does anyone know that focus pad or focus pad-a which is better for rock music? I like vocal, guitar tones and clear sound. I dont want unnesessary bass

finally I ordered an occ-copper balanced cable.

  you think that do I shall buy an aftermarket cable? I am worrying that the stock cable seems thin according to my xlr to 3.5mm female output adaptor cable.

  It works. it's original he-500 cable with balanced 3.5mm. it sounds like single-ended output with %20 more volume. but sound is same. I didnt like

.

Does it make a difference? I mean sound volume is good enough but ensturman seperation is not good. Sound is not clear. He-500 sounds bad. If I cut xlr jack after connect it he-500's original silver cable, will it be wrong?

now I have a silver balanced adaptör with neutrik. NFB-10.2 --> XLR --> silver wire (10cm)  --> 3.5mm output -> 3.5mm silver cable --> HE-500.  I'm very confused. Just %20 volume increased. nothing else. It supposed to be four times more volume than single-ended output.

  Mate. do you know about audio-gd nfb-10.2 filters? which filter do I need use for rock/metal music?

  you are a life saver! thanks bro. I use my he-500 with single-ended cable. I must get a xlr one. am I right? I mean for benefit superior sound quality from my device.

Hi broz. again it's me. now I got audio-gd nfb-10 and he-500 :) but I have tiny problem. I just cant play 24/96 or 24/192 music. I installed tenor 8802 driver from audio-gd site. and I use foobar with wasapi,kernel streaming, asio. Also my computer is very very old. it has usb 1.1 hub. what must...

I have nfb-10.2. I think I shall go balanced

thanks buddy

is there any difference between single-ended and balanced? is it worth to buy a new cable with balanced jack?

I have single-ended cable only :(

does anyone know that audio-gd nfb-10.2 is powerful enough to drive he-500?

I have HE-500 and Schiit Vali. so now I must buy a DAC. which one do you suggest? Dragonfly, Schiit Modi, ODAC, HRT Streamer II, stoner acoustics UD120. Which one sounds better with HE-500?

I ordered a Schiit Vali folks. Did I do wrong?

I am gonna buy a hifiman ef-1 tube hybrid amp. does it drive he-500 well? does it as good as emotiva mini-x ?

I have he-500 and sb audigy. I need an amp. 25$? Wow

Does anyone compared fidelio x2 and he-500? Which one better?

sounds how much good? if you rate your desktop amp 10/10, what would you rated E12 with HE-500? 6/10 or 8/10 or?

thanks mates.

Hi all. Does anyone tried Sansa Clip->E12->HE-500 setup before? I jut got my new HE-500 and I already have a sansa clip. So I through I can get a Fiio E12 just for a couple mounths just for trying. what do you suggest? thanks

I just have this amazing little device. currently I am running windows Xp and using dragonfly with asio4all. do I need install windows 7 for wasapi output? does it make a difference? which is better for me. asio output or wasapi output? is there a huge sound quality difference? thanks
