I notice a clear difference in SQ between using the headphone out and Apple's Universal dock, both through my Hi-Fi and via my X-can v3 into sennheiser HD650's. The top end via the line out appears less 'gritty' and more refined to me. Given that the Universal dock is apparently not a 'true'...

Well, I took a gamble and bought one of these off Ebay (still linked to Ornec) for £99, to drive my Sennheiser HD650's. Other than my little PA2V2, which can't hanle the 650's, this is the first headphone amp I've heard. Although it certainly 'drives' the 650's with some ease and the overall...

I'm looking to buy some Senn HD650's as unfortunately I seem to have acquired the head-fi upgrade bug and I think they'll marry together and improve upon the specific qualities I like from my HD595's and HD485's. At the moment, though, I could only realistically drive them from my Yamaha...

Although I've searched these forums and found numerous threads comparing these two headphones, there seems to be conflicting reports on which has the best bass. I know 'best' is going to be very much down to individual opinion, so I'd be grateful to hear simply how the two compare in terms of...

Thanks for that pointer...will research that one. BTW I'm in London, UK so will probably need to find a retailer who will ship internationally. There doesn't seem to be as much choice of models over here.

I know very little about headphone amps, other than what I've read here, so I'd be grateful for any advice as to which ones I should consider buying, based on my requirements, as set out below. 5G video ipod and three pairs of headphones. Sennheiser PX100's for out and about and a pair of...

errrr....I've got a 5g 60gb ipod and a multimeter, but how do I measure DC offset?

Hi, I'm a headphone newbie compared to many of you here and therefore would really welcome your thoughts on what headphones I should shortlist as potential upgrades from my PX100's. The phones will be used primarily with a 5G Ipod so will need to be fairly sensitive and reasonably small. I...
