So I've been sitting here trying to A<>B these headphone DAC/AMP's, and I'm just not seeing much of a difference in their performance at all. I'm trying to find a difference but perhaps I just don't have the ear for it. They sound nearly identical. I'm currently listening to them on some Audeze...

I've noticed on my setup my 2.5mm HE-400i's have a pretty significant drop in response below 35hz. Under 32, it goes completely dark. I currently run a TEAC UD-301, which I believe should have enough power for the headphones but I'm considering what I believe to be a good DAC/AMP for planar...

So title explains it, I recently decided to see if there is anything better out there. Keep the old wallet bleeding. Things I like about the he-400i 1. Light-ish 2. Easily powered by phone 3. Great full range, not over emphasized on any side. 4. tight bass I like the headphone a lot overall...

I'm looking for someone on the forum who does pad repair, cable replacement. One of my pads has torn and needs to be fixed or replaced. Anyone know someone?

I had a nufroce udac3 that the usb port just broke on unforunately. (only 6 months old).  Looking for recommendations on a replacement?  Something portable, perhaps could be used with a phone?  Any thoughts?

I'm looking for suggestions for a headphone that has the same comfort and sound as the AKG 701 but in a closed format as to not annoy my neighbors in a public space.  Does such a thing exist?  I used to love my 701s both for their sound and their very large and comfy velour pads.

Does anyone else have problems with the off the shelf IEMs that are out there? I've had a handful of IEM's that just boggle my mind the way they are designed. They don't fit my ear canals at all. Generally I notice my ear canals curve backwards toward the back of my head and it seems a lot of...

I want to find a nice assortment of eartips to try for my Sony XBA-3IP's. I don't like the tips it came with, they keep coming out of my ear canal. Anyone have any suggestions? I seem to remember years ago my Etymotic 3flange tips were really secure. Although I think I remember them being kind...

What do you guys think of these? I just bought a pair and I'm significantly underwhelmed.  I can't seem to get a good seal with them( though admittedly I do have some weird ear canals). I also can't understand why they put the volume adjustment like 5 inches from the head phone. It looks like...

For the short time I had a pair of k701s. I really enjoyed them after my ears got used to the tininess of the high end. The acoustic guitar and similar represenatation was phenomenal and very "airy". Which might have just been also because they are probably the most comfortable headphones I've...

Is there a standard(or average) voltage/resistance that a dac outputs to an AMP?   I'm also curious if I run my HDP as a dac to another amp via rca's. What volume level I should keep the dac at or if it matters.  

This may be a dumb question but, what does it take to balance a pair of k701 and hd650's?   Other than selling my HDP and buying a new dac and amp, which I plan to do shortly. I'm thinking of an m3 amp and perhaps keeping my dhp as the dac. Not sure on that part yet.

I am curious if anyone has any thoughts on my current dillema LCD-2 + HDP   or   LCD-2 + Mapletree Super II + ????     I'm waiting to have mine built and I am looking around for a dac/amp to buy as my current setup consists of a AK k81dj + nuforce uDAC.   I want to try a big...

Hey, two questions about customs. Firstly , how far in do most of your customs go? It seems the tips but up against the inner ear but don't actually penetrate mine. Is this common? They curve back and rest against the opening. This works for the most part but I'm wondering if the sound is being...

do any of them have a usb charger with say a li-on battery or something comparable to an mp3 player? I've heard good things about the p3+ is this possible with one?

Curious if anyone has done this? Would it be possible for me to do this? I imagine I'd need a different amp

I need a very short, say 1ft RCA IC from my dac to amp and I happen to have a 50$ gift card to amazon. Do they offer any decent brands in head-fi's opinion? Just curious.

I love the way a Cello sounds and can sound. What would be your thoughts on a headphone that can best reproduce it. THis is mostly subjective, but eh, thought I'd throw it out there. I hear great Cello work on Damien rice's albums and I want better fidelity

Curious on peoples thoughts on a closed can that sounds similar to senn600. Cost not really a factor though preferably cheaper than a house in guatemala.

Does this require an amp? Everything is cold , bass, mid fallen off quite a bit from my pc's sound card. I just thought I'd try it before I got my amp but I'm just curious if it SHOULD be this way. ??

Curious if there's a specific type of amp i need for an hf2. I Just bought one with a pico USB dac only. So I have phones and a dac but no amp!! Price hasn't been determined yet but thinking between 2-500$ More interested though on learning what kind I need than which specifically. If that...

I am putting together my headphones and I went and bought my dac and headphone's but I'm really not sure at all what sort of amp to get for it. DAC PICO USB dac only PHones Senn hd-650 I'm looking to spend around 200$ :\

What's with the group ordering on these? Is there nowhere to buy them retail? Sorry if this is a vastly stupid question.

Is there such a thing as a USb tube dac/amp?
