M83 - StarWaves   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwsEH3dTJG4   Beautiful track from Oblivion OST. Build up slowly and perfectly

  Received my MM stack this morning! They sound incredible, been listening to them for a few hours. It's my first amp/DAC, so I don't really have anything to compare them to, besides using the HD650 unamped. The difference is remarkable. So much more body behind the sound, everything is...

Quote:   I have an android phone and a iPod classic lol, I have also been using Foobar too as my player. But with Jriver, I read with Gizmo I can use my android phone as a remote for its player.   Are there any other equivalent of the remote app you were talking about for Android or...

Quote:   To my rescue again, thanks. Just ordered the MM stack and PYST cables! Can't wait!  

Regarding the Magni/Modi stack. I know it's USB only. I'm going to be using it with my gaming PC. So I need a printer-like USB cable from the stack to my PC.    Is it possible to use my iPod as a source? For example, if I'm across the room and do not want to keep going back to the PC to...

Quote:     Quote: Brilliant, pretty much the answers I was looking for! I was coming from a Bose AE2, but after trying on some better more expensive headphones, I couldn't really go back.   I hope the MM stack will power them well, also entertaining the idea of the Valhalla +...

Quote:   Excellent, your post pretty much answered all the questions and erased any doubts that I had. It also enhanced my opinion of the Head-Fi community, of which I'm very new to. Everyone has been extremely helpful and meeting some of you at the London meet was great!   Sometimes...

Quote: Thanks for the prompt response.   From your signature, you have the Valhala too? Would it be worth pushing for that and maybe save up for a DAC in the near future? Do you hear much of a difference from the MM stack?   My source would predominantly be my gaming PC, however...

Looking to pull the trigger on my first amp for my new HD650, I've listened in-store to numerous amps (most outside my price range of ~£200) and they sound incredible! Loving the HDVD800, but £1.5k..maybe after university!     I've moved away from the fiio E12 and other portable amps as I...

Quote:     Thanks for the reply, I've moved away from the E12 and other portable amps as per everyone's suggestions, also emailing a few stores around me and they're advising the same.    think I may pull the trigger on the M+M stack, they're relatively cheap and fall almost within...

Been reading about the m+m stack all day and people have great things to say about them. The lack of a punchy bass and veiled sound right now that I'm experiencing, will that be changed with the m+m stack? Or would a e12 be more the direction I should be heading, with the bass toggle? Thanks...

Thanks for all the replies!   Quote: Regarding the M&M, if you don't mind me asking, in what way would they be better? When compared to un-amped (just to compare) and also JDS C5 / Fiio E12.    I'd be tempted by the M&M if trading in the portability of an E12/C5 for the stacks gave...

Thanks for the reply, deliberating between the jds c5 and the fiio e12. Would love for something to push the mids forward and also give a punchier bass, without distorting the vocals or anything else. Would the two mentioned amps be significantly lacking compared to the m+m stack?

Hey all, I've recently purchased a pair of HD650s after listening to them for a good time at my local store. Upon first use, they didn't really wow me straight away. Let me just make it clear that I'm currently listening to them unamped and using just an ipod. At the moment, listening to...

Hey all!    Would just like to say thank you to everyone I spoke to and let me use their equipment! I'm very new to all this and it was my first meet, it was very enjoyable! Thanks to GSARider, Sennheiser and Custom-Cables for organising such a great event. Also to my girlfriend, who was...

Heading there with my girlfriend, really excited about attending my first meet! Hope that's ok, won't need any food! Hoping to buy a pair of hd650 and maybe a portable amp!

Brilliant, thanks so much for your reply! Pretty much answered all my questions and reaffirmed what I was looking at before. I'll work on slowly building my own portable set! Thanks, Chris

Thanks for the prompt reply! Exactly what I was looking for. I've been reading and leaning towards the c5 and after looking at the reviews for them, it's hard to resist! Just a drawback is that living in the UK, I can't seem to find one for sale. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong places? Also, the...

Hey all! Been researching a new pair of IEMs the last few weeks on here and I love the community on these forums. Basically, I'm kinda new to this but after being brought up listening to my dads crazy home set up (naim mono set up with kef speakers). Hours and hours with my dad listening to...
