^^ What's the link for the stax o2 pads?
Well, I know O2 pads are very comfy and well isolating, but that's not a guarantee they'll work best with the Mad Dogs. They were tuned for the O2 driver, not the Fostex driver and Mrspeakers mods.
Really anxious to hear some impressions on these pads when people get them. The bass is the only thing that's making me a bit hesitant on the Mad Dogs, a bit more oomph and they might be perfect. Unfortunately by the time the pads come out, I think my trial listening period will be over so I'll have to decide if they're keepers or not before then.
What would you all say the minimum DAC and amp requirement would be for the MDs? I'm not sure if I asked this already. Would a Xonar DG and FiiO E11 do?
I'm using them now with the iBasso PB2 and while it can drive them to good listening levels there's no overhead.
what I'm trying to say is it can't drive them properly in SE, I am looking into having a hardwire split done so I can use them in balanced mode for the "swing"
