The only difference so far that I've heard going from an hd58x to a dt 880 600 ohm, is that tubes just have so much power ready to go on tap. That and when I swap headphones I've also noticed that between my heresy and my darkvoice 336se the amount of volume just is drastically different because...

I did the db tester, turns out my issue was that the DV336se just sounds like a solid-state (like my heresy). I got it within .5 db I did hear a very very small difference in soundstage. This thread that I found perfectly explains the issue. also apparently my focusrite's active input monitoring...

Honestly I've got the same issue with my Magni 3 heresy and my DV336se on my HD58X. I thought I had a bad dac because another piece of equipment was wayy to distorted EDIT:: When I mean distorted, When using an A/B tester and swapping from one amp to another listening from the XLR mic input via...

To all who commented on this thread, thanks for all your help. I've at least for the most part am going to wait until I get my new dac maybe even a db tester. Besides that, your advice won't go unnoted

I'll go there if this thread goes nowhere. I'm more or less looking for some sort of an answer, I do think that this post was unclear I'll admit that but I do like the format you wrote down. When I get my new dac which should solve my problem, I'll make some sort of post looking for a more...

This is just to prove my conclusion which was that my dac just colored the audio in such a way or distorted it bad enough that it made telling the difference very difficult

I'm assuming since you already have a Yggdrasil which is more than adequate. Would you mind testing your tube and solid-state off of the modi 3 and a bad dac or like a crappy phone. I think that's just what my problem was, no measurements are required. Since from what I read a tube and a...

And one last question Would a bad dac or simply put an audio device that lacks the ability to push out audio when amplified cause an amount of audio distortion to cause a tube and a solid-state to sound identical? if no then let me know why or how

I had the same issue with the modi 3+ as I did with my Focusrite when taking audio from my pc or any other computer. But the xlr inputs from my Focusrite gave me a substantial difference between solid-state and tube amps Just to clarify

First, before you read this, keep in mind that I've been going at this for a week now and it has made me pretty angry. I'm very technical and have gotten big into audio just a few months ago. I thought it would've been a great idea to get a tube amp since I've heard nothing but good things from...

Looks like a great read might view it later
