I own a 3.5mm-6.3(?)mm adapter that I'm sure almost everyone else owns as well. Can I use that with the Schiit Magni? From the looks of it, I don't think I can. If that is the case, what cable/adapter do I need? I know it's a newbie question but any help would.. help. Thanks.

I just got the Schiit combo and am looking to get a pair of Beyerdynaimc dt 770 pro's but have no clue which version I should get. I listen to a lot of Tool and Queens of the stone age type rock music. If anyone could point me into the right direction that would be great   thnx

I just sold my wii and got enough money to buy a amp for my pro 700 mk2 my friend sent me to this website for this amp. This will be my first amp for these headphones i just wanted to know if i am getting something good or should i even bother with this amp and just get a fiio amp ?  ...

Just bought a pair of Senn HD598's...but I am also aware that their bass is pretty light. I have been looking into getting a better setup for when I am home, so portability isn't a factor.    I need some help/clarification due to some mixed reviews on here that kind of confused me...

After reading this review, I was very interested in these headphones.  They sounded perfect!  Or as close as I could get to my wants and needs.  The only problem is that they seemed to be impossible to find.  I looked everywhere and could'nt find these things.  But then I stumbled apon a thread...

Hello All,   I just received my Beyerdynamic DT990/600 Ohm headphones and have it paired with the Fiio E17.  It sounds really good but I was wondering if it was worth the upgrade to a tube amp <$200.  My budget is really tight at the moment.  I would like a WA3 or MKIV but not happening at...

Hey all,   This isn't scientific in any way, but I wanted to get down some of my impressions of my new Schiit Magni after a day of listening.  Most of what I'll be talking about is how the Magni works with my MSii+ and HE-500.  My other gear consists of an HD650, the FiiO E9, and the JDS O2...

Hi,   I've been reading and reading and reading as much as I can to figure out a proper setup for the Q701s, so I thought I'd finally ask people who know.   Background: I work in the film/video game music industry (so mostly orchestral music) and I needed to get a pair of headphones to...

Hi. I was browsing the web for some information on the hifiman he-400s I ordered when I came across this website. These are my first pair of high end headphones I have ever used. I upgraded from my Logitech G35 gaming headsets, which were my be-all kind of purposeful headsets. I have my he-400s...

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...

Hey  So I was planning to get the the Beyer DT 880 600 ohms headphones for listening to classical music. So I was wondering what amp/dac combination to get for the Beyer DT 880 600 headphones. I heard that they need a particular type. So the two that I thought was around my budget was the NFB...

Just received my HD650's, and i'm enjoying the sound alot; however, i'd like to buy an amp to go with it as to improve the sound quality - My budget is around $250, although this can be changed if needed. All my music is FLAC/320kB mp3 and it's currently plugged into my (extremely terrible) laptop. 

Hey! I'm looking at getting a dedicated desk headphone amplifier. I currently use the Philips Cityscape Uptown and a Fiio E6 for my on the go use, but looking to get a set of open back headphones(AKG Q701 or Sennheiser HD 598, haven't decided yet, but keep those two in mind). I was wondering...

I currently have a fiio e10 and I'm looking for an amp/dac upgrade in the $100-$200.  The e10 has a noisy volume knob in which the sounds cuts in and out when adjusting the volume which is pretty annoying.  This will solely be used at my PC.  Something with a bass boost will be nice but not...

I got new headphones this week and a Schiit Magni. I'm going to hook it up to my X-Fi Titanium HD via its RCA line out. The amp arrived in the mail today but I read a while ago that there's a right order and a wrong order to power these things on? I don't want to do it wrong, so, how am I...

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...

I'm looking for a small-footprint "transportable" Amp/usb-DAC unit that will pair will with HD800s. Budget can extend, but I would love to keep it under the $1000 mark. Currently I am looking at: Woo WA7: Tube amp, very beautiful with a 32/192 - $900 (a little on the pricey side) ALO Pan Am...

I just received my new Sennheiser HD650's and i'm enjoying the sound alot; however, was wondering if buying an amp would be worth it, as i'm not sure how much the SQ will improve. 

Hello All,   I'm planning on picking up an LCD-2 soon but was wondering what would a good AMP/DAC Combo be for it <$1000.  I currently have the Schiit Magni/Modi but heard that may not be enough to power it. Would Bifrost/Asgard, Valhalla or Lyr be a good match? Or would you reccommend...

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?

As the title says, my friend is looking for a decent low cost amp/dac combo of some sort to pair with his hd650s. He's currently using my old Audio-GD Fun version B. What kind of system could he expect to upgrade to that would pair well with the 650s?

I am relatively new to the hi-fi headphone population, but I do have some experience in home theater audio so I'm not a total n00b. However, I am at a bit of a quandary when it comes to Amps and DACs. I just got some Sennheiser 598's not too long ago; I am happy with the performance, but I know...
