    Hifiman Edition XS Launched

    The 80ohms have a slightly bloated bass compared to 250ohm. So the edition xs have even more bass than edition x, correct?

    Hifiman Edition XS Launched

    Thanks, these are very enjoyable tracks and a good gauge of sub bass performance. I have a mini dsp calibrated 3 sub home theater system with Polk S60 towers and they reproduce these frequencies with authority, so I know what these tracks are supposed to sound like. With my dt 770 250ohm the sub...

    Beyerdynamic TYGR 300R

    I bought into the youtuber hype on this and I have been severely underwhelmed for the following reasons: 1. Clamp force is way too light and the headphone doesnt feel secure on the head and also makes my ears touch the driver and it gets uncomfortable on bass notes. 2. There is something wierd...

    XDuoo XD-05 Portable Dac/Amp Introduction - Impressions

    Hi Thanks for the reply. I have it connected to line out. I have the xduoo xd-05 original, which is now the basic one. I mean with the xduoo, anything past 3 o clock the music just turns to noise on my dt 770 ohms. With the topping L50 I can push it to max no distortion, I guess i was...

    XDuoo XD-05 Portable Dac/Amp Introduction - Impressions

    Hi thanks. i just bought a topping l50 amp, which on paper has way more power. However, with my Dt770 250 ohm, I am able to get more volume (albeit with more distortion) out of the xduoo xd diretcly compared to plugging it into topping l50 with xduoo as dac. there is not distortion, but i was...

    Ps4: Using Fiio e17k made me realize how bad DSS is.. gosh.

    My search for an amp/dac for Ps4 gaming and movie duty just ended. Setup: Ps4 optical out>optical to coax converter>fiio e17k>Sony ma900. I have used Earforce DSS thus far and I always felt the games and movies dont really sound crisp on my MA 900s on occasions. I had always suspected ma900s...

    Got these babies. Brainwavz xl, memory foam hybrid pads. Now they had a cloth cover to go on top of drivers, when I put them on I seem to had lost a lot of volume and treble. So I decided to cut it out using a pair of scissors. Result: Comfort: Now.. at first I was like..wow theres...

    Will Creative G5 work for me.

    Thanks for the info. it does seem like overkill oince I won't be using all it's features. Now I am looking at fiio e17k along with an optical to coax convertor. No one seems to have used this with the ps4, so I guess I'll take one for the team.

    Will Creative G5 work for me.

However Creative g5 has caught my eye, it doesnt decode dolby like x7,so i dont care about that, what...
