Thanks. It seems to me that you're saying the HD800s would sound as bad as the PXC450s which I absolutely hate and no longer use. Hell I listened to them for about a week and tried so much to like them, but I went back to my Audio Technicas very quickly. I will stay away from them then. I really...

hi all,   I'm still very much a newbie when it comes to picking a good pair of headphones and an amp. I listen mostly to classical, opera, R&B, jazz and pop.   I'm also on the bus everyday for at least 2 hours a day so finding a great pair of NR headphones with great sound is still an...

I'm still very much a newbie as to what I should get. I'm hoping that someone can pointer me towards the right direction.   Below are the headphones I own.   Sennheiser HD650 <- This is my first pair of good headphones. I use this mostly to listen to music on my iMac. Sennheiser PXC450 <-...

Does anyone know how these sound compared to true audiophile level phones like the Sennheiser HD650 and the AKG K702? Or do they sound closer to the Audio Technica ATH-ANC7/3 Noise Reduction phones? 

Arrgh! Missed it again. Please keep in informed about the next Seattle meet.   Thanks. AW  

If your computer already has SPD/IF output, is it still necessary to get the USB option with the BiFrost? I'm planning to purchase the Lyr and the BiFrost to drive the AKG 702.   I am currently using the Yamaha RX-V3800 receiver to drive the AKG702. How different would the AKG 702 sound when...

How does the Schiit Lyr compare to the Burson HA-160D when used with the K702?

I too have been shopping around for a headphone amp to drive the K702s I own, I listened to them for a bit after burning them in and decided I didn't like them as they sounded rather thin when compared to my Sennheiser HD650. My first thought was that I needed a better amp. I've been shopping...

Just received the AKG K702 a few weeks ago and I've done my best to burn them in over 10 days of constant music, unfortunately, I still find that they sound thin a little dead compared to the Sennheiser HD650. They also seem to need a lot more power to drive them. It seems like I will need to...

When is the next meet? I don't have transportation, I hope we'll be able to meet somewhere downtown next time where it's easy to get public transportation.

Thanks for the advice.   I am assuming that you are recommending the RSA SR-71A over anything else, or is there any other more affordable portable headphone amp that will work just as well?  

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD650 that I currently use with my Yamaha RX-V3800 and my Samsung TV (52LN750A.)   I'll be adding the AKG K702 to my collection very soon. I bought the K702 because of the reviews I read here. I'm hoping they sound better or are at least equal to the HD650.  ...

Count me in too! I've been waiting for this for a while now...
