Headphoneus Supremus

The natural assumption would be that the reviewer used HD 600’s, but he did not explicitly say which headphones he used! Also I thought it was odd for him to make subtle comparisons with the Orpheus, based only from memory.
Conclusion: Quote:
| Especially with the BAT VK-D5SE CD player to balance out the slight warming quality of the Crossfield Audio Image Processor, the HeadRoom BlockHead was definitely close—real close—to the Orpheus, and reached, for me, total and absolute headphone reference quality. You want the best headphone sound available today? The HeadRoom BlockHead with stepped attenuators is it. It was a smashing success partnered with the BAT VK-D5SE. I tell ya, this is a combo I could listen to all day. And probably will. |
