Just to clarify for those asking the topping d70s dac tamed my highs entirely. It also has an akm chip if that matters

This is entirely accurate from my experience as well

I returned the LCD5. Too clinical for my taste. Impressive headphone nonetheless but I couldn't enjoy it post wow factor

:raised_hand:

The Magnius cables brought my lcd5 to life. I'm in love.

My reterminated Magnius cable from Arctic cables arrives this week after two months of waiting 😬

26 Days. My brain has never adapted. It takes awhile of listening to adapt a bit but still never sounds right.

Does anyone have a tiny issue with the tonality of the LCD5? I love everything about the sound but it sound a hair unnatural to me as if I am listening through an artificial layer and I'm actually thinking about returning them because of it. Does my chain have anything to do with it or does...

So most of those are peak/dips and the third entry at 80hz is a low shelf?

Does anyone here have @resolves EQ and which program he uses?

Does anyone know how these compare to the blessing 2? I have a few totl headphones but I'm new to iems. The galaxy buds pro blew my expectations away. I will be using them for music listening, and for listening to my electronic drum kit while singing via my mixer. I do have a decent...

So I put the Burson Soloist 3x in power amp mode. Holy Crap. All of the issues I've been having with the amplifier not supplying thump/slam to my LCD5s went away. What the hell?

7hz Timeless vs Moondrop Blessing 2 Does anyone have the two iems to compare the sound? I'm in the market for one of the two. I do generally prefer planar for my overear headphones(LCD5/HE1000 v2) but need some iems for portability. I have a portable amp/dac to drive whichever.

I will be honest. I have 0 issues with comfort and I wear glasses. I will have to readjust the cups every few hours but I've worn them for multiple 10 hour listening sessions without an issue 😅. I don't get the fatigue either. The biggest downfall of the cans imo is the power required to drive...

What don't you love about it?

With the numerous amp choices it can be a challenge to pick one lol

I am eyeing these two amplifiers for my LCD5. Does anyone have any recommendations between the two? I know the LCD5 love current

Looking for a professional microphone to use for recording audio (vocals) Does anyone have any experience or recommendations?

I want a bird to sound like a bird.

Does anyone know how power delivery differs between a 1/4 and XLR? I've been going between the xlr and 1/4th lcd5 stock cable and the burson seems to play nicer with the 1/4". Not sure if it's placebo but the sound is more alive to me but not necessarily cleaner. It should just be two...

I purchased a tube amp from that post :) Looking for a very analytical amplifier for movies/games/mixing

Hey Headfi, Currently running my Burson Soloist 3X to my LCD5 and am looking for something with a little more clarity because of how insanely detailed these are for certain applications. I love the Burson for my Hifiman he1000v2s they synergize very well with the additional warmth that seems...

I'd say skip the Arya personally especially if the Ananda is underwhelming. I've heard very good things about the HeK v2

Movies the Arya wins hands down. For gaming the Arya soundstage is too wide. The Ananda is perfect for gaming and positional audio. I prefer the Ananda tonality over the Arya for music. What are your music genres?

For gaming it's the Ananda hands down. You cannot game with the Arya
