about fw1.2.8.    nobody else noticing the reverberation on the mids??    take a trumpet, for example out of a miles recording.. it DOES make the sound spacious and contrasts nice with the otherwise crisp and tight sound (bass and treble), but if you compare with other fws., especially...

actually i find the discussion about the changes in sound quite interesting.   but... is this the "emepror's new clothes" 2013?   in a forum dedicated to audiophile listening pleasure the ultima ratio should really be a statement like "everyone hears differently" "sq is totally subjective"...

  WOW. just listening 1.2.2 for the first time..   and i am sure again why i bought this, and why i am reading and sharing with people who care about sound.. detail, soundstage and with gapless on 5 sec even proper gapless playback.   1.2.7 is - apart from the finally stable UI - a step in...

  i feel it the same way..  1.2.6 spoiled me ;)

hmm.. maybe i agree with you. maybe the stage b4 was too wide for the depth.. but it sounded great in certain stereo recordings ;)    i will give 1.2.7 a second chance and try different headphones as well.   cheers

i use the internal amp.. what is your point here? a comparison between two fw stays subjective, for sure.   but even if the hiss is the same by amount, less highs in the signature will present less hiss... no?

FW Update 1.2.7. means a decrease in SQ imho. its definitely NOT unchanged.   soundstage is far less wide (which is the biggest disadvantage),   highs are overly tamed (therefore no hiss, as a benefit) mids seem smoother and are maybe a bit "fuller" (maybe better)  bass is hard to compare...

yeah.. thats exactly as i figure..  you guys are too focused on the gadgets ;) what for? imagine all the precious moments you could spend listening to music, instead of working your asses off just in order to follow the trend,,, dont mean to spoil the party, but honestly, the dx50 sounds...

alright! good info. tx

merci for the advices!  ... especially for the useful ones ;)

file transfer to microsd (64gig sandisk ultra sdxc class 10) via usb (cant find my cardreader) is so sllllllooooooooow.   is it  a) just because of the usb, then why its so much faster to copy files to internal storage? b) because i havent formatted the thing "right" c) because of the...

  spam?

    thanks, i get it. (voltage +- volume => +- sound)  ... but if that is so, why would/could there be any difference at all? or were you pointing out there could be some accoustic placebo that i am not aware of? ;)

;) haha not what i wanted, i am still sipping on the fifth flush gapless gunpowder..   to put my first question more precisely, i was wondering if a higher voltage changes the way the armatures "react" and give the sound therefore another "dynamic"/"color"/etc.   but i guess this is leading...

teachnically speaking, does the gain setting (and corresponding volume adjustment) change something in the way a double BA iem like the R-50 (31 ohm) performs?
