Audeze Mobius review / impressions
Maybe I'm just not sensitive to it although if it were audible without "trying" to hear it...one would think I could hear it. I don't. I just got my pair directly from Audeze 2 days ago. Not sure. I haven't encountered any situations yet where I prefer anything other than Flat. So if that's...- ryry1

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
I just got my pair directly from Audeze 2 days ago and I can tell you without a doubt, there isn't supposed to be any kind of audible hissing. I have mine @ 85 volume normally (which is pretty damn loud) and when nothing is playing, there is absolutely no kind of audible buzz, hiss, or any...- ryry1

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
Update. Bluetooth, meh. Skip it. Stay wired. I will say, really enjoy the 3D sound. I have studio monitors on my desk and with 3D on Manual @ loud volume, I literally thought I was listening to my speakers. These are cool headphones, and they sound great. Coming from multiple pairs of...- ryry1

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
Thus far I'm liking the Mobius better sound wise than the LCD-2C Closed, the 3D is no joke and I think it sounds pretty damn good. That being said, my lesser quality recordings still sound bad, they sound LESS bad though in the sense that I can change the presets to mask some of that. For music...- ryry1

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
I went ahead and purchased a new pair from Audeze (in Carbon color) over the weekend with a discount I had to get them at $320. I recently sold my LCD-2C Closed Backs but I still have them and will be shipping them to the buyer today/tomorrow but I am going to do an A-B comparison when the new...- ryry1

New Headphone Advice (Metal, EDM, Gaming) $800 budget
No - originally I thought I needed to because of my son (he's 6 months old at this point) - turns out, he can freakin sleep through anything. Source: I built an HT system and he can sleep through me watching movies at moderate volume. Headphones will not be an issue. I've just generally seen...- ryry1

New Headphone Advice (Metal, EDM, Gaming) $800 budget
Looking for recommendations for a new set of cans. For the last few months I've been using a pair of LCD-2 Closed Backs, and while I thoroughly enjoy for them for gaming and EDM, they have really disappointed me when it comes to guitar tracks - and I'm a huge metal head so this is really...- ryry1

Definitely want to hear about a TH900 comparison as I'm currently trying to make a decision between giving these a go or just going with a used pair of TH900's and calling it a day/month/year.- ryry1

Adding Subwoofer to PC set up with external DAC
Wanted to ask before I start playing around myself - I currently have a PC setup consisting of 2 active monitors that are RCA’d into my Schiit DAC/ amp combo that are connected to my PC via optical to my Soundblaster Titanium. A friend just gave me (for free) his Edifier S730’s. Since my studio...- ryry1

Denon AH-7200
Same. Hoping that price changes for US/UK release when it gets closer. That is, unless it turns out they are the next best thing on the market. I was hoping for $699-$799 range.- ryry1

I got my Bifrost today....replaced the Creative card (still have it installed but bypassing the DAC and going over Toslink). I gotta say, I'm ******* impressed. I thought I was just going to get a little better sound than the X-Fi Titanium, but over Toslink it's night and day. Worth every...- ryry1

Gotcha. Well, my Bifrost will be in later this week and I have about 3 weeks to make a decision so I'll be doing a lot of comparisons I guess. I'd be happy if I ended up saving myself the extra $10 a month for the Tidal Hifi service. I've been active in the Spotify forum community towards...- ryry1

So are you just using the Schiit ASIO driver off their site and running ASIO via that in the Fidelify client? I installed Fidelify today and I am still using JRiver until I get my Bifrost later this week, but I can definitely tell a difference between regular Spotify and Fidelify with ASIO...- ryry1

Why doesn't anybody like the Denon AH-D600
Turns out its my source. I built a new PC, used my previous Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium HD, it's just really noisy with the new components. Got an external DAC on the way to see if it clears it up.- ryry1

Denon AH-7200
I like my D600's but I definitely agree on the headband. I have a big head and I feel like I'm swimming in them at the "smallest" setting. I had D2000's that just got really old and beat up prior to getting the D600's, but I really don't have many complaints about the sound signature of the...- ryry1

Interesting. I plan on testing them again when my Bifrost comes in, but I would be extremely surprised. That being said, it would be a nice surprise because it would save me $9.99 a month from the jump up to Tidal HIFI, $19.99 is pretty steep for a streaming audio service. PS - are you...- ryry1

Hm, I'm really surprised, and I have to disagree personally. I think even the Tidal 320 AAC is better than Spotify Premium, and the Tidal HIFI Lossless is noticeable. Even my girlfriend who knows jack **** about anything audio could tell a slight difference between the two when I played them...- ryry1

To those running a Bifrost, I'm currently using Tidal Premium with JRiver in the background using ASIO via the Sound Blaster card. Once my Bifrost arrives, is it recommended to get the ASIO drivers off the Schiit website or use WASAPI or DirectSound or what are people mostly using? I prefer...- ryry1

Very cool, I'll give Toslink a shot. Honestly it's funny because I have been out of the headphone game for a while, living at home and using my Adam A7X studio monitors for music 100% of the time, and I didn't really care about quality headphone components as much (as headphones were used...- ryry1

Interesting, I imagine that the X-Fi Titanium does as well, I'll look into that -- in fact, I may leave the card in at first to test Toslink versus the Bifrosts USB connection and see if I can tell any difference in sound quality and noise. Perhaps going over Toslink and bypassing the...- ryry1

So I checked with Schiit and they had some of the 4490 Bifrosts in stock in black, so I went ahead and placed the order. I decided against the multibit for now, I think the regular Bifrost will be a worthy successor to my sound card. Freeing up room in my PC case is the icing on the cake...- ryry1

So I have an update with my issue. This morning I woke up and I unplugged the RCA from the source and turned the Asgard gain up. There is still an audible buzzing with the RCA plugged into the Asgard, despite not being plugged into my source. I can hear feedback get louder when I place my...- ryry1
