My dac/amp knowledge is pretty limited, so what would the Woo Audio Fireflies offer that the JDS Labs The Element does not?  Main thing I suppose is the fact that the Fireflies is an actual tube amp?

Anyone have any insight at all?  If I am in the wrong thread, please let me know, happy to post somewhere else.

Bump - anyone have any input?

Hello there everyone.  I have had my Sennheiser HD700s for a little while now and absolutely love them.  However,  I just got done building a new pc and decided to not have a dedicated sound card and go for an external amplifier and dac possibly.  I have never owned an external amplifier/dac...

How do they manage to achieve loss less quality when the other giants of streaming service are not?  Also do any of you use it, do you feel the $19.99 is justified for what is offered?

Well I listen to music regularly when I am on the computer.  But do you just not consider streaming services music, lol?

Liam, thanks for the insight.  I am for just trying to get a general consensus of if I would be able to notice a significant difference in the gaming I do and in the music I listen to.  I personally do not have a plethora of lossless quality files that I listen too, typically I listen to...

Nobody has any input?  Bump though for the weekend!

Hello there everyone, been sometime since I last posted.  However, after finally breaking down, and getting a good sale on Amazon, finally picked up a pair of Sennheiser HD700s.  So far I am thoroughly enjoying them, they are HANDS DOWN, the most comfortable headphones I have owned, feels like I...

Yes, currently have a Asus Xonar Essence STX powering them.   However, just got the AKG K712 Pros in and OH WOW, are they comfortable.  I thought that the HD650s felt good, but these things barely feel like they are on your head.  So far right out of the box I am having a hard time deciding...

Hey there everyone, so after getting my HD650s in yesterday I have begun breaking them in with some pink noise at a bit above a comfortable volume.  Now from reading other posts on this topic in the forums it seems that a 100-200 hour break in period is suggested to get them sounding just...

Oh on another note as to the performance on the AXSTX.  I know I am by no means an audiophile expert.  But as far as the soundcards ability to drive these.  Absolutely no problem.  At the 64-300 ohm setting, I have sounds playing at 75% within the the Xonar Audio Center, and about 35-40% within...

So I have had pink noise running through the HD650s for just a single evening, wake up this morning and wow do they sound phenomenal.  Classical and solo pianist songs sound just stellar.  Trying out some original movie sound tracks from Lord of the Rings/Hobbit right now, and the precision is...

Alrighty, so just got the HD650s in and I just thought.  This is my first pace of true reference grade headphones.  Do I need to break them in in some specific way before I start listening to them or can I just listen to them at not a max volume for awhile before fully turning up the volume.  As...

Hahahah, I know right!  He was apparently scared by the headphone wire touching his foot.  Then just bolted the opposite direction of my desk, good night headphones.  I was thankful it didn't damage my pc or the connections on my sound card.  So I suppose I should feel lucky that it just ripped...

Well I was just about ready to order the AKG K712 Pros, but then decided to order the Sennheiser HD650s,  I have used Sennheiser for so long now I figured it would definitely be a safe bet that I would really enjoy the sound signature of the HD650s.  Additionally I know the ear cups will be...

Are there any other headphones that are similar to the Sennheiser HD600/HD650 or the AKG K712 Pros in terms of comfort and are better or equal to in sound quality that you folks know of?  I realize that sound quality is a very general description, but as I stated I can't adequately describe my...

Like wise on the clamping for the Shure/AKG, I have just read a lot of reviews stating they are very comfortable and fit anyone.  But yes the PC360 almost felt like nothing was there.   What was the reason that gamers you have seen prefer the K612 over the K712?  I thought the K712 improved on...

So things like the AKG K712 Pro, Sennheiser H600/650, Shure SRH1840/1440 would not sound better for my music tastes as well as gaming?  How is that possible?  I understand the virtual surround conversion and its possible that there could not be a distinct difference while gaming, but for the...

Looking for an upgrade over the PC360s, to my knowledge the HD558s are the exact same driver, or a lower quality driver.  Could be wrong though.  And no, I don't have the onboard mobo audio disabled, I use speakers as well.  Which are connected to the motherboard.  Why would I need to disable...

Hello there again folks, haven't been around on the forums much since I was seeking advice for my earphones.  However, yesterday evening my Doberman decided to get his foot twisted around the cable of my PC360s and didn't like the feeling, and decided to bolt in the opposite direction.  In doing...

Yeah so after nearly 12 hours of and on wear, the little sharp edge on the outside near the "e" in the "UE" logo, where the diagonal line goes across the front, wont keep from fatigueing my ears with all the various foams tips or rubber tips. Dr.Sheep, and anyone else who has wotn both IEMs...

Oh yeah, I realized that was what you were saying.
