Cosmomemory, i saw your youtube video of your collection and noticed something. I was using the silver sennheiser headphone end adapter from 3.5mm to 6.35mm, didn't like the sound as much. When I got one of the sennheiser adapters that was copper/gold color I noticed a more interesting change to the sound. This is when I started to understand what you meant by the timbre/tonality of the sound seeming more real. I'd guess that when you got the timbre/tonality correct, you could focus on the earpads and the foam being to the specifications you desired. I'm glad you did that video, very helpful for me. I noticed that your graham blitzie dac has burr brown audio codec. Does that mean it is using a Texas Instruments/Burr Brown dac or just the audio codec? I know the analog stage output with circuitry and capacitors matter but I feel like a DAC does matter as well. I read that the Graham amp you have goes for a more tube like sound in a solid state headphone amplifier. Do you think the HD-540 are better fit for a tube like sound over solid state? Just curious on your thoughts since you seem to have a big interest in HD-540s in a way i've never seen before. Glad this thread went as long as it has, so people could find it and learn.
