Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
What would be my weakest link in the chain? pc lossless, cd or spotify -> odac or udac3 -> vali, o2 -> hd650 I realize these are all entry level gear, but i got worried because i couldnt tell a difference between any of those in a blind test. For examble I compared odac + o2/vali to my...- sammy123

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
To my ears they were both kind of slow and wet in the lows. He-400 bass was tighter and more textured, bass was punchier on the 770's. he-400 seemed to integrate bass to the music much better, while somehow dt770 bass felt "subwoofery", like i had 2.1 system on my head. I suppose its sub bass...- sammy123

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
I owned dt770 80ohm and he-400 at the same time. He-400 has less bass quantity, but better quality. They both extend really low without dips. High's are way hotter on the he-400, to the point i find them really uncomfortable. Dt990 was unbearable for me. I dont have experience with the 250ohm...- sammy123

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80-Ohm Thread
That was my experience at first too. Sibilance got noticeably better during burn in for me. I did 300hours pink noise and random music mixed, and highs tamed nicely. I didnt listen to them during burn in period. After that i listened to them daily and i could almost swear they tamed a little...- sammy123

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
Its a new mounting ring used in he-560. I guess this latest batch came with those. Jerg said should be acoustically better than the old one. I did the mod now and the treble is much smoother now. Regarding my previous statement, i did some a/b testing and i indeed found velours to have...- sammy123

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
Yes i know that, but my pleathers have different mounting rings compared to velours(see pic). I was asking if those make any difference? Every jergpad pic i see sports different ring compared to mine. The ones i found on my velours.- sammy123

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
Hmm, do those differerences between mounting rings affect sound quality? Left one is velour, right one pleather. Just wondering which ones to use on jergpad mod. Every pic i see has the one from left pad.- sammy123

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
I looked into that and i might give it a shot. How far did you mod yours, im wondering if its enough just to make those extra holes and trim the rubber flaps without going further? I dont want to sacrifice my velours, they are darn expensive in here(eu), 35 bucks shipped. eq is the last resort i...- sammy123

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
Anyone else find the soundstage to be noticeably smaller on velour pads? Maybe its because mids have a lot more body to them and overall sound is smoother and dare i say darker. Thats weird though, that i find pleather to have brighter sound with a larger soundstage right? I could almost swear...- sammy123

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80-Ohm Thread
Such an awesome pair of cans. Propably my favourite, so good for movies and games. That sub bass! Funny thing is that i hate dt 990, while love 770 80ohm's. Treble is so much smoother on it, and mids are less recessed to my ears. Dt990 was bright, sibilant and shrill, went thru 2 pairs just to...- sammy123

[GUIDE] Sonic Differences Between DT770-DT990 Models & More
I already get very minimal pressure with these on, so not much headroom left. I briefly tried, but didnt notice any difference. Pressing downwards made soundstage smaller, so i guess im pretty "maxed out" with the soundstage. I wont be trying the premium model as they are 80% more expensive...- sammy123

[GUIDE] Sonic Differences Between DT770-DT990 Models & More
I feel like my dt990 pro just barely has a larger soundstage than my dt770 pro 80ohm. I have pretty "thin" face and therefore have very, very minor clamping force when i put headhones on. I thought this would play to my advantage, im really dissapointed with the soundstage now. I love my 770...- sammy123

Cambridge Audio DacMagic XS
So, how does this fare against odac, udac-3 or other similar priced dacs? I was originally going to go with fiio E10, its actually much cheaper but Dacmagic is available at my local store and i like the size of that thing. Its going to amp and replace my desktop and laptop soundcard. HD 650 and...- sammy123
