Yeah so I only had a cheap amp, so it can do louder volumes on that cheap amp but the bass is super distorted. But that means it is on the amp side that is causing it to short. Thank you, I'll probably buy another amp.

I don't think they care about the exact frequency you can hear, it's probably more general like "high frequencies" or "sounds over 15k hz." Also they play a single tone and they are only testing the presence of sound and not how loud you hear it. So they do not have to be high quality or have a flat frequency response. They just need headphones that can play the required tones.

Atmospheric tubes

Probably an "anti-theft" measure.

X is about 550g and Clear is 450,

does an extra 100g makes a noticeable difference?

Do you have the same issue if you use the same amp but a different DAC? If not, I'd try that out first to pinpoint if it's the DAC or the amp.

If it is the DAC, then it's possible that you got a bad unit, so next you could try an exchange.

If you've confirmed that the DAC is indeed "working as expected" then the fact is that you just don't like the sound of this DAC (and don't let anyone tell you "it measures great so it must sound just as good as anything else").

This is what people mean when they say that DACs sound different, not that the FR produced by the DAC is incorrect, or that SINAD is bad (often they measure well by some measurements), but that there are other artifacts in the sound they produce that sound "unnatural" that are not part of any of the standard measurements taken. I wish there was some measurements that could determine this, but I have yet to see one. Objective performance should be used as a baseline for sure, but you still need to actually listen to it.

If you don't like it, return/sell it and get something that sounds good to you.

Exactly what I said!

I have the oportunity to buy what it looks to me a good starting point in the audiophile world with this set up:

• Sennheiser HD 650
• ifi Zen CAN Signature 6xx
• ifi Zen DAC v2
• unknown balanced cables

All for 550€ Used but in good condition.

Is this any good option?

It’s all about confidence. If I can listen to “hi im a slut” with open backs, you can listen to whatever music with open backs. I also have speakers and just don’t give a fuck haha.

They’re worthless in this situation

Ananda is a rather old model and extremely good (in my experience) at handling female vocals, Japanese sweet girl vocals especially. However, it might not be that good for all the rock genres you mentioned.

If all-roundedness is a factor, I would definitely get editions, for it's cheaper and an upgrade to Ananda in my opinion.

People can hear my game audio when I’m muted I have watched videos and I can’t get the enchantment tab to pop up

What piece of hardware is this and what tubes? I currently have the HD 600s and I’m about to buy the Focal Clear OG also.

Will you please let me know about your impressions when your hiby arrives? I liked the fc5 model, it only has 4.4 balanced output and is a bit smaller than the fc4, though a bit more expensive, probably cause of glass

Yeah and the right side is louder because that's where the engine is!

I suggest installing an equalizerAPO on your computer and setting the preamp in the equalizer to -10 dbs (depending on how much lower you wish the volume to be) while keeping the computer volume at maximum.

This would help to achieve the more control room you wish to have on JDS amp, while not sacrificing dynamic range.

Simply try to plug the headphone into some other source and plug another headphone to the Fuella and see if which side still got the problem

In Germany or where i was years ago firstly use a headphone which was too small. I am someone gifted with the unnoticeable big head problem die headphones… and that headphone was some cheap industrial & medical tank of a headphone. I assume it can only do like one thing and no music

I really prefer voskhod over the JAN. I Have to test the Mulllard yet. They are also highly rated.

Maximizing voices, because movies have horrible sound mixing that results in dialogue being hard to hear even in good conditions. On an airplane with no sound cancellation, you're gonna need to dial down everything but the mids, with a focus on speech.

Have you thought learning eq ? here are some of the basics. Crinacle has this tool to create eq presets for your preferred parametric eq app.

how to use ?
Select your headphones on the list and click equalize. Make your settings (there is even the autoeq button). Click export to get the settings in a txt file (you need the preamp value from the txt file). Apply settings to your parametric eq app

I'm still sour about the phones. Flat fuckers...

Closed headphones or iems for loud office.

I guess so. Let me guess you never turned the bass up in your phones mix. ? you ran then stock. you never put any EQ on your mix. I find that hard to believe. Cut the mids at all ?

That mid bump in the chart that was posted before would get pretty angry at High dbSPL, right ? which is part of the problem as I see it. and hear it. Go figure.

Nice. : - )

A Red Dwarf fan, I see.
