    Alternatives to (downgrade from) HD650/HD580 with Corda Move for classical and jazz?

    My set up for a while now has been HD650s fed by a Corda Move (running with 12V) from an M-Audio Transit (i.e. I'm not using the Move's in-built DAC) using lossless (FLAC, ALAC) audio files. I'd upgraded to the HD650s from HD580s a couple of years back. Now I recently bought some Klipsch...

    Klipsch X5 v X10 v Sleek SA6 v UE SuperFi 5 v2

    Heard good things about all of these and am currently leaning towards the Klipsch X5's for reasons of comfort, ease of use and price. The X5 and the SuperFi are somewhat cheaper than the Sleek and X10 (at least here in Australia) in the order of about AUD100. My current gear is all Sennheiser...

    Easy to drive "beginner" IEM with good isolation/comfort?

    I've recently been looking for a replacement/upgrade for my Sennheiser PX100s. I was looking for something that didn't require an amp to drive from a portable source (I've got HD580s/HD650s with a Corda MOVE already) and wanted a change from the Sennheiser sound. I was looking at around the...

    Got a Go-Vibe 3 & HD580/650 - DAC recommendations?

    So I've got a Go-Vibe 3 which I use with both my Senn HD580s and HD650s and now I'm looking into a DAC solution. Given my budget limitations, I'm thinking my options are along these lines: 1) Keep the Go-Vibe and get a M-Audio Transit or Edirol UA-1EX or something similarly priced (currently...

    PDA with optical or line out?

    Does anyone have any experience with using PDAs as portable audio devices? Do any provide an optical audio out (a long shot I know) or a decent line out? Failing that, do any provide a decent headphone out? What are DELL's offerings like audio-wise?

    Specifications of Turtle Beach Audio Adapters

    Does anyone have any info on the specifications for the TBAA Amigo/Micro/etc.? Their website is silent on THD/dynamic range/SNR of these devices which makes it hard to compare them (at least on paper) to the M-Audio Transit and such like. Given the relative prices of the Turtle Beach equipment...

    Go-Vibe Mk III w/ 8620 and HD580 - Impressions

    Having been using my brand new Go-Vibe Mk III with the AD8620 upgrade with my Sennheiser HD580s for a weeks or so now I thought I'd post some initial impressions. Note that this is my first experience with a headphone amplifier and have nothing to compare it to, so my comments are really...

    Go-Vibe Mk3 vs. PA2V2 vs. Z-audio Epsilon/Mu

    I've been thinking about getting my *first* headphone amp for a while now and the choice is coming down to the following, given that I don't want spend more than USD100: - Go-Vibe Mk 3 (very likely I'll go for the AD8620 op-amp upgrade) - PowerAmp2 V2 - Z-audio Epsilon (possibly the Mu)...
