(off topic) I don't know, maybe I'll take a stir but, for my "peculiar" ears, the 2.18 FW was something...! Alala...

    Yes, it's true. I left a message right here to describe the perceived sound differences. But they are very very light...

...that's what we called an "European utopia" !

  Me too ! ;)   Lurker0 is perhaps a little virulent in his choice of words while keeping a certain note of humor. By cons, WindowsX is a bit too defensive, perhaps nervously fragile but nevertheless seems in good faith. Huhu ... Either WindowsX takes it upon himself and becomes more accurate...

  Ok, same time, even for a committed audiophile, I'm not sure that the price difference is justifiable. But I've never tested the 240 ... so maybe I am wrong ... who knows? ;)

  Hum, you have to read carefully the conclusion of this article : http://www.headfonia.com/godbless-you-mr-headwhacker-or-rockbox-loves-the-dx90/  

Yes, a Rambo with some Indiana Jones genes...

Well, while listening to a dozen different pieces of music chosen for their properties intrinsic qualities (see list at end of post), I did not notice any particular irregularity. Maybe, and I say "maybe" there he has a little more velocity and accuracy in relation to 2.20L0.   Note that...

  Yeah ! Jon, It seems we have the same auditory sensitivity! I do not understand those who do not notice the differences in tone between the different firmwares nor those who say blindly that this firmware is better than another for cosmetic reasons ... Maby I'm lucky, but by using only...

  Yes, I think it depends on the head/earphones. The ideal would be to make a specific tread to talk about DX90's firmwares according head/earphones used ... Because in the end, the feelings that seem random depend, I think, more of that than anything else.

I have this pairing too. As H20Fidelity said, the sound is quite detailed and engaging. For my part I use the low gain and it does the job very well. After, all depends on the firmware used. Because of the very detailed treble (or even sibilant) of the SRH940, and the neutrality of the rest of...

Ok. Many Thanks for you reply omastic , even if it seems that we do not have the same auditory sensitivity ;) (Because I really hear all the difference in firmware change, but that's another subject). But I can not wait to get my hand on these Velvets.

  HI, like you, I have a DX90 for now associated with a Shure SRH-940 headphones. And I plan to offer me the Velvet soon. Out of curiosity, I would like to know what DX90 firmwares do you use and why, and with what Velvet mode? And did you finally replaced the cable to the velvet?

+1   At first listen, the sound seems more linear with the 2.20 but by being more attentive, this is not actually the case. I feel that there are irregularities in the frequency curve and strangely, to my ears, the acute is too aggressive compared with 2.18 L0 or even the 2.15 L2. Also...

  Just in case, and although it seems a bit silly but as apparently happened to many people here, are you sure that your headphones are connected to the correct audio output ? Because, frankly, the sound of this unit is not comparable to that of an iphone  (...unless bad faith, using very lossy...
