bass out of 805, get an amplifier (805+amp>895, better get the 895 xd, ohohoho) or EQ-ed setting. jus adjust low freq gain to ur liking la. but dun expect much la..800/805 series are really..not there yet..its jus in a totally different league compared to 895..i dunno why the reviewer classed it as that.

Yes I reckon SHP895 is class ahead of the SHP805 and the price also indicate so.

^ a quick glimpse through the datasheet shows that the AKM AK4353 DAC used in the Aurilium is on par with the Wolfson WM8728 used in the Chaintech AV-710. in fact, the Wolfson WM8728 (Chaintech) is a tad better than the AKM4353 (Aurilium) according to the specs.

and judging from the internal pic mikechai posted in his review, i would say the Chaintech has more or less the same DAC implementation as the Aurilium. but the Chaintech uses suckier cheaper caps in it (G-LUXCON compared to Panasonic).

Yes, the Aurilium has 2 DACs, AK4353 and Philips UDA1338H.

I found that the sound quality from the line out which uses the UDA1338H is superior than the headphone out.

So bear that in mind.

i only got Hp800 wor..
but anyway.
roughly is .HP800 have much more wider sound stage, treble also not so harsh.
but in bass, KOSS can produce better and deeper bass.

Oh... I thought you have SHP805...

I did a comparison in deep bass between the SHP805, KSC75 and K141M.
Using Dadawa, sister drums album, track #02 and #07.
To my surprise, the KSC75 came out last. Pwn3d by both the K141M and SHP805.
The Koss struggled while the Philips pumps out thumping good bass. Not too shabby.
I think Philips really improves the HP800, with the SHP805.
Next to try is EQ and MOD for the SHP805. thumbup.gif

the weird thing is, i've heard people saying the KSC75 is bright tongue.gif

Probably my bad, anyone can confirm? I might end up getting one smile.gif

Indeed KSC75 is on the bright side. But its nowhere disturbing.
I think the Koss has superb value/performance ratio. Get it.

IMHO, eokboy or thedoctor amp will sound better. according to what i heard lah. =)
how ever, if battery is an issue, PA2V2 is not bad as it run on AA battery rather than 9V.
and it can last really long time.

Do you own or listen to these amps you mentioned? Just want to know.

Do you guys need amp when using SHP 895 with mp3 player(in my case Palm T|X)...

Cos the volume is very soft, just kinda strange to me...
Even on the max volume, is just like no sound to me...
If really need an amp, what would you recommend ?
Actually, is there a portable type philips cable ? with volume control ?
Wanna bring out, but the cable will get tangled and damaged...
SHP 895 here... XD

Been reading reviews from this thread before buying...
After bought, totally forgot about it...
Maybe too stastified with it... XD
*
SHP895 has no problem with other MP3 players, probably its your Palm...
