Fantastic. I hope your right. I picked up the HE4XX for $100 open box (new) price and liked them a lot. I just sold them after a week with them to get the Sundara. I got a great price on an open box (new) on them as well from an authorized dealer. $200. I am excited to hear them but they are not...

Thanks for this info. There seems to be a consistency to the 1990’s and over abundance on the high end of the spectrum.

Hi. I just picked up some HiFiMan HE4XX for a steal of a price. I like them much better than the DT770's that I recently sold. I found that the DT770 lacked any low end, contradictory to many others impressions. The HE4XX have a nicer low end that the DT770 did. I am looking at selling the...

Nobody?

Good morning. I have an Apollo Solo interface. I like it for my recordings but the headphone amp is weak. Can someone recommend a good solution to amplify my headphone out? If I had the Apollo twin I could have just simply used the second outputs but with the Solo I am forced to use the...

I can get a pair of like new HE4XX for $100 new. I am gonna try that before I get the Sundara. Hard to pass up that deal.

I am torn. The reviews I see for the HE4XX are impressive as well. Maybe better bass response but not as much detail in the highs as the Sundara. Damn it. Haha

I am looking at the Sundara. I do worry about the bass being too thin. I had a pair of DT770 80 ohm that had too little bass for me. Has anyone compared the DT 770 and Sundara? What can I expect in the low end for differences? How do the Sundara respond to a bump in low end eq? thanks

Hi. I just sold my DT 770. I found them to be ok but the bass was so thin. I mean it was really almost non present. I am not a basshead, but even though others told me it should be there on the DT 770, it was not. I had them amplified from my Apollo Twin. Not the most powerful amp I know, but...

I was wondering a couple of things about buying the Clear used. I have someone local that is willing to sell to me. He says they are barely used and approx 1 year old. Has anyone heard any issues with the Clear having the same failure rates as the ELEX? Can anyone give me any tips on what to...

DT1770? But my TEAC UD-301 won’t power it?

Hi. Will Beyerdynamic DT 1770 (250 ohms) be able to be powered from a source that has a listed rating of 100 mW + 100 mW @ 32 ohm? Would it be recommended to go to a lesser model like the DT 770 (80 ohms) to play it safe? Thanks

Hi. I produce and mix music. I have a TEAC-UD301 that has listed headphone output of 100mW + 100mW @ 32 ohms. I am looking at Beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro that are rated at 250 ohms impedance. Will my TEAC be underpowered? Thanks

Hello. I ordered a pair of Sony mdr1000x. I have a iPhone 6S. I was wondering if anyone is happy with AAC codec streaming to their MDR1000x's? It is too bad apple refuses to adapt APTX. I was thinking should order a Sony hi res player that supports LDAC but not sure if it would be significant...

Thanks for the replies.   I a/b switched between a standard audio CD and SACD of the same album. They were both rips. I do not have a "golden ear" but I was astonished by my findings. Although I really wanted to discover that I am missing some fidelity in my 16 - 44.1 collection, I found no...

Hello   I have a 15" MacBook Pro Retina, and Apogee Duet 2 DAC, and a nice selection on mid range headphones. I primarily use iTunes as my default media player, although I do sometimes use Fidelia.   I have a couple questions that I know alot of Headfi'ers are sure to know. I have looked...

What do you think smerf?

XLD is by far the best freeware tool That I have had the privelage to use.

The denon ah-d600 does not grip or clamp at all. It is very comfortable. They are the successor to then D5000's that are mentioned above.

Cheapest I've seen is $399   http://www.amazon.ca/Denon-Maniac-AH-D600-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B008UC3Z4I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348802325&sr=8-1

No, the piano sounds great. There is a lot of strange sounds like breathing etc, but it is not breathing. It is kind of spooky. Other than that it is recorded a little quiet, turning up the gain raises the noise floor substantially. The piano and performance is outstanding. It is a shame.

20 hours of burn-in ; 5 hours white noise, 5 hours pink noise, 10 hours of general loud music.   My source consists of the following.   Music files are lossless 24 bit 44.1 KHz FLAC, ALAC, and WAV uncompressed audio files. My music player is the Fidelia Audiophile Player running...

I really enjoy the Richard Goode Beethoven Piano Sonatas. Really, really love them. Too bad the sound quality is sub-par.   Can someone recommend a better recorded Beethoven Piano Sonata set or select Sonata's from certain pianists. Also, maybe is there any other piano sonatas anyone would...
