ok

Thank you! I pretty much did only use tracks I know very well, although I haven't checked them all out since I upgraded to the S8. Sometimes I just didn't want to go to the next track since it just sounded so freaking good!

Oh yeah, they definitely get loud enough without an equalizer. Volume is only a problem when I use EqualizerAPO/Peace because I feel like I have to turn the preamp down a lot for the "peak gain" to not be above 0.0 dB. Again, it's not too big of a deal. I'll try to be careful though. I'm honestly not careful enough with the volume sometimes, it's pretty stupid of me lol

my old e10k got my dt770 80 ohms to deafening levels, it's never fun to talk about but be careful with you ears. loads of us haven't been and regret it immensely

Why not?

Thank you for the info.

There's no point in using wired headphones outside your home.

They’re “$350” but have almost always been sold for $80. They’re the AKG Y600NC. You can find them for $60 pretty much everywhere right now. Probably very good for that price, or even $80.

AFAIK they’re being discontinued and they’re just trying to get rid of them.

I prefer earbuds for public. Cause if people don’t notice them and try to talk to me and I flat out ignore them it’s like a bonus. Actually got the akg n400nc. I think they were on sale for 40$

Where did you find them for that price?

In public it’s simply the best way to go. I know not everyone will agree, but once you realize how it’s like to not have that cable, you’ll realize how often it gets in the way.

I just got the DT770s about a month ago and I love them! They're the first pair of audiophile grade headphones I've ever owned. I also bought the E10K for them and they work perfectly together. My only complaint is that I can't get them loud enough for my taste with this amp if I EQ them; but I prefer the way they sound without an EQ so it's not too big of a deal.

If I'm being honest, my Cloud IIs shown here also sound great with the E10K; especially when EQing them. They're easy to drive/get loud enough. I mainly just use them for the mic though, and the DT770s for music. I'm happy with this setup so far!

PS: Sorry for remaking this post a couple times, I'm pretty picky with things. :D

I'm 44. I refuse to this day to go wireless on cans. Still won't do it.

I know its not remotely close in price, but I bought a pair of Sony XM2's for cheap off ebay brand new in the box. They've been my daily drivers for years now. Would buy again if I could.

Are those headphones comfortable?

A great post! Like many others suggested - volume leveling is a big factor to consider as sometimes slightly higher volume can be mistaken for better quality. I would also suggest using only the tracks (maybe even album versions) that you know very very well. There’s a big emotional difference in how you might react to a new song versus something you know very well and essentially know what to expect. And in the meantime, we’re gonna sit tight here in Canada and wait for qobuz to arrive…. One day… maybe

I think you are looking at the wrong things. They are not just adapters.

Get this cable -

And you can choose the interconnect you want..

Interconnects -

It's the most versatile cable as you can swap the interconnect to any termination you want without having to rebuy a whole new cable.

If you need a longer cable you will have to try to get one during the days they have custom cable sales open (2-3 times a week at various times).

A few months ago I did a (not blind) A/B test between Qobuz and Spotify. I had been using Spotify and switched to Qobuz for my at home HiFi listening. I wanted to know if the price and UI difference were worth it to me. After listening to numerous tracks within various genres I concluded that in only a small portion of the time, if I was listening very critically, could I hear a difference. Maybe 10-20%. Same source, just switching playback from one to the other for 20-30ish seconds of a song at a time. I was using my LCD-2Cs in a silent room. I'm 22 and have no known hearing issues. I decided that it wasn't worth the extra money for me personally. Do with that info what you will. Not scientific but I did spend a good while doing it and was honestly rooting for Qobuz.

It’s Semi Fully Automatic

But hart just adds a 4.4 adapter to 3.5. It’s heavier for portable dacamps.

Great! Thank you very much! I wil definitely check those out! With these gizmos, I can satisfy my OCD urges alone and any time :)

>Or, do I just ABABAB the same track, but each time I make a decision the person in charge flips a coin that decides which source is A and which is B and I start again (repeat 5 times)?

Pretty much this. The idea is that you do the same comparison (e.g. the Depeche Mode track) multiple times and each time choose which one you think is which, with it being randomized after each decision. The more trials you do, the more you reduce out the possibility that you just happened to pick the right one by chance.

I totally agree. How would I evaluate the third category though?
