As the successor to my Beyerdynamic T.1.2, which did not want to sound really good on the RME ADI-2 Dac, I bought a T1.3. So far I was convinced of the T1.3, in my ears a clear improvement compared to the predecessor, I can listen to it for hours and look forward to the next session.
A Focal Clear was recently tried out and I didn't like listening to a small part of its mid-range, at least on the RME I couldn't listen relaxed. The Focal Clear is out.
Since today I have a Denon AH-d9200, here my impressions of the Beyerdynamic T1.3 vs Denon AH-d9200:
both good, a matter of taste. The fit of the Denon is smaller, perfect for me.The T1.3 also fits very well.
The Denon sounds more direct, with beautiful trebles and open mids.
The T1.3 sounds more relaxed, more live, with bigger soundstage and more powerful bass.
There are tonal differences, but with long-term listening they probably disappear, tonally I prefer the Denon, but the T1.3 sounds less like a headphone, the music comes up in the room.
I like both of them, they play in one class, but I don't want to keep both, I like to keep it simple, so I have to choose.
With some EQ, maybe I can breathe a bit of Denon into the T1.3?
If I only listen to classical music, then the Denon would be the first choice, unfortunately I also listen to jazz, pop, rock, folk and electronic music.
Which one to choose?
