    Denon AH-7200

    You can read posts by me or even better zolkis in this thread. He covered pads for 7200 extensively. To quickly answer your question in Universe pads - they fit, but they change the sound signature a bit too much for my taste. I've tried Ori, Universe and hifiman pads on 7200 and still using...

    HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread

    Got my Arya on Friday. First impressions - good resolution, nice sub bass (even in comparison to HE560 and Denon 7200). Minor comfort issues on my rather small head, the headband adjuster refuses to stay at desired setting, had to fix it in place with a small piece of wire. Surprisingly I don't...

    RME ADI-2 DAC Thread

    Don't worry about the power, it has plenty. I just prefer the MJ2 with ifi tubes, but it is more a matter of preference. Just try it. Also don't be shy to explore all the DSP options the DAC provides, you can really tailor the sound to your liking.

    RME ADI-2 DAC Thread

    With latest firmware/drivers minor issues I had were fixed. the DAC part of ADI-2 DAC is its strongest side. Amp is decent but not extraordinary. It is powerful enough to drive most phones (don't forget there is a Hi-Power mode if you need), but I like the sound more out of my MJ2, except maybe...

    Is there a website where I can buy some 5200 pads already? My google-fu failed me on that one

    Denon AH-7200

    These HPs are rather easy to drive. I tried them with Teac-UD301, ifi iDAC2, MJ2 and RME ADI-2 DAC and they perform quite good on all of them, very minor differences (in comparison to my other HPs). If you don't need balanced outputs I would try the iDAC2 - it has decent amp for low impedance...

    RME ADI-2 DAC Thread

    I use it with my Denon 7200 (bio-cellulose drivers as well). I quite like it, the built-in amp is very decent. Maybe not as powerful to run HD800s, but I cannot comment on that as I don't have them. But the built in EQ is very very thorough, it might be useful with HD800s if you ever want to...

    RME ADI-2 DAC Thread

    After a week with ADI 2 DAC I started using built-in amp a lot more and I quite like it. Very very impressive, especially given that it is paired with a really impressive DAC for the price. And all the comments on build and manual quality are true, it is really well made. Thumbs up to German...

    Those Dune Pilot guys are pretty amazing, bought the album after listening here, good stuff, thank you.

    RME ADI-2 DAC Thread

    Got the unit yesterday, very impressed by build quality and driver quality. Plan to mostly use it as a DAC, with occasional headphone amp when I want solid state sound for my D7200. Preliminary impressions on the built in amp are very positive, but I need more time to test properly.

    Denon AH-7200

    I just did a comparison of stock pads to ZMF Universe pads (originally ordered for HE-560), and I still like the stock pads better on 7200. With Universe pads you feel more bass, but it kind of muddy and woolly to me and it creeps into low mids area which I don't like. Universe pads seem to be a...

    Schiit Mjolnir 2 Listening Impressions

    ifi NOS 6922 tubes (let's call them that) do live up to the hype. Really enjoying them now with HE-560, if someone is still on the fence about them - just go for them, for the price its hard to find anything better at the moment IMO. For last couple hours I tried some very different music from...

    Denon AH-7200

    Yeah, unless I manage to get my hands on either of these pads really cheap, I'm not going to bother - I like stock pads on my D7200 and the overall sound.

    How much are those? Because utopia pads are 230 GBP (like half the price of D7200).

    I want to try Focal Clear/Utopia pads on my D7200 but they are crazy expensive.
