About 1 a clock,but i do use a lot of eq,so something like -13 -15 pre amp, I'm using the rca,still waiting for my balanced cables haha

I like going on last.fm and check what people comment on what I'm listening to - takes me through a rabbit hole of discovering more music sometimes. Fully committing to listening is a luxury I give myself seldom these days.

Scroll through Reddit, play games on devices or play with table top games and puzzles

How loud do you have it?

I have my Jot 2 (with balanced in from a Bifrost 2) at 12 o'clock in low gain with my LCD-5. And this is with a -12 dB headroom for my EQ.

Browsing on my phone mostly, or just nothing and listen to the music.

This is a side point, I agree with everything you've said, but the Ananda does not measure like that when you're getting a proper seal.

Hi there. I don’t claim to be an expert on this branch of math and will believe you here. I would be curious to hear from someone like Oratory on the topic who has made similar arguments.

I’m only offering my subjective experience since I often find it hard to reconcile the subjective and objective side of things in audio. In the case of electronics and certainly cables, I’d rather largely ignore my subjective experience (also given the tons of failed ABT with speakers, which make it hard to believe electronics make any audible difference if not faulty). As you’ve stated, there have not been any time domain AB tests to my knowledge so the answer is ??? and people are trying to reason from the math rather than trials.

• also soundstage (partially not driven by FR) and FR smoothness (important in Harman’s experiments) are two reasons to consider higher end headphones.

Did you go with it blindly? And do you like the 560s, now that you also know how the DT 770 sounds?

From my experience the DT 770 80 Ω version is perfectly fine without any AMP - both from my MacBook and iPhone.

Two quick fallacies to call out here A) the one everyone misses: time domain = frequency domain if you have infinite time and infinite frequencies. But if I showed you a frequency response of a song on only 1-40,000hz (or whatever, limits exaggerated to make the point), there would be infinite different songs that have that exact same FR. Simplest way to understand this is imagine if I played a song in reverse. It’d have the same FR from 1-40khz. Imagine I took the first second of a song and moved it to the end of that song. Also same FR. You could absolutely take the Fourier transform of a song and convert it to frequency domain. But you’d need to go into the microhertz to fully represent it in FR. People like to cite the frequency & time domain equivalencies to say that the time domain doesn’t matter at all just because you have an FR graph that goes from 20hz-20khz. This concept gets misquoted and abused in lots of arguments about interpreting FR plots. It doesn’t conclude what people want it to, and if people want to claim time domain plots are 100% irrelevant, the onus is still on them to demonstrate this with controlled studies. We can do some fancier math to put some constraints around my argument, but the original point needs to be made that time and frequency domains are only equivalent if both are infinite.

B) Nobody said anything about subjective listening or hearing impulse response. I know you cite it as your own experience, but that feels a bit like a straw man argument. Original post made a conclusive assertion that impulse response is irrelevant

True meaning of «headphone»

hi,i'm using the smsl su 9n,i heard that the dac module of the jot 2 measure really bad so i got a standalone dac instead,enjoy the hd800s! they truly something else:)

I wanted to buy just one DAC/amp and never get into the amp upgrade/sidegrade scene, one unit for the rest of my life that is suitable for all headphones and earbuds. I wanted balanced output for my active speakers. I wanted parametric EQ. I didn't want anything large or showy. That's why I bought mine and I don't regret a single penny.

I came from a Fiio E10k and a Shanling M0. The improvement was, as you can imagine, astonishing. Mindblowing. That's when I started buying more headphones.

This is a good article on the topic https://www.soundstagesolo.com/index.php/features/313-is-it-possible-for-headphones-to-sound-fast-or-slow

That's awesome to hear. I plan to have a similar setup soon, I got the Jot 2 with the integrated DAC module and waiting on the HD800S in the mail. What DAC are you using?

Being put on the spot like this made me completely forget how to read a graph.

Spoiler, I ended up picking up a set of 560s.
I've only tried the DT770 80 and 250s. Unfortunately I didn't have an amp to power the 250s, so it wasn't really at its full potential but I did try the 80s off a higher end PC right and it produced decent sound but I think it would've been better off a DAC. I ended up checking out used stuff locally one more time this morning and found a dude that had day old 560s with the receipts and everything and got a deal on em!

It’s a visual representation of the impulse response

now add a bf2. to my ears it made them sound fuller

bf2/64 - lokius - jot 2

Thinking about more expensive audio gear I deeeeeefinitely need to buy.

I like HD600 but it lacks the warm bass texture of the HD650. HD600 bass is good with EQ but bit dry.

Thinking about more expensive audio gear I deeeeeefinitely need to buy.

Just amazed,after being in this sub for so long i honestly didn't except the amp to make any difference to me but it did!,the bass got so much more punchier,i am hearing details in songs that I've never heard before,soundstage feels a tad wider(this is one could be placebo but i really think the stage feels wider) sound is super clean with my new dac,i am really happy about this purchase

I always thought it was the membrane vibrating too long /shrug
