Denon AH-D7000 Headphones and Headroom Ultra Desktop Headphone Amplifier

Conclusions

Listening to headphones is a different experience that listening to loudspeakers, for sure. If you are looking for the best possible sound quality (i.e. frequency response, clarity, tonal accuracy, retrieval of detail, imaging, soundstaging, etc), at the lowest possible cost, headphones are unbeatable. The Denon AH-D7000s, when powered by the HeadRoom Ultra Desktop amplifier and DAC, offer world beating performance at something like 1/10 or 1/20 the price of admission for an equivalent loudspeaker based system. I covet the AH-D7000s and the HeadRoom Ultra Desktop amp. They make working at my desk a much more pleasant and relaxing experience. I will not be letting them leave.
