I have both the V-MODA M100's and the ATH-M50's. I compared the two using a MacBook Air (which has a much better sound card than my Windows laptop, but probably not as amazing as an external DAC).
I listened to a 30 second clip from a .flac song on both headphones at the same volume. I can hear the music so much more crisp and clear on the M100's than I can on the M50's. There are some notes that I can ONLY hear on the M100's that the M50's seem to muffle out.
Now, I know I'm comparing it on a MacBook Air. But if I were to get an external USB DAC, wouldn't the M100's still sound better than the M50's? Or am I missing something here?
