Hey guys.   Currently, I've got FLAC files that I've directly ripped from CDs, running through an HRT Music Streamer II, into a Burson Soloist SL, to a HifiMan HE-500.   I've listened to a friend's Shure SE535, driven by a Nexus 5. The sound was as good as my home setup, listed above. It got...

A huge step down? In what way?

Thank you very much for the reply.   I can't really comment on the HE-400, as I've ever only heard an HD598 and an HE-500.   For buying the HD600 at that price (Almost half the price than it is here), even if I end up disliking it, I can just sell it without almost any loss.   How's the...

Hey guys. Currently, I'm running FLAC files through an SRT Music Streamer II, through a Burson Soloist SL, to a Hifiman HE-500. The sound is very nice and I like it a lot. But I miss the comfort of my previous HD598.   I've seen that the HD600 is on sale for 229$ which is about half of what...

Hey guys. I've been wanting to upgrade my current, very cheap, microphone. Im looking for a desktop, cardioid microphone around $50, to look alright, and sound good. It'll be used for normal Skype conversations, as well as a little sound recording (but not enough to take it into consideration)...

Hello everyone. Hope you're having a good weekend.   I've had my HE-500 for quite a while now, and Im wondering if I should bring it a little sister. Im considering an HD-650, because the sound signature is suppose to be similar, and I always liked Senn's.   How will the HD650 compliment the...

Not at 2 AM. I will try tomorrow, tho. Just check for continuity? In case that I do get continuity, it means the driver is alive but something else might be breaking the line. What could it be?

I don't have a volt meter. Is there any other way to check it?

Anyone, please? Im desperate, and Headphones.com's support isnt online right now, and so is HiFiMan's.

Hello everyone. My HE-500 are a couple months old. I went downstairs to get some food while I left my amp on with nothing playing. When I got back, my left cup wasn't working. I tried re-plugging everything, to no avail. I switched out the headphones cable from left to right, and it still only...

There is literally no place anywhere around me that specialises in audio. No place that sells amps, dacs, or high end headphones or audio at all.

I'm not sure about the future, but I want something that will be more future proof than the A2. Im not sure about the kind of amp I want, Ive never used a SS amp, and my little dot Mk3 isnt really good enough of an amp to be a deciding factor, when it comes to deciding between SS and tubes. I do...

Not as loud as to hurt my ears, but sometimes you just need a bit more. Is the Burson a good choice overall? Should i pay a bit less and get a brand new Lyr? I like the idea of the burson.

StanD, I would preffer a little bit if an overkill just to be sure, and for future use. Which do you think is better, the Lyr or the Soloist SL?

So you say the Burson Soloist SL is a good, or a good enough (atleast better) amp than the Lyr?

    Hey guys. Thanks for the reply. I've read somewhere that the Headamp GS-X is a good amplifier; any opinion on that, given it costs $700? If I can find a Soloist, used, for the same price as the Soloist SL, do I want to pick up the Soloist?   Also, I've noticed they are solid...

Hey guys. I've been reading all over the internet, and everyone seem to agree on the Schiit Lyr. Saying it's a good amp, decently priced and provides great quality for the money. If I would to reach a little bit further into my wallet, to say, up to $700~, what sort of improvement can I find...

    Thanks, guys!

Thanks alot guys. I feel much better now.  The HD598 was a tiny bit underwhelming as well, and now I understand why. Thank you guys, alot. I'm going to save up for a decent amp now, and enjoy my setup. Do you think I should save up for a better DAC as well? The Music Streamer II gets really...

Will  it marginally increase the sound quality?

Thanks for the reply. The bass seems to 'cut out' when it gets too intense. But overall, there isnt much change, moving from the HD598 to this. Im planning on getting a Lyr, soon.

Hey guys.   A week ago, I ordered my HiFiMan through Headroom. Yesterday, I received them, and eagerly plugged them in to my Music Streamer II ---> Little Dot Mk3, and I was sort of overwhelmed.   Music doesn't sound much better, the bass (yep, bass!) is a little bit worse than my HD598...

Can anyone please answer me? Is the Mk3 powerful enough to power an LCD-2?

^

I am planning on getting the LCD-2. They reccomend an amp with at least 1 watt of power. Is this amp enough? I see it only outputs 350mW, which is a third of what they reccomend; but they do have a gain of X3, X5 and X10. So does that mean I can use the X10 and get 3.5 watts out of the...
