With certain songs I have a hard time distinguishing between 190 and 320 even at times. Ex. evenescence. I have heard they have poor production though. However with others such as pink Floyd or assorted acoustic music I can easily tell. Any brief explanation as to why this may be?

So I just purchased a set from a member here and so far it's excellent sounding.
 
Currently paired with the Mojo as I am away from home, I have the Audiolab M-DAC also waiting to be unpacked at home once I return this weekend. Need to get myself an adapter cable made up to use the balanced out.
 
Only concern is the crinkling sound when the headphone is put on due to pressure, even when moving head around rapidly it causes the sound. Looking on here that apparently is standard and I shouldn't be worried. Common with planars however my HE400i (first planar owned) don't do this, might be due to material types that makes up the driver.

I'm going through my Classic Rock collection again, and it sounds amazing. It's only 160 kbps, but it's still the best sound I've heard from a pair of headphones in my life. It only gets better from here!!

what headphones were you rocking before?

Apple EarPods lol

They're actually still tolerable to listen to after hearing the X.. Much more noticeably bad, but tolerable..

I was always curious what the background noise was at the end of Evenessence's slow song  'All of me' or whatever the title was.  Sounds like morse code.  Any thoughts on that?
I'm guessing you enjoy their music.

I do. And that is one of the songs in specific I was wondering about. It is called my immortal. And with some artists I have no issue distinguishing between 320 and other bit rates, I personally don't think I can tell the difference between 320 and lossless on any song, but with that one even going down to 120 bits still not super noticeable. And I do think it is due to backround noise because like you said there is popping and I notice a lot of hissing in that song as well regardless of bit rate. But I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable than I to explain why with poorer recorded songs it is harder to distinguish between different bit rates.

Just out of curiosity...
 
Anyone compared the Cavalli Liquid Gold, Audio GD Master 9 and the Violectric V281 driving the LCD-X?
Also, how the LCD-X compares with the new HD800S?

 

[knopi]

What do you want to know HD800 or HD800 Anax mod or HD800S I am sure all of them is technical better headphone but LCDX can be better for listening because sound is overall more natural universal (for me for example)..

The HD800S, the black one that Sennheiser released this year, not the old HD800.

 

[knopi]

I know but do you think it will be dramaticaly diferent? I think no..

 

[ToroFiestaSol]

I don't know, that's why I ask
 
PS: I'm not interested in the "old" HD800.

It is tho. A lot different.

I tested the HD800, HD800S and LCD-X on a V281.

HD800S and LCD-X both performed extremely well. I would be happy with either.

Nice!
 
Which are the sonic differences between LCD-X and HD800S?

LCD X has more bass, HD800S sounds cleaner in bass tho. You can hear individual notes clearer. HD800S has more detail and now doesn't seem to get harsh.
LCD X sounds more veiled. If you were in a hall it places you about 8 rows back. HD800S with more air and detail puts you right in front of the artist.

BTW: V281 is a killer endgame amp. I'm saving my $$'s for one.

Any word on where I could get an LCD-4 headband for my LCD-X? Last I heard is that it should be out fairly soon?
