Don't know if anyone else will feel the same, I've found I needed to add an external amp to the x5 to get bass response where I wanted it. I usually swap between zero low end gain and level 1 (fiio e11) with most headphones. The titans really don't have the low end I was looking for without...

Detail was surprising. With some songs it cleared up the base/midst a lot and I've found a few where I didn't like it. Those songs, imo, we're mastered wrong or had the wrong thing done with the music.

They're still available from penonaudio.

They're here... giggity. Whomever it was that recommended these (wanted something spacial) was spot on. They're spacey alright. Bit bright right now, but this is the first 20 minutes listening. Bass I don't see as an issue. There is a slight v, but I would say that is contributing some to the...

Love the math! Makes sense, though I still can't point it out myself, cool to see what actually is going on.

Can a digital format even produce that? Crazy small measurement that is.

Kinda what I thought. I will fully admit I can't really tell you the difference between flac 16/44 and anything better, I always chalk it up to better mastering.

Quantization and jitter.. makes a lot more sense now (followed that link, explained jitter perfectly)   Now trying to understand the jitter. I would think at 44k, that would allow up to 22k jitter, 0.0022s (been a long time since I've done math). Supposedly we can hear 200ps of jitter? I can't...

Really sorry if this has been covered, but I have two questions.    If I understand correctly, the bit size (16/24) is relative to the db range the music has. Would it not be possible that 24bit can fit into the same db range but perhaps with more accuracy? Certainly, we don't want music...

Have some myself (blasted motorcycles) but never notice it's there unless I think about it. It is high pitched/white noise like. Sort of on the loud side actually, I'm surprised it doesn't bother me.

Neon Trees - Moving in the Dark Love the whole album.

Hoping someone may have an answer for me.   Borrowing a set of LCD-XCs and the previous owner had noted that they don't seal well. Upon looking closer, one of the brackets was loose (shown in picture above my post) I tightened it down a bit, fixed the ill-fitting issue. Of course I don't want...

Curious, would there perhaps be an effect from dehydration? 

Well, there goes that idea, unless I take a trip across the pond at some point.

Where about do you do the sound for these shows? If you were able to point me to one you were doing that would be within that 105db range, I would attend.
