Headphoneus Supremus
+1 on the thoughts about TEAC. I got a AI-301DA a while back to be my desktop DAC/amp (headphones and speakers with a powered sub) and I love it. Fantastic kit, beautiful aesthetic design too.
Feel for you man . Maybe third times a charm?Ugh. I'm also torn about whether to try for a third pair or just call it a day with HiFiMan and their awful QA. The sound is just so good on the 560s.....for a couple hours, anyway.
I did not have any issues with my pair from Adorama, however I returned them. Even at the $350 price they did not sound good enough for me to keep. I much prefer the sound of my Beyer Amiron . There was only one area that I thought the he 560 bested the Amiron and that was in the texture and body of bass on percussions.I just wish these problems were not happening as the $350 price point for these cans is fantastic.
this was my limited impression since I haven't heard a HE500 in a long timeAny comparison to the HE-500?
