P9 bass is boomy and not clean at all, no amp will change that, let alone a cable.

A Apple computer question. I'm a bit embarrassed to ask the forum members regarding what "AudiMidi" app setting I should use with my Asgard 3 with TrueMultibit for Tidal? A recent YouTube video reminding me this app. existed on my M1 MacMini (I was previously using a 2015 iMac with another headphone/amp combo.

So, how far should I jack the settings.

BTW, I had previously complained that my B&W P9's bass sounded way too bloated with the Asgard 3. Well I changed out the cable to a much shorter one, and the bass beast has been tamed.

Thanks for the help! Its always fun to play with equipment new or old!

The BW P9 are the worst headphones I ever put on my head. Even if you are able to attenuate the insane mid bass bloat, you'll have to worry about its ridiculous weight balancing on your neck.

you just called the authors of these headphones idiots
... well, and me for one thing
... I would be happy to expand the number of open backs with the bt interface

Yes, Grado Gw100, ananda bt and deva are very much consumer oriented headphones, and none of the above sound good

Nothing comes close to HD650 under 500 bucks

That's an interesting comment to make in the X3 thread....i think you might find that there are plenty of people that happen to think the X3 is as good or better than the HD650.

I thought this thread is a place for discussion, not a place of defending your purchases. I'm just expressing my opinion, like those who prefer the X3 are

You brought nothing to the discussion. You might as well have said that the Perrigrine falcon is the best birds in the sub 5 pounds range.
Ok...that's your opinion...so? Why don't you tell us your favorite color, maybe we need to know that too?

My point was that fanboy rhetoric of "X is the best headphone ever" fits best in the discussion thread for headphone X. Not in discussion threads for other headphones.

So is saying I like the Fidelio X3 constructive then ? Should we all just post measurements because it is the only thing that's objectively useful?

I have seen overly positive reviews in this thread which do not align with my experience, and we have a duty to inform the less knowledgeable newcomers to this hobby the truth. I am sharing my opinion on purchase decision, just like many others are. My original comment was meant to be a reply to earlier comments.

Should we rename this to fidelio x3 appreciation thread then?

That was not a necessary comment, and not a very objective statement. I apologise if you found it out of place in this thread.

Do you think this kind of microphone could work with the X3 ?
