Thanks for the advice. I have more reviews to read now but seems to narrowed down my choices.   1) AKG K702 2) Beyer T1 3) ATH W1000Z

  Seems affordable. Not sure if buying from DWI (Hong Kong) would be a good idea. However, It's being advertised as Made in Slovakia.     True, though what I meant was comparing headphones vs headphones for the type of music.I guess like buying a bassy headphone and upgrading to something...

Type of music: more into mids and highs and not a bass head. Wide sound stage and clear vocals. Something that will make Celine Dion and Mariah Carey shine.   Previous Headphone: Hifiman HE-500 Current Headphone: Shure 1440 DAC: Aune T1se (coming soon) with Electro Harmonix or JJ E88CC...

After days of nearly giving up, finally made it to work to a 64-bit w8.1 in USB 3.0. To those who have not gotten it to work yet, this is what I did.   1) Uninstall all previous versions (iBasso Mango Hifi Audio Device and similar). 2) Plug the DX90 3) Download the installer, go to the...

Yup - it just vanished.   Will see if I can do a system restore before it BSOD or check for hidden options. 

This one worked as well on Windows 7 64-bit as I tried it on my work PC, but the exclamation mark for mine came from the word 'DX90' but I still used the same install directory and it worked.   The problem I am having now is that the 'iBasso Mango Hifi Audio Device' is not showing anymore on...

BSOD in W8.1 before and after uninstalling the previous version of the DAC.   Tried running it in compatibility mode as well to no avail.   Hopefully they will release a new fix soon.

Just sharing my experience. I am not too technical in terms of audio terminologies so bear with me.    Bought one after reading through the threads, and after using them for a couple of hours, I prefer them over the Shure SE 535 Red Editions.   Not that the red editions aren't bad; for...
