I have a D90…maybe I asked you this before…but I still haven’t decided on if I was going to get a Qutest…is it worth picking up if you have a D90?“Back to the LCD-R” - yes please!
Mine sounds like it is breaking in to get even better. I can’t say I have thrown anything at it that didn’t make me want to listen deeper. This are some tough cans to multi-task with because they demand all the attention - that’s a good thing!
I’m still listening on the stock pads and just dealing with the fazors on my ears. The sound is so good the discomfort disappears for a bit. When I realize the back of my ears need some relief I push the headphones forward. I can go 20 to 30 minutes before realizing my ears would like some breathing room again.
Horns and string-heavy songs have been my favorite listens. Chord Qutest > Topping D90 for my favorite DAC pairing. Haven’t tried any other DACs at the house yet. Would be simple enough to throw the Shanling M8 on. This setup is in one end of the house while another is on the other and I’m lazy. Actually, the truth is, I’m happy with the noise this thing makes as is and haven’t felt the need to experiment more.
As all things go: it depends on what you listen to. They bring different sounds to the same things. I find the Qutest to be a lot of fun for rock, live, and EDM. Not so great for rap. It is more forgiving to older recordings though. Some old crowd-sourced Grateful Dead live recordings are far better on the Qutest than D90 for an extreme example.I have a D90…maybe I asked you this before…but I still haven’t decided on if I was going to get a Qutest…is it worth picking up if you have a D90?
With the FR being so enjoyable, I am not sure if anyone is willing to mess it up and have to bin the stock pads just to test it out at this point.Just been thinking about how the frequency response dip corresponds to the pad opening height of 6.5 cm and how the R pads have no fabric screen to protect the ears from the fazors. Has anyone tried the Rs with the new leather pads that might help with both these problems?
If you carefully pull off the stock pads, it should be possible to reuse and stick back on no?With the FR being so enjoyable, I am not sure if anyone is willing to mess it up and have to bin the stock pads just to test it out at this point.
Not 230V I guess?I’m in the process of returning my unit now, so if anyone else is trying to grab a set, be on the lookout.
What made you not want to keep em?I’m in the process of returning my unit now, so if anyone else is trying to grab a set, be on the lookout.
My money's on fit and ergonomics:What made you not want to keep em?
I just didn’t find them comfortable. The fazor rubbing against my ear being the most annoying part.What made you not want to keep em?
