I realize this post is old, but I am going to add my two cents for those that are lurking or searching and come across this thread, like I did. The Audioengine A2+ are extremely WELL engineered speakers for their size. The problem is the manufacturer only provides you with a "get the job done"...

I understand that, to a degree.  Obviously, if you cover the driver with any material the sound waves have to penetrate it or disperse when it hits it. I suppose I should narrow my question to, how to do you pick such a small frequency range of 3Kh and roll just that off. If you have damping...

I am personally having a hard time with comparisons of what the NH's can and cannot do. I am slowly discovering that it has more to do with what equipment you have it attached to rather than the cans themselves. However, I will admit that I do not have any experience with other audiophile...

Interesting.I also use the Jitterbug. The only thing I hadn't tried was taking the Jitterbug out of the equation. o__O  

Actually, I can speak to this.  I use the DragonFly Red and the NH. I have not been able to confirm my theory, but here's what I have found. The DragonFly red intermittently produces rich, punchy, clean mid bass like those from kick drums and sometimes it does not. I have narrowed the scope to...

It wouldn't the reviewer on Youtube who goes by "Z" would it?

I have some tracks that have extremely low frequency melodies that I had only heard through floor standing speakers and separate subs. I was not able to hear it through headphones until I got the NHs.

I just got the Nobsound 08-SE and rolled the tubes for JAN 6688s from 1970.  It is a near ridiculous improvement over the stock tubes. Not only is the sound richer and broader, but the power output has to be near triple.  Why?  First of all, if I turn the knob ALL the way down to the end...

Well...knowing not a whole lot about tubes..I have "rolled" the tubes in the Nobsound 08-SE headphone amp. I replaced them with JAN 6688s from Sept 1970.  With only a 10 minute warm up, the soundstage is even wider and sound even richer. Also, I had to cut the volume by half what I was listening...

Should you switch?  Well that depends. From 62 to about 68 all the Beatles recordings were final engineered to be Mono. They released them in stereo, but they lose some of the fine detail information.  I mean, if you record a vocal while playing a guitar on the same track, it's not going to...

No joke!  I recently got back into Beatles when they released the 2014 direct to mono masters along side of the stereo masters which are less compressed than the 2009 masters. IN many of the stereo masters, the vocals have receded so far in the background you just have to shrug. But in the mono...

Fair enough.  I just played Swingle Singers III Minuetta Alllegretto and sense no drop in mid-Trebble. It is probably there, but I don't sense any loss in melody and this covers most of the range that exists in human voice from 500 hz to 18 khz. I wish we could share music files. :(

I never said it disappeared.  You don't need the graph.  Play any straight Sine log and listen as the volume drops around the 1k to 3k range and then the volume spikes back up. What I was suggesting is that a lot of recordings seem to have that drop. I tested those tracks outside of the NHs to...

I admit that in the beginning of using NH HPs I noticed the sharp drop in mid-treble sound.  The more I used them, the more I realized that a majority of that sound drop is in the recording itself and the HPs weren't trying to make an effort to fix that...like some headphones do when they...

My DF doesn't have analoge volume control.That is the DF Black.  Mine is the DF Red.  It has a digital volume control.

Um.  It depends on the application. When I am in the car and I connect the DAC, I crank the DAC to 100% and adjust the audio from the car stereo. When I am listening directly to the DAC, I don't go to 100% because I still want to hear music again in the future. When connected to the PC, I...

I do not have a stand alone DAC.  The Dragonfly Red is the only DAC I have and it has a built in AMP. In typical "audiophile" fashion, I sought to upgrade one part of my sound only to find that it reveals a lack in another part of the sound.  So you upgrade that and then another lack is revealed...

I would say I have 23 years experience with stereo equipment. I define the soundstage as the imaginary wall or area of sound that 'seems' to play out of thin air around the speaker, usually in the center on floor standing speakers.  the DCM Timeframe 600s were incredible at sound stage...

Someone on this site, and forgive me if I cannot remember the user, posted some powerful burn in files that are white and pink noises and 2 different types of sinelogs.  I wasn't getting any drastic results from burn in until I used those files over night.  No joke.  I even used them to burn in...

I did try going through the Dragonfly to the amp, but it sounds terrible.  Additionally, when you crank the volume on the Amp, it stops increasing the volume about 2/3s of the way in when connected using the Dragonfly.  If the AMP has a DSP, it isn't advertised or in the spec. It's freaking...

Alright, I could use some help in trying to figure out the electronics of Headphohnes. The specs AQ gives on the NHs are 25 ohm Impedance and 99 db sensitivity  powered at 1.5W.  I have been playing these on either my PC or out of the Dragonfly Red DAC/Amp. The only specs they give you on the...

Yeah, I had to do some research after xRELICx's comment.  Turns out the headphone output is measured quite differently than a receiver's output. From an electronics perspective I had thought that "volts" were stationary and never change because it essentially is what powers the device and then...

Oh sure, "better" power is better. Consider, if you will, that the DragonFly Red pushes 2.1v to the headphones.  the Jitterbug filters the 5V from USB as well.  The Noise Floor from the headphones is dead quiet and dark as midnight.  So, "better" power would be subjective. The same noise floor...

I am now at the 240 hour benchmark running these headphones through the paces I am used to and I have figured out a few things about these headphones.  I understand that they are not "neutral" in a sound profile stance.  However, they are transparent to the source. If your source is no good...
