I don't think anyone here is competent to say, yes :P You are on your own on this one :P

One more thing to add, above what has been said already here, I've just finished drawing new pcb for my new tube supply, and the way I've designed it is that heater voltage is provided by lm350, and although I can push close to 3A through it, I don't think the temp management I've implemented...

That is correct, Lowest I got is 62ohm (akg-k701), drives them just fine, same as 300ohm hd800, same here, although this to be said, my other amp, (diy piece) drives k701 with much more current, which those cans like, this results in more natural and truly fantastic low end. I love k-701's low...

Yes usb would be much better option, in comparison to the optical. Give it a go.

I'm finding HD-DAC1 very engaging, being paired with my HD800 and AKD 7XX. I have been using many Marantz products over the years, and for some reason I keep coming back to their gear. Personally I'm finding their higher line to be very much musical, just can't stop listening,  I have other...

I got both AKG K7xx and HD800, and can only say that's both sounds fantastic,

Got Mine today, I'm glad I can report no issues with locking / hum / or any other not pleasant oddities ... Sounds fantastic paired with AKG7xx, soon will have my HD800 back, which I borrowed, but can't wait already ... After lecture of this thread I have to admit I was bit sceptical about...

HD800 (worth the money, for many reasons) K701 (fantastic headphones, these sound so damn good, it's my personal best buy ever, so well worth the money, you can get these for ...) HD595 (my first good sounding headphones, still love these) HD600 (these are OK, but for me, just OK nothing...

I May sound odd, but, hd650, here is why. In comparison to my k701 sound is so flat and so "in head" that I can not stand it, and that head band and padding, it's putting far too much preasure on my head and paddign is a bit punctual, so as result it was a real pain to put them on, for some...

1. HD800 2. K701 3. HD650 4. HD595 5. CX270

I'm on the other hand going with hd800 this time, I just miss my k701 and the way they present the space and air arround the instruments :-) gave a listen to hd800 many times, as friend of mine has a pair, and I seams to be in love with them, same kind of love I was with 650 before though :-)...

Quote: For some reason I found the 650 being not that comfortable as I thought,  ... hence the decision to let them go ... I don't know why but initially I was very happy with my hd650 but after a while I actually noticed that they are bit of to tight I should say ... Anyway, I'm up for...

Purchased my 650 two days ago, can't wait...   Now its time for new balanced dac/amp ... lets do it msyelf :-)

Hi,   Inspired by few of you here I decided sort out my desk,   Didn't cost me a lot of £/$/whatever, just some of my time :-)   This is my mostly diy headphone rig, diy dac + diy headphone class A amp (both sounds fantastic imo)   Amp is juicy enough to drive my speakers, when...
