I bought an Audeze LCD2 closed back today, will get it next week. I think looking at reviews that it share a similar curve with the Meze 99 classics (a bit bassy, soft highs, and a small peak on the vocals 1-2k) I'll do some opamps swaps on some of my favourite songs in DSD (Bon Jovi...

Hi all, I got my hands on my dual V7vivid and V7singles, and installed them on my SoundBlaster AE9 instead of the V6's (my headset is a Meze99 classics) Does they sound better? Hard to answer, because while they do sound different, is it better? The V6vivid where particularly detailed in the...

Bought a pair of V7vivid dual and a pair of v7vivid single through the upgrade packs (M180 use that) to switch my V6's vivids on my Sound Blaster AE9 Can't wait to see if i get improved sounding. I'm using a Meze 99 classic with it, and the previous combination with v6's is already great (a big...

You are right, Foobar is transcoding DSD to PCM by default. You can change the transcoding parameters in "Options->Tools->SACD" You should actually be in "Output mode ->PCM" For the best conversion, you should choose : PCM Samplerate ->176400 PCM Volume -> 0db LFE as-is DSD2PCM=Direct (64fp...

Don't forget that the Xonar uses a PCIEx1, and as such, you can put it in ANY PCIEx port, wether it is a x1, x4, x8 or x16 It won't fill the full length of the port x4 and up, but it doesn't matter, it'll still works flawlessly. You can't put it in a x1 port ? Put it in a x8 or x16. Doesn't...

Hi, i have an Asus Essence STX 2, and i have put 3 V6 Vivid inside. I'm using a Meze 99 Classics on the line out with RCA -> Jack adaptator. I recently bought a z390 Aorus Master motherboard, which includes an ESS Sabre 9118 with ALC1220, so that i could compare what ESS can deliver. Result...

Hi, i've upgraded my STX2 with 3 burson V6 Vivid opamp, and the sound is outstanding, both in terms of details and audio separation. It's really a huge improvement over my (already not that bad) z390 Aorus Master audio output (wich uses an ESS 9118 and ALC1220) The only drawback on the burson...

If you don't have PCIe 1x slots available, just use a PCIe 4x slot or a PCIe 16x slot, it will perfectly works. In fact you can put a PCIe 1x card in every kind of PCIe slot.

Burson V6 Vivid received and installed on my Asus Essence STX2 The sound using foobar and asus ASIO is simply perfect for my taste. Highs are really precise, and bass sounds really deep. With stock opamps, sound was good, but not that smooth and clear on high. Nice improvements :D I'm using a...
