dead again. ie still need to return it to audeze
i'd say you need something around 450-750 mw to properly power the sine. a mojo does that and is a great pairing with the sine.
these are bad at scaling with higher end gear beyond that but they do sound good once property powered. try it with the cypher cable and an iphone if you have that handy.
i found the new replacement is easier to drive than the old broken one.Ah, that's more like it. Now that it's properly driven, the SINE indeed sounds quite nice. Not in the league of better open-backs or my speakers, of course, but still probably in the top 25% of headphones I have heard. Although this is marketed as an on-ear, it's fully over-ear for me. (Though it's a tight fit.)
The momentum pads work extremely well. Very impressed! Plus the comfort level is increased ten fold! I could wear these for hours now
you are God.
