Was that supposed to say "But Pure Direct" fixes the harshness & fatigue factor"...? I find the high-end Yamahas to be really wonderful headphone amps (speakers too...) in pure direct mode. They are not what I'd call "warm," but they are not at all fatiguing. Great bass control. Great detail. Great extension. And Silent Cinema puts 5.1 surround inside your head about as well as that's ever likely to happen.

The V1800 is a bit harsh & fatiging IMO, with a hint of grain.. & too much smearing, & the air around the instruments sound deflated.. But Pur digital fixes the harshness & fatigue factor. With digital music I'd give it a 7..Movies.6-9. Gaming 6-9. |
