    LCD-X and XC Update

    So I downloaded Peace and applied the presets. Now it appears there's a problem using the EQ settings with Foobar, I think more specifically WASAPI, since it hijacks PC audio. Any simple solution to this, or what's a good VST EQ to download where I can apply the settings to be compatible with...

    LCD-X and XC Update

    I recently got my now upgraded LCD-X back from Audeze. Reading through this thread has me curious about EQ'ing. I'm using Foobar, and its equalizer is pretty "meh" compared to what I was observing on the headphone show livestream. If I were to follow Resolve's adjustments as a starting point...

    LCD-X and XC Update

    Sorry if this has already been asked. Does anyone know if the Reveal plugin presets have been adjusted to coincide with these updates? If not then, would it be a better idea to listen to new LCD-X without Reveal and add EQ? With Reveal and add EQ? Without either? Thoughts?

    Audeze SINE Series

      Thanks for your impressions! I'm wondering when you ordered yours. I'm trying to gauge when I might receive the ones I ordered (on the 10th.)

    Audeze SINE Series

      Awesome. I was already looking into getting a balanced cable. I saw tiered copper and silver options, but nothing specific for Sine. Link please?

    Audeze SINE Series

    Alright, I am VERY close to pulling the trigger on this purchase. My only concern now is that I read a review on c-net that stated "it's not ideal for listening to rock tracks." I'd have to say that about 70% of what I listen to falls under the rock/metal category.   Can anyone who has Sine...

    Audeze SINE Series

      Appreciate the response! Damn, that's tough. I love clear treble and open soundstage, but I really am not a fan of bass-neutral phones either. Is the lack of clarity in the Sine treble due to the tuning volume level or just seems less because of added bass?   I'm also concerned about...

    Audeze SINE Series

    Sorry if I missed this, but does anyone have both Sine and Ether C? I'm wondering how they compare. Being that Sine is a third the cost of Ether C, I'm considering it more strongly if the overall improvement (if any) in Ether C is only marginal.

    Line-out issues using Hifiman HM-901s for car stereo?

    I am using my HM-901S as a transport/DAC with my car stereo and occasionally other home stereo systems. My connection setup is from line-out - lineout to red / white male rca cable - coupler - red and white male rca to aux cable - aux input. USB is not an option because the line-out to USB cable...

    I went last year and would definitely be interested in attending again.

    Official HIFIMAN HE1000 Impressions Thread

      I've tried some great ss amps, but have never really tried tubes. I listened to a comparison on youtube between a Telecaster being played on a ss amp, and then tube, both Fenders,  just to get an idea. The tube amp gave off a rich, lush, organic tone, while the ss amp seemed more...

    Official HIFIMAN HE1000 Impressions Thread

      Thanks, everyone! Money, I just read your review on Ether! -OUTSTANDING- work. I'm aware of the LCD-X mid-bottom heaviness, and my preference for it. I think that's why the HE-1K seems that much more derived to me in that sense compared to what is technically and graphically considered to be...

    Official HIFIMAN HE1000 Impressions Thread

            Hello everyone, I'm going to go ahead and try my hand at posting these impressions on the HE-1K, which will be my first. I eventually want to do full fledged pro-style bad-ass reviews, and I so I have to start somewhere. Since I've never really shared headphone impressions, my tendency...

    Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone

      Yes, they only send a 1/4 single ended cable unless you specifically ask for a 4-pin XLR (I forgot this time around), and occasionally the option isn't available, depending on the headphone. Any headphone rented from thecableco.com costs 5% of its retail price. The HEK was $150 to rent, with...
