    People Who Have Sold the Sennheiser HD650 and Not Looked Back?

    I love the HD650 but am curious what else is out there as this is my first good headphone.  Lots of people in the HD650 thread talk about replacing the HD650 with a flagship and coming back to the HD650.  Says a lot about the HD650, but interested about experiences of leaving the HD650 and...

    Do I Need Different Settings for 16 bit, DSD, 24 bit FLAC?

Once I have the settings optimized for DSD playback, is there any benefit to changing the Windows audio settings or Jriver settings when...

    Small Footprint Stereo Setup?

    Wife is complaining about floor standing speakers/5.1 setup in room that doubles as kids playroom. Her preference would be Sonos, which I'm not totally opposed to as I do a lot of listening on headphones these days w/ young kids asleep, but still prefer the idea of a traditional stereo setup w/...

    Any Reason to Keep 160GB Ipod Classic?

    Haven't used it recently but was considering clearing the low quality mp3s and adding lossless files or at least all high quality mp3 and keeping the iPod for running and what not (have been using my iPhone for that).  All of my hq music is in FLAC so thinking I'm better off selling the Ipod and...

    I'm new to the world of good headphones and starting with Sennheiser HD 650. Any recommendations for a portable (or semi-portable) amp or possibly amp/DAC would be appreciated.
