  Searching for DAC/amp combo and find that the strategy of iFi really confuse me.They release a lot of product in similar price range,like:

    NEO iDSD/Micro iDSD signature/xDSD Gryphon/iDSD Diablo
    And they're in similar price range,if I'm a newbie who want to purchase any item from them,I'll be confused.

    They all have different purposes, though. Neo for the desk, iDSD signature for moderately inefficient cans, gryphon for efficient cans/IEMs, Diablo for inefficient planars.

    Wonder if I should build a speaker system or upgrade my headphone system.Maybe new USB DAC/amp and new headphone?

  Considering to get a set of IFI micro iDSD signature,hipdac cant do HD6XX justice.

    Not really an iFi fan though,just because their machine has small footprint which suits my listening circumstance.I think machine like RME Adi2 is OK,but havent listen.

  The result is out:No hearing loss with my ears... So I should go to Division of Neurology for further examination.

    Also when you need your silence, take a break. There are days that I avoid noise and music. After such a break gently listen again.

    Compared to what?

    Compare to geekout V2(single-end)
    I know Marvey recommend using Geekout V2 with HD650 under balance cable,but local headphone doesnt have any 3.5trrs to 4 pin xlr cable,so cant compared under balanced circumstances...

    Actually I've been in this hobby for quite a period,I never buy a pair of Sennheiser.(My friend lend me a pair of Hd600,but I just return it to him)I think HD650 is a good starting line for me.

    good movie?

    Yes,highly recommend.
    Japan drama version is worthy to try,although these two slightly diffirent in episode arrangement.
    And the main theme of movie version("瞳をとじて"singed by 平井堅)is truly a masterpiece,at least for me.
