    Focal Clear headphones

    Definitely. The general consensus is that the soundstage is small. And lack of sparkle in treble is also something that annoys me. These would definitely be 2 biggest drawbacks for me.

    Focal Clear headphones

    New Clear owner here. Coming from Denon AH-D2000 that I used since ~2012. My initial Clear impressions were quite negative. Bassy af, but not in a good way. Felt like there was too much muffled bass,but it also wasn't hitting hard when it needed to. I was incredibly put off by how small...

    Ripping CD to FLAC, whats your opinion?

    Most (music websites) prefer to have multiple flacs with cue and rip log. I think that's an excellent choice. I'm also annoyed by large single file albums. And you wanna keep your cue sheet since it doesn't take up that much space.

    AH D2000 and the HD600

    I do not own 650, but I do own D2000 and PortaPro. So I can compare those two. Actually there's no comparison, D2000 does everything better as expected from a can that sells for $200 more. First, Bass goes much deeper on D2000, and so it makes D2000 bass much more realistic. Portapro has a bit...

    Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)

    It remains to be seen what the final US retail pricing is. If they can do 300-400 range it may be a very good deal. For a big computer company like ASUS its a huge gamble to put out a niche Audiophile product like this. Let's face it, average mainstream consumer will not be lining up in Best Buy...

    Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)

    Just read the review. Thanks for that and I'm also looking forward to your English review.    So in a nut shell, (correct me if I'm wrong) your opinion is that its noticeably better than STX, but seems to lack detail at higher frequencies? Also sound gets distorted at very high volumes with...

    Reply to review by 'pdv373' on item 'Alessandro MS1i'

    I personally think that MS1 will be great for heavy metal. To be honest though... I'm not big fan of metal. If you don't like what you hear right out of the box (I certainly didn't), just give it some time, burn them in, and don't be afraid to adjust equalizer.

    Review by 'pdv373' on item 'Alessandro MS1i'

    Audio Quality: My initial impressions were quite negative. It seemed to lack bass, and some vocals and electric guitars seemed very piercing with specific music. However after some (brain) burn-in, and some EQ adjustments I really started to enjoy my MS-1.   BASS: I can certainly say that...

    Want to get a Sennheiser HD800 for my Xonar Essence STX

    Also first time poster here.. :)   I would be very interested in hearing your (or anyone's) impressions of HD800+Essence vs HD800+stand-alone amp if you do get it.   I may be getting LCD-2 and I'm going to pair it with my Essence ST ... but now I'm wondering if I'm going to get any...
