any good amp around rm1k to pair with HD650?

Some eye candy

Haha, dont poison me please, i only have money for an amp or cable, i cant have both, unless jaben is kind enough to bundle 2 the price for one for me

Yeah, my dream headphone. But initial listening, i find that the new driver HD650 is abit brighter and less bassy compared to the older driver. I would prefered it to be slightly less bright and more bassy.

Haha, i definitely will go and try both at jaben this weekend

Got this off garage sales, quite a good bargain. Still smells brand new. Couldnt wait for jaben to restock, taking too long

Yeah, lucky me but pity my wallet Haha, wow, too bad jaben dont have stock eh, if not would have gotten from them too.

Quite a good bargain i would say for a almost brand new unit with local warranty. Haha, either getting an amp or the symphonica cable, cant afford both. But logically i should get an amp first right? Played straight out from my ipod nano it sounded good, but now wow'ing to my ears yet Burn in period plays its part too i guess. Sounded quite similiar to my previous IE8 - the bass, haha.

Yup, it is

Haha, i cant wait already for a new unit. Plus this is quite new, still have the smell from the box!
Will see, dropping by jaben this sunday

Oh anyone can show me how to take out the earpads? I tried but failed, dont dare to pull further >.<

Arghh.. so many people asking me to buy the cable :S If i do get the cable, then probably i''ll just be using Hippo amp cause thats all i can afford after getting the cable, haha

Haha, how i wish i could drive my HD650 to the max. Sadly budget is an issue. I got other things to fund. Now i think of it, its kinda scary to own a HD650. Should have stayed with my philips headphone and be happy with it

Jaben should make a lucky draw to give out a symphonica cable, then there is a chance for me to own that cable. *hints yuheng*

ppk seems a good choice for me as i like warm sound signature more. But its abit pricey for an amp only without a DAC for me, on a tight budget akabane's amp is over budget for me. Thinking of getting a Maverick D1 as i can use it for my speakers as well.

ampless eh? hmm, i'll try it out at jaben this sunday to see the difference. *hope i dont get poison, my resistance is quite high *

is the D1 warm sounding? I think i read somewhere its warm type. All i need is to have a warm and more bassy amp. burning in my HD650 for few days already, cant wait for it to hit like 1k hours, haha

I see, harsh highs on some songs eh. Hmm, thats a problem. :S I hate harsh trebles. Piercing to the ears.

Hmm, will have a demo at jaben first to see the hippo amp in action as im not a believer of the hippo amp just yet


We shall indeed

Yeah, thats a bummer, but good thing that it seems to be quite good in the bass department. Plus the opamps is changable if i dont like the stock sound

Edge? yuheng mentioned that its very good with beyers, not sure with sennheisers. Will try some amps that suits my budget

Oh, sounds good. New driver HD650 i assume? Only bad thing is no warranty back here.

oh, i see. Wait you are talking about your ibasso D1? Im talking about Maverick D1.

Haha, was confused for a moment

Its a risk if you are willing to take but its very cheap for that price.

ah, VAT will be around 2.5-5% if not mistaken. Postage is going to kill you man, as you need to buy insurance for your package. Certainly not going to be cheap.

15% tax for audio stuff (from the value you declare) And i dont think you are going to under declare it as the amount insured will be the amount declared. Unless you dont want to get insurance and risk a HD650 lost in transit

Bulk you can if you can provide a good price. Im sure there are a few people here eager to buy a HD650.

Erm its worldwide, except for Malaysia. Which is rubbish. Nearest we can send to is Singapore. Provided its from authorised seller in the sennheiser website, with receipt.
