I was hoping someone has this issue with X7 and Spotify; and was googling then find this post. I am having exactly the same issue. My X7MK2 just has this problem maybe about a week ago. I switched all the setting I can possibly find, reinstalled Spotify, even reset the X7 back to factory setting...

BTW, I forgot to mention that the Yggy/Ragnarok worked OK on my LCD-X, but actually sounded great on HD650. But when I use AKG712pro, it sounded awful. ....... MJ2 is just much more versatile with all my cans....

This is also my impression as well. I went to Schiit shop and did an audition on Gungnir/MJ2 and Yggy/Ragnarok. While Yggy/Ragnarok sounded very clear and detailed, but it was way too bright. I eventually brought Yggy/Mj2. The MJ2 paired with LISST or stock tubes is not that great when compared...

I refered to the "more expensive" DAC. I think you would agree that we get what we paid for. I think it would be entirely possible that a dedicated high-end PC sound card will sound good. However, most of PC buyers do not care that much about sound quality.

I already have a GUSTARD X20-pro that uses a pair of ES9028Pro. So I was thinking to just buy a UDP-203 as CD transport and use the X20pro as DAC. But I also consider the 7-ch capacity of UDP205. Does anyone have a hands-on experience to compare the sonic quality between ES9028Pro and 9038 on...

My definition of "working" may be quite different. But I found HD600, HD650, or even 6XX sound terrible with iphone6s (even 7 or 8).

While adding a killer DAC with a great amp to a PC, would be a brilliant idea to Head-fi people here, I wonder how this could convince more general PC buyers to pay more for this feature.

I am not sure if this is fair to say, but in this hobby, most (if not all) PC sound card is not that great compared to a dedicated DAC.

Hi buke9, You got me. Thank you and I will refer as Yggy.......As a foreigner, I can not pronounce/spell a Schiit......XD. I do love the current combination. LCD-X is much easier to drive than other planners when I first used Valhalla 2 (my first headphone amp). It sounded sweet but I love...

Thank you. Looking forward to learn a lot of things from this forum.
