Hope this thread not dead... Is there any reason the 2020 would have less headroom that the pro? I have both and the volume on the pro is much higher than it is on the 2020. I checked gain everything else even rest both. Inspects the outputs the same did I get a bad unit? Never mind.. found...

Any idea what the "VELVETSOUND" is on the chips in this AKM4497 DAC chip? I assume it is a tuning approach and since it is also listed on the chip manufacturers site I guess its a AKM Tune. I am a Hiby fan I love my R6 Pro.

I did a search in thread and not see this come up (yea I coulda missed it) Anyone running these with a Kann Cube and/or and Hiby R6Pro? How is the match in your opinion? I listen to all genres other than Country and Gangster with a lean toward classic rock. For a years I could not find...

Yeah we did it's really a great unit surprised how good it sounds even with the built in phono amp. tricky to set up cuz you got to do the tonearm setup but once you get to dial in. then it sounds way better than any of the entry-level audio-technica's I've had

I though there was a "deals" forum but for the life of me I could not find it (at work with limited time) Beach Camera has the TEAC TN-400S turntable for 239 (in black only). Not what TT heavy hitters call top-notch, but at that price, it has a great cartridge, decent phono stage (with...

I cannot see in the app and 99% of stuff on the web refers to the windows app.. Very little to find on the android app.. Maybe I will e-mail them

Not sure.. How can I tell?

I am using Onkyo DP-X1a with the onkyo player app (awesome SQ) which unfortunately has no volume leveling (i.e. replay gain) and when running a playlist through an external speaker (usually NHT M00's) the volume changes between tracks is a real pain. On the headphones, it is not as bad because...

Not sure on the re-cabling, But since they have been out less than a year and have a year warranty contact NHT.   I got a pair for the kid and one side went dead.  NHT sent out new ones same day we called, even before they got the broken buds back.  It was easy, they did not need case, or any...

I liked em.. but the kid saw em, so i do not get to use em anymore  

Latest e-mail   Great news! The first shipment of SuperBuds will arrive at our warehouse tomorrow (December 9). We will start shipping Wednesday and expect to fill all orders by Friday. If you're thinking of sending some of these as holiday gifts and haven't ordered yet, now's the time to...

The site says between 25th and 28th of November

Doubt that is NHT trying to make the discount go away for international customers, usually more customers is good. These guys have always been fair.. the fedex software is pumping out that number..

I own a few NHT speakers and they are outstanding, especially the M001 monitors which are no longer available. They are entering. Into the earphone market this fall with Superbuds.. should be interesting as these guys are a small shop that is really into audio...

The issue with comparison questions is that people really need to have owned all three otherwise they are just regurgitating what they have read in other reviews.  Now, when you are talking MAJOR POPULAR models like DT880 vs HD650, you will find plenty of people who have tried/own both.  You...

  It is mostly a volume thing.  Many recording from the late 1920's I have are (Purposefully) not remastered and tend to be a tad low volume on playback.   Also.. When at medium volume levels and plugged into my Denon receiver,  the phones seem more full then when used through the...

Thanks for all the help.. I plan donate here because you guys save me money and time!!  If I can find a link for donations   One more for the road.. I need a USB amp to drive these.. the 250's sound good with my Dragonfly, but it is obvious there is more to be had here.   For reasons I...

Thanks Guys.. Due to to pretty substantial box damage I am getting them RMA'd because I really do not know how loose is looser than normal (they make popping sounds with just a minor twist putting them on)   If the new pair are the same.. I will live with it. because I love them already and...

So I got my 880's.. I think they are great for rock!     But I have a question.. the cups feel sloppy.. If you push the ear cups all the way in (up) hold the headband in you hand and open it up so the cups do not ouch.. do they drop all the way out on their own?   Thanks.. The box was...

Got the DT800 250 premium (I have a big head and do not want a strong clamp) off Amazon Warehouse "Like New" for 265.00 USD.     The Headroom description said the Dragonfly can power headphones up to 300 ohms.     So I am going down the road Argyris suggested and making due with the...

Thanks Guys.. All great info.. many of my purchase decisions were helped through Head-Fi forums.   Stinks that its so hard to just audition equipment, even in a big city (Chicago).   Rat

Thanks Chris..I hope this info helps..  I used the 1/8 rule by multiplying the 32 X 8.. was over 250 (was 256)   According to specs AQDF outputs..     Output voltage: 2vrms Minimum driven impedance  (headphones, electronic input): 12 ohms Maximum headphone driver output power...

PurpleAngel I do have that set-up (kinda) using a TB Audio Advantage out of my notebook to get optical into the Denon, but its rare I get commandeer the A/V system for any extended listening.  :o(   Thanks for taking the time and offering a creative solution.

Hey guys.. I am not asking the same question in different threads (OK I am), but I realized that posting this question here in this thread may get some replies with actual experience.   I want to get a set of DT880 250 premiums for Classic/Folk Rock, Metal, blues and I am using a AudioQuest...
