Thanks that’s good to know! So now what about the sound of both?

Hi everyone! Getting back into the IEM game and wanted to get people’s impressions between the UE Reference Remastered (UE RR) vs the 64Audio A6t. I was able to demo both briefly but wasn’t able to do a back-to-back comparison. Also anyone with experience comparing the build quality of customs...

I went from the TF10 to the DT880/600ohms. IMHO the DT880 is brighter and more forward relative to the TF10, which I consider to have recessed mids. Bass is tighter but no less impactful (to me at least) and overall soundstage, clarity and details are a step up. It's definitely an improvement if...

Sounds great dukja! Really looking forward to my balanced DT880 which is due to arrive any day now. Unfortunately the emphasis is on saving up as I'm a student (and soon to be graduate) so funds are tight. There's no way I'll be rocking a Ref7/Phoenix combo any time soon unless somebody cares to...

Apparently the Audio-GD NFB-10ES (the one with the Sabre chip) is too bright for DT880s, so on the other thread they've recommended the ones with the Wolfson Chips instead (Audio-GD NFB10WM).   I was looking to save up for the Audio-gd Phoenix as well, which is their top of the line balanced...

Interesting... On another note I'm also considering selling my entire setup to fund a Lavry DA10 and run the DT880 straight from there while saving up for a balanced amp later. Anybody have any experience with this DA10 --> DT880 setup? I wonder if the Lavry will be able to power the DT880...

No worries, let us know your impressions when you're done. Good luck with your finals :)   Quote:  

Would you say that it'd sound better than an unbalanced DT880 coming out from an amp? A bold statement around these parts I'm sure    Quote:  

When are you getting it balanced ohgourami? Would be interested to see your impressions if it's overly bright with the ES after being balanced.   Quote:  

Would you be able to elaborate on the differences between stock and balanced apatN?   Quote:  

I am getting a balanced Beyerdynamic DT880/600ohms, and was wondering if the Audio GD NFB-10 will have good synergy with it, and if so which version (WM or ES)? I'm currently leaning towards the WM for its USB input, but if the ES gives a much better performance I suppose I'll use a USB-SPDIF...

Looking forward to this a lot! I won't be bringing any gear (going off overseas on the same night) but will certainly be interested in other people's rigs, especially since I'm relatively new to this hobby :) 

Hi guys, I've just bought a pair of Moon Audio Blue Dragon Recabled balanced DT880/600 ohms on the FS forums. As I don't have a balanced amp, I was hoping that those of you with experience with balanced DT880s might be able to suggest a set which synergises well with this can. Thanks in advance!

Quote:   If such speakers exist and are able to run on their own (i.e. without pre-amp etc) it might certainly be worth checking out, though atm I'm already struggling to justify paying so much for hi-fi equipment while still studying (and they are coming out of my parents' pockets). :(...

Great thread, unfortunately for me, speakers just aren't practical at the moment.    I got onto Head-Fi a year ago to try to get the best sound out of my iPod. As time went by I craved for better sound and was adverse to carrying even the Fiio E7/E9 in my pocket plugged into my iPhone, so I...

Hey jeust, thanks for the review! Yeah that's what I'm trying to do, trying to get a feel of each different sound signature by comparing to whatever I've listened to before (which is not much!)   Truth be told I'm leaning away from the K701/2 because it sounds much too neutral for me. Prefer...

Forgot about these. They are in the same price range as the K702 and HD650, but I doubt they'll be much of an upgrade. You should really be looking at the Edition 8/9, HD800, LCD-2 or K1000 as the next step up. Unfortunately in my current financial situation those are well out of reach :P   ...

Sorry ACDOAN I think I mis-understood you. I do prefer my music to be accurate, fast and fairly neutral, but maybe with just a bit of kick up the bass-end. Didn't meant to equate neutral with boring :P   Quote:

Hi Remco, thanks for your quick reply! I was wondering where you could find the ATH-AD2000 in Europe. It'll be well out of my price range if I were to ship it in from Japan I think.   Quote:

Idletime you've just mentioned "engaging" and "laidback" in the same sentence to describe the HD650. Care to elaborate more? ;)   Quote:

ACDOAN does that mean you'll call the HD650 more boring than the K702? Seems most head-fi'ers find the K702 to be the most neutral sounding amongst the lot. I'm wondering how the Beyers will compare against the HD650 if anybody can offer up some impressions :)   Quote:  

Hey ACDOAN I noticed you have both the AKG 702 and Senn HD650 in your sig. Mind doing a comparison of both of them?

The tube amp won't come probably until early next year, but I'm certainly interested in Woodies too if people can recommend some in this range (used doesn't matter!)   I listen to all sorts of music, but mostly Indie/Rock/Pop, a bit of Rap and R&B and a bit of Classical.   Bear in mind...

Hi guys,   I'm currently running a laptop --> DACMagic 2 --> LD MKV --> Beyer DT880 600 ohms (from the '80s!) rig. I love the clarity and soundstaging on this rig but upgraditisis has hit again :P At the moment I'm looking to upgrade my 'phones and then possibly my DAC in the second half of...
