With the current situation it's really difficult to demo headphones unfortunately. I've heard mixed stuff about the Utopias, some people say they really prefer clears over Utopias which is weird. Also, I think 4k$ for the Utopias would be a bit too much for me. What's a deadphone? :D ZMF is...

How are these with old rock music and rock n roll? Like AC/DC, Guns n Roses, Pink Floyd, the Beatles etc. I'm really torn between these and the Aryas :D

Has anyone compared the DAC in this to the Topping D70? Is there any reason to upgrade to a D70 other than balanced output?

What about desktop amps? Is something from Schiit or Woo Audio for example going to be any better than the ifi bl?

Any recommendations for an amp or a dac/amp for to pair with the Atlas for under 500$? Desktop amps are fine too as I'd probably mostly be using it on my desk but some thing like the Chord Mojo or the iDSD IFI black label would also be nice as I'd be able to use it portably if need be :)

Couldn't really find a store here around Phoenix.

I ordered my pair of Atlas IEMs yesterday. Seems like they are on back order for 6-8 weeks unfortunately. Who is buying all of them? :D

Does anyone have any experience with the Atlas, or really any of the CA IEMs with the Cowon Plenue D?

Hmm, interesting recommendation. What's special about the Lola's?

Has anyone listened to both Atlas and KSE1500/1200? I' thinking on buying a high-end IEM and mostly listen to 60's-80's rock and rock n roll. As I can't demo either one I'd like to know your thoughts.

Does anyone have experience with the Vega out of the Cowon Plenue D?

Right now from support: "Yes there is, it's running right now till the end of the show! 10% off anything EXCEPT Earphones. However, with the purchase of any full price Earphone we are throwing in a free lightning cable! Use Code: RMAF2017 at checkout! Here is the link...

Does the sale have anything to do with Andromeda or Vega?

What source are you using?

So I'm thinking of getting a Vega or the Massdrop Noble Kaiser 10s. I mostly listen to classic rock and the Beatles. Any suggestions? Thanks. I have the Plenue D myself right now. I didn't realize the Vega was so picky about the source!

Yes but as I understand it the Vega is supposed to be more musical. What makes you recommend the Andromedas? P.S. I have the Shure se425s right now. There are pretty nice and clean but not that engaging.

As posted in the Vega thread, I'm thinking of getting a Vega or the Massdrop Noble Kaiser 10s. I mostly listen to classic rock and the Beatles. Any suggestions?

Woo audio WA7d at Massdrop for 649$.

No, but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work. Specially with the new ones that just got announced.

Just ordered one from Gmarket. They cancelled my order at first and requested and ID to make sure I was the owner of the Paypal account and they didn't accept my passport! Everything worked out in the end though. Great sound quality and amazing battery life? Count me in :D 

Are the Grados still the best headphones for the Beatles?

Disinterring a really old thread :) I mostly listen to the Beatles (and some other classical rock from time to time) and about to buy a pair of headphones. Money is not really an object but I prefer not to get too wild. So taking into consideration the remasters that are out now and all the new...

So the thing you're saying is that and LCD-X with a solid state amp would be better, but will an e12 be all I need or do I need a desktop amp?

And how would you describe the XC out of the Oppo HA-1 and the ALO Pan Am compared to the e12? :D
