personal advise, get an amp first.

thanks for your advice, before this, i'am already have hippo pipe amp bundle with m50.

the LE version for M50S are AWESOME for TECH and DJ

Hi, friends, I have a question, the SJ33, is it good with vocal and pop songs, more specific, kpop songs. Going to get it for my gf which is not an audiophile. Thanks in advance.

I would recommend you to save up first and get a Centrance DACport. It's lightweight and easily portable which i need very much.

the DAC totally > the headphones price and thats wrong in my book (again, personal opinions)

unless he only listens to a PMP, in which centrance DACport with the accompanied amp would be totally ideal, then id just stick with free ASIO and a decent sound card

I don't think you can connect the DACport to a PMP.

hmm now that you mentioned it... i dont recall anything else able to connect to it other than usb...

thanks for your advice guys, referring to Quazacolt, its seem that the price of DAC higher than my headphone.. over 1k i see according to jaben, kind expensive for me.

which is better, combo amp/dac or separate between both of them? i read some review at headfonia and kind attracted to Fiio E10 and E7. So between hippo cricri, Fiio E10 or E7, which one u guys recommend for me to pair with m50? thanks guys for your reply

another option is e17

id prefer to separate, more flexibility/control

and personally i dont prefer fiio for audio technicas

Yup, only USB.

I prefer separate. About the amp and dac, can't really comment, never listen to them for a long time.

might be little out of my budget, but can be considered.

why u don't prefer fiio for AT? care to elaborate?

yeah, separate will give us more control right. so at last i still don't know which one i want to buy.. currently i using hippo pipe amp but i feel that there are something missing.. my budget for amp/dac maybe in rm400..
prefer more bassy and clarity. if only my place near Jaben, so i can try maybe each one of them before buying

Tested xba-4 , wow, couldn't even match up with adagio III

they dont sound natural to me

Hi all, I'm currently has a quite a few years old AT-CK300M, it's still give me the signature that I need for my daily music and movie's audio, and it was too bad one of the cable (left side) near the driver unit is becoming stiff (stiffer by the day).
Sim from SCLG told me it's the copper oxidized, I haven really notice the lost of detail, haven trained my ear to those high-end driver to actually differentiate it.
Comes my question,
1. Can I change the cable of this little baby?
2. Is it worth all the trouble?
3. Can it preserve the signature that I love all this while?

Btw I'm aiming for BeyerDynamic XP3 or VSonic GR02, both these are bass oriented but I might return to this neutral CK300M sometimes for listening pleasure

Thank you in advance for inputs.

Where to order ATH-A700 replacement pads? Anyone know? Mine are starting to flake.

Since this is audio technica thread... I would recommend ckm55

As for gr02 and xp3, i think they are from different league... Gr02 less than rm100 and xp3 rm199...
