    Hifiman HE-400i and HE-560 V2 Headband Assembly Compatiblity

    Hey everyone, I tried to replace just the bit of padding that goes over your head on my HE-400i, but was quickly greeted with the horrific design of the headband assembly as a whole, and can now consider my entire assembly to be toast. I'm curious to know if the HE-560 V2 headband assembly...

    New headphones or AMP/DAC upgrade

    Hi everyone. I have a Hifiman HE-400i and the combo FiiO E17K as a DAC and a FiiO K5 as an amp. IMHO sound is very good and very transparent. I want to give it a try a new Grados Sr325e for around $295 and pair it whit the FiiO combo I just mention. Or it will be better to invest that budget in...

    How Do Balanced DACs work.

    I see a Schiit Jotunheim with a balanced DAC module, but I don't know how the module works. Does it work for the normal headphone jack. I.E Would it affect the sound going into my Hifiman HE-400i's? Should I pick the Jotunheim with the DAC module for $400 over a Topping D30 and A30 for $190?

    Recommended Headphone pairings with Magna 3/Modi 2

    Knowledgeable Schitt Magna3 owners: what in the reasonably priced ($400 or so) full sized cans category really plays nice with a Modi 2 / Magna 3 stack?

    Schiit Stack vs Sennheiser GSX 1000

    I have a Hifiman HE-400i and want to get some better music out of it. I am currently using an Asus Xonar DGX(30$) and want a better dac/amp. The Schiit Stack will almost certainly have better sound quality, but the GSX has nice features and especially the 7.1 surround, which I hear is amazing...

    Hifiman HE-400i Dac/Amp

    I want a dac/amp that would best suit the Hifiman HE-400i. I'm debating if the Focusrite Solo has a dac that can compete with the Schiit Fulla 2's. Which one should I pick. The solo I can get used for 65. The Schiit would be msrp. Would the 2i2 be better than both?

    Hifiman HE-400i vs HD 6XX

    I got around 200$ to spend and plan on upgrading my old G4ME Zero's. I know that the 6xx will work on my audio card (Xonar DGX), but bass will be a bit thin. I would like to know what would be better for gaming and casual listening. Games would be CSGO, R6S, and Pubg.

    DAC make a difference?

    Ok so I’ve been into audiophiling for a little over a year now. I started out with a FiiO X3 ii, a Schiit Vali 2 and a pair of HIFIMAN HE-400i’s.
