    Help! Sennheiser HD600 lover looking to love Grados (SR225e, RS2e or RS1e)

      Thank you for your feedback. The only reason why I thought about RS2e over SR225 is because someone wrote that the real beauty of Grados is when you go to the Reference series. You don't feel that way?

    Help! Sennheiser HD600 lover looking to love Grados (SR225e, RS2e or RS1e)

    Hi guys,   For over a year now I've been very pleased with Sennheiser HD600 powered by Schiit modi and vali combo. Before I settled on Sennheiser I remember testing maybe Grados sr80 and they were decent. Now, I have an opportunity to buy Grados very cheap and ... I am curious to try something...

    From Bose mie2i to Sennheiser IE800 .... good move? I did Like Bose.

    Just like the title says ... I admit, I liked my bose mie2i. Problem is that the wire is all done and I am unable to find a new pair easily, so thought, why not try something new.   At home I have the HD600 and they are great but I need portable in ear headphones. Long time ago I tried 3-4...

    Did I get a Fake Bose mie2i headphones for Christmas???

    Even being a hater towards Bose products, I do like their bose mie2i headphones. After having them for 5 years and them starting to look like crap with almost bare wires my wife got me a new bose mie2i (but the ones that don't have iphone control, so I guess is it IE2?)   Anyway, in terms of...

    Foobar2000 SACD iso to FLAC converting my 192000hz to 44100hz. WHY?

    already got my answer. Just had to go to Preference, SACD and change rate from 44.1 to 88 or 176.  382 or something like that didn't work.

    Foobar2000 SACD iso to FLAC converting my 192000hz to 44100hz. WHY?

    ............. and a follow up question is ... if I do not solve this issue ... should I care that I am listening to 44100hz sound and not 192 on my home theater system? It's still going to be multi channel mix

    Foobar2000 SACD iso to FLAC converting my 192000hz to 44100hz. WHY?

    Hi guys,   If I solve this problem, I'll return the SACD player I just bought.     Every time I convert iso SACD files (multi channel) to FLAC in Foobar2000 ... foobar makes it a 44100hz file instead of keeping original that was 192000hz. Why is this happening? How can I tell Foobar to keep...

    Am I Deaf or what? Comparing 192000hz vs 96000hz vs 48000 .... no difference.... Help

    The files I get are downloaded from sites that share high quality FLAC music recorded from either SACDs or Blue Ray music.   So if human is unable to hear past 24khz why are so many people still collect these huge files?

    Am I Deaf or what? Comparing 192000hz vs 96000hz vs 48000 .... no difference.... Help

    Maybe I am doing something wrong.   My set up...   Old PC (4-5 years old) no fancy sound cards or anything like that.   Schiit Modi (DAC) Schiit Vali (AMP) Sennheiser HD600   I plugged my Modi DAC to USB and thus from my knowledge my PC is not really decoding sound.   Using Foobar to...

                                              I apologize ... didn't make it clear ... when I said ... your #2, what I mean is not a HP that's similar in sound signature. I mean a HP that's very different from HD600 such as Grados that you use for a...

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    As a very happy HD600 (Schiit Modi/Vali) owner ... I am now interested in 1 more pair of HP that have a very different sound for different kind of music. I was thinking Grados for that electrifying guitar kind of sound.   For HD600 owners ... what's your #2 HP you listen to?

    Results of my A/B Comparison of Sennheiser HD598 vs HD600 using Shiit Modi DAC and Vali AMP

      haha, I know right? :-) I did the same with a home theater hobby. Spent thousands of dollars on all audio but it took a full year and a baby to be "done" with further upgrade.
