I'll be using my Violectric V200 amp. I can't decide between these two DACs. One is "neutral", and one is "Musical". I'm not too concerned about the DAC having balanced outputs. Anyone have experience with Audio-gd DACs and the Violectric V200? Any other DAC recommendations would be...

Greetings from the cold... :)   Need a little bit of advice. I'm considering acquiring a dedicated amp for my HD800s. Right now, the headphone is connected to my computer using a SAA Endorphin cable & an Asus XONAR Essence STX audio card.   I thought, at first, to get a WooAudio but the...

Hi. I am in phase of research for my next system. The headphone will be Q701. But i am frustrated about powering section. I listen music %80 from my mobile phone and %20 from my computer. They are in different rooms. I listen while working on desk with mobile phone. So i couldn't decide to buy...

I own LCD-2 and Vio V200.   Would buying a Red Wine Audio Isabellina HPA be a significant upgrade?   Comments/thoughts?

Hello, I gonna buy the beyerdynamic T1, but I don't realy know what headamp should i buy. My budget is something like 800 $ (500--600 euros).   I have now a CD player marantz which works very nice, and a stereo amplifier NAD.   I know nothing in headamps, that's why I request your...

I am planning to pick up my BHA1 amp next week, but i am having some difficult to pick which one of my old amp to sell.   Can i get some advise on  which one to keep ?   currently have three headphones, T1 ,HD800 and PS-1000

I'm currently waiting for an Asgard amp to arrive for another pair of headphones, and I was wondering if it would be possible to run these off of it. I've heard you can damage headphones if you put too much power into them.   I know it's completely unnecessary, but I can't plug them into the...

I've heard some interesting things about the AD2000. People say that they are one of the best heasphones in the world when matced with the right amp and DAC. It is also said to have one of the best mid presentations out there, and Im looking for a headphone with really good mids. What amp and...

hi friend,i'm italian excuse me for my english i need amp for my denon ah-d2000 budget max 1000€   i returned Burson ha160D for noise problem(but sound is incredible)   PLEASE friend,help me Thanks.   Carmine.

I have literally been listening for about five minutes to the T1, so it isn't burned-in yet, but I think this headphone is The One. I've been looking for something in the league of the Senn HD800, AKG K1000, or even the K701 is remarkable and worth considering.

So, I currently have the DT990 600 Ohm and the Denon D7000.  I'm running them through a Titanium HD to a JDS Labs O2 amp.  I also plan on getting the HD650's if I can get lucky on a good price.   Do you think the above sound card and amp are good enough for now, or would you recommend...

I currently have a musical fidelity M1 HPA driving a pair of Denon AH-D7000s.  After reading all the buzz I'm thinking of getting a pair of LCD2s and trying them out.  Will this amp adequately drive the LCD2s?  MF claims it can drive headphones of any impedance "The HPA enjoys the lowest 1ohm...

Hey there.   Here comes my current setup: Mac -> Audinst HUD-MX1 (DAC + AMP) -> Audeze LCD-2r2   Now I bought an Violectric V200 so the new setup looks like the following: Mac -> Audinst HUD-MX1 (DAC) -> V200 (AMP) -> Audeze LCD-2r2   But: I can't notice ANY difference between...

As I live in Germany the Woo Audio WA2 (which I really would like to buy) will cost me around $1454 instead of $1090 because of taxtes, etc.   Now I need an amp alternative for them which do not require shipping from outside EU.   I would like to pair them with a Beyer T1. (the only...

Hello I need some help on building my setup Currently I have two amps V200 and auditor. I like them both and use them with my ref5 dac from audio gd Headphones are, T1,hd800,hd700,ps1000 Everything works nicely, until I read some review of the Bryston bha1 amp Which make me thinking, I am...

I have a pair of Heir Audio 4.A's currently running out of my Leckerton UHA-6SII (which I love) but I want to be able to leave that at the office rather than shifting it back and forth every day.   I like the neutral sound and would like something that kept that relatively similar. However...

I'm not well clued with electronic circuit theory.   With amps that have outputs for more than one headphone, if you drive more than one difficult-to-drive headphone simultaneously - does that weaken the amp's power into both loads?   Or is it like connecting things in series vs parallel...

As the thread title says - how are they different?   Cheers.

Hey guys!   I just bought my new Beyerdynamic T1 headphones. They are simply amazing.   Now I need a very good new amplifier for them, currently I'm using the Audinst HUD-MX1 but I think they tend to highlight treble, which they do too much.   This is my setup:   Beyerdynamic T1...

I'm looking to add another open headphone to my collection.  I like my DT660 (32 ohm) very much and bought it because it was closed.  I am surprised by how much sub-bass it has.  I likee.  I'd like to find an open can with that kind of sub-bass on a $500 budget limit.  I thought maybe an open...

Hello, I have a problem. My system is not working on the left side. There is only a faint sound of music coming out of it. First off, it's not the LCD-2; That is working fine. I put it in my soundcard and they're both working great.    I put all the default cables and cords back in to see if...

This is gonna be  bit of a rant here but I feel it needs to be done. If your easily offended leave now or just skip the rant section.   NB Trying for yourself is not always possible, although its the most desirable situation. This is aimed to guide people along what lines they must think...

Ladies and gentlemen!   What amps would you like to see on your desk? I'm especially interested in entry to mid level but I'd love to hear about anything exciting on the high end as well.    Eyecandy is great so post pics if you've got them : )

I've been getting some help in the official HE-400 thread, but more opinions are always good.  I have a new pair of HE-400s that I'm using with my LD MK1+ and HM-601 right now, but I and willing to spend $400 total on both an amp and DAC.  So far I've been recommended the LD 1+ as an amp but...

Hello, I'm using headphone out from AudioLab M-DAC. Will I hear improvement, when I upgrade to one from these AMPs(compare to M-DAC )? Lehmann Audio Black Cube Linear LEHMANN AUDIO - LINEAR PRO SI V200 Woo Audio 2   If so, which from these AMPs is better for HD 800 cans?
