going to try out AD900 and buy if no problem.
what DAC can make ad900 push more on the mid ?
note : as i've been hearing the ksc75 for more than 1000 hours, used for 1 and half years, I'm prefer more on mid emphasizing, or more forward,
a bit bright is preferably

i havent gotten into DACs yet, as i find the x-fi titanium sufficient enough to push it. Even the shitty laptop (dell SXPS 13) on board IDT sound card aint too bad either (quite an understatement i guess, its pretty shitty lol, and f*** the x-fi software lulz), i would say maybe 70-80% of what my pc is doing.
then its further paired with the govibe peak and i find this amp really good to compensate the bass for the AD series, the gain boost also covers highs, mids and lows pretty well. i have also just recently auditioned the AT HA20 amp at jaben, havent tried with my own ad900 as i sent it in for warranty

how with everything else i tried for it, in comparison with the govibe peak, i find this amp really really smooth, laid back and i think it does compliment majority of audio technica's headphones pretty well. that said, its not as laid back/smooth as the audio GD compass, that one is just too much for my taste
overall, its cheaper than the govibe peak too, and it looks HELLA sexy with the see through shaded acrylic panel, with blue LED to highlight the internal components of the amp. no option to tweak bass/gain boost on/off unlike the govibe peak though.
if you want amp pairing recommendations for the ad900, i would highly recommend either the HA20 (if ur onto smooth/laid back listening) or the govibe peak (for more engaging/forward listening, and good bass boost to compliment the lacking bass department of the AD series in general)
ps: i have the ksc75 too, and ive used it for so long, at least maybe 5years or so, its currently running naked without the foam as i never bother to replace it XD

any AT earphones (NOT IEM) to recommend?
budget rm100-200
LOW impedance (do not want to amp it, and will play from shit/simple sources like phone/company laptop lol)
must have shit isolation too as i need to hear if anyone will be calling me
checked out jaben, however jaben dont carry AT earphones

anyways anyone have any recommendations/experience for these? else i guess ill just post on the recommendations thread instead?
