New Beyerdynamic Pro X line: DT 700 Pro X and DT 900 Pro X
Enjoying the 700s with the THX Onyx amp. One proviso is having a good seal to get the best bass response and even frequency balance. If not, I feel the sound becomes slightly bass light and upper-mid range forward (shouty). I am also enjoying the rolled-off natural sounding treble which reduces...- cansman

Sennheiser HD 300 Pro Review and Impressions Thread (HD 250 Linear Revival )
I recently purchased the HD 300 Pros. Please allow me to share my thoughts on the sound quality. FYI, nowadays, I like to use just my Apple devices with the Apple lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter. This is an excellent performing device with slightly better than CD quality resolution, as...- cansman

Sony PHA-1 portable DAC/amp

The Centrance HiFi M8 thread
Hello Michael, Would there be an upsampling option to the data when the HiFi-M8 is connected to the phone / tablet device? Or even a minimum phase option for the DAC (unlikely, I think)? Thanks! cansman- cansman

Sennheiser Amperior Impressions Thread
I'm really impressed and enjoying the sound of my Amperiors. They have a fruity, propulsive bass; smooth and full mid-range; and a forward upper mid, lower treble emphasis - reminds me of the Rega Jura speakers that I previously owned and enjoyed very much. The only thing against them is...- cansman
