I'm curious if anyone has owned both of these portable headphones amps and would like to share their differences. Any version of the neco works. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a portable DAC that I could use with my Galaxy Note 3, and I already have the Cayin C5 amp, so I'm just looking for something to do the processing instead of the phone. Most portable DACs that I can find also have amp components (as people rarely want to carry 3...

Thank you for the advice. Considering my old Galaxy S did not have the capability to use external DACs, I'd completely forgotten that this was an option. I'm pretty much sold on the Note III now.   It is quite cheap, so I'd look more into this, although it would probably be in the coming...

Hello everyone! I'm looking into getting the Samsung Galaxy Note III, but I have a few questions. I've read through a few pages on here, but I was unable to find an answer.   I'm very interested in what the S-Pen brings to the table, and it is perhaps the biggest reason that I'm looking into...

I ended up finding that out shortly after posting my last comment, hence why I have not been back. I do appreciate your help though!

I can't seem to find much information about how they sound

The Keces looks interesting, but sadly the $70 is a hard limit. Would you happen to have another suggestion?

Hello! As some background, I used to have a complete setup that featured my HiFiMAN HE-400, along with the Emotiva mini-X a-100 amp. My DAC was USB-powered, but I cannot remember too many details about it. I honestly bought it as I got a good deal on it, and wasn't too worried about the DAC side...

Hello everyone! I'm currently experiencing a few problems with my HE-400s and I'm going to have to send them in for repair, and I decided to check out Head-Fi since I haven't been here since around March! (been so happy with my headphones that I haven't felt the need to keep up-to-date with...

Hey guys, I have a question. If you switch the left and right cables to the other cups (so the left cable to the right cup and then the right cable to the left cup) and then flip the cups around on your head (so the left cup is on your right ear with the left cable, and the right cup is on your...

College student here, but I started here on Head-Fi when I was 16 (didn't make an account until a little later though). So I would say you aren't alone. I kind of think it's somewhat cool to have better audio equipment than everyone else, especially when they're caught up in the marketing lies...

Thank you for the help everyone!

Quote:   Haha, free help is appreciated too! But how would you say the ODAC is better than the Modi? Any links to any impressions of those two vs each other would be helpful, I like solid, subjective evidence :)

Alright brothers and sisters, let's say that I hypothetically sold my PS3 for around $250 and wanted to spend every bit of that money on a desktop amp and DAC, what are all of my options that are worth considering? I know of the M&M stack and the O2/ODAC, but are those the only ones I should...

The HE-400 and HD650 are great compliments to each other. The HE-400 is also a sort of jack of all trades, though it is a master (in its price range) in some genres. These should satisfy your EDM need, while, personally, they are amazing for Jazz as well (not quite at the level of the HD650, but...

I feel we could become great friends! Some game OSTs can carry some serious emotional investment in them, since the music is usually associated with the experience felt at that moment.

Just to double confirm, they are indeed the Rev. 2 (I received mine about 2 weeks ago) and they do ship with the velours

If you want, you can make the Denons absolute bass monsters. I was in your position too when I first received mine, but I noticed it wasn't that they were bass deficient, they were just focused on a different aspect. It's really hard to truly grasp subbass until it's actually experienced, as...

Does anyone have a spare stock cable that they don't need anymore and I could buy for cheap?

Sadly the screw part on the cable keeps coming off, so that method won't work.  

Hello everyone! I received my HE-400 about 5 days ago and have been loving them! I have a problem though: on the cable for the left side, the screw on part doesn't stay on the cable well, and so the cable on the left side won't stay in. If I contact Hifiman, will they want me to ship the cable...

What are your listening ratios for your genres? From what I've read, for Pop, Rock, and R&B, the HE-400 may be the better choice.

I almost had these shipped to my dorm room while I wasn't there XD if these would have been stolen that would have been a disaster! I'm playing the waiting game too! Waaay too excited!

Not on topic, but just so it's easier for others to search down the line, your thread title reads "HD50s" instead of "HD650s". I wish I had the 650s to help you out though!
