All :veryevil:


Haha I wish I could afford them all.

He-400 with 3rd party balanced hp cable


Thanks for that.....I must say I'm thinking more towards the HE-500 out of the HiFiMan range.....I believe the M8 should be able to drive sufficiently.


I can attest to the HD650 having great synergy with the HiFi-M8.  If I was going to get a HiFiMan, I'd hold out for the newer models, simply because they are supposed to be easier to drive...

Also, since you have an iPod Touch that can run IOS7, you should get a CCK and an adapter to USB B, so you can start messing around with hi res audio...


Thanks ButtUgly.....I've owned the HD650 in the past and really liked them with the Toxic Viper cable.....would be good to try the Silver or Black Widow with XLR termination.

The Touch is full of standard ALAC and is used to stream Spotify......my iPhone 5 and iPad 4 has FLAC player loaded for my 24/96 FLAC files connected via the Lightning to USB and Standard USB-A to USB-B cable. Not really had a chance for a critical listening session yet unfortunately.
