Hello. Sorry for the goofy first-timer post.
Along with my recent equipment purchases, I've been experiencing something I need help sorting out. After interwebbing, I think listener fatigue is probably the closest topic to what I'm experiencing, but basically it's a headache/irritation that really limits my listening time (eventually I want to take a break after 30/45 or so minutes).
A little background - while I've avoided streaming and sourced all my music from FLAC for years, I recently took my equipment purchases more seriously and after much research got an AK Jr, Cayin C5 paired with OPPO PM-3's. I don't always use the Cayin, but it seems to have little effect on the "fatigue". I also do not listen on high volume.
So, what are some things I can do to try and figure out the cause? I don't get the same results when the headphones are not involved - like listening to the same portable setup in the car or thru a portable speaker. I really enjoy the PM-3's, but I wonder if they're not the right headphones for me?
Hope this is not too ambiguous or subjective. Thanks!
