Hey guys I'm relatively new to the high end headphones and was thinking of getting my first set, but couldn't  decide on which set to get.  I did a little research online and went to the stores in my area and I've narrowed it down to the Audio-Technica ATH-M50s and the Sennheiser HD 518's I also...

  Beyerdynamic DT990 250 Pro Review As I read this forum looking for information before buying these headphones, I often wondered how to put the opinions here into perspective – I wasn't sure what standards different posters had for excellent sound and I wasn't sure how the subtle the...

Initial Impressions:     Build Quality: built well, does not feel flimsy or is going to break easy   Sound: no break in yet, but out of boxed they play well. Source is FLAC, and high bite rate mp3s coming out from Ipod and laptop sound card. I'm playing the demo cd and everything...

A few years ago I got a pair of SR-80s that I've been increasingly less impressed with the more I listen to them.  Harsh and irritating don't begin to describe them.   I started comparing some frequency response charts (thanks to headphone.com) and I decided to try doing what I could with a...

You might know Audinst for their HUD-MX1, a good-sounding and affordable DAC/amp. Well, they've recently announced the AMP-HP, a portable headphone amp. It's going to be released on June 17. http://audinst.com/en/bbs/board.php?bo_table=AMPhp&wr_id=5

Hi,   I'm looking for a USB/DAC combo for my laptop and iPod. It'll pair up with the AIAIAI TMA-1. Any recommendations? I listen to mostly Trance, House, Electro.... basically all kinds of electronic music. And my budget is below 150 USD Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone.   I recently purchased a pair of Shure SRH840 headphones.  I use these for both listening on the train and for watching movies at home so I don't disturb the kids/wife at night.    I have found the volume on these lacking when using my Samsung Galaxy Captivate android phone...

This tread is meant for Schiit Lyr users to share experiences regarding tube rolling on the amplifier in question. There are some experiences in other threads, but sparse postings makes it difficult to keep track on experiences and interpret a consensus of what kind of tubes make what kind of...

The thread title is pretty much the question. How much would I have to spend (and of course on what) so that my Netbook would sound obviously better - preferably jaw droppingly better - than my J3? Phones can be assumed to be good portable on or over ears, or IEMs, as you prefer. Music - say...

I lost the Pico amp/dac power adapter and now I am looking to replace it. I know that they need a 12v dc 500ma power adapter but I am not sure what type of connector. Maybe the people who have Pico's can check for me? 

Hey there, I was just wondering what options I have for a Portable Amp/Dac w/ Optical (To use with my Macbook Pro) I'm looking at the iBasso D10/D12 but I wasn't sure if there was anything else that was maybe a little cheaper/more accessible in the UK? (in the case of the D12). Cheers...

After much research into high quality headphone amps I am now at a point where I have several options. I have surely read most comments and reviews available and am now at a point at which I would like to make decision. However, I find this extremely hard due to the fact that I have absolutely...

How does an ideal graph looks? Does graphs also include the signature of their brand?

Greetings all. I'm new to the forum. It's good to be here and thanks for having me.    My old Sennheiser headphones are ready to retire, and i'm at a loss for which kind to replace them with; reliable and comprehensive reviews are hard to find on this matter, so thank you all for your input...
