Subtle, unassuming headphone amp/dac for work
Hi head-fiers, This might sound like a weird question. But. I'm looking to bring a headphone amp/dac to work and my criteria are two fold. Firstly I'd like something that'll de-muddify the mids of AT W1000X headphones and power them nicely. But equally as importantly, I need it to be...- levinhatz

Audio Technica ATH-A900X vs Audio Technica ATH-W1000x?
I am looking to upgrade from my ATH A900X and I don't know where to turn. If anyone wants to recommend a non-Audio Technica headphone that's perfectly fine too, but I'm just comfortable with ADT. Can anyone tell me if the ATH-W1000x is good enough (better than the A900X) to justify a purchase...- Toxicman1994

Shure SRH1540 vs Audio Technica W1000x.
From what I have read and researched both of these headphones sound somewhat similar. I know very little on how both headphones behave, other than they are both bassy but detailed as well. Their price points are very similar, $500 for the Shure's and $500 +/- (used) for the Audio Technica's. ...- Sony Slave
