I emailed Audio-GD directly and asked them what model they would recommend for the Campfire Audio Andromeda IEMs and they replied that their headphone amps are not suited for IEMs because they are all high gain.

I've read a lot of good things about Audio-GD and would jump on it if I only used my Sennheiser headphones. Although the output impedance of the NFB-11.28 is a respectable 2 Ω, the Campfire Audio Andromedia IEMs are very sensitive and it would change the frequency response of the earphones...

Hello, I have the Sennheiser HD650 (300 Ω impedance), the Campfire Audio Andromeda (12.8 Ω @ 1kHz Impedance) and the Aurisonics ASG 2.5 (41 Ω). I'm looking for a full-size headphone amp for my computer that is powerful enough for the HD650 yet sensitive enough for the Andromeda IEMs. It does...

Those Red ASGs look just like mine, Except I'm not using a $1400 cable :)   This is why I'm holding out for the Red Fiio X5iii   Quote:

Can you please elaborate? What features are not available in the standard Android mode?

So I picked up a used FiiO A5 in preparation for the X5-III. Unfortunately, the seller had lost the bands  I'll have to see if they make a new stacking kit for the X5-III.   Quote:

We'll find out in about two weeks when our DAPs are delivered.   Quote:

Is the FiiO Q5 still on track to be released in April/May? If so, how does it compare to the X5-III?

  Yes that would be great thanks! I'm a basshead with both a Campfire Audio Andromeda and an Aurisonics ASG 2.5 and I was specifically concerned that it would kill my low end if I used that 3ohm balanced connection.

  I saw from the spec sheet that the balanced connection is 3 ohm. That will negatively affect most IEMs that were designed to work with lower <1 ohm output impedance. If I do decide to go with the FiiO X5-III then I'll just avoid the balanced connector altogether.

I suspect NAS would be superior file transfer speeds, but Twonky is simply a DLNA server, so any DLNA client would be able to playback the audio. As long as there is no transcoding done then the quality will remain intact.

  I don't know what AMP3 is, but being able to stack two 10% coupons sounds good to me. What's the URL?    I see B&H and Adorama both have the FiiO X5-III available for preorder. Any coupons available for these sites?

Are the audeze isine iems even out yet?

I haven't tried the se215 but I had the Shure 425 and it had a neutral flat sound signature. 

If you are looking for a bass heavy TOTL IEM, keep your eyes out for a used pair of Aurisonics ASG 2.5. They can usually be had for around $500.

The JDS Labs Element is only a USB Audio class 1 device. I would avoid it.   http://www.thewelltemperedcomputer.com/KB/USB.html   Schiit's JOTUNHEIM is a bit more expensive but much more powerful and would drive the HD800S much better. especially with the balanced outputs. I think Audio...

Actually I just checked on Amazon.co.uk if you order the HD650 from there, including shipping to the US it is even cheaper, it is $271.

Have you considered Audio GD's NFB-11?

Looks like you just missed the SE215 sale for $69 shipped.   https://www.headphone.com/collections/headphones/products/shure-se215-sound-isolating-earphones   Also take a look at 1MORE Triple Driver.

Have you considered the RHA MA750?

The Sennheiser HD650 is on sale now on Amazon for $299. Yes it's slightly above your budget but you will not regret it. 

That's like asking if anyone here speaks English.  They are awesome headphones. They are a little warmer sounding than the HD600s and they scale extremely well with a good amp. Especially tube amps. That's a great price too. Take good care of them and you will enjoy them for a long time.   Quote:

For a neutral IEM that you wear straight down like your xiaomi in your price range, check out the Hifiman RE400, Philips Fidelio S2, or Etymotic Research HF5.

Audio GD's NFB-11 sells for $300. You should take a look at that.

How about the MEE Audio M6PRO?
