SJY Audio Starry Night Planar Magnetic Headphone
With my setup Denafrips ares 15th r2r DAC Cayin iha6 amp The SN V2 , moonlight sound absolutely gorgeous and phenomenal. But that's just my opinion and preferences. There's no issue with treble and they are pretty warm and very lush in the mids and the bass is amazing 😍- grailnewt

SJY Audio Starry Night Planar Magnetic Headphone
Any pad swap is likely to change a lot more than just the treble it might be easier to either eq or if possible use a little warmer source DAC/amp just my 2 cents But pads aren't really going to change the tonality/timbre much. They more will effect the bass/mids/highs response- grailnewt

HIFIMAN New Desktop DAC/Amps: EF500 and EF499!
The gain is the same on both yes the ef500 is actually louder than the 499 in most cases and not nearly as good in sq in my opinion. Both amps I'm pretty sure were designed to drive harder to drive planars...- grailnewt

Musicaldoc is correct if you have to pay customs fees and vat etc could be pretty costly... But if you can figure something out and get a website going id for sure order some heartland dynamics hehe been wanting a pair since I demoed them a year ago or something🤣- grailnewt

Would be nice if it was somehow possible to get kennertons outside Russia or close to Russia at the moment it's impossible and I don't see that changing anytime soon- grailnewt

HIFIMAN New Desktop DAC/Amps: EF500 and EF499!
Thanks for the correction UPnP is just universal plug and play it's not necessarily designed for audio not sure if that helps or not. It's more for things like printers keyboards etc ..- grailnewt

HIFIMAN New Desktop DAC/Amps: EF500 and EF499!
Explaining it would require a crap load of math every phone regardless of the model re-samples and up samples or down samples depending on the model and source... In that process bits get "lost" it's very complicated to explain but do some research on up sampling/ down sampling and resampling...- grailnewt

Meze Audio LIRIC - The portable isodynamic hybrid array headphone
My opinion is get the og liric I found the tuning of the liric 2 to be very strange in the mids especially. They were very pulled back... But that's just me.. the only real "improvement" imo was the pad replacement system and wood cups.- grailnewt

Comment by 'grailnewt' in item 'Denafrips ares 15th'
Just my own opinion but I think it is absolutely amazing. The depth of texture and musicality is another level. I've never heard music sound so good before from any multi-bit, fpga or Delta sigma dacs period. I've been an audiophile for 17+ years tested thousands of products etc. id be very...- grailnewt

HIFIMAN New Desktop DAC/Amps: EF500 and EF499!
I can only speak for my experience with a few r2r DACs the denafrips pontus had great imaging and separation as did the ares 15th using a pretty cheap amp with flacc/ alac source. I also briefly had a audio-gd and a holo audio may didn't like the audio -gd at all. The holo audio may was really...- grailnewt

I've personally assembled over 500 headphones for various companies over the years full bass is probably correct it's most likely a little bit of shifting in the membrane or the magnet housing if you warm it up a little bit before using it should be fine I think.- grailnewt

Personally speaking for 3-4k dollars for a pair of headphones that's just way beyond reasonable... I can get an amazing stereo system for that kind of money that regardless of how good the headphones are will never come close to... Just saying- grailnewt

I never liked the caldera either or the atrium the bokeh is pretty good though but that's just me.... My favorite headphones are usually warmer in general I own over 25 so not going to list them all but meze, SJY, kennerton, sivga, campfire audio, and a few others. Vinetta sounds pretty...- grailnewt

HIFIMAN New Desktop DAC/Amps: EF500 and EF499!
I can't speak to the ef-600 but in regards to the ef-499 /500 niether will suit your requirements you most likely need a more expensive dac such as audio-gd or denafrips or holo audio etc .... Just my 2 cents- grailnewt

That's a very interesting review and intriguing. However I have a similar experience with an r2r DAC with 95% of my headphones without charging anything else.... And it was cheaper than a 3-4k pair of headphones 😂 just saying sometimes charging something else in the chain is more effective. Note...- grailnewt
