Well, the T1 3rd is what, 32 ohms? It's like an IEM rather than a headphone. The 3,5mm plug suggests that

Yep, 32 ohms.

But the T1.3 sounds like a headphone, like a great one

Hardly read about the IEM-output of the RME in combination with low-impedance, efficient headphones (full size).

Since yesterday I have been using the Beyerdynamic T1 3rd generation at the IEM-output, the sound result seems silky to me compared to the PHONOS-output of the RME. Maybe someone would like to try it out.

Would be good if you could describe the sound of the t1 gen3 with the rme as I am looking to buy a premium set of headphones for my rme, and like warmth soundstage and a bit of full bass along with clarity. Cheers

There are already at least two threads on the new T1

As I typed a few messages above I'm using the IEM output with a Ananda: pleased with the result (but I cannot really compare to anything else), so much so that I decided to keep the RME I had on demo. For me the sound is engaging and detailed, I can't hear any harshness. I'm really liking the crossfeed set at level 3.

Every time I pause VLC media player on Mac for a minute before resuming play, RME ADI-2 goes completely disconnected. I need to unplug and plug RME's USB into Mac to make it work again. Is this normal? No such issues with iTunes player, though.

I bought Audirvana to play on the ADI-2 and never looked back. Nice Tidal integration, too. Lots of sound configuration options, both on the DAC and in Audirvana.

I was using VLC for playing only films. Would certainly love it, if you have a good player recommendation for both audio and video.

OT on:

Long time JRiver user here. What's lovely with this app iis that you could watch movies or TV while using full potential of your DAC (like upsample audio to DSD256).

Does oversampling not mess up with the sound ?

That depends on how it's done and where it's done. Sometimes the upsampling on a PC will be better than the upsampling on a DAC, sometimes not.

VLC does support a surprisingly wide variety of audio formats. But it is not optimised for audio. foobar2000 for audio, whatever you like for video, for video. I don't know of an all in one player. The focus is pretty different no pun intended

This is exactly my setup too. Foobar is amazingly complex and featured...and free! VLC is my choice for video files. I do have other programs for when I want to watch DVDs on my computer, but I bet VLC would do that too.

Just telling you what might the program can do for you while watching videos. Of course it depends on you/your experience/beliefs.

Give it a try: link

For example what the program can do:
Here I am playing Greyhound 2020 on 2160p and while audio is processed realtime thru Ozone 9 (as VST3 plugin).




Sorry for the OT guyz...just helping...
