I also get the "out of your head effect" with SXFI, but there is too much reverb for my taste...

The Waves NX app lets you choose the "Output Device" (in "Settings"), I just select "SXFI amp" and thats it...

Same here, I bought the SXFI amp in January, absolutely hated the SXFI effect (too much reverb, bathroom sound, etc), but I use the amp (SXFI off) in combination with WavesNX and am very satisfied. The sound quality of WavesNX is simply great: transparent and clear...

Thanks! And maybe I should send a "fan" mail to Waves, asking if they have plans to licence the "Sonaworks Reference" headphone database for Nx... :)

That's a great example, and some of the stranger dungeons in BB actually sound like this, lol... Maybe I should order a Mobius. There is so much in the whole "package" (planar hp, dsp, dac, amp, head tracker) that the price is more than "ok"... :) Do you think they will support the Mobius over a...

That sounds great - I have never tried planar/electrostat headphones, so I cant even imagine the difference. The Mobius seems to be a great package. The only downside is, that some people say, it has some kind of background noise. When I am using NX now with my Beyerdynamics and an external usb...

I did not find a perfect solution, but LoudMax helped me a little bit. Sadly, I am the wrong guy to ask about how to set the plugin the right way; I am just an "end-user" with the same problem. If you happen to find a solution or a good VST plugin for EAPO, please post it here too! I will do the...

Sorry for my late reply - I was extremely busy over the last weeks. I hope you are doing fine... Yes, dark grey uniformity of current OLED TVs is bad. 5-20% grey has vertical banding and DSE; 50% grey and upwards is perfect. The problem is that all consumer OLED TVs are whiteRGB screens; the...

Wow, thanks, now this is what people call a "home cinema"! The pulldown shades on the sides of the screen are great. One day I will have a room like that and I will watch my favorite movies in such a setup... :) The OLED (LG C7) has some downsides, like vertical banding in dark grey areas, but...

Hallo again and sorry for my late reply! I have been away for two weeks. First of all: Thank you for all your tips! I have now tried your recommended settings in the EqualizerApo and this really is a step forward in sound quality! I have also tested OOYH again (despite the lag with my old...

I upgraded to a 4K OLED two years ago and that was a mistake, because suddenly I need to render games at 4K/60fps (there is no going back from 4K). At the moment I am waiting for the 2080TIs to drop, 1300€ is just too expensive (especially when Raytracing and DLSS are not usable). A projector...

Thank's again! I did never touch equalizers (and other sound related things), because I know that it's extremely easy to "destroy" the sound quality, when you don't know what you are doing...like me :). And I simply don't have the time at the moment to learn those things. So I am dependent on...

Ah, yes, we have "met" on AVS before, you have got a very good thread for VSS there! :) I tested OOYH again some weeks ago, because the SXFI amp was such a disappointment and because of your thread; sound quality is really great, but I have some noticeable latency, it's somehow distracting when...

Thank you very much! Yes, I am using VSS for headphones, but it's still uncomfortable. At the moment I am using "DolbyAtmos for Headphones" (W10) or the older "Dolby Headphone", I have also got the new "SXFI Amp" but the VSS has a horrible sound quality and OOYH has too much latency for gaming...

I am using Beyerdynamic DT 770 (80 ohm); I have got other, better HP but those are open and I can only use closed HP for movies/gaming. Thanks for the tips! The Windows compressor gets everything on the same level and that destroys the sound design. I am looking for a compressor/limiter to...

Thank you! I have never used a compressor and the parameters (attack, decay, compression level, threshold) sound a little cryptic to me. Do you know a simple software compressor with little to no latency? For example: Has the EqualizerApo a build in compressor?

Hello, I always listen to movies/games with headphones on a very high level to get all the details of the background sounds (wind, rain, footsteps, distant sounds etc.) and to immerse myself in the soundscape. The problem: Movies and games are mastered in a way that those immersive background...

Thats great to hear. I will get the amp on monday - cant wait to finally try it out!

Thank you, that is very helpful! The DT 770s are closed-back, in contrast to the 880s and 990s, maybe thats the reason? The Sennheiser HD 280 Pro are also closed-back HPs... Btw: You have the DT 1770s? Are they good for VSS (especially compared to the DT 770s)? I like the 770s for VSS...

Great idea! Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (80ohm) -> What would you recommend? Thank you! Btw.: Do you know how to set the "Gain" on the SXFI-Amp (16,32,300,600 ohm)?

Some basic questions: 1.) How do I set the "amplification gain" (16 ohm, 32 ohm, 300 ohm, 600 ohm), there is no dedicated button or setting in the app. The manual also doesn`t mention the 3x amplification gain at all. 2.) Can the SXFI app play 7.1. files, like [1]? 3.) If not, is there a way...

Strange, it is not mentioned that a micro USB adapter is included. Everybody only reports that an USB C to C cable is included. Even the official FAQ says: "For Android phones with a USB Micro-B connector, use a USB Micro-B OTG adapter and the provided USB C-to-C cable to connect. Make sure...

Your adapter supports OTG, but there is no info on your cable. Maybe the cable also needs to support OTG. I bought this cable [1] on Amazon.de. My SXFI Amp is coming this week and I will report if this "USB C to Micro USB OTG cable" works. Two questions: - Is only a "USB C to USB C" cable...
