The folks in the thread I linked mostly dig the suede pads on the XM4
I'm digging em on my focal clears, I just bought a pair for my XM3s a couple minutes after someone downvoted that comment you replied to without explaining themselves

I absolutly love the dekoni pads for my sennheiser hd58x and my beyerdynamic dt880 but I very much dislike the dekoni pads for my grado rs1.

I thought I was going to miss the bigger knob of my Schiit amp when I got the ADI-2, but honestly I much prefer the smaller, endless turning, knob, it just feels so smooth.
Glad you are enjoying yours. I 100% agree, this unit is amazing, probably endgame for me as well!

You have all the right DACs then! Do you notice any difference between Qudelix and ADI-2 in terms of sound quality?

To some degree yes, if you’re gonna not use them for a while then even more so. I tend to expect 2 years tops then I’m not disappointed

Didn’t sweat at anyone but I’m not complaining, it’s ok, everyone likes to feel a bit of power from time to time

90% or so of the time, I'm doing something else and I have music on the background. I'm probably only active listening 10% of the time, where I just sit down and do nothing but enjoy the music

Arthur! I loved this show. Maybe try Google Lens or Amazon's image search feature. It'd be wild if you actually found them!

Yeah I play Forza Horizon a lot, not while I’m doing like “serious listening” but just to relax in my free time.

The power bank idea works, I've done it too - but for portable use, you could just get a Qudelix 5K.

Most of the time while taking walk outside or working. When reading I just play some instrumental track.

That's actually one of my main uses of airpods. Noise cancelling and an app called A Soft Murmur. Also have a website of the same name- https://asoftmurmur.com/. Allows you to mix and set what background noise you want.

The RME ADI-2 is a fantastic piece of gear. If you want an upgrade that is significant enough you'll have to go spend 10 grand or something like that. One nice thing to do is to buy a powerbank with a similar size (so it can stack) and a 15 volt output, you'll have endgame on the go!

I had them both, 660S is more detailed and energetic sounding but not as warm as the 6XX in the midbass. However the 660S doesn't have the natural timbre and smoothness of the 6XX/600 and also the treble tuning bothers me a bit, since above 10k they definitely need EQ since they sound too recessed. With EQ they are the best objectively of the 6x0 line (if you don't mind a bit more artificial timbre). I personally love the 600 the best as my absolute reference headphone for tuning or just overall enjoyment, they just sound the most natural to my ears.
