I am considering buying the latest iMac with the M3 chip. However, I am concerned about the audio dropout issues that apparently plagued the macs with the M1 and M2 chips. I haven't found any consensus online what is causing these issues, some think it is related to the chips used, other think...

Hi, Would this be a good solution for (arguably only marginally :)) better sound? Anyone has/had experience with USB to Optical connection? Or with this Chinese brand? In my experience connections via coaxial sound just a tab better than via USB. I have never tried optical though, but the...

I never owned a portable device (apart from a Sony Walkman in the 80's) because I never felt the use of it. Just out of curiosity, not expecting much, I plugged my Sony MDR-Z7 in my newly bought Lumia 640 and started listening to Youtube videos and Spotify. "Pretty good sound", I was...

So, I have said it. Who agrees? Nowadays you can get yourself a pair of headphones for very cheap.  For 150-200 US Dollar, think of Audio Technica A900X, AKG K550, Sony MA900 you can get a pair which sounds very very good and it would cost you at least 15 times the budget when you want this...

Hi,   Yesterday I added a new item, Superlux HD669 headphones under the main category 'Headphones', but with adding this item in the main category and not in the sub-category Over-Ear I am not able to make a tag with this item. When adding a tag you are forced to select a sub-category, you...

Not sure if I should start a new thread about these headphones, but I didn't want to hijack other Superlux threads.   I just received my Superlux HD669s. First impressions: for 30 EURO headphones they are really very good. The sound is open, clear and with decent instrumental timbre and...

*delete thread* Nothing worse than an unanswered post and thread :-)

Lately I have been listening a lot to Spotify and I must say the sound qualilty of the streaming files (320kb/ps) is mostly excellent and this brings me to this odd discovery: most of the times the music streamed by Spotify sounds superior, fuller and lusher than the same music played in iTunes...

I have answered my question myself.

I recently have bought a pair of Denon D5000's and I am considering a headphones amp. Not sure what to expect from a headphones amp, I once did a comparison between a headphones out of a (similar Marantz as mine) stereo amp and a Creek OBH11 headphones amp and couldn't tell much difference...

Audio Technica ATH-M40fs Bought as a side pair for my Audio Technica ATH-A500's and bought without audition them first or even reading about them. I had a quick look, saw the price and had an immediate urge of buying them. Oh yes right, my system: A Marantz PM 7200 amp Marantz CD 6000KI...

It has been almost three years ago since I visited this forum with a question concering upgrading Audio Technica ATH-A500's for some ATH-A900's or Denon AH-D2000's. I didn't upgrade, instead I bought a side pair of Audio Technica AT-M40's which I use for pop and rock (and are absolutely...

wrong forum sorry

Hi, I am considering an upgrade form my ATH A500's to the ATH A900's or Denon AH D2000. Having read everything there is to read about the A900's and D2000's I still didn't get a good idea, apart from the general opinion that the D2000's are far superior, how the overall character of those...

I have read everything there is to read about the Denon AH-D2000's and ATH A900's. Still I want to know if upgrading from the ATH A500's to the A900's would be a significant upgrade. Could the Denon AH-D2000's be overkill considering the modest source and phones-out I use? I will plug the...

Hi, I am considering getting a new pair of headphones. Currently I am using ATH A500's and am actually very fond of them. I mainly to listen to classical music on them and I really find it hard at times to imagine a better sound. But since I can get a good deal on both the ATH A900's and...

I am just curious. Which headphones, preferably closed back, will give me a similar soundstage as speakers do? Every single headphones I listened to, Sennheiser HD595, Audio Technica ATH A500 and A700, Beyerdynamic DT660, do have a solid soundstage and with 'simple' material like for...
