Hey guys, I'm new here on Head-Fi and I've been really impressed on the quality and amount of information available on your forums.
I use headphones for games, music and the odd time movies.
Music is 192k,256k,320k, and about 1/8 is FLAC.
I'm going to be getting as much FLAC as possible though, and possible buying audio DVDs.
Movies are all AC3 Dolby audio.
Games, I'm not so sure, but I play TF2, CSS, UT3, crysis, Company of heroes (yay), and similar games.
I've thoroughly listened to my Px100's/Cowon, HD 555, and my Logitech-Z5300E/Audigy4.
I'm considering buying some headphones with a new soundcard and possible a headphone amp if necessary.
My budget is around 250-350$.
First off, I live in Canada, and all things you direct to must be available or affordably avaible in Canada(or to Canada). Thanks for your undertsanding on that.
Sennheiser is affordable in Canada, generally:
HD 555 for $120CAD
HD 595 for $250CAD
I am interested in:
hd 555/595
Beyerdynamic DT 770/880
Audiotechnica A700/A800
Sound cards i've been looking at are xonar dx and x-fi's
I've heard about having spdif out to an external decoder/amp, though i dont really know anything about it.
I just need some description of the headphones, pros/cons and some justifications for whichever purchase.
Thanks guys, I'll enjoy my stay I'm sure!
