Here is an interesting read concerning MQA:  http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2016/06/an-inconvenient-truth-mqa-sounds-better/ And a quote from the article concerning lossyness:

  I am just now implementing some new features in fortran. It is still widely used especially in the research community. It is still the best and fastest language if you are working with big arrays and computations on them. That being said computer science is a very young science compared to...

Yeh, the ability to choose what kind of switches I wanted was the biggest reason why I chose the ergo dox. I also happen to like the split design. Used a microsoft keyboard that was split for several years. Does wonders for your touch typing. Another cool thing with the ergo dox is the ability...

Pretty happy with how my ergo dox and o2 came out. Just wish I would Have bought the red M4U2 instead of the black one. [img]http://i.imgur.com/7CDv5ic.jpg

  Clears are the best for typing imo. The "new" green ones are apparently also very nice if you like the old IBM keyboards.

I would just like to say that I really love this story, as well as all the small additions in between. Its amazing how much better I feel about a company that is this honest and transparent. Honesty is unfortunately in short demand among big companies, not to mention governments. It really...

  I have no idea, I had the same problem. When I decided to build myself an ergodox the problem went away though =) Edit: Ordered from the US ofc...

I think I might have to replace my magni with something a bit hotter. The magni doesn't quite have the juice to keep my coffee warm.

I guess finding a closed back 650 is a tall order, I will probably enjoy a different headphone more anyway. And I'll just have to settle for a different sound at work. Also it might make me apriciate the HD650s in a new way, Having listened to something else all day. Would you say they are in...

Is that the only difference between the DT150 and DT250? The resistance?   nm, found out on the Beyer webpage: http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/dt-150.html vs. http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/dt-250.html

So, after having read more of that thread, I am very tempted to just get these, They are very cheap I would say if they deliver what it looks like from the impressions. 

I have demoed both the viso hp50 and the momentums, And although they both sound pretty good I don't think they come close to what my HD650s delivers.  The beyer dt150 sounds interesting, Can't find them at a local store though, so no chance to demo them. And altough I don't really worry much...

I am in the same boat. Have the HD650s and I love the sound. But the leak a bit too much for office use, So I am looking for something that sounds similar but doesnt leak as much which means closed. Is there something in the sub $500 range that does that. What about the sennheiser 380 pros...

I am not sure about a dac with both optical and usb, but you could get a magni as an amp at least. I am very happy with mine with the HD650.  As for the dac, a modi could be a solution. It comes with either usb or optical though, not both. If you go for the modi / magni combo they only cost 99$...

I would suggest splitting the signal before the amp(s). and simply buying two separate amps. The schiit magni for instance is a good value cheap amp (99$) and buy two will allow you to have separate volume for 2 headphones. The magni can drive almost any headphone as well.  

nice, I am also waiting for a HD650 and the magni/modi. What schiit did you get?

Thanks, I am already looking at what I want to get next though. I think this might get expensive fast ^^.

Figured I'd get on the schiit train as well. Ordered the entry level magni and modi combo. And got a pair of Senn HD650s on the way as well. Can't wait to get it. Will hopefully be a nice improvement over my current Fiio E07 -> PSB M4U2 :)

Sports Guru apparently. ^^,

The question would be if his friends can stand a cheaper mic. ;)

Just finished building my ergodox http://i.imgur.com/kExk9N7.jpg Quite happy with the result. Altough I am struggling adjusting to the matrix layout. Only on the second day so far tough. So hoping I will have it down by the end of the week (: Edit: Forgot to add, I built it with mx clears and...

I have both the sennheiser pc360 and the qpad qh-90 They are both very good gaming headsets, the sennheiser being slightly better imo. Also more expensive though.  Beware they are both open and have next to no isolation. Because of this I bought the qh-90(closed version of the qh-85) for him...
