Hey guys, So I basically want to buy a pair of Yamaha HS 8s and need some volume control for it, so basically a dac/preamp. The ones I'm looking for seem to be either super rare or ridiculously expensive. Here's what the DAC should have: - USB/optical input (can be either or both) - balanced...

****, thats pretty god **** neutral, thanks a lot, sounds great :D

Stratovarius - Stratovarius (instr.)

I have achieved the best sound with the K701 so far using the following settings: note that I'm using the headphone jack of nearfield monitors and they probably have monstrous output impedance which would make most headphone's bass muddy ( I guess?) but its actually a very beneficial...

Sounds great :D And you're right, the song is kinda boomy but still ok :D This sounds kinda like my own EQ for the K701 but I guess u've put way more effort and refinement into this.

Sounds great! Im getting really curious now :D

HAF 922 Asus P5Q Pro Turbo Q6700 @ 3.8 ghz random 800 mhz DDR 2 ram 9800GTX+ @ 810/1890/1253 random 7200 rpm hdd 500 gb need to upgrade soonish ~,~

any progress on this GlissEQ preset? I'm awaiting it with great anticipation :D

I haven't checked this thread recently so I just saw that a few people wanted my foobar setup :D here it is: http://www.speedyshare.com/files/29757959/download/fb2k.7z A little problem though: if you use the Lyrics plugin instead of the console the player crashes every couple of songs, good...

The E11 drastically reduces the airyness of the K701, at least that's what it does for me. (can drive it pretty well otherwise though)

depends where you buy them, In germany for example, the K701 goes for 200€ while the Q701 goes for 380-480€

you could also consider the DT990s!

I auditioned a pair of 279€ and another pair of 379€ beats yesterday (no idea which beats versions they were). It was in an electronics store and I had my iPhone and my E11 (EQ off) with me. As soon as the music started playing the only thing I was hearing was "BOOM BOOM BOOM". As you can...

Rank them by recording quality and musical quality please! [0.0] - [10.0] #1 "Inquisition Symphony" by Apocalyptica [ 9.9 ] (Didn't get 10 because of the annoying background noise on "Nothing Else Matters" :D ) #2 "Plays Metallica By Four Cellos" by Apocalyptica [ 9.7 ] #3 "Converting...

So yea yesterday I let 2 classmates test my GR07s and they were really impressed with the sound, they went like "**** dude, this sounds really god **** good!". After that I took another classmate of mine (who always said its ridiculous that I spend so much money on audio equipment) to my...

My GR07s are sitting at customs for almost a week now, I am enraged. :angry_face: God damned EMS!

I also got one today! Using the L9 too. And wow, it drives the K701 effortlessly (as in, if I turn the volume up more than 50% it blows my skull off) and sounds absolutely fantastic! It was worth every cent. Now I'm waiting for my GR07 god damn shipping is taking forever.

After playing around with the EQ for some weeks I realized that trying to get the headphones "flat" isnt really the way to go. I just made a few minor changes to my K701s to remove the harshness and the artificial mids and now I fully enjoy the sound signature they have!        ...

just updated my setup! :D

here you go :d

Yea I'm also pretty sceptical about this "ear canal bypassing" but so far it really doesnt sound bad. I'd really like to see opinions of people that are more educated in audio recording, though.

After playing around for 1 more day with the sine sweep I came up with this: 2400 Hz | -10 dB | 0.6 | Peak Type I 2600 Hz | 2 dB | 0.2 | Peak Type I 5900 Hz | -10 dB | 0.4 | Peak Type I 6500 Hz | 3 dB | 0.2 | Peak Type I 8500 Hz | 12 dB | 0.4 | Peak Type I 10000 Hz | -3 dB | 0.1 | Peak...

Heres what I came up with after playing around with sinegen for about an hour and finding all the major peaks on my K701. 2503,5 Hz -7dB BW: 0,2 6100,0 Hz -7dB BW: 0,3 7432,0 Hz -5dB BW: 0,2 12110 Hz -6dB BW: 0,2

long time lurker here, just registered because this caused tremendous amazement :D I've been testing DolbyHeadphone and other custom effects to get that certain "out of the head" 3D sound for a while now, always resulting with an altered sound signature. What you've set up here seems to have a...
