Keep in mind, both T1 2nd gen and T90 lack in mids. I auditioned both and wasn't impressed, at least not at that price point.

  Thanks for bringing that up. I maintained the values but reduced the preamp until the red area under analysis panel reached to zero. Hope that has the same effect as bringing down the EQ values.

  The difference is very tiny and could be noticed mainly when listening to good or higher recording quality. I A/Bed the H10 + iBasso D14 as a dac against the D14 as a dac/amp. I used Google music 320kbps and the difference was very minimal, almost hard for me to tell and found that the H10...

If you don't mind a warm sound amp with some highs/micro details roll off then the Gustard H10 is very good. I love my setup iBasso D14 dac - H10 - 400I plus EQ applied. I apply +values for the highs to reveal details and lows to increase the bass impact and volume. With good recording, let...

My source is usually my windows 7 laptop > iBasso D14 as a dac > H10 > HE400i or DT770. I like to hear micro details and clear forward vocals with good lows and the 400i out of the box did not meet my hearing preference so I had to tweak and so far I like it so much

If my memory serves me correctly, to my ears, I didn't like LCD2, I thought it was warm, too mid forward and fake air but to be honest, I just spent few moments listening to it. I loved LCDX, without applying EQ, and I spent like thirty minutes total back and forth listening to it. As for the...

Thanks. Auditioned the T1 2nd gen at CanJam SoCal but wasn't impressed. Mids were recessed. I liked the T5p 2nd gen better. The HE400s was on the next table for which I grabbed and compared to the above 2 and enjoyed it better. The 400s was more fun to listen to.

Where?

How would the singles change the sound? Can someone describe please? How noticeable?

Your experience is similar to mine. It may open up a little bit, very slightly, but for my ears the H10 adds darkness/warmness. I liked the Asgard2 better, returned it because of excessive heat and thought to buy something better, as it was brighter and reveal details better. Everyone here says...

  So I ordered the extension cable below, 6', and very happy with it. Did not notice any change in sound quality. http://www.amazon.com/KabelDirekt-Headset-Extension-female-Series/dp/B00RXNUXGS?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Awesome. Thank you so much Jason. Will plan a visit soon.

Thank you. Gotta check out with him if I need appointment for headphone auditioning and if I can bring my own headphone for comparison.

I will. Do you know Jason's screen name on here?

Thanks for sharing Stillhart. Is this the one you are referring to? http://thesourceav.com/

Agree on what you said also can't argue with others about what they hear. Everyone hears differently, perceive differently and enjoys differently. All it matters is if you can justify an investment and if it does matter/make difference to you.

Thank you Chowmein. Fair explanation and that's all I wanted to know. I think I will pass the LC for the time being. As much as I love to have balanced setup but that will be something to explore in few months.

Thank you David. Let me see the extension cable will work. If I decided to purchase a replacement cable then I will message you about yours.

I haven't seen or remember seeing your post when I decided to buy a new cable. 3m good cable is costing $100+ and that's at least 25% of the phone cost which for me doesn't make a lot of sense at the moment. If the extension cable degraded the quality of the highs then either I will try to...

Thank you so much Bob for the offer. I am in LA. I already ordered one from Amazon like an hour ago and it should be here on Sunday. If I don't like it I will return with zero loss.

Thank you Crimguy. Just ordered 6' Kabeldirekt from Amazon

Thanks Coli. Pro audio LA don't have it and it doesn't look like Chromaleaf has it either. Was thinking to use like 4-6' extension cable and save a lot of money and try it out if there is any loss in quality

Thank you David. Gonna give it a try. Extension cables I am looking at all priced less than $10. I will order from Amazon for ease of return
