Great cans. All I have now are my 10 DT48. Iwant to get the HD800 and NUforce oppo upgrade in a yr.

If you are looking for a over the top flat headphone, and dead neutral, buy a used DT48e vintage pair on ebay. The 48e. They are also bulletproof, and used for testing, measurements, ENT DRs, field work, ENG, and voice reproduction, and used in hospitals, research labs, and studios. Highly...

I will get the HD800 or T1. I taking gaming audio vary serious.

You make me want one. I do have a modded & balanced Bel Canto DAC2.. Was 1,200 in 01.. Still is a great DAC.. & I have a upgraded Goldpoint amp pro. Best amp I heard for under a grand. Works wonders with my Ortho's & 7 DT48 headphones.

A lot of DT48.. Goldpoint Headphone Pro amp RE.. Modded Bel Canto DAC2 with balanced out puts. Denon 2930ci..

Please look at my amp/dac blog on teamxbox. I list around 30..

If you want headphones that far exceed their cost I'd look at The AD700 for 80-90 DT48 for 60-125 used K500/501 100-150

If you want accuracy, balance, neutral/nature timbre, I'd get a used DT48e for 60-150 used online.

The more transparent the headphone, the more noticeable the upstreaming of your components will be.. The headphone becomes totally submissive to the components, which can be good or bad.. The 131 is that much better then the DAC in your 663? Not just different? I have the Yamaha 1800. I'm hoping...

Any electronic device that supports digital audio has a DAC.. The DAC 'interprets' how the digital music should sound.. Calculations, etc.. Digital music is easy to minipulate, thats why studio engineers love digital. More flexible then LP and analog. Theres over sampling and non over sampling...

I disagree.. 501 more natural.. The 701 lacks the AKG house mid range.. Sound stage is inflated & exaggerated with a hollow feel to it.. & can sound plastic like with certain instruments. Fitz owned ever AKG headphone, minus the 701, which tells you something.. It might be one mans opinion, but...

Not true at all about closed headphones being musically inferior. You have the DT48/900ST/W5000/D2000/D5000/ D7000/R10 'the king'/Victor 1000/Victor 700/E8/E9/Pro 900/780.. Just to name a few....)

501/601/MDR F1

No. The 501/340/K1000 are superior/better then the 701.

Actually the DT48 is better, but they are a reference monitoring headphone.. The V6 are mainly studio cans.. They are more popular for lab & acoustic research, audiomentry, broadcasting stations, recording & film studios. Retail is around 450.00. Unmatched build quality. Very accurate, balanced...

Got my 4th DT48 saturday! (Hears crickets)

Big Joe is da shxt.. Well worth the 250.

The 5500 take way too much heat. They are PC speakers, which are 'good' for gaming. If you have a budget of 200, these will serve you well. Unless Logitech is pushing the Z5500 as audiiophile, high end speaker system, then the bashing is warranted. But I don't see that. Just compare the Z5500 to...

Buy vintage speakers.. Some of the best sounding speakers come from the 50s and 60s.. When it comes to audio, theres really no major technological advancement. My DT48 headphone is based off the dt48 silver that was introduced in 1950, which was based on the original eugene beyer DT48 (wisp) in...

Ribbon speakers for the win.

My DT480 is great for realistic gun fire..Of course they are 36 yrs old too.. And the grandfather to the DT150.

Got mine off Ebay..But I thought it was 1/4.. It's 1/8, so I need to use another adapter (1/4) to listen with my receiver. I paid 20.00. I would be wiling to let it go for 11.00 shipped if interested.

The best thing to do is to buy a vintage headphone for under 100. The AKG 280 was 250 in 1987. I paid 40.00. The AKG 270 can be had for under a 100 and sold for 270. There are great bargains to be had..The 80's Yamaha Orthodynamic, flagship Y-1 for under 100. Hopefully, I'll get the AKG 140 and...

The AD700 has very good vertical depth..

Going used is the best way to go.. Nearly half of my headphones are used.. Rich/full sound? Wouldn't say lacks, just not heavily present. They are a bit recessed with a colored mid range.. The 75 ohm adapter does improve on the AD700s sound.. &, yes, you would need an amp with a little more...

Let me clarify, New & dynamic.

I need someone to build me the 4 channel B22...*)

So, you don't want our opinions for something better?

I'd be more concerned with speaker placement since your gear seems good enough for the price.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but no headphone is better then the AD700 for under 100. Amazon is selling for for 78.00. And a owner reported that using a 75 ohm adapter made it sound even better. I should be getting my 75 ohm adaptor next week.

Yeah.. And I still want more. The 48e 200 ohm. The 48 silver. And the original cir 1937 48..Looks really bad ass too. Still want the W5000, 900, 501, 880 600 ohm, and around 10 more I can't afford. Hopefully, I will wake up one day and say.. I only need one headphone.

Thank you, but I can't buy any more gear till I get my tax return back.. And will probably go the balanced source route.

Just ordered my 3rd DT48. This is the 25 ohm version. I have 12 headphones now,,,,*).

If I buy a Denon headphone it will be the 7000.

Theres more to SQ then just a DAC chip. I think my V1800 Yamaha has the same DAC chip as yours, or a similar model. I do know that the DAC chip cost around a buck or two. But the DAC capabilities is still very impressive to my ears, but like I said, theres more to SQ then a dac.. I used a 1,000...

You can get a used top of the line KES 151 tube DAC for 200, which is theft..You can find so many great sounding, used dacs for much less. Buying used has saved me over a 1,000. And the electronics are build to last a life time..Some vendors allow for a changable warranty, which means a 2nd or...

Analog still remains king.. Digital just screws up the music..A member of boston explained it perfectly in my S&V mag.. Most ipoders don't invest the time to appreciate the music. It's a convenience thing to them. As long as it's loud it's ok. Audio integrity be damned.

Why no like the GS1000?
