Hello all,   So I just purchased a pair of HD 598s, and now I am onto the topic of DAC/amp. I will be using a computer setting, possible pushing to something else later on put for now, computer. I have been looking at several and these seem to be some of the best options. (Im aware these are...

I am getting a pair for HD 598s for 200 this weekend and I have semi narrowed it down to these dac/amps. What would these benefit most from - O2/ODAC, Maverick Tubemagic D1, Audioengine D1, or Schitt modi/magni. I will be using these for gaming and music. Fairly even between the two. Would love...

Hello,   So I have heavily researching some good entry level DAC/amps, and from what I have heard the Audioengine D1 is very sold, currently I just use an onboard computer card and nothing else. For 170 dollars, will I get quite a noticeable improvement from this? I am very new to these things...

Alrighty,    So I have been looking to pick up a good pair of headphones (I have heard good things about Beyerdynamic's DT880 and MMX300) and I am wondering what the exact point of using a sound card is. As if I pick up DT880, depending on model I will most likely be getting an amp (Which if...

Hello everyone,   So currently a local store is having a sale on beyerdynamic headphones. MMX 300 are 289.99, DT880 range from 240 to 300 depending on model, DT990s for 250 (600 ohm). I am currently using Logitech G930, and well I do like them, I game enough that I feel I would enjoy it as a...

Hello, I posted a similar post under portable amps, but I wanted the opinions from both forums. I recently got a pair of K271, and I've heard they sound quite better with an amp, now is this true first off? And if, what amp would someone recommend to me? Keep in mind, I do not have a large...

Hello fellow Head-fi'ers, I recently got a pair of K271 and I've been looking around, and have read that sound quite better with an amp, A) Is this true? B) What portable amp would someone recommend for me, or any advice would be appreciated, thanks! Or would a desktop amp be better for these...

Hey, I just bought these headphones off of a fellow Head fi'er, and have a few bucks left around. So I thought why not look into a portable amp. Im very new to amps, never owned one, but I'd like a portable one. Is there any that are better than others, or can I get some advice. I don't have too...

Hey, so I came to settle on the 840s. but I can't find them where they are just in my price range, so what is the difference between the two head phones? Also, is there like a middle headphone inbetween those two?   Thanks

Hey, I'm looking to buy my first pair of good headphones, and I just can't make up my mind. I've been looking for weeks now, and can't come to a decision. I have around 150-200 to spend. Main genres are Punk rock, rock, indie, folk, blues, Dubstep. I'm also open to other suggestions, but I'd...

Hey, I've got roughly 200 to spend, now, I do like to listen to music a lot mobile, so I was looking to get the Mobile Amp, Fiio E11. The only thing is, I dont know what headphones to get, I was looking at the Alessandro MS-1, the Grado sr225 (a bit too expensive is the problem) Could i get some...

Opinions? Also I am open to other suggestions, if there are any. I'm looking for something around that price, probably a bit cheaper. (200ish) Genres: Punk Rock, Rock, Blues, Folk, Indie, Dubstep.

Hello, I'm a complete noobie when it comes to amps and headphones, but after looking around and taking some recommenedations, I think I'm gonna get a pair of FA-003, don't have a ton of cash, so they seem like an affordable choice. Now I've never looked into amps, but A-Is it good to have one...

Hello, I'm relatively new to buying into expensive headphones, this will be my first purchase that is 200 or over, and that is also my price range. I have some questions, like which brands, open or closed. I listen to music in a home environment, or during school. Im not looking for anything...
