I personally wouldn't recommend the Vmoda Zn. The mids feel way too recessed for me even though I tend to lean towards V-shaped gear....

Yeah stick with the Yamaha amp and just get a decent DAC.....the HD 650 actually isn't that hard to drive despite its high impedance rating. That $100 little dot amp is a pretty decent deal if you want to go with tubes or you want it to complement your Yamaha amp. I used to own the Dark Voice...

I had the exact same rattling problem on the pair that I sold...was kind of scary to hear on an expensive pair of headphones.

Please keep us updated! I was also looking at that combo as I need a closed headphone setup now.

Can’t recommend these enough, I had the FiiO F9 until I upgraded to my Massdrop Plus and Dorados. Plenty of detail and just the right amount of u-shape to have an enjoyable yet still fairly balanced experience.

Same here....even if it is enough to power the headphones I’m not so keen on not being able to use your own DAC....Maybe I’m worrying too much, we’ll see when it comes out I guess.

That’s weird....did you get it on the day of the 20% eBay sale? Thats when my friend bought it and he had the same issue....

Thanks to you both! I’ll definitely try the penon tips out first and we’ll see from there....

Oh wow....I've never heard of sugru before. That might actually be what I need haha! It'll probably make resale value a bit better than dremeling but I doubt I'll want to sell them...

Anyone know if there's a mod/a way to smooth out the corners of the Andromeda? I tried my friend's pair and although it was comfortable at first, the corners/bumps on the side facing the inside of your ears started making my ears soar....loved the sound though :(!

So I actually checked out these clips (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075K5DRZ9?tag=5336119060-20&th=1) that are mentioned in this comment. If you don't want to mod anything, you can actually buy the .28inch clips and put it on the nozzle that leads to the ear tips (I don't know what you'd call it)...
