100+ Head-Fier
Has anyone tried the R70x with the new Asgard (3)?
Surprise! That doesn't swap channels on this headphone. In fact, channels aren't even labelled on the cable.
It was already confirmed before, dude, that was my mistake, and I was confused by the recording, as it sounded like the hats are actually heard in the opposite ear due to busy mix - that's quite common in busy overcrowded metal mixes. As soon as I heard something straightforward, I realised this and was perplexed for a minute, but then it dawned on me what is happeningI can confirm that it makes no difference which cable is plugged into which cup. The left cup is always left and vice versa.

hi guys, i just bought my r70x.
and now im planning to find an amp or amp/dac.
1.The candidate is topping a30(capable up to 600ohm headphone, but only amp) and topping mx3 (capable only up to 300 ohm, amp+dac+bluetooth 4.0). which is better? my source is only acer nitro 5 and sony xperia xz premium.
2.Are higher output amp "really" give benefits/ a must for this cans? 600ohm vs 300ohm is far enough, and the r70x is 470 ohm.
3.i've already tried cmoy amp by jds labs (source is sony xz premium), and i think thats amp not giving enough power for this cans, it feels like somethin is holding the sound. BUT when i plug it directly to my acer nitro 5, it sounds way better than the cmoy (without amp).
4.or, just a simply portable amp+dac such as fiio q1 MK2 can drive this cans perfectly? any portable/desktop amp+dac recomendation for around $100?
thanks, and sorry for my bad english

im using 24bit flac.Hi,
Wondering what you're using for source material - FLAC, ALAC, or other lossless files?
Tidal & similar downloads?
320K files, or something else?
It would be useful to know this info in order to recommend some amps to you -
BTW do you prefer a portable to a desktop, or vice-versa, or does it not matter?
Topping A30 is ok, but you should avoid the Mx3.
Nothing is a must. You can drive these cans with a phone if you like.
What works or not is really up to you.
why i should avoid mx3? cz it only limited power for max 300ohm headphone?
ahh luckily i found your reply before im buying it, thanks dudeBecause it is not very good... https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...and-measurements-of-topping-mx3-dac-amp.7312/

any recomendation for $100 amp+dac that can drive this headphone perfectly? portable/desktop is no problem
tq for ur recomendation buddyI agree with
Hooster ,
just above. The JDS Labs Atom is a very good amp for $99.00.
Plenty of power, specs are excellent and so is the sound.
As mentioned, there is no DAC. But I don't know of any
amp/doc combo at this price point.
Also, from the time of its release, I've been a fan of the
O2 amp. The JDS Labs and Mayflower Electronics use
the same circuitry and the build quality is very similar.
I don't hesitate for a second to recommend the O2, despite
the various objections that float around on the
interwebs It sounds really good, has plenty of punch and
power, and remains very reliable.
The Atom runs on AC; the O2 runs on two 9 volt batteries
(many use rechargeable batteries for convenience), and/or
on AC.
tq for ur recomendation buddy
sadly, that jds , 02 or even magni 2 cost about $200 in my country, lol
btw my last question, is this cans need that powerfull amp? is the "capable until 300 ohm headphone" on amp spec is enough/far than enough? or i should go for up to 600ohm amp power?
