Quazacolt - empty handed for now. You probably won't want the ad900 for the time being as the ear pads are pretty much deteriorated through daily use (my speaker still being repaired rofl
like, the sponges are all busted out of the broken/torn leather
i do have the Centrance DAC port LX and GoVibe peak if anyone wants to try them out.

considering the thread title, is this november or still october?

dont think i've auditioned anything from your list yet

Since sungai Wang, recommend to park at lowyat or sungai Wang straight? Or where else?

ah ad2000, i thought ad2000x

missed you btw, i came around 6:30pm lol

and wow the sony MDR-Z7 http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/headband-headphones/mdr-z7 made me changed my perception of closed can headphones a bit w

auditioned:
- LCD X with ALO RX MK3 B+
- oppo PM1 and oppo HA1
- Sony MDR-Z7 with PHA-3 + Sony custom Kimber cable , and MDR-Z7 with ALO RX MK3 B+

Source:
my Sony Xperia Z1 3.5mm out or usb out with the PHA-3

rough summary:
i still prefer the LCD3 over the LCD X joshuachew comments? lol (if it gets too much we can shift towards the Audeze thread)
the MDR-Z7 is definitely the star for me, threw me off guard as to how close cans typically sound.

heck, E1 - AKG told me it's semi open/closed, however Sony themselves specify it as closed so

i really like the PHA-3, especially as a portal since it can connect usb with my Xperia phone easily.
however the power charging is a total turn off as it drains faster than the puny usb power source could charge it.

in the end i still prefer the stock cable over the kimber ones http://store.sony.com/high-performance-bal...le-Audio-Cables
because:
- comes with the headphone
- black chrome > colorful oddness
- biased preference against silver cables

and ALO audio RX MK3 B+ over the PHA-3 mainly because the PRAT ALO audio amp can provide.
the bass is also definitely much better on the alo than PHA-3

to sum up on the oppo - the bass just doesn't meet my minimum requirement

It merely reminded me on the pages of discussion on the other thread
