    Verum Audio - Exciting high performance DIY planar

    To me the verums sound much more natural. Going back to the HE-4XX, it sound a bit artificial with sort of a metallic tone to it. The sound on the 4XX seems a little more V-shaped to me with boosted treble and somewhat elevated bass. The midrange sound much fuller on the verums. In terms of...

    Verum Audio - Exciting high performance DIY planar

    I use mine with a DX3 pro and I think it is a good match. Usually between -30 and -20 dB on low gain and it is very clean. Had a magni 3 before I got the verums but the DX3 definately sounded cleaner to me using HE-4xx and sensitive iems.

    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    Anyone heard the blon cardinal/bluejay? The bl-03 really blew me away and are actually getting more use than my Fiio FH-5 (although this is mostly due to the better fit). On some songs I even prefer their sound to the FH-5 due to their tuning even if the FH-5 are faster and more resolving. Is...

    FiiO FH5 - Quad Driver Hybrid In-Ear Monitors || Knowles Balanced Armature Drivers

    Oh in that case I dont know. A lot of people seem to believe so but I have not heard it. It should be slightly more neutral in the bass and have better treble extension. There are probably a lot of comparisons earlier in this thread and on other sites that could be worth looking at.

    No, as long as you have a cable without some serious fault, the only time there might be a noticable difference is when going from single ended to balanced.

    Verum Audio - Exciting high performance DIY planar

    I did not have to pay taxes for the headphones but I did for the pads (I live in Sweden). I think he declares the value of the headphones lower than $350 so taxes should not be too expensive even if you have to pay them. Shipping took about 3-4 weeks.

    From what I have read, the fiio m6 should perform similarly to its bigger siblings for much less money. Could be worth checking out as well.

    I’m having problems with buying the pads. I get an email from wayforpay saying that the payment has been approved and the money gets reserved in my account. After a while the reservation disappears and no money is taken from the account. Also no order confirmation of course. Anyone else having...

    BGVP discussion thread DM7/ DM6/DMG and NEW BA series

    I have listened to my DM7 a fair bit this last week and they sound amazing. Sadly I am sensitive to the frequencies in the upper mids/lower treble that are a bit elevated on these and it hurts for me after a while. I have decided to sell them if anyone is interested. I have the blue ones and I...

    BGVP discussion thread DM7/ DM6/DMG and NEW BA series

    I just recieved pair of dm7 from linsoul yesterday. I have to say I’m very impressed comming from RHA t20i and Jays q-jays. As detailed as my q-jays but with much more bass and more natural timbre. I have yet to spend some more time with them but so far they sound amazing from my topping nx4 dsd...

    Verum Audio - Exciting high performance DIY planar

    Hi, has anyone tried these with magni 3? From what I understand, these change quite a bit depending on what is driving them. Also, I currently have a pair of hifiman he4xx and sony mdr-z7. Has anyone tried both the verums and either of these? I am on the verge of pulling the trigger on these...
