Dear all,   Many thanks for your answers, I will not worry about it :D   The click is audible through the headphones, not the actual equipment doing click (not that I am aware of).    Thanks again and have a nice day,   Daniel

Dear all,   I just noticed using an audio file with a high frequency noise on it, which is not audible by people, that when I start and stop the reproduction, the system generates a click. I tried it with two different audio files, one encoded at 96 kHz and one at 192 kHz. I do not listen to...

Dear all,   I know that probably it is the bad place to ask, but since you are very knowledgeable I will take the risk. I have a decent headphone system, not special but I like the sound (Sennheiser HD800 / Lehmann Audio Linear), I do not have any speaker system; recently I listen in a...

Hi, IMHO, the HD650 are way better than the HD558/HD598, in another different league. For me, the difference between the HD650 and the HD800 is much smaller than that between the HD650 and the HD558/HD598. But you need an amp for the HD650, and a good source.

Hi All,   Thanks to Head-Fi and HDTracks for the information and for the music.   Just wondering when are coming out new Jazz binaural albums? I would like to have more of them.   Best Regards,   Daniel

The Brian Bunker Trio:     I found this on Magnatune, and like it a lot. 

Hi! Some months ago I though Itunes store was not good at all for music, but now I think it is a mixed bag. I do not think the losy compresion is the problem, but the quality of the source in some instances, compresion artifacts probably related to the quality of the source in other cases, poor...

Many thanks for your answer! Gracias xD Daniel

Hi!   Between Pasive and Active listening, I think I hate background music, so would be more the active kind. I do not know what kind of element makes me enjoy the music, but when I really like something, I forget about everything else.   Daniel

  Hi StratocasterMan,   In my case, I do not dismiss the more recent Dylan albums, it is only that I try to explore Dylan chronologically.   Thanks for your comments,   Daniel

Hi all,   I just found this:   http://www.qobuz.com/album/frank-sinatra-sings-for-only-the-lonelystereo-version-frank-sinatra-nelson-riddle-and-his-orchestra/3610154823065   It looks it is a needle drop, or some other kind of scanned from a comercial available copy of Only for the Lonely...

Please delete! Duplicated post.

hi! My 558 was stock, any mod at all. I like it better than the 598, I feel it gives a better texture to the music, and more emotion. The 598 has a slightly better sound stage, but both are very good on this area. Have a nice day, Daniel

Hi Accordion2214,   The HD598 are open headphones, so they leak a lot of sound. Even worse, you will be able to listen many noises from the enviroment (people talking, the car engine, etc). For the use you need to give to your headphones, I do not think the HD598 are appropiate.    Best...

Dear all,   I am trying to buy the Bob Dylan complete album collection, and there are many sources to get them. So many, that I actually would prefer that his albums were treated as the beatles albums: few releases, few options, good quality.   I will start with Blonde on Blonde: I first...

Hi, Yesterday I gave my hd558 and 598 to my brothers, and showing them how to use the fiio e17, I conected it to my Jkeny modified HiFace mk2. Wow! It sounds really amazing together with the hd558 or 598. Just wanted to coment about that, in case somebody is thinking about 558 or 598 paired...

Hi,   Today I was testing something, and I turn on a CD Player and connected the HD650 directly to it. I have not listen to the HD650 for about 1 month, and though, well… I spent in an amplifier, a DAC, etc, and it sound wonderful directly from the CDP. Then, I listen to the same album from my...

Dear all,   Many thanks for your answers.   Daniel

Hi all, Yesterday evening I was listening to music using the hd800, and notice that in one recording with female vocals, there were acentuated sounds I never noticed before. They were not "ssssss" or "shh" as the description of sibilance I found here, but there are a lot of acentuated swalow...

I have never listen to the hd600, but if they are similar enough to the hd650, as people says, there is no contest. I have both the hd650 and the hd598 (and the 558 as well), and the hd650 are in an another league. Also, for my taste, the hd558 sounds better than the hd598: very similar over...

Hi people, Many are talking about the fatiguing trebel, but for me the fatigue come from the stereo bass. If I apply the crossover in Jriver when I feel tired of the headphones, the fatigue goes away. The same has been already commented by another member, I think in this same thread. Try it...

Hi,   Many thanks for your advice!   Have a nice day,   Daniel

Dear all,   I want to buy the HDTrack of "Kind of Blue", they have two versions, and need a little help. Could somebody give me some advice?   Best Regards,   Daniel

Dear all,   I realise I made two mistakes:   1) When applying the low pass filter, I did not use enough "roll off" per octave, only 6dB. Now I applied 48dB at 20kHz, but I am still getting audio signal below this frequency. I amplified the remaining signal 45 dB, and I could hear the song...

Dear all,   I wake up very early this morning, and as my wife did not want to speak with me at those hours, I had to occupy my time with a little experiment.   First aim was to find a way to verify if there is a way to verify that the process I am using to rip my CD's was properly...
