Either going to get the HD650 or a DT880/DT990.   Currently, I have an E7 which has been fine on my M50, but from what I understand - these upgraded headphones are going to require more. I'm mainly going to play off my computer.   I can get the E09K for $110 and plug my E7 into that.  ...

I've taken a look around all the old threads here asking kind of the same thing, but after reading them, am opening up my own thread anyways (because of price differences, new headphones released, etc.).   I'm looking for recommendations for non-leaking headphones for office use. We have an...

Hello,  im new here and was looking for last few days for product that can fullfill my needs. Today i'v just registered here to ask for advice about product(s) that can work out for me.    I have AKG k702 headphones. I was trying it (actually it was a friendly recommendation) at the shop...

Im not sure whether to get something like the Fiio e17 or maybe just get an amp only e11 or jds labs cmoy.   I know that the samsung galaxy s3 wolf chips aren't that bad and was wondering whether an amp+dac combo was really needed?   This is for portable only as ill probably be getting a...

I am debating with myself whether I need a new DAC, probably at a budget of approximately 200$. For now, I am using the DAC in my e17. Now I am wondering how good the DAC is, compared to other of the well known DAC's.   At the moment my main can is the HE-500, and my amp is the Musical...

I just got my career job and can finally get my feet wet with some real cans. I purchased the BeyerDynamic DT 990's 600OHM ( used this site to read and pick ones i wanted. You guys are awesome) and I am loving them. I paired them with a Asus xonar STX. Card became defective and they resent me my...

hi i got the odac build in o2.   used it with my laptop.   foobar>wasabi>usbhub>Odac(build in o2)>headphones   i got a problem, when i listening to music and i use my mouse (mouse>usbhub) when i move it sometimes the sound will get disruption, same if i touch the usb cable from...

Hi all,   Just joined this forum to ask this:)   I've just ordered Shure SRH-1840 and I want to do them justice by getting a descent headamp as well.   The first question probably should be, do you need to buy a dedicated headamp for these 65 Ohms headphones?   If the answer is...

Hi, I have a budget of $500, that can go up to $750 if necessary. I want a really good amp/dac combo for my HD 600s, seperate units or a single combined unit works. I am running off a windows desktop that has optical, headphone, and usb. Any reccomendations?

DAC+AMP combo is fine, stand alone units will also work. I would prefer the headphones to be open.   Please leave suggestions, thanks.

Long post Basically I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment I've got an Onkyo 605 but I'm not using it to it's full functionality, probably won't in the future and it's a bit of a pain to have around. I did have multiple speakers, a TV, PS3, 360, PC connected to it, but I've got rid of my PS3...

Forgive me if there is another thread on this, I searched long and hard but... yeah.   It may be a number of things, but I will just say that, I own the Fiio E17, an hp pavilion g6, and a pair of Denon d2000, and forreal I can't even tell a huge difference between using the Fiio E17, and...

 Audinst HUD-mx1, Total Bithead, HI-FI Man EF2A,or the Fiio e9 e07k combination. I'm leaning towards the e9 because I can use my ipod and computer but I don't know.By the way I'm planning on use a HE-400 An opinion would be helpful. oops four amps     

Instead of using eq settings from winamp, is there a program to have the eq setting all through out ?   I have odac/o2 combo, but there isn't any eq settings under device settings

He guys, I've been following around n looking for a good budget amp/dac combo. The Schiit MM stack seemed great for the money, but had a gain of 5x (phones are 106 and 108dB). Because of that, I've been searching for another alternative, and the objective combo seems to be it.   At the...

I've been looking for some time now to replace my soundcard which died months ago now.  I figured it was the perfect excuse for me to look into getting a dac/amp or combo of a dac and amp.  Currently I'm using the M50's and I know they don't need amping, but I'd like to get a better dac than...

There has recently been a huge increase in the amount of different DACs out there, so I wanted to see which ones are the most popular by a NEW poll.  Personally I have a Metrum Octave, but am looking to upgrade.    So, copy the most updated list, paste it in the reply box and add your cable...

I have recently bought Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium 600ohm to use for a wide range of things, from videogames to listen to IPod. I already had AKG Q701 and they are perfect except the volume matter, and the Beyers are even worse. I don't want to give some large bucks for the amp or a DAC device if...

A few weeks ago, I decided on purchasing an ODAC from JDS Labs.  I have been pleased with the objective nature of the sound.  I currently have it connected to my computer desktop speakers.  When I have my headphones connected to the speaker control pod there is a, nearly inaudible, background...

Hey guys. I currently have the O2 and want to get the ODAC. So, I have this rca cable:   http://www.jdslabs.com/item.php?fetchitem=47   And if I get the ODAC can I do this setup:   hd 650 -> o2 -> RCA cable via male 3.5mm plugged into o2 -> odac w/ rca (end of the rca cable plugged...

With a budget of up to 150€, I was thinking that instead of getting a good external amp/dac combo for that price, I might get one of the objective devices in combination with a cheaper but servicable companion for about the same price. What should I rather get, an O2 or ODAC, and can you think...

Hey there everyone. I recently got an O2 and love it. I really want to get a schiit modi to go along with it. I got these cables:   http://www.jdslabs.com/item.php?fetchitem=47   So I can plug the o2 into the modi, then the modi into my computer. Will this be a good solution? Also, will...

I'm currently using HD 555's and I just nabbed a pair of HD 650's last night on sale. So, I guess that means it's time to invest in an amp and some kind of dac-- or combo. These headphones are going to stay put, so portability is not necessary. Currently my 555's are just connected to my desktop...

Hello,   A friend will sell me soon his "new" BeyerDynamic DT880 600Ohm. Unlike him im not often at home for the moment so i need a portable amp. I know this headphone need some power to be driven properly and  I do not really know which one to take... Source : Mobile / Audio-Flac player/...

Hello,   I am looking into getting a Fiio E17 and just have a few simple questions. I'm a beginner when it comes down to this sort of stuff so excuse me if these are silly questions. Since the Fiio E17 is a USB (and headphone) DAC/AMP that means I can plug it into my computer USB jack and...
