    Thanks, that would be great! I don't think I personally need it anymore, but I'm sure someone else will appreciate it. There are so many models these days, choosing is hard, every bit of info helps when making a choice.

    What a pity you decided not to compared them to the Hexa, which many still cite as the best buy under $100, or at least a very good choice.

    Thank you! Finally a way to switch between configs without renaming to "config.txt".

    Tracks with best soundstage/ambiance in headphones?

    What regards are there? :) I'm up for any well recorded or unusually recorded music. Yes, I've had HD800 for a while and was totally unimpressed with them (not HD800S / HD8XX - those didn't exist back then). I should hope they were driven properly: my equipment was EMU 0404 USB, O2, ODAC.

    Tracks with best soundstage/ambiance in headphones?

    Have you ever heard a track that made you think: "Wow, what is amazing soundstage!" ? Please share the tracks if you have. I've had no such experience, even with binaural recordings. I know some tracks that are better than others, but still underwhelming. I wonder if this is the best headphones...

    TOPPING DX1 is available now

    Not true. It delivers ample of thundering bass and slam if your headphones are up to the task of reproducing it in the first place. With some headphones, like my Truthear x Crinnacle Zero IEM, you get more deep bass with poor amplifiers that have increased output impedance, like built-in...

    Natural crossfeed on headphones / earphones for foobar2000 v2.1 [major update made public]

    The bass is actually untouched, that was the immediate first impression but it was wrong. Try playing pink noise or white noise with and without your convolution, watching a spectrum analyzer in your player (it's easy to see in Foobar, for example). You will see the drop in the 750 to 6000 Hz...

    Neutral EQ profile for Hifiman HE-400?

    My question is about the OG HE-400, not 400i, 400S, or 4XX. Does anyone have an EQ profile that you like and that in your opinion makes the sound more neutral? I've had HE400 since 2014 and never thought they don't sound neutral in any frequency range, there's no problem per se that I want...

    Natural crossfeed on headphones / earphones for foobar2000 v2.1 [major update made public]

    Hi Joe, First of all - great tool, thank you very much for coding it all and making it available to us for free! The effect if very real and quite convincing. However, I have a major complaint: the plugin sounds as if it's high-passed. All the bass is gone, and some of the mid-bass, too, it...

    TOPPING DX1 is available now

    Wow, I didn't think there are any of these left in the world! My first half-decent pair of phones, broken and gone a long long time ago. Apparently, they are still being manufactured, I'm genuinely shocked.

    Who plays Glenn Miller the best?

    A serious question! I always loved Glenn Miller's music and the sound of a big band. I've heard many, many recordings of the classic big band songs, various Glenn Miller tributes etc. And then I've listened to this album. Now all other renditions sound dull and boring in comparison, the...

    How To tell between a 'real' FLAC and a 'fake' FLAC?

    I think there are humans who can hear 21 kHz, but there are very, very few of them. If I was in your position, I would suspect that what I'm hearing is a harmonic (a result of non-linear distortion that any tweeter exhibits because nothing is precisely perfect).

    Is there *really* an audible difference between different DACs?

    Really wrong how / in what way? That there shouldn't be an audible difference?

    Is there *really* an audible difference between different DACs?

    Both my education and my own experiences (with music as well as with humans) 100% align with what you're saying. I'm curious, then, why do so many people claim to hear things that shouldn't be possible to hear? And I'm sure most of them are not liers, for them their experience is true. Is...
