Jotunheim full discrete with comparable complex circuit + DC protection circuit + complex power supply unit? More about ->>

Full Score one is a very good headphone amp! This is an ‘inaudible amplifier’ - which means very, very close to the ideal of ‘a pice wire with gain’. I've been listening with this for a while now, even with different headphones.

DAC and headphone amplifier only. No memory for music? I would only like something with at least 500GB SSD storage.

I've asked similar questions in other threads, has anyone here compared the 660S2 with the 490 Pro and can report back?

Alcantara Pads? It would be too long to tell you all that, I'll probably have to visit Vienna. There is a lot of electronic expertise involved.

@Xerosnake90 I also have the Neumann NDH 30 or Sennheiser HD 490 PRO in mind. These headphones should round off my small collection (see signature) at the bottom.

DT 1990 PRO - now tested alternating analytical pads versus balanced pads (as quickly as I could change if I only have one pad clamping ring on the headphones, it's not always that easy, sometimes bounces out of the groove. I also need to practise threading them at the beginning). Listened to a...

Experience about HD 660S2 versus HD 490 Pro? Whats the differences? https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sennheiser-hd-490-pro-plus-coming.971458/page-38#post-18108710

With the DT1990 it depends very much on the piece of music whether highs (peak ~8kHz) interfere. These disturbing passages are also audible with other headphones (K712, K812, Composer, Hi X65), although not as intense. This is therefore also related to the mix. JRriver Mediacenter comes with an...

For me DT1990 (mostly with analytic pads) at most music I have no problem with treble, sometime I use 31 band EQ (from Apples macOS sound) -2dB at 8kHz - or the hardware filter modelled with paramatric EQ from solderdude...

Only comparing NDH30 with HD490 Pro are useful, both are open. In my opinion, they are like stepsisters. Unfortunately, there are hardly any opportunities to hear and compare them in a shop. You have to rely on the internet to at least get a rough overview.

Whats this headphone amp? Manufacturer or DIY. If DIY please more information about.

You post the same solution, I see this to late :slight_smile: Grados that I tried briefly were too warm for me after a short time, the open-pored foam was slightly scratchy. Reminded me of the ancient yellow Sennheiser HD 414 headphone.

Only solution AKG K1000 or Mysphere 3 :relaxed: :beerchug:

No closed composer seems to be planned at the moment. Example K812 versus K872 - what were the sales numbers of the K872? The people at Austrian.Audio still know exactly.

Is the only difference between the HD490 Pro and HD490 Pro plus that the HD490 Pro plus comes with more accessories? Are the headphones themselves identical? How does the HD490 Pro compare with the Neumann NDH30 or even the Beyerdynamic DT1990 pro or Amiron?

Even I get too warm during longer listening sessions. I reported this to the developers right at the start of the test. I know velour pads from AKG and Beyerdynamic, they also get warm but you don't sweat as much. Velours/Alcantara pads are apparently still a little delayed. The pads also have...

So far, there has been an open and a closed version in every Austrian.Audio headphone model series. Would also be desirable for the Composer. Especially in studios, closed headphones are needed for recording and open ones for recording control and mixing. Composer is also a supplement to studio...

As I am also interested in this, I will forward the question to AustrianAudio.

Sound - are HD 490 and NDH 30 "twins"? Are the installed capsules similar or even identical? According to reports, they seem to be angled on both.

I wrote about in this thread https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sennheiser-hd-660s-with-bigger-soundstage.898248/#post-18094056 soldertude tells HD 400 PRO and HD660S are very similar - is this right? https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/measurements/brands-s-se/hd490-pro/ HD 490 PRO...

What could you say about HD 490 PRO or HD 490 PRO Plus? soldertudes comment https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/measurements/brands-s-se/hd490-pro/ HD 490 PRO use a 4 pin mini-XLR, the same as Neumann NDH 30? Are the driver (capsules) from HD 490 PRO and Neumann NDH 30 similar too...

I usually use the Analytic Pads mostly with the DT1990 Pro. I've never heard Amiron Home. How does Amiron Home behave compared to the DT1990 in the region around 8kHz (Beyer Peak)? Is it about the same or is it more or less audible? In my experience, the Beyer peak is only noticeable in a few...
