HifiMan HE6 V2 Adorama
I just received my Lokius today and bumped up some of the sub-bass. All I can say is that this is end-game for me now.- richierich

Lossless Streaming Service you use (Poll)
I'm also trying out Apple Music on a trial and boy, you can't even sort tracks by date added on custom playlists. Wow huge fail. I think I'll have to go back to Tidal at this point.- richierich

Lossless Streaming Service you use (Poll)
I switched over from Tidal to Qobuz but seems like Qobuz is missing a ton of tracks that are available on Spotify and Tidal. Is there a way to sort tracks by date added in custom playlists? I tweeted Qobuz asking them this question.- richierich

Yes. I then compared it to a Jotunheim 2 and it was no contest. The Asgard 3 doesn’t have enough juice, which is why I upgraded to the Jot 2.- richierich

It has no problems driving them at all and the combo sounds amazing. Hopefully that sale comes back for the V2 again, it's a killer deal at $650.- richierich

Oh I thought it was mentioned that the Sundara hybrid headband wouldn’t work on the HE6SE V2 cups. I’ll double check.- richierich

I received my eBay honeycomb grills and they look great on my HE6SE V2. If you haven't removed your grills yet, what are you waiting for? Everything sounds even more airy and soundstage seems more wide / 3-Dimensional. These are amazing headphones that keep getting better and better with each...- richierich

Hifiman HE6-SE
Well at least you had a chance to try stuff out at the Schiitr! Sounds like something I'd like to do someday when I make my way down to SoCal again. The Asgard 3 is definitely warmer-sounding than the Jot 2 but there's something else that the Jot 2 improves on over the Asgard 3 besides just...- richierich

Hifiman HE6-SE
I feel like the Asgard powers the HE6SE V2 at the minimum needed to sound good (high gain only with not much volume control). You get more volume control with the Jot 2 if using low gain and everything sounds balanced in a linear fashion. High gain seems to make the sound more V-shaped with less...- richierich

I got my B-stock Schiit Modius in earlier today (I can't see any blemishes so must have been a return) and have been listening to the it connected to the Jotunheim 2 via XLR cables and all I can say is WOW. Low gain on the Jot 2 with this combo I usually have my volume knob set from...- richierich

You're limiting your audio quality with Apple Music. Try a Tidal hifi trial sub and you'll for sure hear a difference. I just tested one of your reference tracks, Early Morning Light by Sarah Jarosz on Spotify 320kbps quality and then played it on Tidal Hi-Fi. I already can hear a massive...- richierich

Schiit Jotunheim 2 - Impressions Thread
If you're wondering if the Jot 2 can power the HE6SE I can confirm they do. That means it can power most headphones on the market today (through the balanced output). On balanced output on low gain I use the Jot 2 at a sweet spot of 12 to 2 on the volume knob. This is the preferred setting and...- richierich

Hifiman HE6-SE
The Jotunheim 2 powers the HE6SE nicely. It seems that the sweet spot for this combo is at 12 to 2 on the Jot 2 dial on low gain. Everything sounds really balanced at that point. If I set the Jot 2 to high gain, I can only go up to 10 on the volume knob before the highs get to me but then...- richierich

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
I managed to jump on the Adorama $650 Hifiman HE6SE V2 deal and boy they are definitely the upgrade to the HE-400 that I was looking for. They bring the mids foward just a bit and the treble isn't as fatiguing. They need a ton of power though. Which is why I had to upgrade to the Jotunheim 2...- richierich

Ok I just received my Schiit Jotunheim 2 amp and will be testing it with my HE6SE. But after only a couple of songs so far it's definitely providing a better sound over the Asgard 3, since it's more powerful.- richierich

I must have ordered one of the few remaining HE6SE's from Adorama since they're back up to full price now and on backorder until 8/15/21. Good thing I ordered last night. This is going to be a very long week as I wait for the shipment to arrive.- richierich

I have the Asgard 3 too. I’m definitely going to upgrade to a more powerful amp in the future. But how’s the Asgard 3 + HE6SE? I pulled the trigger based off of your earlier post. And how’s the JLH1969 + HE6SE? Can you please link me the one you bought?- richierich
