Looking for the most powerful DAC/Amp "all-in-one". Any suggestions? So far it's looking like the Burson Conductor but that bad boy costs $1,850.00.... Hopefully something as powerful but not as expensive? Under $1200.00? 

This is the summary post on my metal music listening experience with a couple of headphones )) Primary targets: - to find the best of the best - to find hidden synergy treasures for headphones traditionaly not reccomended for metal - to have fun in a process ) Marks in a table below were taken...

I have assembled a decent system and looking to make cable upgrades. Thanks Larry

First post....great forum. Looking for an Amp for my Q701's So far I have read that the Schiit Lyr is an excellent choice. What others would you recommend ? Liking the SPL auditor,Musical Fidelity M1HPAP, Burson Soloist and the Beyerdynamic A1 Thanks

I am looking for a DAC upgrade for my current setup.  My setup is as follows PC - ODAC - Burson Soloist - Beyer T1s.   I would really like a DAC that has optical inputs.  If I can get a DAC/AMP that performs as well as my current setup that would be even better.   My budget is around $500 so...

Hello, i'm new, sorry for my language.   I read lot of threads but i'm very very confused.   Schiit Lyr, Burson Audio, woo audio, rsa, Alo.... what's the best for them?   I like neutral sound without any coloration, transparency and soundstage, maybe a little warmth would not hurt... i...

I'm looking for a good quality (non Chinese made) amp for low impedance and efficient headphones specifically the Audio Technica W1000X. I'd want something neutral to warm since I can't stand bright. I've been looking at the WA6 and the Burson Soloist SL but I'd like other suggestions. Please...

Votes for Other Amps    - KSA5 clone: 1   -----------------------------   I thought it would be fun/informative to see which amps are the most loved among the Head Fi community for driving the Audeze LCD 2. The winning amp should sound great with the LCD 2 and also have a large following...

I have been fortunate to have had on home dem, the Burson Soloist and Fostex Th-900 headphones from Mark @: Item Audio for the last week. It has been quite a revelatory experience. Firstly, a massive thanks to Mark/Item. They don't know me from Adam, I have never bought anything form them...

Amps Comparison Burson Soloist 4W output Burson HA-160 0.25W output   as far as i know the highest impedance on a headphone is 600ohm   both the Burson amp could drive the 600ohm headphone perfectly loud, isnt the Burson Soloist (4W) bit of an overkill?   with another example...

i know they have huge differences in price, but should i invest money into Burson Amp?

Hello, I am not completely satisfied with my Violectric V200 and I am thinking to buy a new amp.   My current setup is: - Sony X707ES CD player - Violectric HPA V200 (hooked to the CD player with Monster Cable M550i balanced cables) - HiFiMAN HE-500 (with stock cable)   I think...

I'm looking for a headphone amp with enough juice to drive my brand new Senn HD800's. I've only ever used integrated's, but mine is on its last legs, so I think I want to go with a dedicated to replace it. For example, I was just looking at the Burston Soloist preamp/headphone amp. All it has is...

Please, could you recommendme a Headphone Amplifier for my Sennheiser HD700 ?? Budget is about 1000 USD   My Preamp is McIntosh C46 and my CD Player is Classé   Thanks a lot

Wondering what amps you would all suggest that would drive my DT990/600s to their full potential, that would also work with some hifiman or Audeze cans later down the road. If getting one with a built in DAC, or even a seperate external DAC would help over my TiHD, let me know. I'd probably...

I've been using my T1 together with my nuforce icon hdp for a while now, but I think its time for an update.   I've been thinking about purchasing the Musical Fidelity M1 HPA headphone amp which I've read does pretty well on its own included DAC and I might buy an external DAC for it later...

Hello, I gonna buy the beyerdynamic T1, but I don't realy know what headamp should i buy. My budget is something like 800 $ (500--600 euros).   I have now a CD player marantz which works very nice, and a stereo amplifier NAD.   I know nothing in headamps, that's why I request your...

Looking for a powerful amp on a budget for these things, and must be obtainable in the UK.   Currently using a Maverick D1, but the bass clips when i start EQ'ing it up a few notches.   I've seen the Hifiman HE adaptor that you can plug into a speaker amp, but wouldn't know where to...

What is the sonic impact of violating the 1/8th rule with matching headphone impedance to amplfier output impedance?  Does the bass get mushy?  Distortion?  Is it linear where the worse the ratio is the worse the sound?  I have an amp that has an output impedance of 10 ohms and headphones that...

I currently own a modded pair of Denon D5000, Audez'e LCD2 R2, and Grado SR325 (the gold one). I can't really seem to decide which to get, and I can only afford one of the two above options (although I am open to other set-ups, but my budget is about 2k). Can anyone help me decide which to get...

The headphones amp market has a lot of options today.  Is the now long in the tooth Beyer A1 still worth the high price tag?  I am seeking a neutral, dynamic sound for all types of cans.  I do own the T1 & HD800.  Your thoughts?  

I'm looking for a good amp for D7000...budget is below 1500$. Thanks for help!

I currently own the DA-160 and I hope to buy the matching HA-160 amp and a new set of cans shortly.  I'm curious to what people are using with their Burson.

As the thread title says - how are they different?   Cheers.

Hello all, First and foremost, if this is the wrong place to post this type of question, please move or delete as needed.   So, I just sold off my Manley Stingray and Merlin TSM speakers which I have used for the last few years.  I have a 20 month old at home and another on the way in 7...
