Any sound differences?
Any sound differences?
Well, I traded my Koss ESP-950 for a Stax SR-L500 and SRM-212 amp and I love the tonality and clarity balance with my DACmini CX as an end-game for USB, but it is still not replacing the HE-4 in my home theater setup. No electrostat has done bass so deep and clean, like the HE-4 does. Well, no other dynamic has done bass so clean than the HE-4, either.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhm
I'm really just happy my HE 4 is still running strong! Here's to hoping it lives forever!!!!!!!
Wood cups were delayed due to my in law having eye surgery, it's already been like 3 years since I said I was going to do it anyways. I have an ifi micro dsd black label portable amp/dac on its way, looking forward to seeing if it can actually push the he4s decently, it's not why I bought it but excited to try it
Yeah, family should come first, though your headphones can always come in when they treat you second or worse.
As for the micro dsd black label...I think those RCA outs are perfect for your vintage amp. Sounds like you have not heard your HE-4 for weeks...so here is your reminder that it is almost as hard to drive as the HE-6, but more preferred than the HE-5LE...apparently.
Oh no I have, I was working out of town recently and took the 1010 and the he4s with me to the hotel. Ya I'm hoping the ifi is a better dac than the x3, it damn well should be, but how much of a difference, time will tell.
