@Sound Eq man you have no idea how much I wish there was a shop I could go to near me. My god would my life be easier if I could just test some stuff out first. Its a pain in the ass having to buy to try and then resale if I hate it. Or the other part that sucks is if I get something that sounds good to me like the ifi Pro stuff I kinda have to stick with it rather then purchase every possible amp and dac combo I can think of in hopes of being able to navigate returns and other variable before shops just cut me off. Where Im at here in Florida Ive never been able to even find a show near here that I could go to. But thanks for the tips on the 007.
@jcn3 I really appreciate your input my friend. So far I have been running the Carbon right out of the Dac without the ican connected at all. So thus far I have not used any eq at all. The pic I sent was more of a curiosity thing to see if there was a way to keep them all in the chain so I could continue to use all headphones without having to switch connectors. I did figure that part out, but havent tried it yet. I do however appreciate your input and will likely weigh some options after I've spent a little more time burning my ears in as was suggested. I do believe I need to do this as way to much time was spent with the planars waiting for this unit.
I think I may have jumped to conclusions a bit early also as I have had a head cold the last two days and think my ears were a bit outta whack as a result. I can say this. I know the Carbon is a fantastic amp because when I went back to listen to the lcd-4 and the e2 It was as though all dynamics to the sound and power had completely disappeared. This leads me to the conclusion that my amp and dac may well have outlived the level of the headphones I have. It is crazy how things changed so dramatically with this amp. Right now I don't even want to listen to the planars as all of a sudden they just sound dull. There is a richness to the sound of the Jr and 009 that is incredible. I think the bass thing will change as my ears adjust. Typically I have been more a fan of the audiophile bass sound quality over quantity and impact. I will likely still get some 007's as well.
Appreciate the input guys.
