Headphoneus Supremus
I just returned the Dunu Dn2000 IEMs yesterday after being hugely unimpressed. £210 for me is a lot of dosh... I think my expectations where far too high and I ended up bitterly disappointed. So with the money saved I then decided to finally pull the trigger on the fabled HD650s... after much much debating.
I returned the AKG K550s after the hype on head fi made me think they'd be my end game over ear. I've also been let down by Grado sr80s, Soundmagic HP150s also. None of them did anything special for me. I hated the Grado sound especially.
I bought the HD650s last night with express delivery for tonight thru Amazon. I was up against the clock for overnight delivery... i made it by ONE MINUTE, I'm not the patient type. I was a bit apprehensive after I pressed the purchase button as moments later in another thread someone said they were just like UE 6000s, which i also have and think are a decent over ear but not at the level I'd expect these to be. The guy was talking out his ass if he thinks these are similar lol....
I've only been listening for an hour, The Best Of Bond Soundtracks. WOW WOW WOW. these are exceptional, and from what I've read only get better after burn in I can see why they are sitting at number one on head fi. They just tick every box. Beautiful sounding. Detailed like I've never heard before... not the analytical type either. They are hugely musical and open sounding. MIDS are to die for.
Sooo my question is lol... I'm using my Fiio e10k and it is at full volume and I'm getting a great sound. I've been looking at replacing it recently though for something better. I'm caught between Audioquest Dragonfly v1.2, Cayin Stark c5 and Meridian Explorer. Does anyone have one of these paired with their 650s and can recommend them. i like listening at quite a high volume on my laptop. It would also power my MEE Pinnacle 1s IEM and Senn HD25iis.
Any help much appreciated.
