so, quite happy with my purchase, I've had them for 2 months now and for the most part rediscovered my music and gained new appreciation for it
I've been reading Head-fi for longer than that, maybe 5 months, lead me to purchase the AD-700 over the HD555 (seems to be a common match up). My setup is simple,
Foobar creative ASIO, bit-matched playback, MP3s and Flac -> Creative Xfi-xtreme gamer -> AD-700
I've read that I can't mod my Xfi, kind of a bummer after reading an exciting thread on this forum about doing so, I didn't know any better when I bought the card
I'm definitely on a budget but I figure I owe it to myself considering the time I spend reading about audio/headphones to go a little further...hopefully in the least expensive way possible.
So, if you were me, where would you invest your attention? I assume I'm in good shape with the set of phones I have atm but I'm open to opinions there too.
