After seeing the $185.00 price for the Sony MDX-D3, I went to read some

The reviews were fine. Some poor schmuck paid $400.00 for a unit whose

It was the second review where something struck me. The reviewer stated

close to the Koss

Several points: I own a set of 888s. I also own a set of the previous

Where did you buy it? Is there a description of it on the net? Fifty dollars
What should i get for best quality? The Xitel MDport-DG1 or SoundBlaster

I'm going to use my Sony MZR-35 now and a Denon DMD-800 in a month or so.
Which one should i buy?
