How much better would you say the DT770/80 sound than the 555s with Eve 6 or the alike?

It's hard without A/Bing, but I'd say that Eve 6 is more fun and enjoyable with the Beyers. However, that's the combo of the Beyers + 0404, vs. the HD555s straight from an X-Fi. The bass is much punchier and definitely makes its presence known with the DT770s though.

I wish you wouldn't have sold me the HD555s before you got the DT770s. So many questions that could have been easily answered.

I had both for about 3 days, I think. But I don't think I listened to the HD555s at all once I got the Beyers.

Edit: Got outbid on the HD580s... god, today is just not my day.

What was the final bid at?

Btw, I've always wondered, what does 'Fírinne Agus Cóir' mean?

It's not over yet, but it's above my price limit. Currently at ~$145 plus $10 shipping.

And Fírinne Agus Cóir is Gaelic for "Truth and Justice". Planning on getting it tattooed on my left shoulder this summer. =D

Hey guys,

How do these measure up?

Headstage Lyrix Pro USB Headphone Amp
C&C Box+ Portable Headphone Amp
C&C XO Portable Headphone Amp

Is the XO worth twice the price of Box+ from a sound quality perspective?
How do the C&C ones compare to the Headstage option?

Many thanks

for about the same price as the box+ I'd get the mini3. It's a better all around amp. On the other hand the box+ + Senns + rock =

Hey thanks for the reply and the info!

That selection is what I can fairly easily get hold of in the UK. Very thin on the ground for headphone amps....

What about the Box+ +Grados + Rock = ?

Is the quality of the XO much greater than the Box+ or is the money in the cosmetic engineering?

I'd say go with a more neutral amp like the mini3 with Grados.

Although, I'd just get a nice tube amp... but that's me

Well, got the headfive today, so I don't have to mess with trying to get my money back. Thankfully.

Now I just have to wait until 7 pm for the front desk to let me have it. >.<
