500+ Head-Fier
I just bought a pair of HD525's from an audiophile friend of mine, plus I just bought a pair of HD580's and HD600's online. The 580's I found on AudioGon a couple nights ago, the 600's right here on Head-Fi tonight.
Right now, I'm using the Sennheiser DSP 360 headphone amp in bypass mode. (I'm not one for all the DSP garb). It sounds pretty decent except that it lacks bass and the top end is a little rolled off. The freq resp is only 40Hz - 18kHz. Like I said, it doesn't sound that bad, but with the 580's and 600's on the way, I want and need something better to power them.
My friend has a HeadRoom Total AirHead that he will let me have for cheap. If so, will it provide the full spectrum of sound that I want and need, plus the power the Senns need to perform their best? Or is the Corda a better match to these cans?
Either way, I want an amp with the crossfeed feature. The only ones I know of are the HeadRoom and Corda amps, and some of these home-grown Meta42 amps floating around here.
I know it's not a Cosmic or Max, but it has to be better than my DSP 360.
