I don’t use streaming services lol, so I can’t give you a good answer. If I did decide to use one it would either be qobuz or amazon hd, not the biggest fan of tidal mqa

I heard here in the forums that Amazon HD sounds better, or at least has a ton of stuff, including a ton of less-known stuff (K-pop etc)… and Qobuz is like 24/192 but with way, way less choice.

Guys I need your opinion, I am not buying this anytime soon but I am choosing between the Beyerdynamic DT 880 or the Philips SHP 9500. I don’t mind not being able to buy either of them anytime soon but I just want to know which one would be a better option for me all-around wise, thank you and I appreciate the opinions you guys have.
The Beyer for sure imo (no contest in my mind). What ohm are you thinking?
I did a review comparison here. i felt Qobuz had the best sound:

I don’t think she got them from Amazon but they do similar 
I don’t, but there’s a small computer repair shop near my grandparents that may have an extra laying around or may sell some, or I could see about snagging an extra at work… If we can spare one, that is.
After a long thought and because of my very good experience with my CA Andromeda, I pulled the trigger for this pearls today before they are also sold out here in Germany.
I listende to them as a trial in October and was completely thrilled, now its time that I could not resist 
Ultimately I owe this Andromeda’s my metamorphosis from a headphone enthusiast to an in-ear freak.
At that time I was thinking about a good pair of closed back headphones and with a direct hearing comparison I immediately decided for the andromeda’s without hesitation.
The choices were the Focal Stellia, the Sennheiser HD820, the MrSpeakers CX, the Denon AH-D9200 and the ZMF Verite´ Closed.
And the winner was … an in-ear 
Maybe because it doesn’t destroy the hairstyle

the 250Ohms one, since I have heard those are better than the 32Ohms. Also my current AMP can only drive with those Ohms like that, not sure about the higher Ohm version.
Yeah, I would stick to 250 ohm just to be safe

Either way is probably fine. That card gets packed in foam by the manufacturer and then FedEx throws is up against a wall several times before it gets to most consumers.
F… me
The Phonitor xe is #1 on my amp list, so I find this a very good choice!
I have realized, I don’t need the rnhp and might as welll go directly for the good stuff. What colour did you get?
I got the red one headphones.com had listed they were selling off, which was apparently one of their demo/review units.
And yeah… $1099 flat and I’m still well within the return policy of the RNHP… so I figure I could have something a bit higher-end that could potentially drive most future headphone purchases and sound great.
