Hello all, The title says it already: I would like to use on desktop/Windows 10 the Toneboosters plugins in a similar fashio as with UAPP on android. Is there currently any way available to do that? Thank you!

So I guess my price range is too low? Btw, I tried the Harman profiles from Toneboosters in UAPP now with the X2 and I think at least concerning the frequency response it sounds pretty much right now. Really enjoyable!

I mean desktop combo (d/a with amp) for a reasonable price. Maybe below 100 or 150$ and best would be with a good DAC like ESS or AK (otherwise I guess it could be a downgrade apart from amplification). No other features needed I guess.

Just checked the website but it doesn't have a usb DAC. Is there any recommendation with an included (usb-) DAC?

Or only headphones won't work that have 3.5 input?

So HD650 for example cannot be used with this amp?

What do you think about the E1DA portable amp? Many say it is great sounding and the amp is much stronger than the MEIZU. Would you say it is easily good enough for the HD6XX/650?

Thanks for all your recommendations, but I personally could never spend more than 300$ for a headphone :'( Anyone has a link to the exact ATOM amp you mentioned?

Hello all, Is there any adapter available to go from 2.5 to 3.5 output? I have a headphone with 3.5 input, that is why I'm asking :)

Could you help me, what models exactly would you recommend. Just to get a starting point :)

Thanks a lot for your view and your experience concerning the amp thing. I will definitely look into this soon. Also curious to find out if I'm missing out on something there :)

Ah, and two other things: They are EXTREMLY well build, and very comfortable. And I can listen to them longer than with the 650s, but I guess the reason for that is that I increased the 650's volume usually highe to get enough bass response. Biggest weakness is probably the highs that could...

I have the X2 now here for about a week and wanted to share my impressions compared to HD650: - stonger bass - more bass - deeper bass - wider soundstage - feels more dynamic - apart from bass still pretty neutral - sometimes a bit too much bass (depending on song, songs I found to have the...

I have still one nearly unused available if interested :)

Sure, will report :)

Little update, I ordered now the Fidelio X2HR for below 127€ from Amazon.fr X3 might be the nicer one but the forst months it will likely be more than twoce the price. So I guess it is a good choice. Thanks a lot for your help!

I guess you are right. Just watched the guy from superreview and he said he was positively surprised by the soundstage of the Meze 99. Actually I am already pretty sure this will not be my last headphone and I still need a good closed back anyway. The Philips X2 seems also interesting while I...

Great recommendations, thanks. Will look deeper into those. Fidelio X3 might be interesting but seems to be not released yet. The Meze 99 neo looks also interesting for below 200$, but probably not a good soundstage because of closed back...?

I actually just checked. It is 10mW/300 Ohm for the dongle and probably 14mW for the phone (LG G7 value). Many reviewer compared the phone sound quality with expensive DACs and think differences are negligible. Also the guy from audiosciencereview mentioned that the dongle (meizu pro hifi dac)...

Thanks, I will take a look at those! The budget should be below 300$, better around 150-200

The Pro5 is not a normal smartphone. It has a pretty good audio amp (TI OPA something) and ESS9018 DAC. So I don't believe it is really too weak. The Hifimans might be interesting. I will have a look into them. Thanks!

It might be true that a stronger powered amp also brings some advantages. But I am totally happy with the delivery of my devices and they have plenty of power although might be less refined compared to your recommendation. Also I want to remain mobile with my setup so this is not really an...

Ah, and for the music type, I am happy when playing insteumental or rock musik but when playing some electronic or pop music I think there should be more dynamic and bass sometimes.

Both not yet. Did you? Do you have a recommendation for good EQs for smartphone use?

I am using mostly a Meizu Pro 5 as source. I also have the Meizu and Ztella DAC dongles here. I do not really want to switch to desktop amps and to be honest I don't think there is a lack of power. Or do you have other experiences?
