So, here we go: Source: hm901 with balanced amp card in SE mode except for re600. Findings: 1. 901 is a good dap :) 2. W4 is still my favorite, especially under this set up. Followed by 334 and k3003 then prolly ie800 (universals) 3. W4 is most custom like with enveloping sound stage, others are...

My silverdragon recabled TH900 is officially up for sale. Take a look if you are interested. The headphone was bought not long ago and in perfect condition.

I found you have a very distinctive taste in IEM. I remember you described the SE5WAY as dark and heavy in bass. You even describe the relatively bright and light sounding re400 as dark... IDK what is going on in your mind but fore me re400 sounds like a piece of cheap plastic and re600 is...

Got my RE600 today. Really impressive stuff I have to say. I paired it with the hifiman 901 + balanced amp card as advertised lol Great great vocal, reminds me of HE500 which is one of my favorite big cans. Only complaint is a little bit lack in the bass department. Just personal preference...

ED8 is easily one of the worst headphones I've ever had... It is simply unlistenable, I found I would rather listen to beats pro than those... Nonetheless, I had them 3 times... tried so hard to love them because they look really gorgeous, but failed... miserably.

Quote: I'm referring to the amp card... The mids and low-end is much more prominent with the balanced amp card than the stock one imo.

901 is not 901 w/o the balanced amp module imo.

Quote: Good-quality silver cables are with air up top, yet being silky smooth (not harsh at all). Bad silver cable tend to be offensive sounding.

my only complaint about the T1 is that they are overly bright sometimes, especially paired with some neutral sources.

Quote: same here. Though I really miss the lookings of W3000ANV as well as its mids. Aside from that, TH900 simply trumps the W3000 especially in terms of sound stage, imaging, airiness etc. Oh and of course much stronger bass...

Quote: Lucky you! I'm stuck with the balanced amp module T.T

Quote: I have both of the headphones and I used to have DX100 dap too. HD700 drive out of DX100 is actually quite enjoyble to my ears. DX100 has the best extension and smoothness up-top, even more so than the 901, which should pair well with TH900's incredible highs (unfortunately I sold...

After one more day of burn-in, I don't know whether it is physically or psychologically. Somehow it sounds quite a bit more enjoyable than my impression out of the box...

Quote: thank you! But I still find the W3000 and ED8 to be better looking cans: (I love shooting photos of my headphones)
