I did not go through with the purchase. It seems that these amps are not that popular among st hi fi enthusiasts 

Long story short.  I have the Asus Phoebus Sound card, My headphones are the philips Fidelio x1's, however will purchase the HD700 late this year.  My question is shall I sell my sound card now, and buy this amp and dac...

Its like drug habit , but with headphones.... "hey man got these cheesburgers man" (thats a movie reference internet points if you know where its from)  I now want to get a DAC and AMP for sure thats £200 right there. screw me this is one expensive habit lol. Im not even a audiophile, I just...

You know what, I have a pair of QPAD QH85 gaming headset, they are marketed as hifi audio,, infact they are just re branded berydynamics, When I first got them, and I still think this, they are the best SOUNDING GAMING HEADSET IN ITS PRICE RANGE. However once I got some HEADPHONES, aka the HD598...

So have I made a good choice with the X1 cant wait till they arrive, should be coming on the 31st

Yo stan, how much would you get if you sold all your headphones, and just kept one you liked?

ONLY complaint that I have is that the HD598 dont have enough of a bass for my liking, thats it, which gives me a feeling that I am missing out when listening to music, Also I dont know why would you want multiple headphones, Iv seen people in this forum that have the HD600, HD650 the HD800, and...

I am the type of guy, that once I found a good setup, I will stick with it. I havent got the time to buy 10 headphones try them all out which one I like, I prefer to do the research, buy the one that will fit my needs, and stick with them. As soon as I get the X1 and if they are to my liking, I...

The more I read about the Philips Fidelio X1, the more praise im hearing about them, If they perform as good as people say they do, I wont be "upgrading" to another pair unless my break down which I will get another pair. :)

GUYS I HAVE DONE MORE RESEARCH, AND I THINK I HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT HEADPHONE, AND THEY WAS ON OFFER. 44% percent off from amazon.  They have a wide soundstage, decent mids, and the bass is one of the best for an open headphone I bought the Philips Fidelio X1, and should come within a few...

So I guess I have to Test the HD650, or the HD700, and find out which One I like. 

I will be buying the magni + modi that is for sure !  To be honest ID rather have a wider soundstage, and clarity then more bass. For music, I will just get the ATH m50 for my bass needs xD. (I can get them very cheap)   

Just got of the phone to a top notch fella, going to purchase the Magni and modi for a very good price, to get me started, and I wont be buying the HD800, way to expensive for me, Will need to buy another amp which I am not prepared to do. More then likely buying the HD700 for that wide...

I am looking at the Matrix M-Stage amp, will I need a DAC for it?  And will the Matrix M-Stage amp drive 600ohm headphones?  

What about the headphone amp and dac that I linked is that any good for the HD650?

The amp you suggested not is available in the UK, can you suggest something else? What about this    Another thing is my sound card can do 24 bit 192Khz, to find a dac that can do that wouldn't it be expensive?        ...

I just started to use 320kbps MP3 files on my PC, Got Dr dre first album the chronic, and 50 cent's the massacre and get rich or die trying.  I use windows media player, so is the HD650 a good choice?

I listen to hip hop old school rap, RnB, pop, abit of rock, basically anything apart from heavy metal and classical..    My music taste ranges from Dr dre, Micheal Jackson, Guns n Roses, to Bon jovi, S.O.S band, 80's funk, stevie wonder, Marvin gaye e.t.c.  Reason Why I dont go after bass...

Its only a what if situation, I am going to buy the HD600. and most likely stick with them for my needs.  I just did a little research and apparently the HD650 have more bass? If this is true, wouldent it be better if I got the 650?

Whats the sound stage like compared to the HD598? The HD598 sound like the music is playing infront of me and around me, the vocals are so clear it feels like im there. I will be using my Asus phoebus sound card with my HD600 for the mean time, then I will upgrade to a decent amp and dac. ...

looks like I will be buying the HD600 then :)

Knowone says I cannot own BOTH the HD650 AND the HD700 xD For gaming, in general I will use the HD700 for that wide soundstage and that clarity,  For music I will use my HD650 :)  Will that be a good setup?  Now need to sell MY HD598, and my sound card on ebay xD

oh my bad, so there is a trade off, If I want a bigger soundstage, more clarity the HD700 or 800 is the way to go, If i want a smaller more accurate soundstage with more bass go with the HD650? is that what you mean?  looks like I will be buying the HD650, is it a worthy upgrade from the...

You guys are missing the point, I dont want Alot more bass, JUST a little more, so it dosent drown out the vocals, and the HD650 have a smaller soundstage then the HD598, which is Why I dont want to upgrade to the HD650. Can you guys recommend me a amp and dac to go with the HD700?.  Or...

wont my Asus Phoebus sound card be plenty enough? It can power uptop 600ohm headphones, Or shall I just get the HD700, and use them with my sound card?
