That dragonfly DAC/amp is a great solution for laptops. It doesn't process headphone surround, but it sounds better than a Mixamp and they lowered prices.


Grumpy,
I'll try that, but my DAC is a normal DAC... It can't process DDL. It is possible that the Omni will process SBX and output stereo LPCM or PCM, but I doubt it because you are supposed to enable that encoding so that an AV receiver can feed 5 or 7 discrete speakers. Maybe something in the middle will work... Windows set for DDL, the Omni control panel set to no encoding to force it to use SBX to process it?

Those earcups seem to have more than a passing resemblance to AKGs...

I didn't realize the HP200 came with non-pleather pads from the images I saw online. Now I'm actually slightly interested in this headphone.

It does come with pleathers, actually. I just replaced them with my 1540 alcantara pads

Ooooooh, that makes sense. Wonder how it changes the sound vs stock, and I'm curious if Beyer pads would fit it.

I didn't notice much of a difference when switching back n forth, except a bit of refinement coming from the alcantaras. Haven't had much time to be completely sure, though.

The alcantaras are unique softs pads, as they give a similar sound effect to pleathers... but with more air to breathe.

Quick impression of the HP200 is that it reminds me A LOT of the 1840, without the bass distortion. I've read that these sound very similar to the HD600s, and it makes sense as I've read those are similar to the 1840.

Clearly a winner, in my book, but I wouldn't recommend regular velours on em. These are already slightly bright, so regular velours might make them fatiguing.

Those 1540 Alcantaras are my fave pads of any headphone ever.

I really need to wait until I get my K612 back to really give some good impressions on these.
 
So far, I'm sticking with my initial post about these sounding very similar to the SRH1840. The detail and imaging I'm getting with these is AMAZING. It's similarly bass light like the SRH1840, but better textured and there is absoulutely no low frequency distortion (like the SRH1840 is known for).
 
I think we have a new sound whoring go-to headphone in the $200 range. Still not absolutely positive a BoomPro will fit, however...
 

 
 
 
Just amazing to look at, too!

Dragonflys garbage mate, If you are going to get one get the hrt microstreamer!

"Garbage"?  There are a lot of reviews on head-fi that say otherwise.  People were raving about it when it was $250.  Now it's $99 for the same unit or $150 for an even better version.  The Microstreamer is $200, and I'm sure it's decent... but I can't imagine it's so good that it makes the AQDF look like garbage.  Especially at twice the price.

If you can afford it, the Sennheiser PC360 is probably the best one on that list.

I have to disagree with this. I currently have the Dragonfly V1 and it's an enjoyable little piece of kit. Not blow me away nice, but it's better than onboard sound out of many computers.

I have had one mate sorry but they are not worth keeping..if you want a cheaper one get the dacmagic xs!
