100+ Head-Fier
Hey, I bought Hedd like a half year ago and before I got Ifi pro idsd and pro ican , I didn’t like how they sound, I even put them on eBay , even Phonitor X with rme adi 2dac didn’t help a lot, but now Hedd really singing
i quite agree with your assessment. the punch of lcdx and the details of hd800s.If I had to keep just one pair of cans out of all that I have had in the past or have in the present, the heddphone would be it.
The heddphone was the first one that had me go ‘wow’ the instant I turned on the music.
It gives me the desired punch of the LCD-X and the detail of the HD800s
The performance justifies the hype in my book.
Also this little list where several of your ifi products make the ‘user satisfaction’ list:

So you are running the Hedds off iDSD pro and the icans and find it a good pair ?Hey, I bought Hedd like a half year ago and before I got Ifi pro idsd and pro ican , I didn’t like how they sound, I even put them on eBay , even Phonitor X with rme adi 2dac didn’t help a lot, but now Hedd really singing
Why are they singing now, when they didn’t when you first heard them? Burn in? You lost me.Hey, I bought Hedd like a half year ago and before I got Ifi pro idsd and pro ican , I didn’t like how they sound, I even put them on eBay , even Phonitor X with rme adi 2dac didn’t help a lot, but now Hedd really singing
My assumption is brain burn in.Why are they singing now, when they didn’t when you first heard them? Burn in? You lost me.
I’m using xlr cable and idsd has just 2.5 or 4.4 balanced output , plus ican much more powerful, I have also set Phonitor X and Adi 2 Dac , with this set Hedd sound very differently, I mean it’s my honest opinion, I’m more musician than audiophile,I’m listening to jazz and classical music and to me very important how sound instruments and voices, besides Hedd some more headphones and Hedd became to my one of favourite just after I got Hifi idsd, ican I had beforeSo you are running the Hedds off iDSD pro and the icans and find it a good pair ?
I am considering the iDSD pro myself ( will go well with the other HPs as well me thinks )
Any feedback running just via the iDSD pros ?

TLDR: Hugo2 ==> Hedd chain can be improved by adding an external amp and Romi Audio BX2+ is very well suited to that role.
Just got a new portable amp to pair with my Hugo2go, specifically to help with my Heddphones -- Romi Audio BX2+. Purchased from AliExpress for $722 on 3/14, received on 3/27.
Hugo2go ==> BX2+ ==> Hedd
Very good. I'd been listening to H2go ==> Hedd, but felt it was lacking. Not 'bad' but a significant drop off compared to:
A2 Gumby ==> Liquid Platinum | DSHA-3F ==> Hedd
I tried inserting my AlgoRhythm Duet, but didn't care for the result. Seems like the Duet is a bit on the warm side, which hurt synergy with Hedd. Plus, probably still not enough power for them.
Adding the BX2+ definitely improved impact/dynamics and headstage. And (probably due to the stage opening up and being more precise) there's more/better detail retrieval as well. Plus plenty of power -- on high gain 50% on the volume knob is 'too loud'.
Bottom line, this is a great (semi/sorta) portable system -- surprisingly close to the quality of my full-sized system.
Indeed. I am very impressed with the heddphone.the Hedds often tend to make me think its
like being there in a concert venue...the sound is so "life-like" in tone and timbre.....absolutely sublime
Sure, BX2+ isn't a mains-based amp -- I get that. I was just trying (and apparently failing) to say is that:Unfortunately, I don't like the form factor of the BX2+, as it looks plastic and not like a standard DAP shape (WM1A, FIIO M11, AK Kann alpha, etc), but I am really interested to read the ability to move the Heddphone rather efficiently.
I can easily catch that for volume level, there can't be any issue, but for instant juice, It should be another story ?
As some Cayin C9 support is telling here, that for their amp, it's almost impossible to provide enough instant juice for the Heddphone, I am still doubting that any battery powered portable amp can provide enough instant juice to move really fast and fully the Heddphone like a simple Monolith THX887. This is mainly due to battery limitations.
Fixed amp, can, for sure, deliver enough juice to give real kicks in low and ultra low frequencies.
I am still hoping the ifi Diablo or BX2+ can do the Job .. but, I am also thinking that maybe the Heddphone is definitely impossible to be a part of a home portable solution => and I should better forget to hope this and better try to go another way with some other Headphone for my home uses.
