Well I bought some third-party (don't want to advertise) earpads which are both thicker and made from microsuede. While it still doesn't sound as good, it sounds better. Having the speakers not be so close to my ears along with slight sound isolation from the different material, the sound...

Am I alone in thinking the Audio-Technica ATH-AD900x are a bit lackluster and boring? I got tired of using my Sennheiser HD598 as beaters but didn't want to use my ATH-AD900 as beaters so I went with the 900x since the originals are discontinued. They aren't bad, but they aren't great. They...

Just wanted to pop in here and say thanks for the information on the FiiO BTR3K. I came across the BTR3 about a week ago on a few sites and bought it on Amazon. Today I stumbled here (did I miss the mention of it on this site or did this site now show not show up? I don't know, glad it did now)...

I know that would be ideal, but I am still curious about the active EQ in DHT4. BTW, the U7 MKII doesn't sound bad at all, that wasn't what I was getting at. In fact it sounds fantastic and has a feature over the Dragonfly (which I was also considering), true ASIO support. My FLAC files sound...

So the live/active/automatic (whatever it's called) Equalizer that came with DHT4 didn't work or sounded like poo-poo? That was the one feature that I wanted, not sure how it worked on the Xonar but on my Denon, Audyssey (active EQ) works great

Thanks! I can't really say which I prefer because I haven't used the 595's in a while and have gotten used to the 598's. I am annoyed however with Senn over this graph. Their impedance are way off, granted this is for different cans but I'd imagine similar for others as well...

Saw some discussion surrounding the MKII and just to let everyone know, I purchased the U7 MkII because A) It was all I could find, B) MKII would imply that it is superior. Minus some minor chip upgrades, this has turned into a major disappointment. The software is lackluster and no longer...

New to forum, have a moderate audio knowledge but no expert. Own Sennheiser 595 (Beaters), Sennheiser 598 (Work cans), and AudioTechnica AD-ATH900 (Music Listening-Home). I have two entry level devices but they suit my needs, PA2V2 and Xonar U7 MKII. Feedback: Well this has been an unpleasant...
