Beresford Bushmaster DAC

The other option i suppose would be to sell the grados and get something smoother ... Its a hard one when i like everything else about them ... they just dont fit a very specific purpose that just so happens to be the main thing i want to use them for

... and cheers, that would be great, nbut dont worry to much

I have loads of headphones, and some of them are only used for specific functions. Last week I even bought two more to try out on the Bushmaster. One is the Audio Technika ATH-AD700, and the other is the Panasonic RP-HTF890.
So why sell your headphone instead of getting a complementary pair?

But yes, i take your point very well...
I am in fact discussing on another forum the merits of having multiple cameras for multiple jobs and differing circumstances

Any thoughts on a pair of headphones with possibly very slightly rolled off highs, warmish middles and a nice tight bass with a gatored caiman, with tirna mods and ad826 op amp running off a 16v psu... ?
on a budget?

That sounds like somthing I could do ...
I don't suppose you have a couple of appropriate caps I could p'chase p'chance
These things don't easily come to hand in my household

Here Hamish-

The Panasonic RP-HTF890. If you shop around you can get one for less than £60.

The Bushmaster name is excellent, will do well with forum searches once google finds it.

Is this the DAC with the circuit board layout that could be described as 'minimalist' ?

Nice one Stan, I shall look into them! ... One more spec if poss ... Closed back?

You could try a pair of Superlux 668B's Hamish, they should give you what you are looking for at nearly half the cost of the Panasonics. They really are excellent 'phones and are pretty close in performance to the Grado's without the analytical top end

Ah ... Now there is an idea!
I have the 681's but find hey are a bit leaky of sound for office use ... Not as much as the grados mind...
I wonder if the 669's would be much cop?

I don't know as I've not heard a pair myself, I hear tell they are better than the 668's though
