Does anyone know a Chromecast box with optical output that is available on amazon.de.

I'm new to the audiophile scene, and I'm wondering: what are the best speakers (of any kind) that you can get for 150€ or under (as a pair).

I own K712 Pros, I don't have current upgrade plans. I use streaming services and I'm not sure about budget, but Def under 200€.

I have recently gotten into audio, and purchase a dac amo combo and some headphones (No speakers or it would drive my family crazy) and I have heard audiophiles talk about sound that is 'not to clean' or sounds 'imperfect in a good way' like tubes or vinyl. I want to get Into this but I'm on a...

I forgot to mention, he currently owns the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wired, do also looking for something that would complement that nicely.

The 4xx aren't available from European Amazon and I hear Drop's shipping time is ridiculous. But what about the 400i? What's the chance of a defect?

Cool, I'll be looking into that!

He has a speaker amp with a decently powered headphone output, they can power my k712s

Thanks, I'll look into that. Also, how are the lower end akg models? (Like k702/702/612)

Those are the ones I had him try, and you're right, they're brilliant, but I think he wants something different.

I heard some people say they are very sharp, is this true?

My dad has never been an audiophile, but has always appreciated good audio. He recently tried my open back headphones and was blown away, as he had previously just heard closed backs, and he wants a pair. Which ones should I get if I want the best representation of open backs as a whole...

What would be the best upgrade for the k712 pro pads and cable? I find the 3m cable to long and the coiled cable is horrible. For the pads my ears touch the drivers, so maybe some on the deeper side. Thanks!

Do you own the k712 pro?

Just the beginning

Thanks, this helps a lot. The reason I can't get speakers is because I don't live alone.

This got me thinking, If large cups have bad imaging, how come (apparently) does the K1000 have incredible imaging, if it's completely open? I've also heard from other people that the imaging on the k712 is great, I think you should see Oluv's Gadgets thoughts on AKGS in general, and their pads.

Which headphone under 500$ has the best depth perception and imaging? I'm looking at the k712 pros and hd700, any thoughts?
