Another question is: Some people said you need a big transducer to generate low frequency tones, this should be inaccurate.   I think transducers of any size can generate low frequency tones, but because human ears are so insensitive toward low frequencies, bigger transducers can move...

thanks. So if you are in a very small room and your speakers produce basses lower than 30hz, you hear the original waves just fine when your ears recieve them directly. But sound waves reflected from things like walls may create resonances that increase or decrease the original wave...

I read an article somewhere saying you need a big room to actually hear low frequencies. It's based on physics: Speed = frequency * wavelength So if your room is too small, low basses you hear are actually resonances.   The question is: Since headphones (especially closed types) have so...

Quote: well done. The final winner seems to be HD600, for comfort factors.

Hello DanBa, I was thinking about a CyanogenMod for my Android 4.1 tablet which was unable to use UsbAudioRecorderPro.   I found the "CyanogenMod 10.1 for Ainol Novo 10 Hero" which is promising. But I think maybe there's no need to do a full re-root, after all what I need is android's...

I bought SRS-2170 and listened to them for 3 weeks. Very impressed. Its bass is not so light as many people said, maybe newer drivers have improved.   However, when I used headphones to watch the bass-heavy movies, like The Lord of the Rings, there were No sub-basses.   Although...

Quote:   Wow! Tyll Hertsens!! Just want to say, your review on Ultrasone Edition 10 is very cool. Really have a talent of acting.

Quote:   Very informative. It seems that at this moment what we android audiophiles can do are:   1. Beg Google to improve android's sound driver for next releases. Can you propose a vote on Google's "to be improve" list?   2. Buy USB DACs with old school chipsets like...

Quote:   I happen to have them both, and love them both.   To me HD600's performance is so elegant and soothing but somewhat colored, therefore is not so accurate as Dt880 in classical music.   However, after lstening for 2 or 3 hours, dt880 tend to be more fatiguing. Not a...

Hello DanBa, Thank you for all the information about Android USB DAC.   In a previous thread you mentioned "the Galaxy S3 with USB Audio Recorder PRO interworks with the FiiO E17 USB DAC/amp" ,  does this mean all the Android 4.X devices using USB Audio Recorder PRO can interwork with...

After some web surveys, I think PCM-2704 implementations work well with native Android 4. Most newer and higher USB chipsets seem to be incompatible.

Hello, I bought a set of sr2170 and listened to them for three weeks. It's so great. I've never listened to such an effortless rendition.   Very likely I won't appreciate other HPs except higher Staxes.   Initially I was a bit worry about the electrostatic's hi-voltage, But after...

My Android 4.1.1 tablet can be set as HDMI out with tablet display. So I wonder anyone succeded in Android phone/tablet -> HDMI out -> SPDIF -> DAC -> Headphone?   It will be an another solution for Android's USB DAC.

Just found E17 shows 96/24 bit mode while playing 88/24 bit FLACs.

Quote:   With Windows NB or PC, I always use USB connection for E17, which can be set into 96/24 bit mode.   The SPDIF connection I mentioned here, is provided by a RMVB player, which has only SPDIF RAW and SPDIF LPCM setting options.   I suspect the SPDIF 48/16 mode I got is...

hello! Yesterday I used E17's SPDIF input for some music, quite good. But I noticed E17's menu showing it is using 48/16 bit mode. Can I set it into higher mode?

Good points, I thought the Speed here is something relating to transducer's Momentum, right?   Although a 25 hz note can be produced correctly, but few subwoofers can start/stop the note quickly enough.

Yes, I've not heard  a Stax, :p am going to hear one tomorrow.   Hope it is so good as many people said.   ............. Yes, there are very few subwoofers can catch up the speed of electrostatics.

So the advantage of headphones disappear with this setup. I found some modles of Stax have a Bypass design on the amp, Maybe it could be used with a subwoofer.

I don't know whether if anybody tried such a setup, but I believe it has potential. My idea is: combine electrostatic headphone with a subwoofer. Such a system should have the clarity and purity of electrostatic headphones meanwhile provide the strongest bass with subwoofers.   Imagine...

Since I have a pair of HD600 and think those are great for classics, will you compare DT660 with HD600 in terms of classic music?   Besides DT660, what are other "one of the best Classical Music HPs" ? Thanks!
