How much did you spend on the reciever and speakers? Did you spend the same amount on the headphones?

No. But if all you want is a digital output, then most motherboards come with one, or at least a s/pdif header.

yeah.. mine doesn't have digital outs onboard.. I am using my audigy2. But I have an Entech DAC coming monday to feed my PPA and was wondering if I would hear a difference with a different soundcard if I go digital. Anyone know if you can use the both digital (front and rear connections) @ the same time on the audigy2? I want to feed my DAC the optical connection and have the rear coax digital go to my reciever.

I also have the ex71 and even with the low ended turned down, it still leaves me longing for more. What do you think of the ex71's? I'm considering the
Sharp MD33S phones as they are less costly than Ety's ER6, the Shure e3's, or e2's. I've owned the e2's and just felt they were kinda violating my ear holes a bit too much.

i only own the ex71, but might try out the MD33's or the panasonic.
heres a good comparison on the EX71 vs. HJE-50.

Entech 203.2 DAC

Hmmm, I've been hearing alot of talk about the m3 project yet but have seen very few finished yet, mind throwing up some pics X? Also which tubes do you like best in your millet, I like my sylvania 12ae6a's myself...Mister X said:Yup... it is one of the Head-fi prototype boards.
It is a pretty nice budget amp but it gets shredded by my M3.

Well, I got really drunk a few nights ago and had some paypal funds to play with. I, a known Senn fannboy, ordered another pair of MS-1s. I sold my first pair because I hated them for their extremely annoying highs. The day after I ordered the second pair, I didnt remember a thing from the past night. I noticed the order confirmation later that afternoon, and thought OMFG, WTF?!?!?!!! Well, I got the new pair in, and they are FREAKING AMAZING. Right now, I am totally sober, and am enjoying them more than my HD650s. I am confused as to why my first pair sucked though, was there some manufacturing change or something? I'm gonna give it some time, and if I still like the MS1s more, the HD650s will be sold for a pair of MS-Pros. I never really believed in the Sennheiser "veil", but they do seem very boring and withdrawed next to the MS-1s. The HD650s bass gets lower, and their frequency range is more flat, but the MS-1s are faster, and more enjoyable to these ears ATM. Grados soundstage still sucks though

Grados soundstage still sucks though Actually, I'm really enjoying the AD8610s with the Alessandros! Unbelievably! Its like either the insane brightness got up and left, or my tennitus has been cured I wouldnt want them to be any darker than they are now. I dont want to leave the Sennheiser camp though, I tried the MS-1s with gaming and was very unimpressed with sound positioning. Maybe I'll get some HD580s if the HD650s get sold.
Oh, BTW, I still want the opamps swapped in the EMU, but it has to wait till after the NC Head-Fi meet May 14th. We're having another meet the next month when headroom rolls into town, and I want to let everyone hear the difference an opamp swap can make

Damn........ you have some very nice gear Ed.
But you need a better amp..... Dynahi maybe?

That is not so hard to believe.... it's not so much that the 8610s are birght it's more like they are aggresive on the top end.

I will send the Millet along for the ride if you want to pay the return shipping.
(it was built to be a demo amp)

Well I actually built it but that is the same thing.
Some of you may recognize it from a certain head-fi thread.
ya i saw that, i have an original millet PCB... i cant believe they went through all the trouble of redesigning the pcb and still use BUF634's i thought they would put a discrete stage for sure, oh well... perhaps puting the drive stage of the M3 on the gain stage of the millet? hrmm... idea!
This is what I use now, the amp will be upgraded (several times) sometime over the summer. Current setup is HD580 with a Pimeta.
Sorry about the pic, I have no pics of my E2c's so I took this out of some Headfi meet pictures, and cropped it. I now use the small ultra soft flex sleeves instead of the foamies I had at that time.

FEEL HP-200se hybrid amp

Where do you find equipment like this? A google for FEEL and /or HP-200SE and so on turned up very little usable data...
I ask because i'd like to look into a tube amplifier of some sort, preferably one that is much cheaper than that one... as i'm sure yours is not in my current range.
