SSDs x2 or Headphones Amplifier and Headphones

booboo.

I would get both

But if you insist then I am tipping towards the H+A

But knowing you already have a HD 558, I think its time for SSD :))

Your comment didnt help, but only made it worse

T

Get SSD

haha ok. Get SSD. Short and sweet. You aural experience is already quite good/

Without any second thought, SSD.

Voted for SSDs.

Lol my headphones are not portable, and m iPod has difficulty driving my phones

As long as you are not outlining the necessity/urgency of purchase required, I guess most people will vote for SSD.

nothing is urgent lol.

Then get both.

I dont have enough money for both

Then get your priority right. From what you have said, it looks like Headphones+Amp is the priority right now, SSDs can wait.

had this not happened I would have.

Thanks for the link. Is this true? Some benchmarks would have been helpful.

I trust that guy. he's a good friend o' mine.

he has posted a screenie later in the thread. his SSDs are choked by SATA II even.

hmmm... suddenly I am also feeling an urge to get a pair of 40/60 gigs.

see what I mean?

Get the headphone, how about the HD595? The prices of SSD will fall down eventually.

He already has a HD558. BTW why another pair of cans?

The pro700mk2 is the most bassy headphones in the planet.

The 595s are ancient and have a poor soundstage.

I do not know how this poll is going to help. Its a question based on your personal preference/ interest. I will say SSD x2 because I wouldn't need the other stuff. Depends on your needs and preference. How hard can it be to prioritise your upgrade requirements?

Why not get an amp and a SSD. Wait till you get bored of the 558 and then get the proxxx

Voted for SSD. I really think 1 SSD should be enough :wink:

No. 1 SSD is not enough. Its double or nothing. Look at the link I posted.

The problem is that I have no priorities at the moment. If I spend on one thing, I wont be able to spend on the other for at LONG time!

Looks like SSD wins.

looks like SSD wins.

Repeating: go with the SSDs. And do post the results of your "experiment" with benchmarks are all. Really keen to know more about it.

Okies with SSD. Can you link me the headphones meanwhile @sale

Sarath, here you go:

Amazon.com: Audio-Technica ATH-PRO700MK2 Professional DJ Monitor Headphones: Electronics

Can anyone tell me a good SATA III RAID card that wont bottleneck two SSDs?

I ordered two of these: Amazon.com: OCZ 120 GB Vertex 3 SATA III 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive MAX IOPS 6.0 Gb-s VTX3MI-25SAT3-120G: Electronics

Pre Order ZO2 and a good Headphone (ATH-M50)/IEM(RE262 or Brainwavz B2)
digiZoid | ZO 2 personal hi-fi experience | Pre-orders

Faun, too late.

Congrats. Decision taken pretty quickly.

lol it was a long period of agony!!!!

~~So, it won't.~~
There you go: Vantec 4+1 SATA II 300 and PATA PCI-E Combo Host Card with RAID
Or,
Syba Combo SATA III (6.0Gbps) + IDE Ports (2+1) PCI-Express RAID 0, 1 Card

This one was posted somewhere: SuperMicro AOC-USAS2-L8i

You ordered them from amazon. One question: generally how many days it takes for being shipped to India?

what do you mean by it wont?

at amazon, 5 days for priority shipping, which i use with expensive orders. and upto 15 days on expedited shipping.

Sorry, edited my post. And thanks for the info on amazon.

Those cards are worse than SATA 3.

PCIE 2.0 manages 2.5Gb/s=312.5MB/s on a single lane.

I need PCIEx4 2.0 minimum

How much for the supermicro?

How much for the supermicro?

Don't have any idea. Saw that in tom's hardware, looked good, so posted it here..
