New Head-Fier
Hello
I recently got my first "real" audio setup, upgrading from $20 walmart headphones. When I tried comparing the audio from youtube, spotify, and CD though they all sounded the same. No matter what combination of headphones, dac, computer/mobile, or source I tried they all sounded about the same. I'm pretty sure its not me though because another friend showed me the difference between youtube and spotify compression on their system and the difference was very noticeable.
My setup:
FIIO BTR5 (openbox from ebay, but still had the plastic seal around the box when it arrived)
Sennheiser HD 630VB (the bass slider is imperceptible unless I'm listening to a bass sweep. I got it "used" from here: https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/sennheiser-hd630vb-like-new-w-case.52582/ but as far as I can tell its in great condition)
My friend's setup:
Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen Audio Interface
E-Mu Black Walnut Headphones
Songs used for testing (with both setups):
September - Earth, Wind, Fire
Walpurgis Night - Xomu
