I'm on my third pair of earpads with the HE-6. one pair of the included leathers and two pairs of focuspads. Any hints for durable and comfortable earpads for the HE-6? edit: sorry if i bumped the wrong thread.. :jecklinsmile:

nope. Just added a new button and some output indicators :grinning:

New output selector button on the rag 2 is amazing. Output selection is the function I use the most so this mean the only thing I found annoying is fixed. As for stacking difficulties with the yggy. You could always sell an IKEA style rack designed to fit 1x rag 2 on the bottom shelf and that...

There is still repair service for HE6 going on? Awesome. how much does it cost to fix a dead driver? asking just in case my pair breaks :) Hopefully repair services will be going on for a long time. Love my HE6. Currently using my HE-400i since my DAC is in for upgrades and I dont have the...

Still the same deal, it has to do with the bitrate and bit depth of the album you are playing and the one set in system settings. If the album you play has 44.100hz 16bit(CD quality), and your Mac is set to 192.000hz 24bit. your computer will up sample the CD. and depending on the sound card...

Im guessing the HE6se will sound exactly like the HE6 and that its just trying to cash grab on the HE6 market at the moment, people still pay release price or more for mint condition HE6. I payed 800usd for mine, with factory warranty an was offered around 1300 to sell it. Looking forward to the...

I feel like I am the only one using a ragnarok with the HE-6. Loving the sound I'm getting. Feels like the perfect setup. What I do miss is the comfort from the HE-400i ear pads. Anyone know if the focus pads change the sound notably from the stock leather pads? Only seeking increased comfort...

I'm not sayings "OH MY GOD ITS THE BEST AMP EVER" But I am saying that for what you pay for, you get a lot in one package for not a really scary price. Look at the price for a balanced integrated Class A headphone amp with enough power to drive the HE-6 And a balanced integrated class AB...

monoblock vidars for LS50 is alot! I have the Ragnarok/Yggdrasil/LS50 combo as well. Rangarok to me has an amazing value, end game balanced headphone amp and end game speaker amp. That thing is cheap

I would guess that you will not get any audible distortion using Hifiman EF-6, Schiit Ragnarok, Cavali Liquid Gold. all are below 100watts@8ohm. "Inaudible is inaudible and you don't get extra brownie points for making it twice as inaudible as another solution". - Kevin Haskins, Exodus Audio

As I said, its not a bad amp. and if you allready had one for speaker purposes I would have used one myself :)

Comparing dual monos and a single can be a bit hard. Balanced leads to a louder signal and switching cables takes time and since volume moves up with balanced and also with the double power, volume matching becomes hard. That beeing said, the ragnarok drives the LS50 nicely. It's not like you...

Why have a 250 watt @8ohm amp when a 50watt @8ohm one already has more power than what you will ever need for a HE-6. Why not go for something like a Hegel H80 integrated amp that has 75watt @8ohm.costs less, has quite a decent DAC or something completely different. If I had it laying around I...

LS50's big brother is the reference 1. R300 has more bass and is a little less refined. In a larger room with a limited budget the r300 is cool. In a smaller room I'd go for the LS50.

Just interesting that there is a difference. No one said why, as long as there is no convincing argument for either of them, I'm sticking to 24/44.1 :)

I picked 44.1khz because that's what most tidal albums show up as on the Yggdrasil. 16/44.1 two votes (theveterans, D2girls) 24/48 one vote (JootecFromMars)

When I'm not using the Yggdrasil with Tidal in exclusive mode. What should my Windows sound settings be? What bit depth and sample rate is most common in Netflix, HBO, video games, youtube etc? as of now I'm keeping it at 24bit, 44.100hz.

I was thinking about getting aftermarket pads since the glue on my left stock pads has loosened. but since my HE-6 is still under warranty, Hifiman is sending me a new pair or earpads. I think this was my favourite support experience ever since it was hardly an experience. just a mail or two...

Let me rephrase. If it was the only amp I had I would use it for the HE-6. But i would not buy it for the HE-6 if I didn't have it. The negatives with a to powerful amp can be (amp/preamp spesific): To little volume play. Channel imbalance at low volumes. Hiss with sensitive...

you are looking at 35watt at 50ohm with that amp which is wildly overkill, not saying it will sound bad, just overkill since you only need 1/7 of that power(Hifiman EF-6 has 5 watts at 50ohm) just out of curiosity. what percentage of max do you keep your amp when using HE-6?. balanced or...

32 ohm 62.5 watt 50 ohm 40 watt 300 ohm 6.666667 watt That's a lot of power.. I would not use that for the he-6.

Il probably end up getting it as well haha :)

Nice! Almost bought the Holo Spring LVL3 and the HD800 myself :) Also I have to ask, why are you using ECP DSHA-0(RCA) and the Magni 3? just to try the improved magni 3 since its cheap? And how are you finding the Loki Mini?

Regarding Vidar Monos Lets say you need around 3watts at 50ohms to listen at comfortably loud levels. Vidar monos put out roughly 70watts at 50ohm. if you have a 100step volume control and each step gives you 0.7watts, using only only 15% of the volume knob(10watts, max power of a Ragnarok) you...

I haven't been home for some weeks so I didn't actually finish testing and moving things around. will update with new 3d render(everything in scale) once I get home. What I do know is that I couldn't remove the foam inserts when having them close to the back wall, slams so much out the back of...
