Hi,   I'm trying to see if anyone can post their opinion on the compatibility of either headphone w/ the Headroom Desktop+ series of amplifiers. There seems to not be too many people using them.... if you have heard this combo, please post a quick impression line or two!   Much...

To all who have purchased the Little Dot MK IV SE into the USA, how much was the Import Duty?  How does the process work?  Is it held in customs for a long time or is a quick process?   Thanks.

Has anyone heard this;   http://www.njc-audio.co.uk/html/monitor_ii.html   It looks a great product and probably deserves more exposure than it's gotten so far.   Look at the specs, 2.2W per channel into 50ohm!!   Not bad for a mid-priced solid state model, I wonder if this is a...

Hello all ! I just ordered a Hifiman EF2A amp for use with my macbookpro and my 1964 quads, can I also use them with my Harman Kardon 2.1 soundsticks 2 to improve them or the amp isn't enough powerful ? Thx !

Whitch amp is better for Q701?? Has anyone compared them?   I would like a neutral response, Prat sound with good dynamic for MIXING electronic music.   Thanks a lot

Hi Everyone,   I plan on purchasing the HD600 soon but have been a little stuck trying to figure out which amp to pair them with. I will be using my ipod with LOD/laptop and apple lossless tracks. I mainly listen to acoustic/rock music and would like the amp to give full sound,good clarity...

I need a desktop amp for my AKG K702, for (prefferebly) under 200$. I am looking at the FiiO E11, the Hi-Fi Man EF2A. Any reccomendations for a good amp that is small in size and big in quiality? It is gonna be pluged in with a 3.5MM cable directly from my computer output to the Amp, then...

Hey all. Im lookin for a fairly portable edit:desktop amp under $140. I have the hd 558, and when i plug it into a stereo reciever it sounds so much better than out of my sansa fuze. Btw i have all flac files. So, any reccomendations are welcome. Thanks so much for the time you take to help me...

Hello and thanks in advance for any replies... its all about harsh sounds...   I bought a Little Dot and so far have 16hours on it. I am listening through the following kit.   MackBookPro > Echo Audiofire2 24/96 using Audirvana > Mackie Big Nob > Little Dot 1+> Grado 325is (all 320kb...

Hi, I've just recently brought a set of Sennheiser HD598 headphones and I've been reading that you generally need to get an amp to fully take advantage of the headphones.      I'm a audio noob so just bear with me for a minute. I plan on using the headphones on my desktop computer and...

Hey Head-Fi'ers,   There is a strong appreciation of Woo Audio equipment, but I thought it was a little hard to filter out information specific for the WA6/SE so this thread is just for those amps. Post pics of your WA6 and or WA6SE, tubes your rolling, headphones your using and comments on...

I'm looking for a desktop amp to power my new DT990s (250ohm) with a budget of $100.    The obvious recommendation seems to be the E9, are there alternatives I should check into? Or is the E9 the hands down winner in this category?    The only two other options with positive feedback...

Alright, before I ruffle any Lisa III owners feathers, I would just like to say I own a LISA III XP W/ LLP I bought it new and I paid full pop ($1,000) AND I have preordered the L3 for $$$ So I'm feeling it too. It has been what, 3, 4 years? The Lisa III was king for a while, but there are new...

Does such thing exist?. I mean, I know people often talk about having tube outputs for their headphones so I was curious if anyone ever created a portable tube one.   Although I can see what kind of concerns would arise. Size, power consupmtion, tube might shatter from impact / dropping...

This will only take a sec!   I'm looking into headphone amps, but don't know whether I need a desktop amp or a portable. I guess what I'm asking is: are all portable amps battery-driven, and wouldn't that be a pain recharging them all the time? As a video editor who also does a fair amount...

I have a setup were I store all my music as FLAC on a Mac. For that I currently use a big traditionally stereo system as DAC/headamp but want to make it simpler.   I have a wired Apple keyboard with USB 2.0 out and was thinking of getting a good quality USB simple USB amp, without paying...

Hello.. Well, i recently just got the HD650, and currently am driving them with my udac-2. I know they need more power and was wondering what would be better with the HD650: to get the e7/e9 combo or to get the Schiit asgard and use it with my udac-2

3ch board dact attenuator   or should I have to change the gain to 8 like everyone else does, my LCD-2s are quite enjoyable @ 10-12 o clock, haven't tried with an HE-6 yet

OK... ... I've been thinking of trying a Millett Hybrid MiniMax to see how it compares to my other amps - sort of "on the rebound" from the Caliente, which is not available. I've had some conversations with SACD Lover who really likes them - he's got "dozens" of them. But... how do...

I'm currently driving my Ultrasone Pro 900 directly from my Yulong D100. It's an awesome DAC with a totally decent built-in headamp, but it's VERY transparent, bordering on cold. I like my DAC as transparent as possible, but for the Pro 900's I'd love a slightly warmer presentation. I'm not...

  I just purchased some Beyer DT-990 600Ohm headphones and had intended to use them with my AV receiver.  I wasn't satisfied with the sound from the headphone jack of the receiver.  Something is causing it to emit a hiss and I found the sound quality was better out of my USB sound card at my...

Hi everyone,   I'm gonna buy my first amp, but my question is: do I really need an ipod to take total benefit of the amp's sound, or will it work just fine with the Clip+ headphone input? Anybody here using the Clip + amp? Any improvements noticed?   Thanks in advance.

Back on 08-25-06 Superpredator started a thread on tube rolling with the Darkvoice 336 & 336i. It was that thread that really caught my interest in the DV. Before I went ahead and bought it, I wanted to know the certain tubes it used and the different combinations it was capable of, as well as...
