Anyone here know how an Asgard 2 and Bifrost will affect some HD558s and some Shure SRH-940s? I dont have the amp or DAC yet, or the SRH-940s. But I expect to have them within the next 2 weeks or so. So Im curious how the sound will change.- Aaron94

What was your first headphone purchase after coming to Head-Fi?
Sennheiser HD558. I love them, but I cant help but feel they could have more sparkle in the treble. Currently looking at getting some AH-D2000s or SRH-940s to solve that problem, thoughts?- Aaron94

Hey guys, Im back with another question. Basically I have around $600 to spend on some gear. The way I see it I have 2 choices, since Id like to stick with Schiit gear. Option one is to buy an Asgard 2 and a Bifrost, then use them with my current HD558s for all my listening. Option two is...- Aaron94

So can anyone tell me if a Mini Toslink connector will fit in and work with a dual SPDIF 3.5mm headphone jack, or do I need some kind of adapter? I need to know before I order the cable on Amazon just so I dont have to go through a return process. Also is there an audible difference...- Aaron94

♀ ⅛" to ♂ ¼" Adapter Cable
Only thing I can really think of is to buy a 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter like this one; http://www.amazon.com/AudioAdapt-Quality-Headphone-Adapter-Stereo/dp/B003VGUGBS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1372306056&sr=1-1&keywords=3.5mm+to+6.3mm+adapter And attach it to a standard 3.5mm... -

Ok, just got done with Asus support. They say that the SPDIF in my laptop is digital, but apon watching a few videos I found that it can also be used optical, or at least Im hoping it can. The videos I watched were not my particular model, but I doubt Asus would put different SPDIF into...- Aaron94

Quote: Thanks for the help, Im actually waiting right now to chat with Asus support to see if they can tell me if its a digital or optical output SPDIF. In the mean time, can anyone telling me if my HD558s would benefit from an Asgard 2 + Bifrost, I will most likely be upgrading...- Aaron94

Hoping someone here can help me. Awhile ago I made a thread asking about how I would connect a Bifrost to my laptop, and I got a few answers that I thought were correct, but now Im realizing they werent. Hopefully within the next few weeks I will be getting an Asgard 2/Bifrost stack to be...- Aaron94

HD 558/598 soundstage and bass difference
Found them. http://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/g/thread/S34014325#p34014951 Basically all you need to see is the first 4 images on there, starting where the link takes you. The best evidence comes when the green line in the 1st image to the red line in the 4th image. The green line...- Aaron94

HD 558/598 soundstage and bass difference

HD 558/598 soundstage and bass difference
There is a rather well known mod to the HD558 that involves taking out a small piece of foam on the inside of the headphones, it has been proven to a reasonable degree that doing this makes the HD558s sound exactly like the HD598. As for the soundstage, I dont think they are different at all...- Aaron94

[ortho transplant]: T50rp drivers into V-Moda Crossfade (lots of pictures)
Im rather curious as to what they would sound like it you put them into an open back headphone carcass. Perhaps buy something cheap like some Superlux cans or something and stick the LP driver in there.- Aaron94

Quote: Indeed I did. Straight out of the box I opened them up and took the foam off, I have it stuck to the top of my desk should I decide to resell them at any point, Ill just put it back in. When I got them I also got a shorter cable to bypass the bulky adapter, but it didnt fit in...- Aaron94

First post in this thread. Thus far this is all I have, my HD558s hooked to my laptop running Foobar2k FLAC files. Ive got them resting on this nifty little CD rack I got at a good will store, press the buttons on the right side and the tray slides out where you can put the entire CD case...- Aaron94
