No, absolutely not. For me the SM3 sound the same straight out of any quality player as they do with a decent amp.
I just listened to Keiko Matsui's "When She Prays to the Wind" with my Ortofon e-Q5 and I must say that the SM3 sounded significantly better with this song. Very much technically superior - smoother, richer, more detailed, more 3D, more involving. The e-Q5 sounds a bit simplistic and boxy by comparison. (sigh) Makes me miss my SM3 now.
i know .. i realy like the "mild shore" but still .. any1 here tried the sm3 with an amp and experienced a better and enjoyable sound quality?
Hi everyone, Well I got the ibasso t3d now and I also bought the sm3 which should arrive in a few days. Joe, you really got me interested in the 601. I think i did read a while back on the site that it has more bass then its bigger brothers so it might be the best choice for me. So far (i have not been able to connect it to my dacmagic yet) i am a bit disappointed with the t3d ibasso amp. It does not sound as immediate as impactful as just my iphone, it lacks a bit of bass and a bit of sharpness (trebble). Greetings, Anouk,
Wow, the high driver of my right SM2 is just dead. Listening to FR sweeps, I don't hear any sound above approx 12k with my right piece.
I don't have any warranty...... what should I do...

Hi Joe, I fed the t3d with an iphone 4 as source (via ibasso lod) i preferred just the iphone 4. I also tried it with my dacmagic at home via a mini to rca cable and was also not too impressed, I guess my standards are set too high after the d12, but i just would have needed it at home where I already have a dac (the dacmagic). I am now thinking of buying the stepdance for home use or a dedicated home amp around the seem price, although I dont think that can be had. Greetings, Anouk,
