Just noticed that the all new solid state LD MKV amp is available from David on ebay!!! I can't wait to hear opinions/ feedback on this amp. Any comments or info out there??? Roger

Hi head-fi people!   First of all, I love this board and I've been learning a lot.   I own HD650s with a Xonar Essence STX soundcard (pretty common I guess) so they sound closed.   I'm planning on buying a good Amp this month to find back the wider soundstage/unveiled/non...

What I have now.   Xonar Essence STX Sennheiser HD650 Sennheiser E935 M-Audio Bx5a Deluxe M-Audio SBX10     I'm looking to solve 3 problems. I outlined them in the picture. I would like to have a physical knob to adjust the volume on my headphones and speakers. Separate...

Hi guys, wasn't sure quite where to post this one as it includes a bit of everything......   Basically over the next few months i'm going to be upgrading my system to a Schiit Bifrost, Lyr & Audeze LCD-2 (I'm currently running Ultrasone Pro 900 / HD600, LD MK V & Saffire 6).  ...

I've had a pair of HD600s running through a LD MKV for about a year now and I've loved them since I first opened the box. However..... I've recently purchased a pair of Pro900s (which are nowhere near finished burning in yet) and they completely blow the HD600s out of the water in every aspect...

The headphone jack in my MKV is loose and causing intermittent static , I'm considering replacing it. Has anyone done this? Is there a better part to use than whatever came stock? Thanks for any suggestions.

I currently have a Fubar II with OPA627s in place of the stock op-amps that I'm using with a Little Dot Mk V amp and DT 990s. I love the setup, but I have a feeling that I could be getting more out of it. I definitely want to stick with the Little Dot, but I'd like to know what else is out there...

Hi guys, i'm thinking of buying a set of Ultrasone Pro 900s for listening to EDM at home. The only amp i currently own is a Little Dot MK V and i'm unsure how the two will pair up? Can anybody who may have tried the combination let me know their thoughts in terms of the overall sound quality? ...

I finally received my dt990/600 and they sound awsome :D i went from 10$ walmarts---->dt990. They have good volume with just my asus xonar dx powering them. I was wondering if I should get an amp. Would it be a big difference? worth it?

Hi there,   I recently purchased a Littledot MK V. Only has about 20 hours burn-in with my DT-880's but I'm absolutely loving it!   Chain is;   PC USB--->X-Fi Surround (Optical/SPDIF out)--->HR Ultra Micro DAC--->LittleDotMKV--->DT880's (250ohm)     Now the problem is when I...

Ordered through Headroom and will be shipping Monday.  Did a lot of research and finally, setting on HD650. This is my first "head-fi" purchase and looking forward to hearing what's all the fuss.  Been listen to 2 channels. My question is this, what amp is a good match for the HD650.  My...

I know these kinds of threads must be tiresome, but here it goes…   I'm looking for an amp based on the following criteria:   (1) Solid State   (2) Under $300   (3) Can be used with the udac-2   (4) Can satisfactorily drive the following: (i) HD 600, (ii) BT 880 (600) and...

Hi there. I might find myself buying a solid state headphone amp one of these days. I've currently narrowed it down to two candidates. The pure class A Matrix M-stage and the dual-mono-design Little Dot MK V. They are both in the same price class (roughly) and both have recieved favorable...

Hi all, I've recently purchased some Sennheiser HD650 headphones and am currently looking for a DAC and Amp. I'm on a bit of a small budget after buying the HD650's, not really looking to spend more than £150 for both. I've been looking at the E7/E9 combo and it seems like a very good choice and...

Hi all, I have just recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD650's and am currently looking for an amp to power it. I have no experience, I am new to the full-size scene, have always had IEM's. My budget doesn't allow much but I've looked around and I've managed to find the 3 mention amps for a...

So it seems I am in the market for a dedicated head-amp for my DT-880pro(250). While the headphoneout from my receiver is fast, accurate and crytsal clear, the 880s simply don't develop pressure the way I heard them at the demo, which was with a pro-studio chain. Not betting on it being my...

Hi. I know there's many threads about amps for HD650 but I have a Musical Fidelity V-Can with my HD650 and SR125i and I'm thinking about buying a better desktop amp but how many do I need to spend to hear a noticeable improvement ? Are the Creek OBH21SE (400€) or the Musical Fidelity X-Can V8p...

Hey everyone,   I recently bought the AKG K701 headphones, and so far I am loving them.  I recognize the need for an amp with these headphones, and I have narrowed it down to these two.  While I have heard great things about both of them, I have yet to come across a thread where they are...

I currently use a normal RCA cable to connect Dac (Pico) to amplifier (Little dot MK5). Will the SQ of the rig be improved if I use 2 RCA male to male connectors to connect the Dac with amplifier for elimination of the cable part? I searched online, there were connectors from 0.5$ to 8$. Will...

Which one is better for Sennheiser HD 650?

Does anyone else here NOT like their HD650's with the Little Dot MKV?? I have had mine (both items) for almost a year now, and found I listened to the combination less and less. I just found I stopped enjoying them as much as time went by. I then had occasion to listen to the HD650's through the...

Hi! I just bought my first serious headphones and need som help. Im looking for a headphone amp for hd-650, used at most $200. Since i like an analytic sound id like an amp with lots of details and a no color. Im afraid that if a pair the hd-650 with a tube amp it will be too dark for...

I am on the market for a solid state amp (not portable). My cans are Grado SR225i, Beyer DT770/32, Sennheiser HD650 and possibly a Grado RS1i and a Beyer DT990/660 ohm in the near future! As for the amp,  I'd like to stick to maximum $300-$350.    I am torn between Schiit Asgard, Little Dot...
