So Nomax, how did you like the Orpheus II? Would you say it's better than all other high end systems you have heard, or just different? What headphone does it most sound like?
The Orpheus 2 is very well tuned! Treble, mid and resolution, everything fantastically, but some criticism to the bass!
At higher volume begins distortion. For 50,000 USD I can expect to play Rock & Pop sometimes without distortion even with more than 100dB - can I?
This should go without saying, you does not go to a Rock concert to come up with 80dB to enjoy or??
My own opinion is that certain musical genres work at high volumes only.
The amplifier unit is as said processed on top level,I've never seen that myself on that level!! Compared the headphone itself show technical criticism compared to the asked $ 50,000 !!
The amp in BUILD/MATERIAL-CONSTRUCTION Quality is for 100% TOP NOTCH!!!the HEADPHONE ITSELF .....??
Look at the Picture and you know what i mean!!!(and i have few more)
Am I too strict ?? No because it is Sennheiser and it's about $ 50,000, and I was even in the past Orpheus 1 owner and it did its job for only $ 15,000 and yes - well done
We will see whether Sennheiser will do some cosmetic changes at the headphone. It will carry out in the next 6 months.
I'd like to it personally in any case
Regards Nomax
