The quad HD on some of the later models is engaged only when >16 bit files are played on the native music player. I reencoded my music to 24bit without added dither, with makes the files bit identical in FLAC, bit triggers the HD symbol. However if you use PowerAmp APP or Neutron APP with the...

I guess so. In the past they had B&O and Meridian doing it, where usually there is some expertise (who knows these days), but if it was an LG DIY, maybe they screwed it up. Digital filters are well understood, but without a deep understanding it is easy to make a mess of it.

If I recall correctly on the G8, the Qualcomm DAC is used if you use the built in music player and other APPs if 16bit or less audio is played, to save power. The Quad DAC is enabled when it sees"hi-rez". So I edited my music files to make them 24bit FLAC, adding LSB zeros. This doesn't take...

Perhaps we should define This is some of it. But it is not exclusively "lively". Their are other types of music which need a different type of timing accuracy. The P - Pace, is about the perceived speed of the track. Obviously it does not speed up or slow down the actual playback speed...

I I'm interested in your arguement about single ended verses balanced. It has pros and cons. But I haven't notice PRaT aspects in my travels.

New android APP (probably other platforms too). I was still having issues connecting the H95 after previously fixing it. The new APP immediately saw my H95 without any prompting and connected seamlessly. About time they fixed this. (Xperia Pro I) I don't need it for much, but good to have...

Well as I said above, the measured changes from more involved analysis are not in the frequency response, but in the compliance. So this is interesting, but not helpful in proving anything. Burn-in is subtle, but if something sounds pretty good, it tends to get better, depending on materials.

This is a subject that rolls on by opinion rather than gathered facts, like many other aspects discussed on the internet. The fact of the matter is , if you do not want to hear a difference, that just as easy to achieve, as hearing a difference that is not there. The industry best acoustic...

Also if this happens gradually as in aging, the perceived tonal response doesn't change, i.e. you don't feel a shut in sound because the top end is diminished. Sudden loss of hearing will cause that to happen more. So older experienced listeners will still need a flat response (within their...

It has abtx, abtxHD and abtx Adaptive. abtx lossless can never be lossless over bluetooth as there is not enough bandwidth. It gets close, but I am sure it dynamically scales data rate depending on signal integrity like adaptive and LDAC. It should be better than AAC on Apple (which is far...

Just a bit of info for a limited number of people here: The AKG K872 hardcase fits the NDH30 (and I presume NDH20) very well.

Careful now.

Agreed with the above. These are not headphones that initially "impress" like some more commercial designs with overblown bass and a mid treble boost to offset it. (We all here can point fingers at those brands - (Beats set the trend, and others had to follow or die off). They are mostly...

I will take a (Japanese made) MX5 over a Corvette any day, because handling and build quality matter more than noise and flashiness. If Lotus could make cars as reliable as Mazda, I would go for them, but they don't. So I like having a Sennheiser headphone with tighter tolerances and tuned for...

This is always a nice upgrade if there were issues in the first place. However you will now be TOO clean to be neutral, as youears should have a little wax for general protection. So you will need to let your ear canals run-in before they sound at there nominal best.:dt880smile:
