Like everyone said, talk about the sound signature. Warm, dark, bassy, enhanced mid range, neutral, bright ?
And how about disclosure: Were these given to you for keeps by MEE once the review was done? If so, it affects judgement a little innit?
;-)
Well the thing is, i want to know the best solutions available irrespective of which headphone i have.
But since you asked, I have a pair of HD 428s. But besides this one I also have frequent access to a friend's HD 280 Pros and Audio Technica M50s. And i'm planning to invest in better cans...
I want to buy a sound card for getting the most out of my headphones. Just wanted to check with you guys if there is anything out there (in the consumer grade range) better than Xonar Essence STX. Would be great if you can suggest a few names. Thanks in advance.
There was a crazy amount of work this past month and so my purchase got delayed. The biostar is not available anywhere ! Lynx had it but not anymore :-(
Would be very grateful if anyone can suggest another board in the same price range... Thanks...
PS. I have all the components except the MB...
I've gone and bought everything except the Motherboard. Anuj from mediahome.in is shipping the card but the Mobo is out of stock. Anyone know where i can get it from?
Quite an uneventful day at Lamington Road today. Biostar TA785G3 was not available and the Athlon 635 was scarce. So the shop guys were trying to sell me a combo of 630 + TA785G3 HD for 10.7k which is again ridiculous. Sapphire Radeon HD5670 was available for Rs.6000. A good 800 bucks more than...
Thanks Compaddict. And thanks Sumit05 & Darkangel.

Motherboard Biostar - TA785G3 Rs.3650
Monitor Benq G2220HD Rs.7750
GPU Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5 Rs. 5400...

1. 915 GAV based :ashamed:

Hey thanks Devin.
But it never ends. The 630 is a good proc I've heard, but now i'm tempted to up it a little for the Phenom X4 Quad 925. For ram isn't Kingston better?
Also could you suggest a slightly lower GPU?
I'm most probably going tomorrow to buy.
Hey nice suggestions !
I wonder if you could suggest a config for me as well. I am looking at nearly the same price point - 30K
No speakers. DDR3 is a must and so is a 22" display. I was thinking of the Benq G2220HD. Difficult to squeeze?
