I recall reading impressions from Canjam where one said that the C5 was really close to the HA2 at nearly half the cost!
so the cayin is cheaper than HA-2 oh, but well deliveries to mexico seem to be only HA-2's... so started saving for it Wooohooo
The oppo is a dac/amp and c5 is only amp which can help explain the difference in price. @gerelmx1986 you won't be disappointed in the ha-2, it is fantastic. And the leather wrap is sweet don't let the haters fool you!
Fwiw I plan on my set up being MacBook Pro > ha-2 > c5 for desktop and then just ha-2 (or no amp) on the go with iPhone 6.
I just want to add that even after properly auditioning the IE800 and SE846, I still find the Z5 to be biggest sounding headphone. I can't explain it but it honestly feels like Im wearing over ears when I am listening to my Z5
is the amp in the HA2 not as good as the c5? Is the Dac the main performer in that package?
Hello, Thread - I just got my Amazon XBA-Z5s a couple of days ago. A few weeks prior, I bought the EX1000s, and was totally blown away at how spacious and positional the soundstage was. Prior to that, I had some Shure E5Cs, which were replaced by a pair of SE425s under warranty. After using the 425s for around 4 years, I upgraded to the 535s and was totally disappointed: there was very little gain from the 425s, aside from a little bass. I was expecting much more, given the price gap. The EX1000s wholly impressed me compared to the 535s. I'm on the fence with the Z5s so far. The bass is very prominent and positionally forward, sometimes to the detriment of mids. I was wondering if an amplifier would do much good, and was eyeing the Schiit Fulla or the Fiio E10k. The Dragonfly is pretty highly recommended, but I'd rather have a mini \ micro USB female connection over a dongle. Thoughts on an amp that would give a nice mid bump?
Thanks!

Which set has better balance/neutrality?
