Quote: Chico (or any new K712Pro owners),   Great review/impressions of the K712 and very much appreciated.  Well, actually you guys are constantly making me look for the next best thing so not so appreciated....Damn Head-Fi! LOL. My question actually concerns the competitive gaming...

Quote: An A/V receiver such as Pioneer has excellent headphone surround that supports everything including DTS & Dolby TrueHD.  It can't decode DTS HDMA but, will use the core DTS instead.  I use XBMC for my Bluray .mkv's and it works perfectly with my entire 300+ collection.  I actually...

Quote: But is it worth nearly 3X that of the D7000??

Quote: No problem...I do have a question regarding competitive gaming w/ Annie, X1, and D7000. If anyone has experience w/ these in online play particularly w/ BF3, Black Ops (or any COD), etc., I was curious which one (X1 or Annie) does the majority prefer?  I am keeping the D7000 for...

Quote: What's the resistance on the Mediabridge cable...if you have a multimeter to test with??

Quote: Tyll @ InnerFidelity stated the VModa cable had 0.5 ohm in his X1 review.  My multimeter has alligator clip leads so its a little easier to measure.  He claimed 0.5-0.8 is normal so the Monoprice (1ohm) may be negligible.  I run mine thru A/V receiver (via phones surround which I...

Quote: FYI to all X1 buyers....There might be some like myself that are curious about the Monoprice cable but, it actually has @1ohm resistance so although better than stock (@2ohm), it isn't the @0.5ohm? of the VModa cable.   MLE or other familiar users,   I thought I saw that you...

Quote: MLE, Better than Denon D7000? I find that hard to believe since I just got the D7000(+Lawton Pads), X1, He-400 and have had the Annie for 6months.  Comparing them all to each other in single player games and movies exclusively, I go to the D7000 first every time no question.  I...

MLE,   Referring to your guide @ the Denon D7000, did you review them with stock pads or Lawton Angle pads (or J$)?    I actually just won auction of D7000 w/ Lawton Angle pads but, was curious how much closer the Lawton pads would get them in comparison to the Annie's for competitive...

Hey all,   After studying this thread for some time, I have been a happy "Annie" owner for 5 months now but, I was curious if anyone owning/owned the HE-400 have installed the velour pads along w/ Jerg's grill mod described...

Quote: Appreciate and respect your advice/opinions.  Correct me if wrong, I thought the double amping just added to the power output.  I re-boxed Magni but, still have it.  Maybe I will give it more time.  My concern and goal was to have a little more low end presence as I typically use 7.1...

Quote: But would you say the Mixamp+E11 is sufficient for the Annie?  I also use E11 attached to Pioneer AVR (Phones Surround) as well.  If not, is there another more powerful amp (under $200 or so) that also has a bass boost or adjustable EQ like the E11 that may do Annie's more...

MLE,   Are you planning on reviewing the Annie and updating the guide before you sell the mixamp??  

MLE,   Are you going to review the Annie and update your game guide before you sell the Mixamp??

Quote: Pioneer's Headphone Surround is good too. I've gamed w/ it for past few years as well as DH and I have no problems with it. FYI... THE GAME CHANGER MAYBE THE NEW DTS HEADPHONE X SHOWN @ CES THIS YEAR.  Very good impressions of it and will come out at end of year.

Quote: MLE or anyone else with the first hand knowledge,   Would you say the Magni will be good for the Q701/K702 Annie if its paired w/ the Mixamp Pro 2013 (and its includes EQs)?  I currently have the HD598 (love them but trying to get more bass and keep competitive score high) and...

Quote: I bitstream via HDMI only from PS3 (as well as HTPC) to Pioneer AVR so as to ensure best A/V experience possible.  Hmmm...good to know about the receiver driving 600ohm as I was skeptical and opted for DT990, 250ohm instead (I may swap them to compare now).   Appreciate the...

Hello all and special thanks to MLE,   As a long time lurker, I used this guide to purchase a pair of HD598 @ a year ago and have been happy w/ them.  But, upgraditis has hit me so I have some questions for a worthy successor if someone would be so kind as to offer some incite that I really...
