All in all, both AD700 and SR80 are better than HD 555.

The AD700 sounds light and airy with wide soundstage, while SR80 has better bass but narrower soundstage. So with an amp, AD700 would sound more balanced and all-round, pretty much makes it a safer bet.

oh...Thanks..I just ordered an ad700..hahah..I think it'll complement my HD 555 well..

Which amp would you recommend? D2, D10, Mini^3, Secret Amp? I'm on tight budget..So best value please!

D2 perhaps if tight on budget. Try look around garage sales if there's anyone selling (if you prefer 2nd hand, can get around RM400+).

LOL, purchased from LYN member in M'sia and posted all the way to US?

my bad. i didn't know he's in the US.

Haha..Nah, thanks for the suggestion!

I'll look around headfi..haha..

I have the PL11, JBL 220, and JVC FX33 (Kramer mod) but cannot say that audited them because I am not at that level. I hope to audit them and share the experience in the future. For now, I feel PL11 is not as good as the other two in term of bass (quality, not quantity) and treble but easier to drive with FiiO5. FX33 is selling at Carrefour, Jaya Jusco and of course Amazon etc.

I like the JBL 220 SQ, they're pretty gd for the price.

Haven't tried any decent IEMs before..The last i tried was Headdirect RE2..I didn't like it..And i went on to get my HD 555..and now there's my ad700 coming too..Hopefully soon will get a hd580 or smtg and end all this spending..hahah..

Should gv them a try, they're gd and SMALL xD

I 'm thinking of trying UHP 336..A rebranded Super.fi 3 i heard..Any suggestions?
It's almost only a quarter of Super.fi 3's price..

What's the price tag for both exactly?

Super.fi 3 is about 130 plus usd..
UHP 336 is about 40 usd..

The reviews on the SF3 ain't very gd just FYI Better off getting smth like the Music Valley or SoundMagic...

For USD$40, the UHP 336 sure seem a bang for buck. lol

USD 40 is not very cheap ady, almost RM140++ if including those postage and handling fees... The SF3 is said to be bass shy, out of 10 reviews I read, it's like 7-8 of them are negative one

lol it's that bad huh?

but for a rebranded super.fi 3, if one is willing to try, i don't see why not. lol =D

Oh..Some1's selling it to me for 20$..But nah, not gonna bite anyway..haha. I don't like non-bassy types..Seems too neutral to me..Like RE2..Not my type. hahaha..I mean it's good, but doesn't satisfy me. haha..

I'm saving up for my SR 225 and HD 580..And secret amp

long time no people update this thread already..
Recently I tried Fiio E3 and I found out that E3 is more bass boost than E5..
If ur IEM is bass light, u may try that..

Yeah..Need some1 to bump it

ehehe..Just got my AD700..So far not too impressed though..haha..Well, it can hold it's own against my HD555, but doesn't exactly "blow it out of water", as some headfiers might describe the rivalry between HD 555 and AD700..

E3 is good on bass, but it doesn't have that button that you can choose between flat and bass boost..
