Hi, I picked up a Topping dx3 pro about a week ago. It's very detailed but the sound is not to my taste. I purchased it based on its broad functionality, line out and headphone amp. I find the sound strident and lacking in the mids. The staging and balance is also somewhat tight. I've...

Thanks KG.  I am looking your recommendations now.  I took a closer look at the specs on the  Beyer T70P.  They're really a mess.  Lots of distortion and sibilant frequency response.  Makes me wonder what I liked about them.    I think it's the illusion of space and presence that I liked...

Quote:   "Beats" are bassy but the price is not really justifiable because all they do is just bass and sub-bass and not very musically at that.     For something with a solid low-end Sony MDR-V700s are pretty bottom heavy with ridiculous isolation (if that's a concern).  They are...

Quote: Yes, I would like something easy to drive, preferably from my Leckerton.  I consider anything under 100 Ohms and over 90 dbspl/mw easy to drive.  There may be some wiggle room in there as I have never listened to a can in the 100-299 Ohm range on my amp but it's been my experience...

Quote:   I am assuming you mean "$100-250 additional" here.  The Leckerton UHA-6S.MKii with the OPA627AP amp runs about $320.  So you're saying that spending in the $420-570 range on a portable amp can offer me a more powerful, better sounding device that can efficiently drive...

Quote: Thanks.     Quote:   I listened to a Bryston BHA-1 today.  Listening to re-terminated balanced T1s through it sounded fantastic, but listening to the same amp with unbalanced Q701s wasn't just a step down (which it should be) but was quite bad.  The BHA-1 is a decent amp...

Hi DemonFox,   Thanks for your response.  The TH600s do look interesting.  By the sound of it they are quite similar to the Beyers.  Good recommendation.  I will keep it in mind.   Best,   B

Quote: Thanks for the info.  I didn't pay anywhere near that much for the M50 (think it was somewhere around $100, about 3-4 years ago).  It's been a fun, tough and a good bombin' around set of cans but I would like to have something better.   I have listened to the 650 and it was very...

Hi everybody,   Today I was listening to a Beyer T70P through my Leckerton UHA-6S.MKii and I really liked it...but...there were a couple of things that could make it perfect.    First of all what I liked about it:   - Very comfortable.  Truly circumaural (I can fit my dumbos under...

Quote:   I would be happy to obtain and forward along the packet data from HRT but I don't think I should go bothering them for it when eXtream has yet to respond to my first email containing the debug log and the microStreamer USB descriptors.  I don't want to make HRT bend over...

Quote: This is why I asked HRT in the first place.  The S3 outputs a max power of 96ma/interface so it shouldn't really work at all (right?).  But, the S3 does allow the MicroStreamer to render 16/44.1 files over USB (played from Neutron) but does not permit 24/96 from USB AR-PRO.  I can't...

Quote:   Like you and Coop I thought that the issue might be related to power.  I asked Kevin Halverson at HRT whether he thought power was the issue.     Here was his response:         So what would the reason be?  Will the hub take non-compliant data and somehow make...

Quote:   I'm not very knowledgable in this area but are you saying that the Sample Frequency order may be what's causing the playback issues between the S3 and the HRT Microstreamer?  Could you elaborate on this a little more in layman's terms?       **UPDATE** - Spoke with Kevin...

Quote:   I wasn't able to find an answer to your question in the post history so I assume that it went unanswered.  I am interested as I am having the same results with my S3 and microstreamer using USB A.R.Pro.  On the A.R. pro website it indicates that HRT products are not supported...
