I've had the Arya v2 before. Totally different beast. Really great staging. 660s2 has staging just above hd600 imo but i wouldn't go to a 600 type headphone for soundstage anyways. I find that in general Hifiman's headphones have been really great for live stage performance-type albums (as long...

The updated 2021

There’s a lot to catch up on with what pads work well with LCDX but, I’d just like to ask up front what your favorites are? I currently use the new stock pads on LCDX with the stock sound. Never been crazy about EQing, I enjoy experiencing the stock sound of headphones.

it's like just the right amount of sparkle

LCDX and piety is such a great combo. Volume adjustment gets a bit tricky since they’re so damn efficient though. I have a topping D30 Pro that I can use to help volume adjustment but I particularly just love to pair the piety with my modi Multibit 1.

So fellas, what’s your favourite headphones combo’d with piety? Currently running my 580 on it with a modi multibit 1 dac. Luckily all my cans sound great out of it. I’ve got Elex, 600, 660s2, LCD-X. All kick ass.

I've enjoyed my time with these, but I'm moving soon and would like to downsize a little. First thing I wanna get out of the way, I'm the second owner and they're in great condition, however, if you see that metal cuff on the left, I put that there to hold it from sliding down. I can include a...

Moving to a new country and my Piety and A30 Pro don't need any adjusting for voltage, just new cables. The Asgard I have to send in and get readjusted, but I don't really feel like sending it in just for it to collect dust again. I use my other two amps way more. I'd rather sell it to someone...

Got the Hemps several months ago and I absolutely love em. Favorite pads are the Geekria L pads! They have a similar comfort to the G pads but sound closer to an F pad because of how close my ear is to the driver, and because of the driver still being exposed unlike with an S pad, Yaxi, or...

The weight isn't really an issue at all either it's evenly distributed. Pillows on my head and glorious bass. Love the bass extension. And it's not bloated it's similar to what I liked about the Arya having good bass extension so it has this "weight" at the bottom end from reaching into the...

(Copy and pasted from the other "LCD-X and XC Update" thread just in case so I could get some more answers). Hey bros! Recently did a trade with a buddy, my Arya for his LCD X. Currently loving the LCDX. There's some brand new pads on here and I was wondering, what's the usual life expectancy...

Hey bros! Recently did a trade with a buddy, my Arya for his LCD X. Currently loving the LCDX. There's some brand new pads on here and I was wondering, what's the usual life expectancy with the earpads? They're quite expensive too I just wanna know if I should get an extra pair for the future or...

Lovely mini shelving for your stack! I'm in the process of setting up for moving in the near future but once I get there I'd love to get one of these going for myself as well. Are there any guides/instructions for a diy shelving like this?

Hello! Got this Hifiman Arya v2 last year and I've taken good care of them. I'm the second owner btw. They sound great and work perfectly fine. Smoke free environment and we do have 2 dogs but they never come into my room. I eventually bought some Dekoni Hybrid Elite pads for them. I have the...

Oops sorry for double post. Accident! I'm on mobile

I've got a v2 and I changed to elite hybrid. Much better all around especially for comfort. Sound though I don't notice too much of a difference between stock and elite hybrid pads. The stock pads would make an awful squeak noise as my glasses rubbed against them. If I could I'd buy another pair...

For sure. Thanks for the response! I have a regular Modi+ as a backup Schiit dac because I've been enjoying my Modi Multbit that I bought preowned. If anything happens to this one I could send it in for a repair or maybe towards an upgrade perhaps. But yeah so far I've had 0 issues with my Modi...

What problems would that be? Atm I have a Modi Multibit 1 (could be either first or updated version of this first model but idk for sure what version it is) and its performance is great. Have no real issues with it, but would it be worth it to ask Schiit about updating it to Unison? Idk if...

I'd say any tbh but I have a Modi Multibit 1 (might be version 2 of the first modi multibit but I haven't opened it up so I'm not sure) and it's a great pairing. Right now my setup is that with a Focal Elex. Great stuff

How do you like it? Do you like high gain or low gain more? Lately I've been using Piety with my Elex and it's an absolute blast. Great combo.

Dm'd!

Awesome review! I feel the same way about my HD600 and 6XX vs other headphones I have. The original 6X0 headphones just sound too solid to really be trumped by anything else I have. However, I think direct upgrades from the HD600 to the 660S2 could be things like imaging, instrument separation...

Should I replace asgard with a singxer sa1 perhaps? I already have a d30 pro for balanced o:
