Try out the HE-400, I regret I did... For a while there, my brain sort of melted... Sergio Mendez couldn't sound any better...

Ill be on the lookout for a second hand then.
The net says it makes a big difference. But i would prefer feedbacks from filipino ears

Thank you guys for all the heads ups. Will surely value all those inputs as I start my journey to the world of cans. In the meantime I just have to make the most out of my Sennheiser CX300II and FiiO E11 with my IPod Classic 160.

Ow good gear you got there... If you want to upgrade your listening experience, you can try balanced armature iems for better clarity and resolution, especially for those jazz tracks...

Headphonia has a rather controversial yet interesting review on the newly-released Philips Fidelio L2 calling it the 2nd best driver (next to the HD-700) in the sub $1k price even better than the HE-400/500 and the famed HD650/600. wow.

im a bit sarcastic considering its a Philips but if it really is as good as they say it is, then Philips has really improved a lot. this one really made me curious considering its only $299 and way cheaper than the Senns and Hifimans. I wish i can audition this can somewhere, after all reviews are always subjective

nice can you got there. i think your dx50's amp is already good enough for your 325i's, they dont really require much power to drive, if you really want, based on your budget alone, Egghead has the Alo Audio National at 14k. or even some cheaper amps from ibasso like the D7 or T5 or even the JDS Labs C5, another one much cheaper and prob the best bang for the buck definitely fit for your Grado is the Fiio E12.

hmmm. thinking of "replacing" my iPod Classic + Fiio E07K combo with Fiio X3. hmmm..

what you guys think? is it worth it?
