Not sure how to check. I do know that I was streaming both at their highest setting, and at least with Deadmau5's 'Alone With You' there was a real, noticeable difference in SQ and I know Spotify streams at 320 at its highest setting.

Tried it on my Note 4 on the drive home. It's definitely a nice sound and I had no problems streaming through 4G LTE. I was mainly testing how well it could stream, so I wasn't paying too much attention to quality.    At home now and testing with the X3 as the DAC and Magni as an amp on the...

Listening to it right now. Tried it on my laptop via X3 in DAC mode (WASAPI) and Schiit Bifrost (also in WASAPI). I gotta admit, this thing sounds badass.   Playing Deadmau5 - Random Album title and seriously bad ass detail and clarity.   A few major issues:   * No ASIO support * There...

I have a Note 4. I was playing some mp3s on it though some Sennheiser Amperiors. Sounded pretty good to me.   I then played some HDTRACKS Led Zeppelin I 96/24 through Power amp and again, it sounded great.    Amperiors are very easy to drive and although the Note 4 can play music loud...

I tried out your settings for the Parametric EQ in JRiver with my own set of HD700s and HD650s. Loved both settings, and I do agree that the difference in much more pronounced in the HD700 than in the HD650.   It took a while for my ears to 'break-in' to the sound signature of the HD700, but...

I actually found a pair of Beats Pros in a classroom yesterday. After asking around, no one claimed them, so I decided to give em a try with my setup. For the record, my niece had a pair of Beats Solos which I also had tested a while ago. I tested the Beats Pros against my Sennheiser HD700 and...

I gotta say that after having my HD700s for a good long time, I am absolutely in love with them.   When I first got them, I thought they were a bit of a let down compared to my HD650s: the lack of bass compared to the HD650 astounded me, and I felt the detail, soundstage, imaging, etc were...

Would be worth it!   I have the following versions of LZ I: 1980s Barry Diament Masters 1994 Box Set (Grey Box) 2008 Box Set (The Japanese Mini-LP Remasters - Though I have the US release, so they are NOT SHM-CDs, but the same Remaster as the SHM-CD Japanese Mini-LP Remasters) 200g Classic...

Ooops!!! Wrong Thread

Money No Object:   1. HD700 2. HD650 3, Amperiors 4. Over Ear Momentums 5. On Ear Momentums 6. PX360 7. HD449 8. HD429   Price:SQ Ratio:   1. Amperior 2. HD650 3. HD700 4. On Ear Momentum 5. PX360 6. Over Ear Momentum 7. HD449/429 (its a wash)

I think its a fair request. The cans aren't cheap, and they were handled by factory technicians who I am sure are more than fully aware of how to handle the cans for any repair, so it might have been an accident, but nevertheless, the headphones shouldnt come back with any cosmetic defects that...

Yep, got mine from RazorDog a few months ago. literally the last place I found the 700s for $650 after Sennheiser raised the price up to $850. The headphones are most def worth $600-$650.

I guess I'll just let this thread die a slow and embarrassing death    Ok, how about this, short version: Is it worth getting the Schiit Modi for $99 if I already use the X3 as a DAC, and I am pairing it with the Schiit Magni, which I really love, to drive Sennheiser Amperiors and Momentums ...

Crickets on this thread I see :)   Admittedly, it was a long post and 'aint nobody got time to read all that!' But I didn't want to just ask "is the Modi better than the X3," cuz that's ultimately a matter of taste. I thought if I gave you guys a solid idea of my history with Schiit...

Hey guys,   Just a bit of background. My first 'portable DAC' was the HRT microstreamer. I always liked the HRT alot, but I always had a ton of issues with it and JRiver. When I got the MS, I already had the FiiO X3, but had yet to upgrade the firmware allowing the X3 to be used as a USB DAC...

I am absolutely ape **** over the UberBifrost DAC + Schiit A2 Amp + HD700 combo. The HD700 seems to pair well with Schiit products period. I also own a Loki for the occasional DSD listen and I use a Magni amp at my office, and sometimes I bring in my HD700. When the 700 is running off these...

I think I get it: Is it like before you got the HD800, the HD700 was (and is still) the better overall headphone than the HD600 AND different in term of soundsignature; but once you got the HD800 you felt the HD800 and HD700 are similar headphones in terms of overall sound signature, but the...

Really? I'm particularly interested in hearing what about the HD600 you like over the HD700. I also own the 700 and 650. My HD650s are my old favorites, they were my go to for over 2 years and I still love them, but I was absolutely blown away with the HD700s (when I finally paired them with the...

I do 

The great thing about Schiit products is that they have a 15-Day open return policy. Best thing to do is to try out both DACs if you can. Can your friend let you borrow his SimAudio? If so, they it would be really simply to just order the Schiit and return it if  you like the Sim better.   I...

Hope I am not too late. I did the A/Bing over the weekend. Overall the differences were so negligible that, if you said the differences were all in my head, I wouldn't argue with you. So here are my (quite possibly strictly psychological) impressions now that I have more experience with USB vs...

You and Rougue need to stop putting expensive ideas in my head!

Really? Now you are making me want to spring for a Lyr, what about a Valhalla? or a Vali? Maybe not a Vali for the HD700, but I'd be interested in it to see what it could do with my Amperios.   I absolutely LOVE the sound I get from the A2 and Magni, they both play so well with all my cans...
