Thanks for this thread. I just bought the SHE3590 for 10 euro's :). I will need to check the EQ closer because there are no value's attached to the screenshot.   Is someone by any chance using the EQ from VLC :)? That one does have values. Like this...

How does this headphone compare to the Panasonic HTX7?

Quote: I think it's the proper name for it, I just don't know that much about the different potentiometers available ;). I only know this is a good potentiometer for the money. You indeed can buy the part from Mouser too :).    Regarding the different op amps. An expensive op amp is not...

I actually don't know what a dual potentiometer is. But the most common pot used on a quality cmoy like the one at Tangent or the cmoyBB from JDS Labs is the Alps RK0971221Z05: http://www.alps.com/WebObjects/catalog.woa/E/HTML/Potentiometer/RotaryPotentiometers/RK097/RK0971221Z05.html...

Noise A-Weighted dBu 24/44 is the measurement --102.8 dBu is the result A is the grade -98.3 dBu is the result C is the grade -105.4 dBu is the result and the benchmark   This is probably makes it clearer :P.

Quote: The DAC1 Pre has no grade because it's considered as the benchmark for the ODAC or any DAC he has reviewed. The Fiio and ODAC have grades how they compare to the DAC1 Pre. Grade A being best, grade F being worst, that are the letters behind the measurements. He probably has written...

Quote: Where can I (and others) find your measurements of the Focusrite?   Maybe someone will post some 16 bit performance measurements :).

I don't know how to unquote it doesn't seem to work with BBcode.   Quote:   You don't have to get mad by shouting. It's a sign of weakness in the discussion. If the DAC you own is really better please put the results here so everyone can form their opinion. Maybe this DAC sounds very...

Why don't people perform some tests on their own if they want to prove ODAC's designer wrong. The critics are very passive all in all at least speaking in reproducible objective measurements. I think it's only good to raise questions about this product, some rightfully so other maybe just to...

Quote: OT: If you can't find it with Google I don't think it's out there. You can always ask this question at the http://forums.chicanemusic.com/ .

I know it's hard to make a choice if you haven't heard either of them. I'm in the same boat, I have a list of possible headphones but can't pick one of them. My best advice would be if you have the possibility go and listen to the headphones on your list.    As it comes to amps the E17 is...

Quote: OT: Easy to assemble was never released, as far as I know there are only promotional copies out there. After the complete promotional album was leaked on the internet the album was never released. I wouldn't know how you can buy one and how to find a copy in the first place.

Sounds like some people can't handle the truth :(.   Get the party going again!

Quote: Why is that?

Quote:   Not if you use it on already bad sources like low bitrate MP3 and YouTube for which he wants to use it. You probably won't hear the slight degrading in quality but you will enjoy the more forgiving effect the EQ has :).  

Haha

Quote: I actually don't know which EQ's are good. I used to use one on my old computer to lower the bass of my pc speakers sub. You could try to Google it, search here on Head-fi and if you're not sure yet ask it on the forum :).

Quote:   You mean an EQ for everything that's running on your computer?

Like you say if buying a cheap amp gets more common it's essential to take hard action against counterfeit. I don't know how it works because you're a Chinese company and the counterfeit products are sold mainly in the US. And how IP is regulated and so fort. But if you want to expand it's...

Quote: With what kind of music genres you don't like the ODAC?

Quote: Your main argument is not valid. Why? Because you don't know, it's just a thought of you. Which is not necessarily a problem, but it in this instance it definitely is because it's your main argument.   There can be better, but at what price. In the last few post people don't say...

@tzjin If you only were this meticulous at criticizing the posts of brat. But strangely enough you didn't. 

Fiio E12 Eyjafjallajökull   But maybe a US based or easily pronounced volcano is a better choice .   Fiio E12 Kilauea   Or pick another US based volcano: http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/volcus/ustext.html   Mountains are big and high but the E12 has an unprecedented force so a volcano...

Did I read correctly that bowei doesn't know what a NAD receiver is : http://nadelectronics.com/home   If you want to listen to headphones occasionally I would choose a DAC/AMP solution. If not you can just go with only a DAC. I don't know many DAC's but other members will :).   The...

Quote: This is good news. Because of the 0.7 seconds I had written the E10 off my list. How can I be sure to get a new E10?
