I think the best way to avoid GAS is to get disappointed in audiophilia after realising the most improvements audiophiles hear between DACs and amps are a placebo. Also, that once you get a good headphone that does not distort, you can achieve any type of sound signature you want and imitate the...

Great to hear people being rational and not chasing the phantom hi-res gains saving money in process. Can always appreciate down to earth people in this forum. I’m very fortunate to not being able to tell any difference between wired and wireless sound quality. Perhaps, I’m just being...

I’m a filthy casual. I enjoy Apple Music AAC files through my Bluetooth amp and I cannot tell difference between this and FLAC. Let alone DSD.

Here’s my V-shape EQ. I listen to punk/ska and this works for me as I can hear cymbals, guitars and bass lines very well.

Yeah, already figured that to hear soundstage you need actual space. However, for now, listened to John Culshaw's recordings on my headphones only as I don't have any speakers in possession

Thank you for sharing the recording. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't sound any different soundstagewise compared to other music I've tried. So no perception space for me. Thank you. John Culshaw's work also doesn't do it for me. I guess I can finally close this topic for myself.

Just like e10k and k3, it’s transparent

Wow, 5-6 feet! That’s pretty wide for 2 speakers attached to a head! But in my research about soundstage, I came across a post on reddit where people recommended certain songs to test soundstage. There was a large variety of songs on offer by Radio Head, Jimmy Hendrix, Michael Jackson and many...

My HD58x sound very "unexciting" compared to my favorite headphone DT990. Now, after experimenting a bit with EQ and looking at frequency response graphs on RTINGS, I concluded that the "unexciting" sound to me is the region past 10Khz, which is noticeably recessed compare to DT990. If i raise...

Just turn off ANC.

Because of previous mentions of inferior SQ with EQ, I really tried to nit-pick but couldn't hear any difference. Even if there is, I'm very fortunate to not hear it, ahah. I'm on iOS (iPhone 6s) and my device arrived with 1.06 pre-installed.

So got my device today. As I've been having some questions and no one replied, I'm going to go ahead and answer them myself. The questions were regarding the EQ and its implementation in terms of quality as some mentioned that it cause audio quality loss. First of all, it does lower the...

Could someone please test the below? Is degradation in volume as well as sound quality significant when applying EQ? Planning to use my DT770s with the device

Updating now. Anyone noticing any improvement in phone call quality?
