nm i figured it out. direct sound, had to restart jriver. all good homies.

I know this is a novice question, and no matter how I worded my searches, I can't find the info I need. My problem is that when I'm playing music with the JRiver player, and have, say, Youtube, open, I cannot hear the audio from the youtube video. How do I allow multiple audio play? Again, I...

that's cool, but you're throwin some shade man. i read all about him prior to ordering via ebay, but he must take that account seriously because they showed up in less than a week. i'm happy with the cable, i ordered a ton of different adapters and such before i just decided to order the cable...

He lists them on ebay every now and then. Came to under 30$. Way cheaper option than moon audio's 80$+ piece of fancy wire.

      since i couldn't find any pics with this setup. Chord Mojo x X5ii x Dyson TRRS/TS (TRS wired for TS) clean.

i tried them again with the little screen poked out of a pair of comply tips, definite improvement in treble, but alas, like you alluded to, the mids are too recessed/hollow for me. i can't even find the silicone tips, none ever fit me, they always popped out of my ear. they work well for some...

A chord mojo :/

am i missing something? I have had these for years now, i use comply tips with a fiio cable, and i just never got good quality off these. i hardly use them, but then again, i don't use many iems, all mine are crap. (s4i, and some other random UE) is there some EQ tuning i can do? i upped the...

i wish i got time with that can. i should really make it to  can jam.

thanks for the info!

just had a listen to the dt990's vs 880's and the t90's all together. (nickel creek hq flac, mahler symph. 1 dsd64)  wow, i don't necessarily believe in burn in, but maybe that was the case, because my t90's sounded so much "cleaner" than those two. i straight up do not like the 990's at all...

thanks for the replies. I really should have known this, i was more or less wondering if tubes had any effect. anyways, it turned out to be the recording itself. (conor oberst - ruminations) it was intentionally lo-fi sounding. ( i even bought the 192/24 )

i wish there was a chat to ask this novice question, but can an Amp (desktop unit, or otherwise) turn down the noise heard from, say, a, x5ii or x3ii? or is it all in the dac? 

    no jubilee on these...

fyi. they were $229 when i bought them on ebay (brand new, with usa warranty). I'd think twice about purchasing on amazon.   edit: appears they're $239 now, but...

Fyi, the "chrome" version that buydig sells on ebay doesn't come with cd, and says chrome on box.

sounds good. i'm just using an x5 ii and a5 for now. still searching for the appropriate desktop amp for my liking. ( the x5 as a dac for pc works adequately for now ) i'll slap on new pads and see how it goes. 

I cannot go through 200+ pages, and perhaps my searching skills lack on this forum (where each headphone is discussed in a single thread) so I figured I'll just ask outright. Does burn-in temper the treble at all? I just got these cans in today, direct comparison within the first 2 hours vs the...

Thank you. I will check the bst threads and maybe meetup. Will check out the shures too.

As this is my first post, and I'm relegated to this section, why not post the question I originally joined this board for? After ghosting for months, researching for weeks, and ultimately, coming up with absolutely zero direction, I will leave it up to you guys to steer me in the direction I...
