I blame streaming! :)

I'm not too active on this site anymore. I have a setup I'm pretty happy with, so I my days of aggressive great trying as somewhat behind me. But I know we used to have a pretty good group in the area several years ago, and it was to listen to different great. I'm curious whether there's...

I have the DT1770 and DT177x. They're very similar, and if having a balanced headphone is at all a consideration to you, the 177x is the clear choice. They are also pretty driveable out of good, portable gear -- so if that's important at all, it's an easy choice. All that being said, I...

I have a couple of Raspberry Pi streamers that I control with my phone through the network. My favorite is Max2Play because it has built in crossfeed support: https://www.max2play.com/en/

I tried these with my Hiby R5 via the single ended output. My balanced cable won't be here for a couple of weeks. In high gain mode, it was able to drive the headphones to good listening levels, and could get them louder than I'd ever need. However, I thought there was a significant downgrade...

Thanks. I'm going to try it with decent DAP (which has both a SE and balanced headphone amp built in to test it (waiting for my balanced cable for the AEONs). I've never had headphones with impedence this low, so I'm curious.

I don't think there is any correlation here.

I'm always interested to hear impressions from those who are coming from HD600/650. While there is some things I like about the Senns, I've never be able to get past what I perceive and a thickness or muffling of the sound.

Mine arrived yesterday. This is my first set of planar headphones. Most recently, I've been listing to various Beyers -- 1770, T5 (3rd), and Amirons. Out of the box, I really like them. They're very comfortable and sound great. They don't have as much oomph as the Beyers for the lower...

Editing because I'm an idiot. I see how to adjust the band now. Will post impressions later.

So, still fruit, but a different type of fruit. :)

It's been a while since I listend to a Sennheiser headphone. I've owened the HD580 and HD650, and ultimately moved on because I didn't like the sound signature. How different in the 800(S)?

I think I'm definitely a fan of angled drivers. I liked Sony's CD3000 back in the day. I have the T5s on my main set up, and I've been using the 177x/1770 on my secondary setup. Switching between them is a bit more jarring that I anticipated. I'm a big fan of 1770s, but they've been sounding...

Is there a place to get a reasonably priced balanced cable for these?

Unfortunately, I havent heard the 770s but I do love thr 1770s.

I got a pair of these this week. About a year ago, I reentered the headphone waters. I had been happiily listening to My AKG K701 and Q701 of a few years, but needed some good closed headphones. I started with the 1770, and then I picked up a pair of 17xx, and it has gone from there. I...

Mine arrived, and I had a chance to do some listening for a couple of hours. The setup I listen to most often is the D90/A90, but I got the Jotenheim 2 for my other setup, where it is replacing an old Prehead mk I (which I've had for a looong time and really liked). The Jotenheim seems like a...

I reached out to Soundingenuity.com about building a crossfeed unit. The initial response -- and the only response I've received so far -- was asking if I heard of Schiit Audio? I quickly responded saying "yes," but that I didn't see such a product on their website. I'm waiting to here back...

I recently got an A90 for my D90, and I am notcing that the A90 is picking up radio interference. I'm running balanced from the D90 and using balanced headphones. I just switched back to the Drop THX 789, and it's silent connected the same way. This is a disappointing.

It's frustrating that there are no standalone crossfeed units anymore! Back in the day, I'd be able to commission one of the DIYers here to build one. Has anyone found anything that fits the bill?

I'm hoping there is a software plugin that does crossfeed in the digital realm. While I have an old Meier amp, my newer amps dont have crossfeed. Seems like no newer amps do. https://www.picoreplayer.org/

Bumping this to see if there is a way to add crossfeed functionality to a picore setup.

You mean the A90?

I'm a little confused by this. You're disappointed that you can perceive a difference between the RCA and balanced (XLR) outputs? I would think one would be disappointed were this not the case.

I just received an A90 to pair with my D90. I had been using a THX789 with the D90, but I don't have any sense of which one I like better yet. I also have a Jot 2 on the way to take the place of my Prehead for my computer setup, for which I require preamp functionality in addition to a...
