    Tidal Lossless Streaming

    Not sure how to check. I do know that I was streaming both at their highest setting, and at least with Deadmau5's 'Alone With You' there was a real, noticeable difference in SQ and I know Spotify streams at 320 at its highest setting.

    Tidal Lossless Streaming

    Tried it on my Note 4 on the drive home. It's definitely a nice sound and I had no problems streaming through 4G LTE. I was mainly testing how well it could stream, so I wasn't paying too much attention to quality.    At home now and testing with the X3 as the DAC and Magni as an amp on the...

    Tidal Lossless Streaming

    Listening to it right now. Tried it on my laptop via X3 in DAC mode (WASAPI) and Schiit Bifrost (also in WASAPI). I gotta admit, this thing sounds badass.   Playing Deadmau5 - Random Album title and seriously bad ass detail and clarity.   A few major issues:   * No ASIO support * There...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Sound Quality

    I have a Note 4. I was playing some mp3s on it though some Sennheiser Amperiors. Sounded pretty good to me.   I then played some HDTRACKS Led Zeppelin I 96/24 through Power amp and again, it sounded great.    Amperiors are very easy to drive and although the Note 4 can play music loud...

    Measurement based equalization of HD650, HD700

    I tried out your settings for the Parametric EQ in JRiver with my own set of HD700s and HD650s. Loved both settings, and I do agree that the difference in much more pronounced in the HD700 than in the HD650.   It took a while for my ears to 'break-in' to the sound signature of the HD700, but...

    beats pro vs sennheiser momentum

    I actually found a pair of Beats Pros in a classroom yesterday. After asking around, no one claimed them, so I decided to give em a try with my setup. For the record, my niece had a pair of Beats Solos which I also had tested a while ago. I tested the Beats Pros against my Sennheiser HD700 and...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    I gotta say that after having my HD700s for a good long time, I am absolutely in love with them.   When I first got them, I thought they were a bit of a let down compared to my HD650s: the lack of bass compared to the HD650 astounded me, and I felt the detail, soundstage, imaging, etc were...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    I think its a fair request. The cans aren't cheap, and they were handled by factory technicians who I am sure are more than fully aware of how to handle the cans for any repair, so it might have been an accident, but nevertheless, the headphones shouldnt come back with any cosmetic defects that...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    Yep, got mine from RazorDog a few months ago. literally the last place I found the 700s for $650 after Sennheiser raised the price up to $850. The headphones are most def worth $600-$650.

    Would it be worth getting a Schiit Modi if I already own a FiiO X3?

    I guess I'll just let this thread die a slow and embarrassing death    Ok, how about this, short version: Is it worth getting the Schiit Modi for $99 if I already use the X3 as a DAC, and I am pairing it with the Schiit Magni, which I really love, to drive Sennheiser Amperiors and Momentums ...
