Hi all,   i just bought a pair of shure 535LE recently and am looking for a good amp from RSA that would complement it best. most of them are relatively closely priced and thats making it hard to find out which one would be the best buy.   Also, some like the protector and sr71b also...

fiio e7 + e9 combo will be a cheap and good option. as u can see from my display pic im using the drdac2 which works fine as well but costs a little more.

Quote: Mids are very clear. But if i remember correctly the ESW9s mids were more forward that the W1000X. Not that the mids on the W1000X are recessed though. Just a little different i think. But cant go wrong with vocals on audio technica W series.

Quote: Hey, yeah, I finally decided to get the W1000X as upgrades to the ESW9. I can say they would be good upgrades in terms of comfort and soundstage. But IMHO if youre driving out of an iPod jack the ESW9s would be much better sounder than the W1000X. W1000x Would do great if you...

Quote: Thanks, yeah. razer mice are good. But im having trouble with their keyboard. Looks cool tho.

   

Quote: Thanks, do such players have an advantage over iTunes? Or just preference.    

Quote: Can anyone enlighten me on the software he is using? Looks cool.  

1) ATH W1000X 2)ESW9 3)UM3X

Quote: yeap, same here. By the way, anyone knows if the pleather pads are changeable? To something better? Jmoney pads wont fit i presume.    

Quote: Mines square also. I gues it was filed down by hand and the workers had different types of files? LOL

Quote: Yeah mines a rectangle also. Not really worried about it, just wanted to check if I was the only one. Fortunately not.. haha

Quote: Can they be fixed? I think its there because it is carved too far into the wood and not because the wood is not pushed in. Im not 100% positive though.

http://mttk810.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-251.html translates saying w1000x are semi open. lol

Yay, mine finally arrived, couldnt be happier with it. Btw, anyone notices on the left or right cup where the wood joins to the plastic can see some grooves on the wood. Like they werent pushed in fully into the plastic. Is it a defect or are they all like that. Noticed in some pics that they...

Quote: Thanks!

Quote: Beautiful house, beautiful scenery, beautiful music. You're living a good life.  

Quote: Thanks, I also feel that a warmer amp would benefit the W1000X. where did you buy your nfb from?

Hi all, what would be a good DAC/AMP for the ath w1000x? Looking for one where it will make the sound warmer as the w1000x are a little bright. Looking at the Maverick D1, Fiio e7 e9 combo, Audinst HUD MX1. Or anything else you guys think is better.   Budget would be about $200 USD.   Thanks

Quote: Will it still be able to support the E7?

lol. you brush your teeth there too? AWESOME

Quote: Hey, where did you get the mod for the E9 to dock iphone?

Quote: have you compared the e7e9 with maverick audio d1? Would it be better if I got a dac with a tube amp in it?

How would Maverick audios D1 compare with this? Im still a newbie, are the D1's and these the same thing? Thanks

Thanks for your help everyone. I just pulled the plug and placed an order from PriceJapan. Now the wait begins.
