    Denon AH-D5200 (little brother of the AH-D7200)

    Hey, I have the D5000 and like them very much. But there's one problem, my girlfriend likes them very much, too. So we need a second one. I'm not big fan of buying used headphones if they're not in a really good condition. So I saw that there are some good black friday offers for the D5200 and...

    FiiO&JadeAudio Dynamic Driver IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread

    I tried it a couple of days ago. I'm constantly switching between these EQ settings and the crinacle settings which are integrated in the Qudelix 5K software and can't figure out which I like more. But I also like the original FD5 sound.

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    Hey, I could get a Denon D5000 quite cheaply, which is also still in really good condition. Is the D5000 good for metal (black, technical death, progressive, stoner/doom) and would be a good complement to the Sundaras that I have?

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    I liked the 700 Pro X, but the Sundara and the D5000 are way better (in my opinion). Long story short, the Sundara (with little bass eq) and the D5000 are different but both excellent headphones. Actually I didn't want to have two. But now here I am and I think, I have to keep them both.

    Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)

    Hey, I have the Sundaras for a couple of days now and I'm quite happy with them. Only thing is, sometimes I miss some bass. I tried several auto eq presets for the Sundara (oratory and crinacle) in the Qudelix app but I didn't like them at all. Has anybody an idea how to set the eq when I...

    Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!

    Perfect, thanks. Just ordered some rip offs and some original Fostex TH-900 pads. Another question: Is it normal that the D5000 sit quite loose on the head with almost no clamp? And is it normal that the adjustment for the headband is also very "loose"? It changes with almost no effort or even...

    Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!

    Hey, I have two questions regarding the D5000. How can I remove the ear pads? Just pull hard? They are quite tight. And can I get anywhere new, "original" ear pads? Original would be great but I don't know how good the knock offs are that are sold everywhere. Thanks for your help :)

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    Hey, I'm using the 5K with my IEMs as a bluetooth amp and I'm really happy with it. In 2022 I want to dive into the headphone world and the first thing that came to my mind was if the 5K is "strong" enough as a standalone USB DAC or if I should invest in a bigger, non-mobile amp?

    Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)

    Hey, I got the Sundaras today and drive them with a Qudelix 5K and want to change the cable to a balanced 2.5mm one. Can somebody recommend a fairly cheap and good cable? Thanks.

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    Just a quick update since I got the Sundaras today. They sound quite lovely in combination with the Qudelix 5K. Don't miss bass right now after almost 2 hours of listening to some metal genres. Looking forward to compare them to the Denon D5000 and the D 700 Pro X.

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    Sounds good, thanks. I get the Sundaras tomorrow and next week the Denon D5000 and the D 700 Pro X. First time in my life really listening to music with headphones then, after that I can probably tell more what I like and what not.

    At the moment I only have and use the FiiO FD5 and I really, really like them.

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    Thanks. I just ordered the 700 Pro X and I can lend the Hifiman Sundara from a friend of mine. He said with a little bit EQ of the bass they kill every headphone he owned (he just has the Sundaras right now). Let's see :) Edit: And my father has a Denon AH-D5000. So three headphones to test...

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    Damn :darthsmile: Anything that goes in that direction? So emphasised bass, engaging and fun sound signature, no sibilance?

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    Hey, coming from IEMs I have no clue or knowledge about headphones. But I want some. And now I need your help :) What do I like? - I like a big, warm sound with emphasized bass, I enjoy when it rumbles and goes deep - The bass should be fast and precise (especially when I'm listening to...

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    Does anybody use QX-feed (Crossfeed)? I see the point what it should do but in the end the sound just gets more narrow (for my hearing).

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    Yes, I'm using an iPhone respectively a MacBook most of the time for listening to music. So when I understand you right I can leave the settings as they are?

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    Hey guys, I have the 5K and I'm quite happy with it but never cared about the settings. I have a few questions since I'm using the 5K just with Apple Music (via USB and Bluetooth) and I want to get the best sound out of it. The setting in Apple Music is losless (ALAC up to 24 Bit / 48 kHz)...

    IEM for metal music and hard rock - ultimate solution

    Hey guys, I'm looking for IEMs and since I listen to metal 70% of the time (15% other music and 15% series/movies), I wanted to ask for recommendations here. I was able to listen to the Fiio FD5 with the wide nozzle the other day and I really liked it. Tight, fast, emphasized bass, no "canny"...

    Thanks. But I would definitely prefer the original FD5 cable. @FiiO @FiiO Kang Is there no chance to get the FD5 cable? Mine is definitely broken.

    FiiO&JadeAudio Dynamic Driver IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Can I buy the FD5 cable separately somewhere? I unfortunately have the problem that the MMCX connector on the left side no longer holds properly in the IEM, after a few minutes or a few movements with the head it just falls out. I have already contacted the dealer for a complaint...

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a replacement cable for the FD5. Love the looks of the cable (white with silver), but it's just too stiff and inflexible for my taste. Which inexpensive cable (with the same looks and that it should be very soft and flexible) can you recommend? Thanks

    FiiO&JadeAudio Dynamic Driver IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Hey, I want to buy some custom In Ear tips from Custom Art and the need to know the nozzle size of the larger tubes of the FD5. On the Fiio website says "the outer diameter is 5.8mm, suit 4-5mm ear tips" so I'm not sure which exact size I should tell Custom Art. 4.5mm? Or something different...

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    Perfect, thanks. Honestly, I don't hear any differences between Lossless and High Resolution Lossless. I just were irritated because some member of MacRumors wrote, that if your DAC doesn't support 192 kHz you shouldn't use the High Resolution Lossless because the result is worse than using...

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    I'm using the new M1 MacBook. I've read that with the Audio-MIDI-Setup, but when the Qudelix is connected to the MacBook, I can't change the setting, it's locked in on 24 Bit/96 kHz. Also in the audio system information of the MacBook there's always sample rate 96 kHz, no matter which setting...
