    HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread

    Nah! I'm considering selling a kidney to get the Unobtanium 1000SE Am which can reproduce bass so low it can induce earthquakes, +-0.0000001 db from 1-1,000,000 Hz

    HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread

    Unfortunately for me-but fortunately for the freq resp of the AryaSE my hearing drops after 2K-if I overlay my hearing plot with ARYA SE-its not too bad. So to my bad ears its great without EQ.

    HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread

    I love mine too. I;m curious about the Dolby Atmos on XBox Series X! Currently I;m using a Steel Series Headphone connected via optical cable from my TV to either the Headphone Amp-Steel Series. I tried the optical to an old (15 years?) Yamaha receiver-not so good. Looking to alternatives! Arya...

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

    I like the PM3's.  I compared the Oppo HA2 portable head amp and the iFi Micro iDSD.    I have to say that for Pop music the Oppo HA2 was powerful enough-but I listen primarily to Classical-with sometimes wide dynamic range. I found that the volume set on max was not quite enough for the...

    Thanks! I did. I got the stock pads. Hifiman did not have them-but Amazon did.

    I have the same experience with the HE-560 and the IDSD Micro.

    Here is a pic. I see that you can buy earpads from HiFiMan. Unfortunately they are OUT of Focus pads. Grrrrrr!

    I still love my HE-560-but one of the earcups is coming undone. Anyone have a solution? The cover was never completely attached-and over time it is peeling off the foam. And now the foam is mostly off the ear cup. Any solutions?

    Onkyo HF Player leaves Album cover and Metadata after data deletion for Hi Res files

     Hi When I delete a file on my iPhone 5S most of the data for the DSD or FLAC is deleted-(as seen on the memory usage bar on itunes) but "ghost files" showing album art, song name and duration are left on the phone. Anyone else have this issue? When I open HF player I am faced with actual...

    Same old same old. I read your link. The other issue with the "pure" button approach-and assumptions that recordings  need ZERO EQ and that playback needs ZERO EQ because it's "perfect" is that people's hearing does degrade over time. Eventually that "perfect" recording might need a little high...

    Why high-res audio is bad for music--take 2

    Ouch! I feel your pain. There are a lot of naive "purists" out there.

    I'm currently evaluating "Tomatin" 12 year old Single Malt Scotch and it's effect on musical enjoyment. So far it's having minimal effect. I usually prefer to keep the intake to sub-hangover levels. Is that insufficient dosage to " lift the veil?"

     After running into things on other forums touting the absolute magical transformations made by things that I already knew had little if anything to do with sound (such as Power cords), I started taking ALL claims as dubious.

    Proper use if Schnapps really makes the new house wiring "open up!" Even my refrigerator sounds better. I find pre treating the bottle with Quantum Chips or Brilliant Pebbles really helps speed up the effect of house wiring "burn in.". Just make sure your AC only flows ONE WAY (chuckle).

    Yes! This is correct! Yes, you can really get lost in it. Sometime after your 4th the music can make you giggle.   Every now and again I try Scotch-usually after hearing how much better it makes the music sound. I've tried it a few times-after 3 shots I found the music really opening up and...

    Rubbish! It's only at 14h 22 that it really opens up! Unless it's a really HOT day-then you MIGHT get away with 13hr37min,

    That's easy! Does your "music sound faster?" Is "euphoria added?" Just resist the temptation to plug the power cable directly into your ears. As much as I appreciate simplifying the signal path I suspect the usual route via the power supply and conversion to DC before power your audio equipment...

    Cable acting as a power line conditioner? That's amazing. Too good to be true. Isn't there a saying about that?
