I can use Windows 7's built-in bass boost, which compensates to prevent distortion, but I still want a defect-free product. If the bass clipping is due to design rather than defect, then I'll be okay...

Fiio E7 Bass Clipping.

I recently purchased a Fiio E7 (which I'm using as a USB DAC/Amp) and am having this issue with the bass boost at all settings other than "0," which is "off." I've read many reviews that say that the...

I've only heard the Audéo (which I liked).

From what I've read, it seems to me that the Atrio M5 would be closer to the HJE900 as they have bassier sound signatures with the Atrio M5 having the...

So, then, what is the difference between, for example, a 16-ohm BA and a 16-ohm dynamic driver if they have the same impedance spec.? I keep finding sentences that imply that BAs (especially...

Just F.Y.I.,

I've been updating this review over the months. Nothing major, I think. Just getting a bit more descriptive and specific about things.

The Sennheiser HD600 and HD650 look good. They both have very open designs and would have the additional bass warmth.

I don't know how the DT990's soundstage compares, but the Q701/K702's soundstage is as legendary as the AD700/AD900's soundstage, from what I've read.

Good luck with whatever you decide.
