Yep, the minimum phase filter was the best of them all and quite laid back sounding and paired nice with SS amps. Happy to hear your good experiences with the Charleston cable, I should hopefully receive mine next week!

 
Good to hear that we are in agreement there and enjoy your new CCC-cable when it arrives.

  I've recently had the opportunity to listen to a Meridian DSP6000 active speaker system with digital crossovers and it was really impressive.

 
Completely off-topic for HP thread but noted with interest (while researching) that there's a whole community using Iriver as active crossover - assign different filter to different channels, each to separate amp > rewired speaker(s).   I need another project like I need a hole in my head but it's intriguing

You can also check out MiniDSPs products. I'd be quite curious to see when IEM manufacturers start experimenting with active crossovers to reduce the size of multi-driver IEMs.

Has anyone tried the HE500 with a TOTL Audio Gd Amp? I've got the Master 9 coming. Yes I know, buy first ask later, but isn't that the Headfi way lol

Oh Schiit! I'm excited@!

Was listening to the HE-500 and it has something special about it. Gets about 50/50 head time even with the HD800 here. 
 
The HD800 is better, no doubt, but the HE-500 are so good for just enjoying music.

I was really going to sell my HE500s after the HD800s purchase but then I thought about it and I don't think I can, it actually works with more of my music ATM

 

[lin0003]

Yeah, I think the HE-500 and HD800 are my end game headphones. Don;t need anything else, I find the HE-500 to be better than the LCD-2 and only a bit worse than the LCD-3.

I think so too, but I haven't heard the HE-6 yet so I can't say that yet. It's not your end game dude. You're so young so I don't believe it. AT ALL

For now

Nah, but I'm seriously done buying stuff for a while. The only real upgrade is the 009 which I can't afford so no point upgrading amps and DACs for that extra 1% improvement.

True

Sorry I'm so chatty I've already polished off a bottle of Pinot. Best SQ improvement ever

 

[Liu Junyuan]

What about the HE-560s?

With some Pinot I'm sure they'll sound great too lol
