I'm defo looking forward to @jude future measurements. :) Haha reading this made me chuckle, I may have to spend more time in the sound science threads.

No it is not the only thing it tells you. A FR chart give you a general understanding of how a set of cans perform and to people who are well versed with measurements this is useful. However by itself it does not show anything conclusive, that is why Tyll also measures 30Hz and 300Hz square...

I'm going to have to agree with this with all my might, I feel like even though this is an open forum we are not really presented a space where an individual can discuss why he/she dodged a specific pair of cans without the above response. It might be a good idea for a thread where we discuss...

your next step *if you already haven't got one sorted* would be to look into some sort desktop dac/amp combo. You would see further gains with the equipment that you already have.

^^^ This. @Martin79 your opinions, that have no explanation to them or even proof you have even heard the headphones in question, are meaningless.

You can get a focal elear for around £799 now

^^^ I'm glad your enjoying your headphones.

@Sonic Defender before this gets a bit long in the tooth I value your input about the inherent dangers of overly valuing experience and take it on board. I use a multitude of different views and reviews not only tyll's as a gauge of whether I will be interested in a headphone initially so thanks...

I don't know if you are familiar with tyll's work or goals but for a VERY long time he has been the forefront of trying to bring us consumers objective measurements to quantify our headphone purchases. Through his studies on headphones he has essentially allowed us to peek further into and...

^^^This. Especially since one of you has already been established in the objective measurements "game" for quite a while longer than the other. - alone we are smart, together we are brilliant.

from looking at Judes raw graph i've noticed what seems to be a shift in phase resulting in the peaks being at different locations, if you were to move them equally across it would result in the peaks noticed from others at 5k and 10k. Just an assumption but could coupling and canal length of...

  This please 

  i'm curious about your thoughts about the master 11 vs the master 9 sound.. has anything improved or changed in your opinion?

@Currawong what exemplary administrating done by you sir, swift investigation and firm response. What is saddening is that members of our "community" was quick to in essence side with the cable company and antagonise a member who is not fully confident in his english instead of taking a level...

all kinds of sexy 

subbed.. this looks interesting 

blinsc & simulatedrain cheers guys, i'm liking the look of that remote!

@blinsc thats good to hear i will be waiting for your input very (im)patiently    @simulatedrain  thanks for your input, very insightful and is only further making me understand that this product might be the end game dac amp for me. Can I ask you for a favour? do you mind taking a picture of...

I am definitely looking forward to hearing your opinions, will you be running balanced out of any of your 'phones?

Hey guys i'm very interested in this product, from an owners perspective how does is it fairing and what are your views on having it as the centerpiece of your audio setup? (i.e connected to cd/vinyl player, PC, DAP and outputting to headphones and active speakers) from my searching around, at...

I always thought (and also assumed that it was the general consensus) that all DAC's, once constructed properly, sound more or less the same. Doesn't an increase in price of a DAC just get you more features such as various different inputs (analog and digital and maybe even balanced), some dac...

This so much. These 3 points are arguably the most important points brought up in this whole topic. With regards to the interests of head fi and keeping the community going, the last two are realistically what should definitely be implemented here in some way or form. We as members need to also...

Hey guys is it 300mW unbalanced or balanced? And from an owners perspective how is it fairing? Cheers in advance!

@Dillan I just wanted to say thank you for making this thread, as a person that I consider to be relatively fresh to the audiophile world and I have read every single page on this thread. That alone has in my opinion safeguarded me against taking some people words as absolute and having a base...

guys especially you @Dillan when you get round to listening to the elear, please compare it with totl earphones especially the K10.. i'm so confused at this moment what to get haha in the boat for a $1000 headphone/earphone
