You'll regret the quality downgrade. Stick to the lcd-2's / hd800.   There really is quite the distance between them. HD 800 is the only dynamic driver worth considering. Everything else is poo.   Other than hd800-go planar sound wave.   Long version:   (as hd800 mimics planar...

They are a good phone. Heard them a while back.   Irony is their sound is the similar to ESP 950, although the stats are purely better.

Quote:   They'll sound very similar (likely). While there was some driver variation (it's pretty clear that there's always been a lot of fr variation even with the hd 800's) they'll sound very.. the same with those numbers (except for when we take into account the driver variation...

Quote: No, it looks great!; Make it bigger next time! New desktop wallpaper. It's solely pictures like this that make me want to go out and buy a Nikon D800. Just so I can make my own *incredibly* high res Desktop photos / 36Megapixels omnomnom-nommy... Ahem, nuff said.

Blue will be faster, It's a copper revelation of Silver. Black will be heavier - slower and more foggy - than the blue, but just as "clear" I guess so as not to offend anyone. I found Silver Dragon the best on nearly any headphone (by a ways) -EDIT: of the three moon cables-- Crystal Piccolino...

Kudos to whoever spots the Easter egg in one of them.          I'm too bored to talk about them, but in brief: 2k-4k range is not as recessed as all other hd 800's I've seen, nor is there any 6Khz peak! In fact, there's a dip instead. This is Very uncharacteristic of the old...

  Quote:   Me too.   SS is more clear in general. Although tubes are fun to listen to every once in awhile.   Kthxbai. =-p   I don't like tubes in general.. For a variety of reasons. Wasted cost, heat, cost of upkeep, (paronoia) in the chance of breaking, etc.. Added...

I compared a set (Number 00289) with my recent set, number 14671, which I won't part with any time soon. Mainly because of its impressive soundstage and superfluous comfort. Buy 'n large the best dynamic out there, and unrivaled staging capabilities.   They sounded different, although not as...

Sphinx, you are sitting quite possibly with sound best experience on the planet. That's not patting you on the back, that's just the way it is. ;) I'm guessing Adam's?   Anax, the KSSHV you heard had it's PSU circuitry nuked, you (and most of the bay area) has not heard the KGSSHV. The...

Compared to it on-board sound on a P55 mobo of all things. The dac is clearly better on the Dx100, although in comparison, the slow rolloff muddies the bottom range and looses some extension in comparison, in my experience.

My main thing with this is, can we turn the DF filter off? The slow-rolloff, sharp roll-off DSP is killing me.   Really want both of these Filters off, not on. I want pure, unrestrained Dac. Not (Slow roll-off) DSP, digital filtering my music. Anybody know if we can turn these off? Slow...

No, they're much easier to find than that. Q.q (Congrats on the O2 MkI btw. =-) )   There's no way it's a phone that's worth 1,000. It's that simple, with LCD-2 on HD 800's heels and ahead of it in many ways (a yin to HD 800's yang) I see no way for hd 700's to be worth anything in the...

Great setups all! Thanks for posting. All of these look very delicious. =-0   Quote: Nice!.. I like 507's. I bet it looks better in person (with better lighting) and correct colors. Looking very good!    

Quote:   Thanks for writing HiFlight, well read and versed! Still working with and enjoying mine (second day with it). I'm finding *almost* virtually no problems with mine so far. Dx100 is a nearly fit and finish product. Issues are very minor and iBasso is well on it's way to fixing...

He's saying he made it up. He was having some fun with you.   On another note, Randall_DZM's and my DX100 will arrive in a couple hours. =-) From Hong Kong to our doorstep in three days. It even went to Ohio of all places first! It was there this morning. Now it's on our delivery courier's...

I'm pretty sure we're talking about the 90%   If not even a little bit more.

Quote: Oh hey, it's been awhile since I've seen a Victoria's Secret poster. =-]  

To anyone wondering, preordered February 13th, it was near midnight though. Paid the invoice yesterday. ;) Should be seeing a tracking notice in the next day or so.

My Fr sheet arrived a few days ago... It doesn't look like any of the other HD 800 sheets I've seen.. Been to lazy to upload a still, but will. =-) I was right, mine has no peak at 6K, and actually dips a bit (just a hair - 1/4db) from 5K. My particular pair is also very different in the 3-4k...
