Currently I'm liking my EQ'd LCD-2f over the Clear MG, but at times I like to use a lighter (in weight) headphone and that's why I at times go for the Clear, even though I prefer the detail and separation of the LCD-2f. Do you have any insight on how the HD 800 S fits in this scenario? I know I...

Thanks. I'm contemplating adding 800 S to my collection and I already own (and enjoy) the Clear MG, so it's useful to read a direct comparison like this.

Without EQ they are quite different. LCD-2 has noticeably less presence in the 1600hz-3000hz range than the Clear MG and can be improved by EQ lift of about 3-4 dB in that range. The MG sounds less muted if you don't EQ. But even if you EQ the LCD-2 to match Focal Clear MG, there is a difference...

I compared Ananda and LCD-2f pretty extensively and I much preferred the LCD-2 - more dynamic and punchy. To me the Ananda was too thin sounding, tame. The Audeze also sounded more resolving to me. I hated the way the Ananda cups pressed my cheek bones and yes, the cups didn't deal properly. No...

Thanks. I'll be leaving the RME for the streamer for more "serious" listening. I'll have to look into powered solutions for the iMac.

Audeze LCD-2f, Sennheiser HD650, Focal Clear mg, Aeon closed X. I use RME ADI DAC 2 fs at the moment with my streamer. A bit smaller sized amp/dac would be ideal, that preferably could be powered from a USB connection behind the iMac. I just don't know what equipment I can just plug into the...

I usually use a streamer with a DAC amp for my headphones, but I would also like to get a decently compact headphone amp to be placed under the iMac. What quality solutions are available, if I want to direct all the audio (along with Spotify and Tidal) from the computer to the amp? Looking for a...

That 768 kHz is the maximum *sampling* frequency, not playback frequency.

Thanks for this. I was trying to find these EQ settings to try them out. I absolutely do not recommend using these. The settings are completely overboard. Especially the last adjustment Pk - 5600hz, -4dB, Q=3" makes the sound quite muffled. I'm frankly a bit shocked that Resolve...

So where and when can I get it Europe?

I took a look at the The custom art Fibae black and it seems that they might be a candidate with universal tips. The angle of the nozzle seems to be steep enough. I have found out that the angle of the nozzle needs to be right to get a deep enough insertion. Recent Shures seem to be too near 90...

Seems interesting, but I once had custom fit casing made for my Shure 525’s and it resulted in a poorer fit and isolation than just using universal Complys, so I don’t have good experiences with customs...

Let’s get back to this to this topic. I use Etymotic ER4XR’s and have used Shure 525’s. I’d also be interested in an iem that provides similar deep insertion and isolation to the ER4XR or Klipsch x11/12, but a bit more pronounced bass/mid bass so I don’t have to EQ. I have Klipsch x11’s but they...

No,.I just need an EQ. The V30 doesn't have one.

This will soon be my next portable source for music. Don't care about the DTS or Oled screen, the LCD is bright, nice and power efficient. Now that the phone has a system wide EQ, I finally have a reason to buy one.

Spotify does have an Offline mode and it certainly works on my phone without problems. I'm just not sure that it works the same way on this DAP and I haven't heard any user experience regarding Spotify Offline use with the player (or other similar players). So, it would be nice to hear fo some...

Does Spotify offline work without problems? That is, can I just play all my downloaded spotify stuff without a wifi connection? If so, this sounds like a really tempting player for me... :thinking:

Are you sure you have Aptx HD working on One plus 5 and 1000x M2? I have tried everything I can think of and can't get it to work. Edit: I'm using extreme quality in Spotify of course, but all audio output will stutter with Aptx HD.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to see what tricks I can try to make the Aptx HD connection work. I tried turning off WiFi and resetting the headphone, no change - sound is really garbled with Aptx HD :/ Regular Aptx I can make work, but not Aptx HD.

Aptx HD connection doesn't work with One plus 5, sound skips like crazy. Only SBC works. I wish I had known this before buying either the phone or the headphone... Is there a list somewhere of fully compatible phones or has someone actually managed to use Aptx HD with One plus 5?

I had a chance to try out the SE210 and compare it to the SE215. The difference - at least for me - was actually the fit. The angle that the earplug has in regards to the case is better with the SE210 - I can insert the plug much further into to ear and thus achieve a much better seal, resulting...

Well, mine definitely don't have bass. I have previously owned SE210, which were much better than the SE215 that I have.

I also got the SE215 recently because I dropped and lost my beloved SE530's :/ The SE215 sound horrible in comparison, they produce no bass *at all*. I thought they might be broken, the lack of bass is so apparent. My other daily IEMs are Earsonics SM64 and Klipcsh X12i (btw these are really...

Thanks for this info. I've been looking for a new phone to replace my Galaxy Note 3 for a year now (the latest Samsung galaxy finger print magnet designs suck ass and don't deliver on the sound), but nothing good enough has come along. Now, if the HTC 10 can deliver as good sound as rumored, I...
