Added on February 28, 2009, 10:37 pmthis beast need a full amp to push, i auditioned b4, bass is way too much for me make me headache & feel like warm it.
if u get a proper amp, then u will know the real hidden power of it. try search Mark L modded on D2000 at Head Fi..u sure able to get this beast to another higher level.

anyway Denon cans are built in quality & very solid just like Beyer Dynamic. Good choice.

for movie i would recommend wireless ATH DWL5000

for FLAC, u got to get tetrabyte hdd or ipod classic instead, u will run out of space super fast
i only used 320bits, my ear cant differentiate CD & 320bits above, so wont go for so extreme
if 1 day going for electrostatic setup, then need FLAC or CD will be useful

haha SACD, here original CD also hard to get
thanks for the info bro

welcome to IE8 club ro
let;s the burning begin...tell us your finding ok

did u use the ear hook? it really help the fitting..it works for me

how bout customize earbud? or olive type?
my ear canal is not fussy i having worse experience when i listen to my ie6 for past 3mths.
maybe from that torture, now IE8 really feel so comfort now.

wow woo audio.. highend stuff...

My recent setup:

Audio-GD Compass with Earth,Moon, Sun Opamp. Combo with Silveramp. Not so good synergy, SQ is better from compass+Opamp itself with UM Quad Custom.

Source from Macbook Pro 15" Unibody via default Toslink Cable.

The Sun/Moon HDAM from Audio-GD

My portable rigs>Silveramp & Alien DAC. SQ still pretty good IMO & always travel together with me on biz trip

UM Quad Driver Custom IEM

Thanks, ribbon is smooth & good clarity.
so had u audition ribbon spkrs?

Gotten new toy today, toslink switch (3way type), so making my life easier when using 3 different source (PS3,Xbox360 & Macbook Pro) by changing the channel that i need & now i able to standardize my connection w/out hassle:

Source-toslink>Toslink Switch>Behringher SRC2496 (dac/upsampling)-toslink>Audio GD Compass-RCA>Emotiva LCM-1 (AVR)-RCA>Emotiva XPA5 (Power Amp)>Swans F4


Then remove my tube buffer from my F4 connection & combo with my T200B+SRC2496 instead
