Qudelix 5K>Yin yoo cable >64 Audio Trio This set up has travelled 100k miles around the country over the last couple years. Never lets me down. Of course I only use Yin yoo cables with my Trio, only the best cables for the best IEMs I have heard.- 04gto

AUDEZE LCD XC
I have had my current LCD-XC since early 2021. While I find them intolerable without EQ, with EQ they are as good as anything I have heard. I am including things like HE-1, Susvara and many other high end headphones. I like them better than any headphone I have heard, except maybe the LCD-5 and...- 04gto

Audeze - Our Maxwell Gaming Headsets! (latest: Firmware v61 and HQ v97)
Back on January 16th I had the right driver fail on my Maxwell, so I emailed Audeze. They responded the next day and requested that I ship them my Maxwell. I received notice early last week that I would receive a replacement unit. It arrived today. Works great. So three weeks to the day after I...- 04gto

AUDEZE LCD XC
I had an earlier version of the XC (Bocote wood) and sold them because I was still searching for 'the perfect headphone'. A year and half later I bought the 2021 version and I will never sell these. I use them with my RME ADI-2 at home and on work trips. Heavenly sound with EQ. I have heard...- 04gto

Audeze - Our Maxwell Gaming Headsets! (latest: Firmware v61 and HQ v97)
I just received the Wicked Cushions yesterday. As for the sound: The frequency response difference is not small or 'slight' at all. It is huge. Maybe 4-5 db throughout the bass and sounds like a 3-4 db dip in the upper mid/ lower treble. Soundstage sounds wider, more spacious for sure (maybe 15%...- 04gto

Actually, I have been using some form of DSP (EQ) for thirty years for car audio, room correction and headphones, so I don't need to fiddle with it much. This LCD-XC has been with me since early 2021 so I have not touched my EQ settings on this (accept for an occasional twist of the bass knob)...- 04gto

LCD-X and XC Update
I weighed my stock metal headband and my Carbon fiber headband. CF was 16 grams less (maybe 19 grams, I posted it in this thread somewhere). Basically 1/2 an ounce. So, no. It does not make a difference. I didn't buy it for the weight savings though. I bought it to match by LCD-XC cups.- 04gto

RME ADI-2 Pro - DAC, Headamp, an a lot of more stunning features
I have owned every version of the ADI-2 series (except the Anniversary edition). Sound quality wise, they all sound EXACTLY the same. The only difference is the PRO models have more power and more output/input options. If you need the extra power of the PRO series then get one of those...- 04gto

The Qudelix-5K thread
I have previously experienced this many times. The culprit, for me, was the lightning connection was either dirty or the lightning cable was not getting a good, consistent connection. When I first had a similar issue, the solution was to simply clean the lightning connector. The second time I...- 04gto

Audeze - Our Maxwell Gaming Headsets! (latest: Firmware v61 and HQ v97)
I just got these today. I had heard these a couple times at CanJam SoCal 2023. Last week I purchased an open box Focal Bathys (which I also heard an CanJam). I already decided that the Maxwell sounded better, but wanted to hear them side by side. This is not even a fair fight.The Maxwell, to my...- 04gto
