Allan taylor. 2. 'the white flag' live by dido. make sure you play FLACs or DVD formats if you are using a computer as the source.   u can also try 3. Jorolet by Bela Fleck. 4. I also like the 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' by Jacintha.   If you like...

I have recently purchased the Sennheiser HD650 headphones. I am using them directly on with my macbook pro. I am yet to decide on the amp/dac combo. Even with the macbook pro output the volume seems be fairly decent (when used with itunes).   With VLC running FLACs i can up the volume to...

i've received my hd650 headphones and im loving them. and omg, i can really feel the effects of burn in. i'm using the files which ive downloaded from www.burinwave.com and initially i was not able to hear much in the 10 hz to 20 hz range. after 2 days of burn in i can clearly hear the sound in...

I've ordered the Sennheiser HD650. Want to know about some audiophile recordings which I can use to show off my headphones to laymen/non-audiophile/casual listeners/people like my parents.   I've downloaded lot of High Res audiophile FLAC files like 1. B&W very high audiophile...

This is my very first stint with audiophile music btw. I used to download flac files earlier as well but it was mostly popular music (pop mostly).   I've downloaded lot of High Res audiophile FLAC files like 1. B&W very high audiophile recordings(just fell in love with Allan Taylor's...

I will be getting the sennheiser HD650 headphones this weekend. I have been using the senn cx 300 in ear phones until now. I know this will be a huge leap for me, entering the audiophile territory. Can anyone tell me how much difference i can notice. I'm eager to know.   I didn't want to...
