Requesting the webm of the audiophile crying while listening to crystal clear sound.
I like my SRH840s too, but that's an accident waiting to happen.
Wouldn't that fiio thing sound like ass 'boosting' your headphones?
Anyway, my end game. I've spent stupid money on this hobby but i'm now perfectly happy with what I have. Spending any more than what I have is a fucking meme and i'm already sniffing the ring piece of meme territory.
get STAX before calling it a day
zeos pls.
Seriously i'm done and I fucking love my setup, particularly the 712's.
STAX, bro

I hope you mean that autist in CES where he listens to Orpheus and not Tyll in agony.
(don't have the webms)
meant for
youtube.com
i'm wondering if he would start crying if he were listening to a pair of headphones EQed to sound like the orpheus
Think he got it wrong m8, understandable I guess
He's clearly a faggot but that's not exactly how EQ's work m8, if that was the case then multiple headphones wouldn't even need to exist.
Made a webm.
Thanks alot!

Well played sir but don't hate me for not liking what you like.
creepy ass cracka
I am from the south, however I have never cracked a whip. You are more than welcome to come to my home and share some smokey treats and drink.
audiocucks, I dare you to do a blind test between a 200 pair of headphones like hd598 compared to hd800 with a 1000$+ amp/dac setup
pro tip: they sound the same, it's all placebo baby
since when does hd 598 rape your ears with treble?
"trebble" is just a buzzword invented by audiofools, there is no such thing as trebble, only frequencies that ur brain hears.
Superlux HD669
I need some help getting new headphones but the template was too much for me. I just want something alike the Shibuya from Philips, which I had but broke all by itself. Can you recommend me something similar?
The fuck is happening here.
Is this an "audiophile"?
>Wouldn't that fiio thing sound like ass 'boosting' your headphones?
Why would it?
>that's not exactly how EQ's work m8
Yes, but-
>if that was the case then multiple headphones wouldn't even need to exist.
That doesn't quite follow.
Overacting. He hates that headphone.
Hold on niggas, does the term 'cracka' come from 'cracking the whip'?
I'm not american but I used to listen to rap music all the time and I never made this connection. I just kind of assumed an actual cracker=white etc
That's why I call all black people Niggers.
If they are going to call white people 'crackers' because they're upset a few white people in USA were slave owners, then I too can overgeneralise.
>Is this an "audiophile"?
no, he loves tube amps and the HD 800
he also has no clue how to use an equalizer

I listen to pretty much anything from stuff from the 50's to current, mostly on the rock side
>Past headphones
Cheap-o $15 Phillips or Sony buds for more than 11 years back then I didn't mind because I didn't use them for long periods of time now I feel the difference so to say.
Thank you

I'm with you but that's not my point m8, does the term cracker/cracka exist because slave owners 'cracked' the whip.
I always knew it was their equivalent to nigger but I never actually knew what it meant.
Thanks for the suggestion I'll try anything so will look this up.

Holy kek enjoy being cucked by the Jews faggot
>does the term cracker/cracka exist because slave owners 'cracked' the whip.
Yes.
Die.
Wow that's weird, I always assumed it was because crackers were kind of white, and i'm very familiar with nigger terms from all the rap music I used to listen to. Makes more sense I guess
So are stax the definitive endgame?

Stax L700 or bust. Now fuck off you idiot and do your own research before throwing around 1,000 willy nilly.
AKG N90Q
AKG K1000 or Sennheiser Surrounders
King Sound KS-H3 no doubt!
Kennerton Vali will probably be your best option here!
Enigmacoustics Dharma D1000 by far the best you can get under 1000.
Do any of you ride bikes ? I am only interested in IEM for life. You cant wear cans and helmet.... sigh.

You fell for the meme. Most KZ headphones are bass heavy.
How hard to drive are the Beyerdynamic DT990 250 ohms?
Fucking poorfag amazon doesn't carry any variants of any Beyerdinamic less than 250 ohms
It's fucking nothing ese
Fucking nothing
Literally TVs and Barbie dolls
not very and you don't want the 32 ohm model because they're shit.
I'm guessing an iPhone won't be enough. I don't have the details for the built in DAC/AMP on my TV but I'll probably need a better one
What should I look for to properly drive them?
unless your iphone is very old it will be fine
You're not memeing me are you m8?
It's an iPhone 6
Thinking of getting the Schiit combo, is it considered neutral & accurate? I'm strongly opposed to the tube meme of making everything sound like the audio equivalent of a baby's safety blanket.
my 250ohm dt880 was fine from my iphone 5.
what makes you think they're so difficult to drive?
you're severely overestimating the difference an amp will make if it isn't complete and utter broken shit.
>Noise isolation ≠ Noise cancellation
elaborate?
he was meant to post active noise cancellation and passive noise isolation.
not in the form of the thread or really a reply at all but for those with not a shit ton of money, get the AKG K612 Pro.
For the money, (can be fount for 130-160) they are extremly balanced, detailed, and comfortable. Compared to the K7xx, i would say they have smoother and more accurate trebble, albiet without the bass boost of the K7XX. Now that I have tried both, I probably wouldn't have bought the K7XX and just stuck with the K612
>AKG
just end it now senpai
Why is zeos such a shitty reviewer
because he doesn't know what he's talking about in the slightest and people confuse his ignorance for 'honesty'
He made a video poking fun at audiophiles, hit the nail on the head.
What are you talking about? I think a lot of people enjoy my content.
90% of his reviews are sperging out on packaging, cable, etc. and little to actual sound quality which typically is limited to either "I don't like it" or "best thing evar!" Perhaps his worst "review" is the RHA MA750 which was pretty much "it's the only IEMs I have tried other than some cheap Mi IEMs I've got around here somewhere. Best IEMs evar!"

Im downloading 192/24 for the first time and a lot of tracks have a static/interference sound. Is it normal?
>believing in myers briggs personality tests
they're basically horoscopes with a vague quiz aspect, you know that right?
>Im downloading 192/24 for the first time
it's hilarious how people think this means anything
muh multibitzzz
well i could only find Sound of Silver in 192/24 and mp3.
It helps him keep his pyramidal hierarchy of needs in perspective.
have $300 aud to blow on a DAC
needs optical & usb with some way to swap them without unplugging stuff
modi 2 uber
HiFime 9018
Literally described the Modi 2U.
Oh shit. It needs "Mini Toslink Male to Toslink Male Optical Adapter Cable" though. It can't be too expensive.
does modi 2u take a regular toslink like

this?
yes
Is there any way I can make two playback devices on Windows 7 play at the same time?
should I get an he400i?
no
hd600 is better
I can get two playback programs to run at the same time on Windows 7 but only get one audio playback of the two.
Oh yes. I see what you mean. Thanks.
I own some HD 598s without a DAC or amp.
Insult me.
Possible if your software supports choosing the audio output device. For example you can set Foobar2000 to output to any chosen audio device without touching the system default. This way two devices are playing at the same time.
Thanks. I'm using foobar to play from my main dual ES9018 DAC. And mediaplayerclassic to play from my HiFime ES9018K2M DAC. To my ears they're level matched.
Is there anything wrong with my A/B test? I'm using both the amp part of my O2+ODAC and my Violectric V100.
I will use the Sescom. I received this Aliexpress switch today.
>want to lay in bed and enjoy my headphones
>too scared of falling asleep, leaning on them and snapping them
help
I changed my method of A/B. Using the O2 or Violectric V100 with 3.5mm switchbox was flawed. I can obviously hear one of the amps sound different.
Now both DACs are now connected to one amp and I don't know the difference. Both are 24bit and 192000Hz.
I wonder what's the difference if you compare a basic ODAC, Modi 2 Uber or a HiFime 9018 against a Schiit Yggdrasil. But only if you have a Sescom switch box. Anyone know?
Even on the Amazon page it says they're designed to be used with an amp system.
So anyone else got any experience with this? will an iPhone 6 be fine to drive these?
