I'm definitely jumping in on this. Would love to use that A1

Haven't been on head-fi for a while but I'll respond now.    @G00ny The Yeti Pro (as opposed to the Yeti which I thought was confirmed to work in a video) didn't work with the PS4 via its USB output.  Not for me at least. (update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmxb_C4eyHI yeah it goes...

So my m100's came in two days ago.   My first impression was as follows: impressed with the comfort, XL pads make them evenmore comfortable, the heat isn't that big of a deal for me, turned down the extra bass depending on the song, the m80's seemed to have better upper/mid detail even when I...

@jodgey4 I would if I could but I can't right now because I'm stranded on a large college campus without my car.   I'm just going to pull the trigger on the m100's and return them if I don't like them. This is my plan for backup plans: 1. m100 2.psb m4u/hp50/m500 3. Sony 1r/1a or UE9000 4...

So I took my time researching and haven't bought any new headphones yet. I bought the ODAC and C5 amp from JDS labs. (Wow they are so small now! same size as the C5D) I think the C5 bass boost works well on the m80's, and the ODAC helps too. I read that the m80's don't benefit from amping so I...

 For home use, I've been using hd 650's with a NFB-11 2014 edition amp/dac. About a week ago (when i was looking to upgrade my portable setup), I saw that the m80's were being discontinued and sold on amazon for $80. I was aiming for the m-100's but I couldn't pass up that deal after hearing...

@DRDHsOSF@DRDHsOSF That doesn't seem like it would work. The PS4 is picky with USB devices. Only a small list of things actually work with it. It's worth a try though. (Edit: I misread that so hard. If you mean HD 800 + Yeti -> DAC -> ps4, then I would think not. How can the DAC send a signal to...

For the sake of closure, I'll give an update on what happened. I ended up holding off on getting an amp/dac for a while. When I had decided to get the 11.32, Audio-GD no longer offered the 11.32, I knew nothing about their other products, and other unrelated stuff came up. So, later on, after...

I guess since i started this thread, i'll give an update on how everything worked out. The Astro mixamp worked well enough with the 650's. (The NFB-11 works wonders with the 650's for listening, but that's off topic.)   I'm still unsure on how to get the Yeti Pro to work with my console setup...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FBV6V56/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1   i was going to get the mixamp for $130 but then i saw this deal. amazon has a refurbished version (of the normally $250 bundle) sold by astro for $180, meaning $60 for the A40's. I can always use them for...

@Reckless95 =/. No mixamp then? also the Yeti and Snowflake work via USB but my Yeti Pro doesn't seem to work by USB. So close.   I'm not sure where to go from here. Do i just go for my preferred 650/amp/dac setup route and try to make it work for my consoles? or do i get something separate...

I'll probably order the Astro mixamp to start.   @Reckless95 I agree. Buying lesser Headphones now does seem like waste.   @PurpleAngel XLR to 3.5mm does exist but it looks potentially problematic from what i've read.   I wanted to get an actual amp/DAC setup anyways.   Maybe something...

according to what i've been reading, the audio gd 11.32 sounds better than the ODAC but is more complicated to set up (usb driver issues?) and requires a spdif converter (?). The 11.32 has a better chip than the 15.32 (which sounds warmer or so i read). JDS Labs apparently now has a limited...
