I have hours and hours on the monks. Really love them and they are kind of home for me. Notice no pads on them. Constantly wearing out and replacing, haha.

Aside from them the iris ancestors are in my ears constantly.

The shiro yuko are actually my least fav. Zero bass. Maybe something is wrong with them? Just very different from the rest.

Spotify - great recommendations, huge library, convenient.

Waiting for them to rollout lossless service. Aaany day now....

Right now I’m really digging the Iris Ancestor. They are hitting the sweet spot with me.

I haven’t tried the Fiio but a pair of FF5 are actually on their way. The suggestions here and elsewhere pushed me over the edge. Can’t have too many right?

Those look wild!

Never underestimate the crushers. I've been laughed at for my madness, but I seriously believe that as soon as someone can pull off "Hi-fi" crushers, the community will feel the revelation like an earthquake

This. It’s not done via the main Qobuz desktop app. But the instructions are simple and very straight forward.

Wow, sorry to hear that. I hope some day that problem was fixed.

Bandcamp

Eastern Europe. If you want to buy music here, you really have to fight for it and sometimes, it's just impossible. Ironically, I'm often told that we can't purchase music here because there's a lot of piracy in this region... I wonder why that is.

Color accuracy measurement is absolute, which is the delta between actual vs expected.

The issue with audio frequency response is the target. There is no standard on what is the correct or right target. And different folks can have varying preference on the target. Should it be Harman (and there are multiple Harman targets), IEF, Diffused Field, etc? So calculating the deviation from a moving goalpost is difficult.

If you like fancy 3 D plots, there are CSD (Cum Spectral Delay) measurements with frequency and impulse. Looks cool. Here is an example from HD600, on SBAF forum.

However, my personal take is that measurements are not very useful, for both headphones and amps. At first level, frequency measurements can be used to filter out headphones (v-shaped, neutral, bass boost, hot treble). But I can get that info from reviews easily. And then on the headphone technical performance, measurements do not tell me about soundstage, imaging, separation, layering, and dynamics (maybe CSD).

As for amp, SNR (SINAD) and THD are also kind of useless. They measure minute differences, which human cannot hear or detect. On the other hand, tube amps measure like crap, but sometimes (or often) they provide more enjoyable listening experience than the best measuring solid state amps.

Wow o0 Where do you from to have that many problems? :(

Hahahaha thanks for your clarity and honesty :D

Ah understandable

Mainly Bandcamp. I used to use Tidal before it shut down.

Sometimes I have to use Apple Music because not everything is on Bandcamp.

Amazon Music told me I live in the wrong county.

Qobuz took my money, didn't allow me to download what I had purchased and then told me I live in the wrong county.

Their audio is as hi-fi as anyone's, to my ears. Hi-res is a scam.

Eh, to me these don't have bass.. They have haptic rumble that creates an illusion of way more bass than there actually is.

My gf loves her pair, to me they're absolutely weird.

I'm been using Spotify since forever but never with the 'proper equipment'. Since they don't have HiFi audio I started thinking on a change.

Interesting that you mention Amazon Music. I didn't think on it at all haha But I'll keep it in mind.

Spotify and Youtube.

It takes careful attention and excellent equipment (and pretty good hearing) to hear the difference between lossless and 320kps Ogg Vorbis. Spotify is $11/mo and includes Hulu (with ads). I'm pleased with it.

Yeah. Once you buy the .flac files, they're yours.

Spotify 320kps Ogg Vorbis is damn good enough. The interface is unbeaten, the selection is larger than I'll ever need it to be. The volume normalization alone puts it above all the others.

Unfortunately I have already returned the headphone but thanks anyways!

Thanks for the answer. And the music you buy on Qobuz, could you move to other device in other to use another app to play it? Or maybe store it on a hard drive¿?
