I think positioning for up and down is not as clear in general for VSS technology currently. I personally like ultrawide with the HD800 but then again I play different games like Escape from Tarkov and R6 Siege.

I used Peace Equalizer. I downloaded a HD800 preset made by Metal571 which toned downed the HD800's fatiguing peaks. I have not installed the SDR mod on my HD800 but I have heard that it gives the best sound signature without the need of using an EQ.

I just received the G6 and here's my initial impressions and opinions after using it for a few days. I know I'm not a professional audio reviewer or anything but as a heavy FPS player I hope this insight becomes helpful for you gamers out there. (this is also from the perspective of a PC gamer)...

It's relatively cheap to create (steps in the original thread) the resonator but you have the option to buy it directly from the creator of the mod. (check the original thread) It's really easy to install however, I think it will void the warranty. The mod itself can be undone so if you do not...

Ok gotcha, thanks for your help.

Ok great thanks, Assuming something like this would work then: https://www.amazon.com/Velleman-PSSMV1USA-3-12Vdc-Switching-Supply/dp/B00068U44I/ However this is also from amazon haha.

A recent deal on eBay has allowed me to purchase the stax SRS-3100 (stax 252s and L300) I know that the Japanese made headphone uses voltage from Japan and it is different from the US. I am worried of damaging the driver so I heard that you need a step down voltage transformer. I have read...

@ProtegeManiac I wanted to get a good solid state amp to build my base. Then get a decent tube amp to get the "tube sound" that drives/scales the HD800 and the ZMF Eikons well. Also, heard tubes take awhile to warm up, having a magni amp wouldn't hurt. Also thanks for suggestions...

@Monsterzero I own the 250 ohm for the DT770s. So the mimby (will fulfill my entry dac) along with the magni (seems like a good deal to have for an entry SS amp) used are around $250. This leaves around 550 for the tube amp. I will take a look at the La Figaro, the GOTL being something for a...

Update: I have tried the cascades the bass kicks hard but is refined enough to not lose details. However, the comfort of the headphone was not to my liking. Decided to go with a used pair of ZMF eikons instead.

Hello, I recently upgraded/entered what is considered my current "endgame" of headphones. From my AKG-K701/DT 770 I upgraded to HD800 SDR/ZMF Eikon (padauk). I was planning on getting the Mimby + Magni 3 + Valhalla 2 for my DAC, solid state amp and tube amps needs. (these total for around...

Hello all, I am looking for a good pair of music/movie headphone around the 700 dollar range. I would prefer closed back as I do not like leaking audio and I have many computers with fans running. My current headphones include: the beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 250 ohms for music/movies and fun...

My current game right now is rainbow six: siege and I have played competitive overwatch in the past. And for buying new higher grade headphones before getting a higher grade dac/amp i can totally understand. My reasoning is to go decently into a dac/amp combo and to buy a decent headphone (in...

concerning dacs, im not sure if i currently have any preference since this will be my first dac aside from the built in dac from my stx that i will own/listen through i checked and i do not think the xonar stx essence 1 has a optical out for my competitive fps games i usually use the dolby...

Hey all, I currently own a Asus Xonar Essence STX I soundcard and was thinking of upgrading to an external dac/amp. The one I have in mind is the Schiit Jotunheim w/ Multibit DAC. My current headphones are the AKG K702 for competitive FPS gaming and the Beyerdyanamic DT770 Pro 250 ohms for...
