Headphoneus Supremus
Interesting (to me) thought. I had tried out multiple combinations on the 8S and ended up red - grey - gunmetal. So I figured on the 8D the same equivalent made sense. The 8D unit is after all tuned red - grey. And until now I had been running it just like my 8S; with gunmetal. Anyway I tried the gold instead of gunmetal on the 8D and lo and behold; I kind of like it. The treble is a bit smoother and the midrange is amped up a bit. This sort of addresses the issue that people have raised with the 8D and 8N; which is a somewhat elevated treble.
I run the 8D in balanced mode with the Cayin N5II. I use the 8s primarily in 3.5mm mode with my Shanling M0, M2S, the ipad pro, and my Surface. Plus of course airplanes....
