New firmware 7.5 has been released, does it affect the sound?

In the end, Venus remains a goddess)))

Venus can be bright and blinding at high frequencies. She can also be a calm goddess. Now I’m listening to my beloved and beautiful Alizee ❤️❤️ The sound of the concert was recorded pleasantly, there are no too high frequencies. The sound stage on Venus is simply amazing, it is vast 🙂

Truly an amazing studio recording, I can’t stop listening to it. Venus sounds great, sparkling a little blindingly :) If you find recordings with great sound, don't forget to publish them. :smile_phones:

Indeed, in the third minute, this magic scared me, it sounds natural. :relaxed: Here are some more beautiful magic bells. Vangelis Alpha. I have sensitive ears to high frequencies (bells), but here the recordings sound pleasant, strange magic perhaps. :beyersmile:

Music suits these headphones)))

Venus, with its three-dimensional scene and sound resolution, made me completely re-listen to the songs of my youth. They seem like simple songs, but the way they sound on Venus is amazing. Amazing effect, it’s not even possible to describe it, wow scene. :o2smile:

Hi Eric. It seemed to me that the recording was done better here. Better surround sound and resolution. Although the vocals are a little better on your link. Listen please. :)

Hi Eric. I'm now hooked on binaural recording. Venus reproduces the sound very naturally, as if in my room, her voice came to life and the rustling of objects. :smile: :smile:

Now I have Venus. I managed to listen to Hifiman edition xs. These headphones are about the same. But I liked the detail and sound stage on Venus more. For me, in terms of sound, detail and sound stage come first. Perhaps Hifiman is a little darker in sound, a little more bassy. And Venus sounds...

Perhaps we have such hearing... :slight_frown: Maybe when we get older, we won’t hear these high-frequency peaks. I am 38 years old. I remembered the video :smile::smile:

Hi. Thank you very much for your comparison. It was interesting to read. I remember when I first heard Venus, the first thing that struck me was the resolution, detail and sound stage. But I would like a little less high frequencies at the peaks, where the music is recorded with very high...

In appearance, Venus is richer. We are looking forward to the sound comparison😀

By the way, I want to note how Venus sounds on fast dance music. The resolution and scene are also amazing. At 2:18 it became scary, the effect was as if someone had sneaked up and touched me for real. I was alone in the room. The sound is realistic and alive.:smile::smile::smile:

Thanks a lot. It was interesting to read your review :)

I completely agree with you on the sound of Hans Zimmer - Live In Prague, the sound is wonderful, relaxed for Venus, I enjoy it. Another high frequency test, beautiful music. How do you like the high frequencies? Doesn't it hurt your ears? Perhaps my hearing is too sensitive for high frequencies

I agree with you, on the sound of Hans Zimmer in Prague, super sound recording, very detailed sound, you can hear every rustle of people in the hall, the bass vibrates in the headphones. Nice to listen. :relaxed: Also a small selection of mine where it’s nice to listen, via Venus...

:beyersmile:

You are not alone with Venus. :relaxed: I've owned it for 7 months. Before this I had headphones Sennheiser HD 558. Shure SRH940, 1540, 1840. Hifiman edition xs. Venus clearly surpasses everyone in sound, the sound is super detailed, a very large sound stage. But sometimes it sounds bright and...

Maybe. I listened for a month with a 5V 4A linear power supply. Yesterday I decided to try iPower2, the sound became gentle, soft, it sounds open, airy, I listened for hours and didn’t get tired of the sound. Unexpectedly strange. :beyersmile: Connected Zen DAC Signature V2, iPower X power...

Moondrop Venus, 100db 18 ohm. When connecting a linear power supply to Zen can from AliExpress, it adds bass, but the sound becomes harsh. With ipower2, there is less bass, but the sound is smooth and pleasant))

Thank you all! I lowered the voltage to 5.2 with a rugator. Now Zen can turn on and there is sound! Yes, the sound is different, the bass was added. So far I have first impressions about the sound on this power supply.

With the power supply from Ifi, everything is fine. The device is working. With a Chinese power supply, the indicators are constantly on, as in normal mode, but where is the sound((( I have a sad experience, shopping with Aliexpress(((

After 2 months, an order arrived from Aliexpress. As a result, there is no sound. Although the indicators on the Zen can are on. On the plug itself, the voltage is 5 volts.

I connected Hifiman Edition XS, to Ifi Zen dac v2, also a Mean Well adapter for 5 volts 3 amps. The sound improved, but unpleasant high frequencies appeared. Without an adapter, the sound is muddy.
