Tracks with best soundstage/ambiance in headphones?
Have you ever heard a track that made you think: "Wow, what is amazing soundstage!" ? Please share the tracks if you have. I've had no such experience, even with binaural recordings. I know some tracks that are better than others, but still underwhelming. I wonder if this is the best headphones... -
Neutral EQ profile for Hifiman HE-400?
My question is about the OG HE-400, not 400i, 400S, or 4XX. Does anyone have an EQ profile that you like and that in your opinion makes the sound more neutral? I've had HE400 since 2014 and never thought they don't sound neutral in any frequency range, there's no problem per se that I want...- Alexium

Who plays Glenn Miller the best?
A serious question! I always loved Glenn Miller's music and the sound of a big band. I've heard many, many recordings of the classic big band songs, various Glenn Miller tributes etc. And then I've listened to this album. Now all other renditions sound dull and boring in comparison, the... -
Which headphones under $1500 have the most resolution / amount of details?
Looking to upgrade my HE-400. I want to get that audiophile sound and hear every bit of the recording (as well the setup). Well, at least I want to get as much of it as my salary can afford. I've been told HE-400 are not the best resolving phones, and I'm inclined to agree. I've also been told...- Alexium

Tracks of phenomenal audio quality?
Greetings to all fellow music lovers! I suppose many of you will understand the problem I'm facing. Well, it's not really a problem, but an unfortunate fact nonetheless: there are great many good recording in my collection, but very few truly astonishing ones. The ones that justify buying... -
Is there *really* an audible difference between different DACs?
I was wondering for a long time how much DAC and power amp matter in the sound system. Or, more precisely, is there much audible difference between various good units. Because, clearly, poor engineering may easily lead to audibly bad devices, but that's of little interest. So I bought and O2...- Alexium

Best amp-less USB audio DAC for under $20?
I've recently finished complete overhaul of the audio system in my car. It's sourced by a stereo USB DAC and Windows 10 Car PC as a head unit. A while ago I bought an extremely cheap and simple PCM2704 USB DAC to toy with and possibly to use as a USB to TOSLINK converter for connecting an...- Alexium

Monitor-ish headphone options at ~$500 for upgrading from HE-400?
Hello everyone. It's a been a while since I bought my orthodynamic HiFiman HE-400 and stopped watching the market, but now I'm thinking of upgrading. So I need your advice on possible good options (if any, HE-400 are awesome!) in this price range, including second-hand. I'm looking for...- Alexium

Monitor headphones under $200 - are there any?
Greetings! I'm quite new to the world of hi-fi headphones. Until now I only have had 2 models worth mentioning: Koss KSC75 and KOSS R/80, and I have also listened to a bit more expensive Grado SR60i. That pretty much covers all my experience with headphones. I think I'm ready to purchase...- Alexium
