guys, if i import a pair of AD900X from Japan, what sort of tax will I need to pay? i checked a guide and it says supposedly only sales tax 10%, but a friend of mine who ordered a pair of beyerdynamics got taxed 30% (not sure if import duty or something else?)
could someone enlighten me? |

QUOTE(penmarker @ Mar 18 2013, 12:41 PM) To be honest, I don't think a lot of people understand taxes.  QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Mar 20 2013, 05:30 AM) Thanks. I've actually seen that thread & the convoluted gov website and both shows 10% sales tax only. The only thing I was trying to clarify was if anyone had ever get taxed any higher because my friend got taxed 30% (10% + 20% import). But thanks anyway. |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Mar 23 2013, 08:35 PM) so far i've no experience in getting taxed higher than 10%, however if you want a surest answer and an estimation of cost then it's best to refer to the official charts/listings by our customs department Thanks bro, gonna get the AD900X, hope the bass is acceptable  it'll be an upgrade from my A500. |

QUOTE(Axe93 @ Apr 3 2013, 01:20 AM) Not too sure about E10, from my experience with E10, they tend to get loose on the bass, not perfect pairing I would say. But that's just my opinion, take it with a grain of sugar, haven't heard the AD900X paired with E10. Nor the AD900X, kinda eager to find out how they sound. what would be a good choice in your experience? i have a friend who's going to the US and can really get some of these DACs for cheap. probably at around the same price level of an e10 or e07k andes max. it'll be my first DAC, so i'm not overly concerned or have discerning ears (yet)  |

QUOTE(Axe93 @ Apr 3 2013, 08:14 PM) Aiseh, I'm still junior audiophile, ask the sifus here. You need DAC only (if you have amp) or DAC/amp combo? I think with AT headphones amp become less important right. Since they can be driven easily. I'm also super junior... never owned a DAC / amp before.My friend will also be getting one for her AD700 and Sennheiser P100 and I go recommend her E10 / 07K based on Amazon reviews. Luckily haven't ordered yet I think for the both of us the purpose will be more to open up the bass. Any other advantage would be welcome, of course |

just got my ad-900x too. i wasn't too impressed with the sound compared with my a500. i guess i expected too much of it. it's good, in fact maybe slightly better than my a500 but i guess i was expecting too much

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Apr 6 2013, 02:00 AM) what do you think was lacking? the bass and the kind of "enveloping" sound that i was looking for, very hard to describe. say there is a full orchestra playing, and the sound is not necessarily overpowering, but kinda surrounds or "envelopes" you in it. |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Apr 6 2013, 06:15 AM) can i say your ad900x lacks bass/sound staging? sound stage i'm not sure as i've yet to test it with a live concert-kinda music, but the bass is not enough for me. |
