Hello, I'm new here and would like some advice concerning headphone amps. I pretty much have no knowledge on the matter, all I know is that my headphones aren't performing at their full potential, and I need a headphone amp to get them there. The problem is, I'm 16 so I don't have enough money...

the biggest improvement is in the bass, there isnt "more" bass, just better sounding bass. it definitely does sound different, i have no idea why either. any ideas? both my AD700s and HF5s sound way different out of it versus my ipod. it sounds more "focused" then the ipod in the other...

So I read, lurked, browsed, compared, and researched, until I decided that the DT880 (600ohm) will likely be my next upgrade.  Of course, unlike my previous headphones (ATH-AD700s, which I loved), they will need some decent amping to work.  What would make a good desktop dac/amp for $250?  The...

Hi,              I was wonderin how well sound quality would improve by using this amp. I am using a Sennheiser IE6, Sennheiser HD280, and a  computer with the stock sound card. I plan to use an Ipod Touch 4th generation. Also, would I plug in an auxillary wire into my computer headphone port...

Ive been doing a lot of research about amps and such to use with my Sennheiser HD598s.   I have heard the E7 and E9 together are pretty good for them.   Im wondering if my music that is downloaded from itunes would benefit from this amp? Or because it is not the highest quality the amp...

Hey there, before i start i would just like to say that i've been on this site for virtually 24 hours straight for advice and i'm only doing this as a last resort. as the title says i need an amp/dac combo as i do not want to start fiddling with separate units and tubes etc. I will be listening...

I don't know much about the newer generation iPod classics, but my friend pointed toward my DT880 yesterday and said, 'Hey I haven't seen those before, can I try them on?" [non audiophile, but then again neither am I.] So I pull up my media library and told him go ahead, but he insisted on...

hello all,  I am purchasing a pair of monster miles davis iems and I am looking for an amp for them ex. fiio e7, however in the future I plan to purchase a pair of HD650 (for home use) and I know I need an amp for that aswell, is there any reccomendations for an amp that wont be overkill for the...

Hi,   As some of you know I received my new HD650, E7/E9 combo about 2 months ago. It's still new and has less than 100hrs of play on it (I've been on a 1 month business trip and didn't bring it with me). I am missing the setup so bad!!!   On to business. I currently use an HD595 +...

My current set-up is either a 1st generation Ipod Nano or a Numark record player. The sound then goes through my dads old Akai amp and then either to my Grado sr-80 headphones with mods (dynamat, wood cups, 10 holes punched, loin cloth removed) or some speakers. My question would be what should...

Good Evening All,      I'm here to pose a question to the community.  Currently in the market for a new set of headphones. My current setup is an E7/E9 combo and shure 840's.  Can't stand these shure's comfort-wise (no complaints on sound though).  I have no intention of buying a new dac/amp...

Okay, hoping Head-fi can help me out a little with this.   I just recently got in to the world of "real music" and by that I mean, listening to music on a real set of headphones and hearing things in the songs that I have never heard before.  Up until recently, I've only owned 50$ headphones...

Hey Guys, I am thinking about buying the Sennheiser HD518, But before I buy these headphones I just need a clear a few things. Could you guys please answer me these following questions about the Sennheiser HD518.   1. Do the Sennheiser HD518 use Velour Earpads? On the Sennheiser Website it...

  Hello   I have been on this website for quite a while mostly in lurker status or usually to purchase IEMS or get advice on them. Right now i think its time to get my feet wet with a decent pair of full sized headphones.   So heres the deal   Presently my equipment is  ...

The combo has to be a total of $600 and this includes the used price in FS section as $600 used combo MAY be much better than new combo for $600.   Priorities   1. overall sound quality, it needs to sound like a high-end headphone transparent, great clarity, non sibilant 2. good bass...

Has anyone purchased from Micca Store? Reason being is I'm considering purchasing a FiiO E1 (because it's the only store that I've found with a black one), but I would just like to know how their service is. Thanks in advance.

So no idea what I'm doing but here is the result of my paste and copy search to compare different output power of different amps or amps/dacs. Basically, I wanted a sense of how much power a E11 had compared to a UHA-4 compared to a P4, etc...   As far as I know, this is the output per...

In terms of sound quality, which one would you consider to be better between the iBasso D10 or the Fiio E7+E9 combo?   And from reading around a bit, am I correct to understand that the D10 is more of a brighter sound than the Fiio combo?   I've tried the search button but couldn't find...
