Hi guys just wanted to a quick review of the Ibasso D10 , bought it used a few days ago. This is not a full review just my impressions :)      I've tried listening to songs on it via its headphone amp with XB700s, as well as using it as a DAC connected to my Darkvoice amp and to a pair of...

I am thinking about getting a Denon ah d5000 with a portable amp, like an emmeline hornet or a headroom micro amp, this is a starting point for me, I was also considering the akg k701s but I keep reading they are bass light. Unfortunately there are no places in Maine to really listen to high end...

I need something that can accept the digital optic audio signal from ps3 and output to my M50 headphone.or Accept the RED and WHITE audio signal and output to M50. SO I thought I need something like DAC for that. Recommend me some cheap DAC and Amp. is Fiio E5 or E7 good candidiates ? Because my...

Hi everybody, i'm in search of a new pair of IEMs. I'm plugging it into my ipod touch/ ibasso D10, and maybe my computer. I listen to mainstream music, pop, electronic, etc. Are there any iems similar to the Ultrasone Hfi 580 ? The HFI 580 has very forward mids, but still retains a nice bass. My...

I want to use it with DT150 and GMP 8.35D My budget is around $325 and i was looking at the D10 Cobra, NuForce Icon. Is there anything better available ? I listen to Club,Rock,Hip-Hop and Trance Thanks

Hello,   I'm in the market for a new pair of IEMs for use while I travel. My work requires that I do a lot of flying, so I am looking for something with solid audio performance, comfortable for use a few hours at a time, and - most importantly - with a high degree of isolation. I am aware...

Got my RS180's from Amazon today (markings on them say HDR 180). Great packaging, plenty of power adapters for those who travel internationally. Good fit to the headphones, clamping force is somewhere between HD 600 and HD 650, closer to HD 600 (yes I've owned both 600 and 650). Headband...

Hello, I'm just an entry-level audiophile that prefers good-quality music. Currently I own a Sennheiser HD555, and I would want to invest in an entry-level rig.   After extensive research that also fit a student's budget I have come up with 4 feasible options: 1) Purchase an Audinst...

Hey guys, I'm wondering what the best will be?  I'm not sure I really need portability, so that's not a big issue.  It seems the difference between the two that is the biggest is USB/Aux/Line-out vs. Optical/Coaxial/Line-Out.  I recently got a Creative X-Fi Titanium HD and I love it.  It...

My old custom made tube amp is being repaired and I need a portable amp anyways. I'm not a huge fan of the tube sound, I much prefer technical accuracy(reason for the HD800's) as I use my cans to keep my ears trained. A friend loaned me his Ibasso D10. I have not played with the opamps yet but I...

Hey guys,   So, seems like I'll be getting some money from an undergrad fellowship. It's not much, but still am really excited about it cause it's basically like a scholarship and my professors are starting to take notice of me.   Anyway, I have the Envy 17 laptop. The on-board sound is...

Hi,   Though I have benefitted from the conversations I have come across on Head-Fi forums a number of times (a very valuable resource), this is the first time I have started a thread.   My situation is that I am looking for a great music listening setup for on the go, with lossless...

  I'm currently using an Asus Xonar Essence ST with my Sennheiser HD 595s but I feel like moving up to something a little more high end. Over the next 18 months or so I intend to swap out both, but for what I'm not sure. As far as headphones go, the AKG K702s, Sennheiser HD 650s and Denon...

I spend almost everyday at the library.     Currently I am use my Macbook Pro, Pandora, Nuforce uDAC2 and MEElectronics M6, I want a more spacious sound stage.     Looking at purchasing either Sennheiser HD 595 ($115) or AKG  K240STU ($99) headphones (ya I know I will look geeky!).  Then...

Good evening I'd like to know which good portable DAC can i associate a RSA Protector for use with a PC with the following characteristics of listening : 24/96 sources coaxial/optical inputs. Thanks.

Hey all  I have the AKG K240 MKII and Im looking for an amp, was looking at the iBasso D2+BOA: http://www.ibasso.com/en/products/show.asp?ID=42 OR iBasso D10 Cobra: http://www.ibasso.com/en/products/show.asp?ID=39   so my question/s is/are: Would the D2 be good enough? Would there...

Which do you think is better and please explain.

Can you guys suggest a good amp/dac with a toslink input?  Portable would be great but not a requirement although I would like to have a fairly small form factor if it's a desktop dac/amp. Budget is around $250.   Looking around some popular ones with toslink in are the iBasso D10, nuforce...

Okay, so I went and got the Sennheiser HD 595 headphones. I plan on using them with my laptop and I'm at least going to try them with my iPod to see what happens.   Ideally, I would want to listen to them powered correctly, and I really don't know much about headphone amplification.   I...

  This thread's goal is to provide up-to-date information on amps that best suit varied listener demands within distinct price ranges. I will update and organize the OP with all newly compiled information in a way that will hopefully serve as an authoritative headamp buying guide for the Denon...

Hi all, I have recently completed the mark L mod complete with D7000 wood cups on my D2000 headphones. Currently I have them powered with the Ibasso D10. It sounds awesome, and is quite a step up from my M50's. However I cant help but wonder if i am getting the most of these headphones with this...

Hi   So before I send this little guy back for repairs, I'd like to see if anyone can help me for free here.   THE PROBLEM:   Upon slight movement, the USB connection cuts out entirely - power and audio. The blue light goes out. If switch is set to "Battery", the device stays on, but...
