    Ear pads for Audio Technica A550Z

    Just got these new headphones, looking for ear pads that better for the ears than the stock pads. I like ear pads like the ZMF Suede ear pads that I got for my HE-400i's. Looking for a cheaper option.

    Adapter for Original Hifiman HE-400i

    Is there a place where I can buy smc to 2.5 mm plug to put into the smc on the heafphones so I can use some 2.5mm plugs instead of the smc's for ease of use?

    ifi Nano idsd portable dac vs the TA-01 with golden lion tube.

    The Nano BL doesn't give as much power as the TA-01 but I've heard that the Nano competes with the mojo in sound. The golden lion tube is said to drastically increase the quality of the ta-01 which also has the cs4398(I think) dual dac.

    Would the Monoprice USB/DAC be able to power the HE-400i.

    Question is the title. Would it be able to power them or should I get something like the TA-01 and a golden lion tube?

    How Do Balanced DACs work.

    I see a Schiit Jotunheim with a balanced DAC module, but I don't know how the module works. Does it work for the normal headphone jack. I.E Would it affect the sound going into my Hifiman HE-400i's? Should I pick the Jotunheim with the DAC module for $400 over a Topping D30 and A30 for $190?

    New Headphones vs New DAC/Amp

    I have a HE-400i and want a HE-400S, but I also want a new dac/amp. Which one should I get. The 400S is about 230$ and the DAC/Amp is the ifi Nano DSD which is 199.99$. Which one should I go for? I can only get one of them and it'll be a while until I can get something at the same price point of...

    Trying to upgrade or sidestep from my HE-400i's.

    I use to have a Schiit Fulla but sold it because of some problems with it.

    Trying to upgrade or sidestep from my HE-400i's.

    Most of the problems would probably rest on the limitations of the dac, but I also feel that the HE-400i has an unnaturalness in voices and I was wondering if the 400S do better in that department? Just adding something in, are the HD 700's worth the 400-500$? Or would I be better off with the...

    Trying to upgrade or sidestep from my HE-400i's.

    Would it be better at this point to just get a higher quality dac?

    Trying to upgrade or sidestep from my HE-400i's.

    I want to either upgrade my HE-400i to the HE-400S or get a K7XX or HD 6XX. Getting the Sennheisers or AKG would be more costly because I would need to get a new DAC/AMP for them. What should I get and is it worth the price to change to the Sennheisers or AKG? I mainly game and listen to music.

    Schiit Stack vs Sennheiser GSX 1000

    I heard that even though it is virtual 7.1, it is better than most or all other virtual 7.1 software.

    Schiit Stack vs Sennheiser GSX 1000

    I have a Hifiman HE-400i and want to get some better music out of it. I am currently using an Asus Xonar DGX(30$) and want a better dac/amp. The Schiit Stack will almost certainly have better sound quality, but the GSX has nice features and especially the 7.1 surround, which I hear is amazing...
