Hello guys, Currently, my speakers are connected via TRS, and the cable is dying and also catches noise sometimes. So I thought that maybe it's time to try XLR. My card has one XLR headphones out (it also has a TRS out, etc.). And my speakers have XLR, TRS & RCA inputs. I didn't find long "1...

Hello guys, Have you seen any links where somebody tested headphones' frequency response before and after burn-in? UPD. Well, I found this test: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/learn/break-in UPD2. I personally don't believe in burin-in, it's just this subject was raised in my recent...

Update after 3 months of use: Absolutely love them! :)

Hi guys, Update after a month of use. I'm getting used to their brightness. They sound much less bright to me now. Love them even more now :)

Hi guys, Do you know if it supports ASIO? if yes, do I need a driver? Can you link it please? Or any other way to use ASIO with this DAC & foobar?

Not very loud. Medium volume I'd say. I'm afraid I will ruin the XLR socket/cable end if I plug & unplug multiple times a day...

Hello, I own HIFIMAN HE1000 v2 (planar magnetic). I have a passive switch that turns my speakers on or off, but it doesn't turn my headphones, when my speakers are on (and I listen to speakers). So while I'm listening to my speakers, my headphones are also playing. How bad is it for them? Let's...

I personally don't think that the stock opamp is mediocre, I tested this dac with a stock amp against multiple other competitors. For $40 it's a no-brainer sound-wise.

The biggest problem for me would be controlling the battery charge. And keep in mind it's not a very good option to use a desktop card, because it can't draw power directly from USB, it will have to go through the battery and cause recharge cycles. If you're going to use it as a portable dac/amp...

Guys, any recommendation for a headphone stand for HIFIMAN HE1000?

Yes HEKV2 needs more power than Arya Stealth. I just had both a week ago.

Guys, any recommendation for a headphone stand for HIFIMAN HE1000?

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. And God wanted to rest on the seventh day, but God felt it wasn't time to rest yet. And so he created HIFIMAN HE1000 v2. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and...

Ok, guys, SO, after 2 evenings of comparing HIFIMAN HE1000 v2 vs Sennheiser HD800S, I'm choosing.... ...HIFIMAN HE1000 v2!!! Just now I've been listening to HIFIMAN HE1000 v2 for 3 hours straight and they don't annoy me (at least not as much as I expected). I think that technically HE1000 is a...

Oh, I wish! I'm thinking if I really need that 2nd kidney :)

Guys, how do I choose between 2 headphones, sent from Heaven? (HE1000 & HD800S) :) I can't... after 2 evenings of listening solely to these 2... I can't... They sound very different. 1 track I choose HE1000, another track I choose HD800S, etc.... Well, since my main problem with HE1000 is their...

Btw, there's a big difference between HD800S & Drop + Sennheiser HD 8xx. The Drop variant sounds much more... muffled? (English is not my native language), HD800S sound significantly clearer.

Btw, here's a story about how I decided to upgrade my Beyerdynamic DT 990 Premium. I love my Beyerdynamic DT 990 Premium, and even now, after a lot of tests, I still think they are absolutely one of the best options in the $500 price range. But recently my Fiio X3 player broke, and I got myself...

Btw, guys, while I'm still testing & choosing, I want to say that I greatly appreciate your support! I'm immensely excited about this upgrade and it's such a huge decision for me, and I'm so glad you're here to share your experience with me. Thank you!

I don't want to change my xDuoo DAC/AMP anyway, I just got it in July and I love it. Also, I don't think it's my dac/amp's fault, since all the other headphones I tried on it are less bright.

Yes, that's what I'm afraid of :( For example, in some songs vocals can sound a little annoying on HE1000 :(

I didn't discount it, it's on my list, but after a couple of days of testing, it's behind HIFIMANs & HD800S to my taste.

Yeah, I think 2-4 db sub-bass increase can be good for HD800S. I use standard EQ with frequency bands (in Foobar). The problem is I also often listen to music on my KRK speakers, so if I go the EQ way, I will have to turn it on & off when I switch between speakers & headphones :( If the Arya are...
