indeed, i was just interested
i have 2 RME which are excellent 👍👍👍


Does anybody have a frequency chart comparing --V2-- --STEALTH-- and --SE-- ? I could not find one🥺
however if you like a different approach with coloring and tubes ofcourse I would recommend trying other amps, but honest representation and AIO will always, in 99% scenarios. I had one experience where my external amp sounded more true and represented the DACs true character.

RME ADI-2 FS very good on this part I like the internal amp on it. However it tends to be a little loose in the lowend, which an amp should not fix this, but EQ will.

Look at a EQ like a tank with water and the water flows straight through without any pressure on a flat EQ.

If you turn down the water - the high frequencies it will fill and make pressure on the lowend and starts to emphasize this area.

This is not a 100% correct but it is close. Rather substract than add on EQ. Find the strong/weak parts on the headphone which in this scenario is the sharp high notes or treble.

I miss the most curious comparison, HE1000v2 vs. HE6seV2
Surly the HE100v2 would beat the HE6v2 hands down (or ears down).

Was not fond of the HE6v2 and was glad to see the back of it!

Be careful for what you wish for. My HE400SE beats the Arya V2 :wink:...to my taste

In terms of bass impact under 70 Hz the 6 v1 or 2 is better, that's it. All HEK's and 6's of all vintages need PEQ IMO. The HEK v2 needs it the least, followed by the Stealth - IMO of course.

Agreed hard to beat the HEKSE at its price point right now. You just get differences in sound signature. But at its price right now it’s the most complete headphone out there and closer to getting the Susvara sound. Without breaking the bank. Not to mention easy to drive and scales very well.
Hmmm. I think the HEK Stealth at $1.4 is better value then the SE at $2k - esp if once can sit on that 6k rise of the Stealth

I personally find that everything past the 640hz filter degrades the audio quality on the HEKS, and the bass filters are the best solution for this particular headphone.

Maybe the BK50218 measurement will offer a more clear look into what is actually going on with the FR, or maybe it just isn't a good candidate for mid / treble EQ. I did not find this to be the case with my LCD-5; it responded well to EQ in all areas of the FR.

Hello folks,
I would like to know if anyone of you using this superb headphone (I mean the HE-1000 Stealth :wink: with a mobile DAC / AMP combo ?
Something like an:
1. EarMen Angel (enough power ?)
2. iFi Audio Diablo (-X)
3. the new Fiio Q15
or maybe with a tank like a xDuoo XD05 PRO (interesting product)

I want to use the Stealth with my Galaxy Tab S9+.

I have the same headphones, and they sound awesome out of the woo audion Mini—lots of current and power for them.

Earmen Tr-amp…Amazing! Sells for nothing these days

EDIT: Also look up Cayin RU7 and see if you could try it.
