    bass of the AH-D7000

    the bass on the D7000 is only there if its on the recording, however it seems the upper mids are slightly recessed. however when the bass is there, its like "did they master it with so much bass" i'm also hearing the deficiency of the sony amp I drive them through at the moment, also they havn't...

    bass of the AH-D7000

    never heard anything like it, with drum and bass its like being at a club, which i havn't been lately. i keep checking to see if there is someone coming in the room. the cans are neutral, and the bass seems like it swamps and overrides the midrange, however it dosn't. the midrange is pretty...

    XCAN v8P passthrough

    If the built in DAC in this headphone amp is crappy, can I take the output from an MF VDAC and put it through the amp?

    amps for DX1000 D7000

    I plan to get a Musical Fidelity VDAC. I read the DAC on the XCAN v8P is not good. True or not? Can you chain it with the VDAC, as a pass through? Source => VDAC => XCAN v8P or Source => VDAC => Graham Slee Solo.

    Denon AH-D7000

    Hawat i will use them on the underground/subway that is it. the twist resistant cable attracted me also. i am non plussed about the shiny finish, but just care about the sound really.

    Denon AH-D7000

    I have bought the D7000. Do the earcups look like a plastic finish? If so this is better as they look like a cheaper product and less likely to be swiped. I'm not concerened about dings and scatches and will not baby them

    JVC HA-DX1000 or Denon AH-D7000

    it's looking like the DX1000 as I do need reasonable isolation from outside. I do not want to be engaged with my music all the time, I like a relaxing listen sometimes. are the DX1000 good in this regard? Though they are coloured, the detail will still be there. Alot to like. Amplifiers I am...

    JVC HA-DX1000 or Denon AH-D7000

    Which one do you think I should get? I listen to music such as rock, pop, electronic, drum and bass. I like the live look of the HA-DX1000. Not sure on the cups of the D7000, if they pick up dings and scratches from normal use, as they are gloss. Can the DX-1000 be used on all types of music...

    don't forget your anti static water before listening, and also the speaker cables forged and drawn by monks in Kham, eastern tibet.

    JVC DX1000 vs. Denon D7000: a mini-review

    i guess i won't get to listen A-B to the DX1000 and D7000. i might end up getting both eventually. is the AH-D7000 bright with solid state equipment of correct power, or not?

    JVC DX1000 vs. Denon D7000: a mini-review

    i'm wondering if this colouration is euphonic and pleasant, or if it sounds muddled and grungy i.e in layered music and a wall of sound like UNKLE (James Lavelle) it would be muddy. i also wonder if this echo actually blocks the resolution of sounds in a mix, or whether it's just a reverb effect.

    mp3 bitrate and upsampling

    mp3 bitrate and upsampling

    i plan to ask for an MF V-DAC for christmas. my question, is it not worth upsampling mp3's below 256kb, because of the artificial frequency multiplier and the re-timing issues of the source. for example it will remove the sloshing sound on low bitrate mp3's at the expense of warmth? i'm hoping...

    JVC DX1000 vs. Denon D7000: a mini-review

    looking at the frequency curve, it looks like the D7000 will be overwhelming with bass while playing d&b. it's about the whole presentation and this music is often > 160bpm. is the DX1000 bass a bit deeper but less forward and punching? a low bass hump is not what i want as it could quickly get...

    drum & bass

    is this track a good test for high end headphones? YouTube - Counterstrike - Fear Generation are high end headphones up to this without distorting so you can keep the volume lower?

    output of DAP with portable amp

    now forgive ignorance here, however I need this resolved. providing a DAP/PMP provides 37 mW of sound into a headphone, if I buy a portable amp which outputs 20 mW, will I now have a maximum of 57 mW per channel to use? this is using a headphone out, as the D2(+) does not have a lineout.

    ATH-W5000 with amp

    as long as the D7000 bass is not slow, i will go for these cans. i read on a hifi choice review that the bass can sometimes overwhelm, however it was minor. the better they are amped the more tight the bass on these denons? i heard they are mostly neutral while being fun. best to start with some...

    ATH-W5000 with amp

    what is the potential of this headphone for fast music such as drum and bass, when combined with a powerful DAP like the D2 and a powerful headphone amp like the SR71. Is the bass light and muddy sound cured? or is the Denon AH-D7000 better and more neutral in this respect.
