My god man, you can't do that! First you have to go through an outboard audiopile DAC, then through levitating cables (sorry, you'll have to track the monk down yourself) into a special headphone tube amp and then use really expensive Sennheisers.


Tube amps and the higher end Senns 600 and above sound pretty darn good.

I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.
