NH castle rock XLR terminated should be able to connect directly into Jonuteheim balanced/XLR inputs. How do you like/compare the Jot vs. Mojo Soundizer?
Kindly send a link to your review when complete please.
Early days but I'm now using a Violectric V281 amp with the Hawks. Improved dynamics and holographics are what I've first noticed. Hawks certainly respond well to power. So clear and responsive.
My Oppo HA-1 is now pulled and retired from the rig.
Good review, nice to see you gave them a second chance. Many people do need to adjust to these headphones to grasp what they are about, I don't see anything wrong with their stock tuning or anything. some need to hear past the frequency response at times and ask themselves how natural does this headphone sound, is it alive/euphoric or soulless, does it fatigue you, is it grainy, is it a more intimate or laid-back approach to natural, etc. To me the Nighthawks are the laid-back speaker-like approach to natural done right. The Nighthawks are a headphone I don't ever see myself getting rid of.
Get out of here, the V281 is that much better than the HA-1? Wow! That's worth looking into because the HA-1 is a beast
Agreed. I have had several MUCH higher priced cans come and go from my inventory but the Hawks still remain.
Yeah, the Nighthawk is the only headphone I've ever owned more than a year, that tells me something right there. I've owned 4 headphones that have fully satisfied me where I don't get bored or fatigued by them long term and could live with any as my only headphone. The Nighthawks of course, the DT 1770, DT 480(with some dampening and pad rolling), and the DT 1990. You let go of some really high-end stuff such as the SR-009, HE-1000, etc. looking at your profile. What about those made you let go of them? I've heard them but never lived with them at any length of time.

I just might need to give the DT- 1770 & 1990 a listen.
To me , although sonically quite impressive, I found them to have a sound that wasn't realistic or natural. They didn't allow me to get lost in the music and love them. I found that the almost exaggerated clarity and detail caused listening fatigue quite rapidly. I don't want to me 'impressed' by an HP in that manner but ,rather. taken away to a place of bliss. Where I forget about the trials and stressors of this world , of everyday life. The Hawks do that for me. The others do not.
