Fairly speaking, both R2R and Sigma-Delta are approximation. R2R and S-D all output discrete signal levels and cannot 100% restore sine waves, in other words, both are digital approximation. The difference here is they are providing such approximation with different approach.   With all due...

The above graphs of the S-D converter are unfiltered. The article is comparing output from S-D modulator (a part of complete S-D DAC signal chain) vs R2R DAC. Which makes the presentation quite misleading.    Actually the article demonstrated how S-D modulator is able to shift noise to a...

For anyone who is interested:   15% off with code HappyEars on all headphones from Sonic Electronix, which is an authorized Audeze retailer   Works with the EL-8 which brings the price down to $599   However the EL-8 is on order and not currently in stock, expected shipping is within April...

I bought a lot of audio stuff from Sonic Electronix for the past 3 years. Their service is one of the best.

  Thank you for the response, however I already shipped the headphone back to the retailer. I appreciate Audeze's effort to ensure customer satisfaction. My past experience with their customer service is very postive. I will continue to support Audeze products in the future and my next target...

The FSP performs well as a $300 headphone while EL-8 Closed performs poorly as a $700 pair. I cannot give you a direct comparison because I sold FSP already.

Yeah the FSP is a great headphone. I was very happy with the sound when I had it.

I would recommend the TH600 in the price range. To me it is simply a better sounding closed headphone.   What I dislike about EL-8C: Even smaller soundstage than the LCD-2 Inaccurate imaging Artifical high-range Limited scaling with better source Overall lifeless presentation

Just received the EL-8 closed today. This little plastic piece is falling out right out of the box, and it keeps doing so now and then. It is not a big issue but should not happen on a $700 product. And when the cable is plugged in, there is no sound on the right side. I have to secure the...

    I agree with mr Allanmarcus, there are actual innovation in full sized headphone market, this cannot be said to the current IEM market.Manufacturers like Senn/Beyer/Audeze/Hifiman all design their own drivers on high-end models.   IEM market is growing fast right now because it is...

Or planned obsolescence scheme?   jk.

A few weeks ago I asked Audeze customer support why they have changed the sensitivity rating of LCD-2 from 93db/mw to 101db/mw (similar change for LCD-3). Their response is that they have changed how they measure their own headphones. They now measure at a different location closer to the ear...

After testing out my own recording with a few instruments. That's exactly how I would describe pre-Fazor 2.2.

No, you misunderstood. There is indeed a change in bass from the pre-fazor to the LCD-2F, and I am glad they made the change. It is one step closer to neutral. A lot people do recognize this as an improvement, for example Michael Mercer.

  This post here explains the term pretty accurately: http://www.head-fi.org/a/describing-sound-a-glossary   I once recorded acoustic guitar and piano on the pcm-d50 and hooked it up with the O2/LCD-2, very good detail but the sound is flat and lacks energy. It is much more enjoyable with...

  O2 is indeed a transparent and neutral amp. However I do not find it to have the best dynamics. It is not the best paring for the LCD-2 from my experience.      My last LCD-2 fazor does has slightly more drop than the 1st pair on the FR, but not significantly. What is interesting, my...

Mjolnir/gungnir, vali/modi, o2/odac combo, microstreamer, pan am.   I do find the LCD-2 pairs well with akm based dac.

Yes I have the chance to compare both models side by side extensively and decided to get rid of the pre-Fazor. However some careful volume matching must be done since they have different sensitivity.   I also swapped the pads/cables to test out the difference. The FR charts from audeze are...

Interesting, however that's not my experience at all. May I ask what is your source/amp?   I've had 2 pairs of LCD-2 pre Fazor since 2012 (leather/vegan). They have more bloated bass and recessed mids compared to Fazor model. Neither can be considered reference sounding, but Fazor LCD-2 is one...

I asked Audeze regarding the change in efficiency rating of the LCD series (For example the LCD-2 now quotes 101dB/mw rather than 93dB/mw before). The official response is that they have changed how measurements are done. They used to measure further inside the ear but now measure slightly...
