Is this the same Mr. Walkman from the cassette forums?
I don’t know, as I’m not familiar with the cassette forums.

Mr. Walkman is a firmware modding expert who has published incredibly sophisticated and effective firmware options for Sony Walkman DAPs.

If you own a compatible Sony DAP, I highly recommend checking out his work.

At @buke9 's recommendation (thanks buddy!), I orderd ZMF Hifiman+ Hybrid pads for my HE6.

What an improvement!

Hello bass.. 👍 + plush and comfortable 😁

Highly recommended

I hate you guys 🤣

Stepped back into headphones and bought a WA33. Time to figure out the hp to go with it...

Damn like 30 pages in a day that's crazy O.o

Currently living my best life after Munich high end.
Back at home I can now test my Envy 25th Anniversary Edition with both Elrog ER300B and WE300B tubes, as well as compare my Spirit Torino Pulsar with another very kind head-fiers Spirit Torino Valkyria.

Absolute Bliss at the moment

Oh I wonder if the ZMF Arya pads would have a similar effect.

Welcome 😊

Congrats on that amp!! Would love your impressions of it. The one thing at CanJam NYC I don’t get to demo..

Oh I wonder if the ZMF Arya pads would have a similar effect.

They wouldn’t exactly as the HE6 are circular pads and the Arya are oval.. but ZMF has these pads in both shape (pull down menu under the Huffman+ Sub pads will allow choosing circular vs. oval version and lamb vs. hybrid).

So you’ll have to let us know how the oval version does 😊🙏

this is the link: https://shop.zmfheadphones.com/collections/pads/products/zmf-hifiman-subs

note pulldown menu to choose the HE500 one (same as HE6). I recall @zach915m had a video somewhere on the difference between the two materials (lamb vs hyrbid) and believe the hyrbid has a bit more bass elevation, at least on the HE6. perhaps he can advice which one is best for HE500 depending on what you're looking for

Welcome to woo 33 club. The answer any headphone you want. I’m using hd800S it scales so well, it c-ck blocked any other hp. I’d consider susvara as an alternative. Have fun

Ha-you should see the page count of the IEM Watercooler thread that inspired this spinoff. I imagine a centralized and accessible thread like this will inspire several others similarly to @bigbeans to deep-dive into the desktop rabbithole:beerchug:
