there is truly a weird UNACCEPTABLE pixelation problem with the font.. and only crappy backstabbing stealing companies would create and sell crap like this in f. 2020.. That screen doesnt look amoled at all... well implemented top cirrus dac chip should sound better than akm4497 maybe not...

I just received the cowon R2 and the screen font are the worst piece of pixelated crap i have ever seen.. THE ONE WHO TOOK IT APPART with the picture and everything should have said so.. what a piece of crap company.. this is f. not acceptable paid 800$CAD for a this piece of crap screen with...

Anybody know the release date.. i need a player now and would like to order this one..

Anybody can measure crosstalk SNR?

please write a comparison since the mimby multibit that i had sucked balls

what about crosstalk? it would be nice to have crosstalk measurement as well!

117DB crosstalk is very bad in my opinion.. like if crosstalk isnt important in a dac.. it's not truly dual mono.. who cares about -125db of SNR if you have -117 DB crosstalk.. i personnally find funny that they sell the yddrasil at this price.. i would go audio-dg R28 for half the cost in a...

What i truly find sad is that they just decided not to add the volume control because they want to sell their hugo 2.. when in fact it would have cost NOTHING to include it and would save all of us tons of problem.. when you have a similar type of dac.. digital volume in the dac is a must...

i really like that you made it lightweight.. i kept my koss ESP-950 electrostats because oh my god the comfort of these is just incredible.. the only bad part is their included amp. also i was wondering.. did you try or test angled drivers for better soundstage/imaging?? also why don't you...

hahaha you didn't seek much did you.. =)

  Im a musician/mixer/productor so for me when people say they want the headphone to follow the munson curve i understand but it's stupid since the sound engineer have a flat system and compensate himself in his mixing for that fluntcher munson curve.. so if it's sound bad on a flat system.. it...

hahaha wow at that price.. common ;) for 2200 you can build yourself a pair of speaker with raal ribbon and magnesium midrange or accuton ceramic midrange..   let's hope tons of other headphones beat them to the pulp.. like the stax sr-l700

  im the same but the ie800 drop too much in the mid.. from the graph.. but yeah i don't understand how people can call that hd800 neutral from the graph...   i think i'll go stax sr-l700 then.. im sure the midrange curve is more adequate.. and highs and lower distortion.. and more resolution..

I really want more info on the HD800s since headphone comfort is very important for me.. but i don't want to sacrifice the mids resolution and imaging.. i don't mind EQ for low bass if needed..   it's kinda sad that you don't have the stax sr-l700 to compare too ;) .. i love stats clear sound..

1000-1200$ was my limit.. now with canadians taxes and shipping we will pay what 2000$ ... at this price give us the docking station at least... and good cables and some psychological therapy after all the work we have to do to buy theirs overpriced products

1500$ What

kinda wish those would be at 2000 and at that price it would have worth it...   this is just another overpriced flagship YEAH... who cares how it sound when for 3000 you can have a pair of magnepan .7 or kef ls50 or .. + best amp + chord dac.. ministats from soundlabs and acoustics panel for...

I guess push pull is more efficient hence need less magnet

Gone on paper maybe... they have to use the lightest material thats all... and loose a little on profit.. cable can be lightweight too

380g is acceptable but 300g is a lot better... world of difference i find.. the headband can compensate for balance but weight is weight   they should keep same funky style but with a lightweight non resonant strong metal or carbon fiber...   -- now its kinda look like a toaster ;)   OH...

Anybody knows if weight will be under 300g - 350g.. this is a must for any next flagship. I will not pay 2000 for breaking my neck. Also clamping and headbang have to be perfect.   if it does not i will wait for the HD1000

yep i will do that..

Dam... one side squealing.... DAMMMM!!

Since they have open back, i'm not sure that a change a pads will have so much effect on the sound.

I dunno it's like saranwrap in the pads... dunno what they were thinking doing pads like this.I don't think its the vynil but it could be.. maybe it's both
