Gee this thread is moving at record speed and never seen anything exploding like this at head-fi.
Steve now you need to show a video dropping your iMod 3 times from ceiling and let me see what's inside that damn thing.
LOL give it a week D...if they don't fix the firmware...
Naa...not unless they make a Yo Tank for this baby!
Lets see, the sonic differences between a C3 and this 50...or..."fitty" as the guys on my crew are calling it LOL.
Both are bright sounding to my ears however I find the detail on the 50 to be better. For this comparison I call upon classical music. I find that the separation of instruments in pieces like:
Betethoven, Symphony #6 in F (Shepherd's Hymn)
Elgar's, Cello Concerto in E Minor - Adagio
and Mozart's Symphony #40 in G Minor - Molto Allegro
My ears hear an absolute increase in depth and spaciousness as well.
Next I compared Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (DSOTM), Judas Priest's British Steel, and the Who's Quadrophenia,..all 3 sounded more precise than the C3. Granted, not as good as on the DX100 or the RWAK100, but for gods sake, this thing cost a third of the price.
I love the C3, but to me...it's a way better unit hands down...
From a musicality and a technological standpoint...the "FITTY" wins.
Steve from NYC
Yeah, my iModded 5.5.
iMod wins for ease of use...lol but that's it.
Cool. Thanks for clarifying . The headphones/IEMs you use as well can play a big part in all of this. The more resolving they are the more revealing of the source they naturally will be.
I don't find them bright at all. Sounds quite linear in my ears but it seems like I want a bit more sparkle.
Soundstage depth is stellar and vocals reproduction is excellent.
Reverse channel issue was fixed by restarting the dap.
I'm using my Grado v4 Magnum Woodies, Heir 4Ai's, UE900's, and Senn HD 650's...literally going back and forth
