Thats not tech....

In the intro, whilst listing things, it says 'cats' 

If you can stretch the budget grab this http://www.amazon.com/G750JZ-DS71-17-3-inch-Gaming-GeForce-Graphics/dp/B00IAACWH6. It will perform about the same as an 4770 and a 4GB GTX 680 and will stomp evrything else you have listed.
 
EDIT: It is nowhere NEAR as portable as the others, just be aware of that. 

IE80's

I use whatever the song downloaded as, because audio "Lossless" is total bullshit and I could care less. Also, I hear no difference from FLAC to WAV to MP3 with my DT990's. 

NO. LTT is love, LTT is life.

I'm sure most of you are already familiar with this one, use EQ to invert the Frequency Response Graph. Head-fi have an old thread discussing this. Anyway, here goes.
 

 
So this is a Frequency Response Graph, more precisely, this is the Frequency Response Graph for the Hifiman HE-400. What this is saying roughly, is when this particular headphone is given a flat tone (same volumes/loudness across the frequencies), it will distort that flat tone and give output mapped in the graph. This give us a general idea of the sound characteristic of that particular headphone. For example, from the graph above, the HE-400 is fairly flat on the lows and lower mid. Quite a big drop on the higher mid, and a spike on the high. I'd say, the HE-400 is generally a warm sounding headphone, with good (but not full) highs. This gives us the idea of the sound characteristic, NOT quality of the sound itself, though.
 
This graph was generated by Headroom, based on their tests. This is not the raw testing data, though. I think this is the adjusted graph.
 
 
 
You can try and find the graph of your headphone (if they're listed), here
 
Of course most good headphones are the result of months, if not years, of intensive researches, to get the best sound results. Meaning they are already factory tuned to give optimum sound output. Although I love the sound characteristic of the HE-400 as it is, I wanted to try something different. Even if you love burgers, sometimes you'd want to go for hot dogs, right?
 
So I got curious, and tried to fiddle with Foobar's EQ, based on the graph. I set my EQ to try to invert the graph above:
 

 
Of course it's just a rough invertion of the graph. The result is pleasantly surprising. I got fuller mids out of my HE-400. I can hear more details from the music. Of course the details were originally there this whole time, but due to it's frequency drop, it didn't really pop out. So this is something you might wanna try, if only just for variations/fun. 
 
Just remember, don't go crazy with adding the gain on the EQ bands, though. Your driver might be hardware limited to play certain frequencies at certain loudness. For example, in the graph above, the deepest valley is -15dB. To properly invert it, I'd have to add +15dB (maybe a bit less), right? Well, when I push the middle bands pass the +8dB mark, I got clippings. Clippings sound like 'click-click', or small pops. I think this is because the driver is just not designed to output that certain frequencies at that certain loudness. Clippings could potentially damage your driver, if played on a long run, so be careful there.
 
Once again, this is not about 'make your headphone performs better'. If anything, it might even performs worse. This is just something to do for fun, for trying a different 'taste' out of your headphone.

WHY WOULD I EVER BE AWAY FROM LTT?

WHY WOULD I EVER BE AWAY FROM LTT?

Yes

I can't imagine it was linus. I don't think he does the editing for those. Whoever did it is a hero though.
 
Then again Fast As Possible can be shortened to FAP. Sooo....

NO. LTT is love, LTT is life.

Thats absurd for the price... Affordable tech... Alas...

linuscartips?

I think he should get marked as best answer.
 
That is really good for $1000.

That would work on most medium settings. I would go with a WF3 and a better CPU though.
