Dan Clark Audio EXPANSE Review: Interview, Measurements, Impressions
When you say vertical, do you mean that the sound of objects sound as tall as they should, or that things occupy an expected vertical position in space?- bearcatsandor

I'm jealous. It's a 1960 mile round trip for me. The only dealer in Montana doesn't have them.- bearcatsandor

What difference does it make? If it tilts to the right, tilt your head to the left. Problem solved!- bearcatsandor

Dan Clark Audio EXPANSE Review: Interview, Measurements, Impressions
Thanks folks! I mean I'd rather not spend 8k on headphones if it wouldn't make that much difference. I'll be working with immersive audio, so I was wondering if the expanded staging of the Expanse would be beneficial. However, I'll be using custom HRTF files so the difference may be moot.- bearcatsandor

Dan Clark Audio EXPANSE Review: Interview, Measurements, Impressions
I'll be using the Stealth and/or Expanse for audio work. Obviously I'll need the Stealth for recording with mics. Is there enough of a difference that having the Stealth for recording and the Expanse for mixing and mastering would effect my results? Would just a Stealth be enough? If I only...- bearcatsandor

Dan Clark Audio (DCA) STEALTH and EXPANSE Impressions Thread
I'm about 98% sure that this is an ignorant question, but given that I'm going to be using stealth headphones both for my personal listening and in a studio environment, I assumed that I should not use an Expanse while recording. There is enough bleed from the headphones to be picked up by a...- bearcatsandor

Topping D90se - Can I drive headphones directly with it
Eventually I'm looking to have a Topping D90se + A90 direct + DCA Stealth set up. I can't afford all 3 at once, so I'm getting them piece by piece. If I start with the D90se so that I can finally play some of the DSD files that I have, can I hook that up to my Sony MDR 7506 headphones with...- bearcatsandor

4.4 vs xlr preference
Folks, I'm [hopefully] soon going to pull the trigger on a D90se + A90 descrete + DCA Stealth set up. I can get the amp end of the headphone terminated in a 4.4 or XLR end. They're both balanced and will both sound the same, and I'm not asking about that. I'm going to be using them in a...- bearcatsandor

Dan Clark Audio Stealth Review, Interview, Measurements
The description of the Cayin IHA-6 on headphones.com states that its "Solid chassis with aluminum alloy and sand blast finishing, can eliminate exterior interference effectively." I'm guessing that the texturing of the sand blasting pushes those audiable magnetic fields past the amp. *nods sagely*- bearcatsandor
