I use my iPod Classic with SE530 and don´t care about hiss. I would have to listen for it to hear it but i don´t do it.

iBasso iBasso D3 - Portable Amp/USB-DAC Main Features: - Wolfson WM8740 DAC Chip + TI PCM2706 - USB signal input, provides I2S interface for decoding - 4ch Amp architecture - Line out function, allow it to work as a standalone USB-DAC - 2-Setting Gain Switch for impedance matching...

That´s a Wolfson DAC, like the iPods up to 5.5G had. But the actual iPod uses a Cirrus Logic audio codec chip. DAC, control logic and amp are integrated into one chip. I doubt that the signal gets out to the to the Line Out in the middle [of the signal path] of the chip. The iPod should have...

Has anyone bought a Pacemaker? Since the Pacemaker is out, i´ve nothing heard about it. Maybe it´s just not as good as expected but i can´t imagine nobody bought one instead of an iPod/iMod/iRvier Hxxx.

The MS1 aren´t IEM. And the MS2 are much more revealing. The MS1 sound realy nice, but they are the opposite of revealing.

Clamping closed HP, who trap the air, can cause ear throbbing. But the Denon AH-D2000 for example sits very loose on your ears. Much looser than a studio headphone like the AKG 240/271, Sennheiser HD25 or the Ultrasone HP. And the ATH-W5000 sits so loose on your ears, that many have problems...

Thanks for the clue. I have just informed me what Blue-Tac is. It seems to be very convenient to use. But does it damps vibrations?

I want to damp the earcups, The Metal Headphone Assembly and the Rear Of The Driver. But i live in Germany and Xtreme Dynamat / Dynaxorb cost me at least € 45. That´s around 70 Dollars, the same stuff cost the half in the USA. I have a bitumen pad for my computer. The pad sits on the floor...

Just forget about the DT 990. So long as you are not a basshead. Sorry if i insult anyone, but the K-701 is not right HP for bassheads. I owuld rate the bass of the K-701 at 7 or 8 - as long as it has the right amplification. The K-701 needs a good amp in the lower register, because the...

I know one who had both, D2000 and D5000 and he likes his D5000 more than the D2000. The D5000 has a more balanced sound and the D2000 has more pronounced bass and highs [for him]. I don´t know if it has something to do with the resonance of the wooden earcups. There are other ways to...

If you want to get stimulated by the music, you need drum and bass. ´Cause the rythmn is in there, in the mids are the melodies. I get "scared" by upper mids (6000-8000 Hz). That hurts. Bass gives me a comfortable feeling. I´m more a person who wan´t to relax. But the threadstarter...

Then you need a Sony MDR-SA5000. No headband - it uses a net on your head. And the HP is very light (made out of magnesium). Leather earpads - what can anyone want more?

Don´t forget his main question: Quote: Originally Posted by gbx2006 I am mainly asking what the difference is between IEM and full sized cans are in general. The Soundstage of a full-sized can is much wider. Some people call the Soundstage of IEM just "headstage" because you...

As the OP wrote, it´s Ultrasone HP is no longer under warranty. Quote: Originally Posted by sanufi The headphone is no longer under the 2-year warranty. What are my options?

That´s why i bought AKG K-701. Know to be detailed, but also musically. You hear the music as a whole. Nut just the kickbass and some highs.
