HD600 Upgrades

BeyerDynamic Volume at 25%
So i bought Beyerdynamic A20 & used ArcamIrDAC
This was like ..... Jaw droopingly different for me.
Bass - was punching you in the face, sharp & precise no more prolonged unclear while still hearing the rest of the song .each Instruments now can be heard individually. High notes so real clear & awesome.
Sound ends Its totally Silent. No Hum or slight audio, its totally dead off.
Female vocalists no longer sound like Men & are high pitched & have good differences between low voice & high voice

After playing some BF4 on 100% audio in the settings.
Close DMR's high pitch sound actually scared the crap out of me it was soo high pitched i thought it was going to hurt my ears at first.
A RPG hit me. the bass Was Beautiful. firing an RPG you can hear the air come of the chamber after the rocket.

I found out a few new facts i never knew,
BF4 tested on 34% & 100% audio Volume.
I played some BF4. did you know after you fire a shotgun a few seconds afterwards their is a second sound clip of air coming back to you from the chamber? i didn't till tonight. imagine a sloww motion shot you hear the bod dooom coming back at you.

even on 34% audio Volume
Music on the scoreboard, did you know theirs a sound clip in the music of a door shutting inbetween the sirens?


All in All
im keeping the HD650s
Im buying most likely another ArcamIRDAC for my other setup(s)
Im Sooo keeping This new A20 for my headphones

Glad you are happy :) been looking into you Arcam, the ones I've heard where the lower models and they were pretty good.

Yours seems really good, don't think you'd find a big upgrade over it. I'm using the dac from my Fiio players which isn't as good as yours but if the amp is good enough then I don't think the Dac matters as long as it's not complete crap haha.

Enjoy the HD650 I find it superior to even the Audeze headphones(current production) it's a real Hifi headphone.
 
cheers i have decided one thing im not going tubes. to much maintaince for me.

i was tempted by following so far...
Creek OBH-21 MkII Headphone Amplifier
Schiit Asgard 2
Graham Slee Novo Headphone Amplifier
Beyerdynamic A20 Desktop Headphone < really liking the look of this

but not sure both get rave reviews.... but so many to choose from.

If your considering a graham slee the novo is the wrong option

Its the 3rd option ... id go srg11 as a minimum


edit ..... I didn't read the entire thread ... glad you like what you bought lol
