I'm enjoying my xc 2021 without eq. Its resolution in bass range is phenomenal. Soooooo clean and clear. Only when I want some relaxed listening I cut 8 to 10khz about 3db

Yea.. I think the recording industry won't be so interested in Rob's attempts but personally as a consumer I'll be more excited for reduced ad/da conversion error and better reconstruction of analog recording as it is in CD quality than the "Hi-Res" BS. :)

Wow thanks!

Hmm.. the anti-aliasing filter for AD conversion should be an analog filter and the other is a digital filter.. Sorry guys I don't even know what I'm asking.

Hello, these days I'm really interested in Chord's technology and planning to buy a Qutest. Meanwhile, I came up with a question. Chord's proprietary digital filters and algorithms reduce errors in DA conversion and if so, AFAIK, the same can be achieved in AD conversion. Because, in theory...

My comment can be misleading though. Red==Left in Grado world!!

Yea I got the color code directly from Grado and had a professional do it. Actually it was several months ago ;)

Was ps1000 originally satin? Looks cool

This is true. Breaks the rule in Grado sorta way.. lol

I've been using 5k and T71 only for 2ch sources and T71 is a significant upgrade. :) According to Qudelix you can still benefit from all the increased price and HW resource with 2ch. 7.1 feature is just an additional feature by SW implementation. And I strongly recommend using balanced output or...

FYI. This is what's inside the RS1x's cable. Mine has a 4 pin xlr connector now.

Which one did you like?

With my setup, - Qudelix T71 bal out => Midgard bal input I have no complaints even with non-halo. I haven't compared them enough but anyways I'm gonna upgrade the dac side to Bifrost soon for optimal synergy.

Metal, wood and beer :metal:

Grado should revise those rodblocks.

Sorry too late.. my fingers already pulled the trigger

Arghhhh... I found a new set of ps2000e on sale here. I have a serious syndrome now...

Oh I don't have gs3000x yet but thank you: ) Older 325s really have their own irreplaceable character. Grados are hard to evaluate by their prices.

https://global.beyerdynamic.com/audiophile-connection-cable-3-0-m-textile.html It is written in the description from the link above. It doesn't look so 'proprietary' though. lol

By the way, T1's cable is said to have proprietary beyerdynamic locking mechanism, but the headphone side 3.5mm jacks just slide in and out. There is no locking. What's happening here?

On my T1 3rd gen, the plugs just go into the socket, no obvious click, no locking. :slight_frown: How is yours?

Sorry I haven't tried them. I heard 1990's treble is quite aggressive and that scares me. :rolling_eyes:

Wow, it helped me a lot. Thank you!! Yes, I was blindly considering 3000x as my next Grados, so hard to choose.

Can you tell us how it is different please?

The analytical pads are originally from dt1990s right?
