Upgrade path from Burson HA-160D?
Hello, I have this DAC/Amp combo... I'm wondering how much better I can get after this. I do love that it has multiple inputs (I use currently only two of them) and looks nice and solid. I know the DAC section is the weak one and I do have a Dacport LX connected to it, so the sound comes...- damianmb

Which ones to keep? HD6XX, AKG K7XX, Shure SRH-1840, HE4XX
Hello guys, I have these open headphones and wanna know your opinions about keepers. I do listen to music and nothing professional. I'm mostly feeding them from a Burson HA-160D, Dac sometimes switched to a Dacport LX (sound gets cleaner) and occasionally from my mac on a DragonFly Red. Shure...- damianmb

How is BURSON HA-160D today?
It's selling used like new for 400 usd here. I have a Dragonfly 1.2 atm. It's from 2011 as far as I know... no idea till when it was still produced. Or if for that money there is something better now.- damianmb

Amp/Dac combo for Shure SRH 1840
Hello, I currently drive them with a Dragonfly v1.2 and they are kind of dry... I know the cans are neutral but a little warmness and punchy bass would help. There is a used Alo The Island here for around 90 USD but not sure if I should get something from Massdrop. I have somewhere a...- damianmb

DT 770 Pro 250 ohms compared today
Hello, I can get a barely used DT 770 PRO 250 ohms for around 90 usd. So I was wondering how it compares to today's headphones as I understand they are quite old. Other options I have in mind are Oppo PM3, Sony 1000X and Denon MM400, but they are much more expensive. I plan to leave them...- damianmb

Oppo PM-3 vs Sony 1000X?
Hey there, Couldn't find a post about this. I was able to try the 1000X but not the Oppo. I have a B&W P5 and a Scullcandy Crusher but as my reference headphones are Shure SRH1840 and Shure SE535, once a use the portables they kind of lack a lot in the sound department. I also have Bose...- damianmb

DAC/AMP for Shure SRH1840
Hi, I have already a C421 and Dacport LX but as I'm moving around from one place to another with my laptop I hate the cables around. So I'm looking for an All in One solution.

Desktop Amp/DAC combo for SRH1840, HD650, HE400/HE500 and maybe a 2 channel hi-fi speaker
Hi All, I have a Dacport LX + C421 and I hate having two cables to connect them to my laptop. Now I own a SRH1840 but I plan to get those other headphones. My budget is let's say 1K but I can spend more if it justified. Where I am I can get mainly Schitt and Burson, but I might...- damianmb

From HD650 to HD700, anyone?
Hi, I'm actually enjoying a HD598. No.. I don't have an HD650, but as many have recommended it, then I want to know how big is the leap; also if anyone jumped from the HD650 to the HD700 and is living to tell it :). Any other recommendation is welcome. I'm having a Dacport LX + C421...- damianmb
