currently theres a bit of a draught in the 500-1k price tag
dawn ice
yup
summer flicker
most dacts in this area just sound the same
molten lotus
a bit is an understatement
lean grove
I've got my eyes on the vmv d1se
dawn ice
realistically, buying a dac above zen one is gonna make you pay 10x more for a 5% gain, which is probably best case scenario
molten lotus
5 to 10%
summer flicker
its only really when you get past that and you start toying with things like Callia, Soekris 2541, and the more upper echelon pro dacs do you start to see some stark differences
dawn ice
maybe, ive not tried any end game dac's properly
ill probs just stick with das703es for my dac
dont see a point in going past it
summer flicker
dc2 is the best dac ive heard so far
its claim to fame ironically enough is crazy macrodynamics
the thing is extremely agressive
relatively wide staging
u shape tone
dawn ice
for me, the 2 best ones that i got to properly try are yggy and das703
both of which i own atm lol
tho will likely sell yggy in the long run
summer flicker
yggy used to be the big thing in macrydynamics before dc2 came and blew the competition out of the water iirc
summer flicker
i say 'came', but its more like 'was found out'
dawn ice
but ye, gonna either look for an amp or just cop an ar15 with the money i get from yggy lol
summer flicker
honestly i think solid states cap out pretty early.
dawn ice
maybe
summer flicker
like 1-2k ish
dawn ice
i havent tried many high end amps
lean grove

Well assuming you have a pair of headphones that you like, that's a 5% gain you're not gonna find anywhere else
summer flicker
theres the zahl memes though
dawn ice
i mean, yes, if you want the best sound you can possibly get, then spending a lot on the dac is going to give you that
but its just not cost effective
summer flicker
i heard good things about those if you have an infinite wallet
unique wind
audiophiles spending 4 figures on dacs for a 5% improvement but dissing people who spend more than $100 on a microphone
summer flicker
dawn ice
nah thats deffo out of my budget
hsa-1b is already a stretch
maybe ill get another vintage meme idk
dawn ice
yup
unique wind
if you buy that and you don’t have a 6 figure income 
summer flicker
youre either extremely into audio or just clout chasing
unique wind
either way it’s a poor financial decision unless you make 6 figures
summer flicker
yeah. the hobby in general is just poor financial decisions one after the other
unique wind
it’s okay it’s fun
summer flicker
most people ought to be able to content themselves with a 560s through a dongle imo
summer flicker
theyre okay
dawn ice
real goat is xs
unique wind
i find my he400se piercing even though they have smooth treble frequency response so i don’t know what to believe anymore
summer flicker
good for the price, prefer hd6x0 line personally but i just dont believe it holds up super well through a dongle so you need some source investment
it is defintely far more natural though
the 6x0 line that is
summer flicker
i find my he400se piercing even though they have smooth treble frequency respons...
yes it has annoying as fuck treble
560s is a little better in that regard
its still hot in the treble though
6x0 line smooth as butter in that region
unique wind
what would you recommend for something that doesn’t have annoying treble but has more bass than sennys
summer flicker
price tag?
unique wind
sub 1k
dawn ice
xs
summer flicker
cant comment on xs
unique wind
hard for me to believe xs doesn’t have annoying treble with all the frequency response peaks it has
dawn ice
xs is the best tuned hifiman currently for sale
unique wind
its treble tuning is literally a rollercoaster
dawn ice
its still a tiny bit brighter then harman, but not much, and the treble is never shouty or piercing
unique wind
it’s up and down 5db peaks
dawn ice
at least off a decent amp
past like, 5k, measurments dont really mean much
since the rigs cant really measure them properly
or is it 10k i forget
unique wind
10k iirc
dawn ice
either way, xs treble doesnt feel peaky
summer flicker
lcd2 pre fazor is downright dark. but has some of the best bass pre 1k
dawn ice
lcd2 pre fazor is downright dark. but has some of the best bass pre 1k
that 100% depends on your rng lol
summer flicker
emu teak has a little bit of an agressive treble curve, but has again some of the best bass pre 1k
summer flicker
they remade the headphone with new drivers essentially
unique wind
so would you mean the lcd2 classic
summer flicker
nope
not at all
that headphone is beyond dogshit
i know its confusing
lcd2.2 i think theyre called officially
is pre fazor
emu teak is more accessible if you are wary about buying used
dawn ice
some lcd2c's can be great
lean grove
It's weird how they say the lcd2 was supposed to be a copy of the pre fazor
dawn ice
some are trash
just like literally every audeze
it all depends on your luck of the draw
since they got insane driver variation
summer flicker
lcd2c i dont think has the same unit variance memes
i had a pretty well measuring unit
it still sounded like ass
dawn ice
i doubt it, there driver variaton basically comes from there inability to tension there drivers properly
i highly doubt that they lost the tech half way through making headphones lol
summer flicker
unique wind
paying that much for a lottery of quality is wack
dawn ice
yah, this is why i never recommend audeze
ive heard some unicorns, lcd3 ive had to try for a couple of days was particularly sweet
summer flicker
thing about audeze is theyre pretty flexible to eq
dawn ice
but like, its basically a lottery in terms of what you get
summer flicker
theyre chameleons
dawn ice
youre not going to eq out poor driver tension
unique wind
i also kind of want these beauts https://www.linsoul.com/products/tangzu-x-hbb-wu-heyday
summer flicker
another one with good bass but god awful treble, which can be eq'd out as its an eq chameleon is hd800. stock tuning is awful, it its very susceptible to eq. will take a large ass bass shelf like an absolute champ
dawn ice
i got jabaited in to buying a shit lcdx a while back, you honestly cant eq out a turd
unique wind
f
dawn ice
the shop i bought them from back in the day keeps a really old lcd-x that im certain they hand picked to audition, to bate people in to buying them lol
they also had a golden 2pf
summer flicker
i doubt the shop cares that much
most people that go inside an audio store already knows what theyre buying
dawn ice
i mean, both the cans were suspiciously old, sounded really good, and they were reluctant to let me demo there newer stock
so it was pretty sus
it was a small shop
summer flicker
i reckon the ones that they put on display are not exactly ones they paid for
dawn ice
maybe
summer flicker
but i could be wrong
dawn ice
either way, unless youre 100% sure youre buying a unicorn, audeze is not a smart buy
summer flicker
you can be with used ones
as they give you the fr graph with the box
you can just ask
dawn ice
if you trust the seller then yah
unique wind
just steal ones from a show
dawn ice
plenty better shit to steal lol
dawn ice
tru
unique wind
my next audio purchase is probably another set of speakers because i’m still using dogshit at my desk
put my jamo c93s on my tv setup
dawn ice
noic
summer flicker
but yeah unfortunately when it comes to neutral tone headphones theres really not much out there with good bass
emu teak gets pretty close
still hot in the treble though
maybe less hot than 560s
if memory serves me well
unique wind
i’m probably stuck with iems forever
summer flicker
iem bass is just not my thing
its limp beyond belief, probably due to the sound being directly shot in your ears
0 sense of rumble
0 tactility
actually pretty decently neutral
little bit of a dip in the mids unfortunately
which will translate to slightly harsher treble
but not by much
either way the bass is 
whats also convenient is the thing will run fine off a dongle
unique wind
iem bass sounds pretty similar to subwoofer bass to me it’s just localized to your ears
molten lotus
thing about audeze is theyre pretty flexible to eq
isn't that just a shared feature of any half decent planar
even lcd2c which is shit can become decent with eq
though its not worth buying one for all of the things you can't eq out
summer flicker
not always. gotta be careful with that
unique wind
yeah but not the one in the XS it already has distortion out of box
molten lotus
for example?
summer flicker
try eqing any of the abyss headphones lol
molten lotus
I wouldn't think of spending 5k on cans to fucking eq them
unique wind
ananda has crazy bass distortion and the xs is just a cheaper bass boosted ananda
summer flicker
they probably eq on average better than DDs though
dds you gotta be extra careful
unique wind
I wouldn't think of spending 5k on cans to fucking eq them
real
molten lotus
dds you gotta be extra careful
as in to not damage the driver or ruin audio
summer flicker
I wouldn't think of spending 5k on cans to fucking eq them
well then you just live with the god awful tuning
summer flicker
as in to not damage the driver or ruin audio
well, to not damage the driver its both dds and planars
molten lotus
I don't believe in this
summer flicker
you can easily tear a fat ass hole in your driver with too large a bass shelf
molten lotus
on which headphones
summer flicker
people get on discord trying to show people clips of their drivers vibrating
unique wind
my dt770 completely fall apart with any bass shelf
summer flicker
and they pop their shit
summer flicker
but nah what i mostly meant was for audio reasons
summer flicker
a lot of headphones just dont take well to an eq
molten lotus
I am saying you can eq things out of reasonable without blowing your shit
unique wind
keep in mind bass can be very distorted without being audibly fucked
molten lotus
eq has its clear limits audio wise
unique wind
subwoofers can run at like 10% thd
molten lotus
but driver healthy wise I have not seen examples of shit dying
summer flicker
for the same reason that you can brek your headphones if you play them too loudly, you can break them with too agressive an eq
molten lotus
keep in mind bass can be very distorted without being audibly fucked
I absolutely agree
unique wind
so you could be damaging your drivers without hearing anything wrong
molten lotus
before you break shit they would start audibly clipping physically
which is a warning signal
it isn't that easy to blow stuff
summer flicker
hey ive never personally done it so i cant attest
but 1000%
ive seen people do it
molten lotus
you can absolutely do it
unique wind
i’ve never been able to break any headphones or earbuds
it’s really easy to bottom out speakers though
molten lotus
but you have plenty of warnings the headphone physically gives you before it gets to that point
if the bass just starts dying
maybe you should eq less
summer flicker
idk mate
molten lotus
if the headphone sounds like its destroying itself it probably is lmao
summer flicker
some people pop their he6's without much warning
some headphones are just really finnicky
molten lotus
that's just speaker tapping stuff mostly
summer flicker
yeh i mean, its power right
molten lotus
it has some other factors related to the engineering
that makes it different from a headphone amp
like
summer flicker
either way, i was talking mostly about the audio side
molten lotus
it should be safe but it can totally go wrong too
summer flicker
some headphones take noticably better to a solid bass eq
molten lotus
yeah I agree with everything you said regarding that
summer flicker
while others you have to like
either force them out of it with massive eqs or just live with it
molten lotus
yeah some you just have to adjust according to what the driver can handle
hence why crinacle autoeq is a fucking meme
oh look guise -5dB dip lets just add +5dB
unique wind
yeah some you just have to adjust according to what the driver can handle
ASR does this
amir on asr i mean
molten lotus
no they don't
unique wind
which is nice
molten lotus
they really don't
unique wind
they do
molten lotus
nah
unique wind
you can say nah but that’s part of their process
molten lotus
to correct things with eq you first need to actually be able to measure headphones good
summer flicker
what klaus means is you cant just adjust things by eye
molten lotus
or by maths
summer flicker
sometimes you have to work around it
molten lotus
since drivers aren't going to respond to any peak eq the way it shows on a graph
its going to vary
summer flicker
yeh likeu cant just go like oh theres a -5 dip here ill just do +5 and call it a day, sometimes you gotta adjust whats around the dip instead of the dip itself
molten lotus
like
I assure you
calculated eq does not fucking look like this
nor do they have any graphs for an error curve or anything
unlike oratory and the entirety of headphone autoeq project
well at least he is aware of it
also droop
summer flicker
i mean thats a big reason why amir is such a meme
molten lotus
yeah
summer flicker
he will evaluate headphones while fully realizing he has huge variance issues
molten lotus
the rest is probably about him proclaiming that dacs that all measure linearly but with like 0.001 less thd is better than another
summer flicker
i dont really understand why he thinks its useful information to anybody to evaluate a headphone when you have notable gaps in your mounting
molten lotus
its probably the ears measurement rig
molten lotus
I don't know how you can mess it up like this otherwise
I have seen better measurements on ears
than this
summer flicker
good question. hes got a full ass rig
summer flicker
thats a pretty good rig iirc
molten lotus
same
summer flicker
hes just an idiot i guess
molten lotus
maybe they don't clamp enough because the rig is not wide enough or something
I don't know
summer flicker
if it wa a single instance then yeah sure
molten lotus
it is double sided but still
summer flicker
this happens ona regular basis with him
molten lotus
it may just be me but the rig just seems slimmer than the human head
molten lotus
lmao
do you know when the new rig is dropping btw
the one everyone was talking about
summer flicker
no idea
molten lotus
with the convoluted fucking name

hello

Hey yall, i got a pair of sennhieser hd 6xx headphones and was looking for a amp to pair them with, i am new to the audiophile gig so id like something with a good price and can get the full quality of my headset
I do play games so if you can as extra points, point me to a eq that may help with games like cod (i use the Peace eq)
lean grove
Hey yall, i got a pair of sennhieser hd 6xx headphones and was looking for a amp...
Schiit is a good brand to start out with.
And an EQ will not help you be better at games.
past badger
Better audio for quieter sounds like footstpes
Steps*
So would the magni 3 be decent?
molten lotus
that wont really help
unique wind
yeah there’s not really any way to eq headphones that gives you an advantage
and many pro players use absolutely terrible gaming headsets or shitty earbuds
6xx on its own should be more than enough
past badger
alright, then would a amp still be reccomended or just keep what i have where its 3.5mm to type c
dawn ice
if you got a dongle then its got an amp built in to it
a more legit dedicated amp will help tho
would look at the ifi zen dac for an all in 1 solution, should be a good upgrade over a random dongle
bitter hollow
Apple dongle is great
past badger
looked simple to use too
past badger
Apple dongle is great
i know, i have no issue with it but i hear you can get more from a headset with a full amp
dawn ice
well zen dac should improve things
molten lotus
it wont matter at all for gaming
dawn ice
its more of a dac then an amp, but it also has a p aight amp built in to it
sennys dont need much amping so should be fine for them
past badger
i see
dawn ice
ive heard a lot of mid impressions of schiits super budget stuff so would avoid personally
past badger
Idk man, like i said, im new so i need some judgement from others to help me out
dawn ice
best way to figure this kind of stuff out is to go in to a hifi store and try some of there stuff out
get a short list from people online on what to check out and head on over :p
unique wind
the only issue i have with my schiit iemagni is that it has a scratchy analogue pot but it’s not a big deal
schiit is selling silver magni3+ b-stock for $80 on their site
and jotunheims with dac modules for $300
dawn ice
is that new?
dawn ice
jot2 with a dac for 300 would deffo be my pick if i didnt have an amp/dac at all
unique wind
the jot is b stock as well
ocean pulsar
i don't recommend it
its not meant for high power stuff, its for highly sensitive stuff and is pretty good for that
dawn ice
where do you see it
unique wind
molten lotus
its not meant for high power stuff, its for highly sensitive stuff and is pretty...
yeah i know
unique wind
it’s a jot “r”
molten lotus
he is asking for the 6xx though so I don't recommend it
unique wind
not sure what the suffix means
dawn ice
mmm, yah, idk how r differs from the stock one
i didnt even know there were a non lcd-r/raal specific jot r
idk i feel like they goofed and didnt put the ''raal only'' disclaimer on one of the jot r's
unique wind
asgard with dac module for $300 is nice too but it’s not an american plug
unique wind
ur buggin
dawn ice
nah its for sure better then apple dongle lol
the integrated dacs are actually not bad
at least the v1 wasnt bad
molten lotus
its barely better lol
unique wind
same goes for all dacs
apple dongle gets you 90% of the way there
a decent $100 dac is 95%
then you spend four figures to reach 100%
molten lotus
that is literally because modi 3+ is barely better than an apple dongle
and afaik the asgard integrated also uses the same chip
molten lotus
my bad
idk if to put here or #cars but does this subwoofer seem ok for $215?
I believe it's only 100watts or some thing
unique wind
@lunar jackal

have you tried replacing the USB cable for your interface
sometimes that causes some issues
or a different port entirely
also go into your device properties and make sure everything is set right
also isolate whether it's just discord or your entire mic
if it's just discord it has something to do withbyour discord settings
runic blade
It's definitely the mic or the interface. I switched to using my webcam mic for a few days and the issue went away.
I tried a different port but not a different cable. It's a USB A style cable, so I don't have a spare.
I'd find it difficult to believe the cable is responsible for the volume issue given it's a digital signal, not analog.

So my DT 770s are starting to misbehave after 4 years and sometimes output to only one ear. While I'm gonna troubleshoot that a bit and hopefully get that working reliably again, I might be looking for a new pair. I prefer closed back (up at ungodly hours with sleeping people nearby) and I've been perfectly happy with how the 770s sound so I might get those again, but I'm curious if the audio gurus here might have alternative suggestions for similar budget I should look at or if theres an obvious step up I should consider if I'm willing to spend more.
unique wind
closed vs open back is more of a concern if you have a loud environment moreso than other people hearing your music
but if you tell us what country you’re from and what your budget is that’ll help us give you a suggestion

Canada, budget is somewhat flexible. Don't wanna go completely wild with 1k+ headphones, but I would at least consider looking at things in the 500 range (although I'd be most comfortable sticking in the 200ish range where the 770s live). [numbers in cad]

Hey. I have a question that sounds interesting to do but I don't want to fry anything in trying it
If I plugged in a Jack to Jack wire from my Monitors Headphone slot to my Motherboards Microphone port, would I be able to route my monitors audio to the PC and have it pick up?
Reposting in here because I somehow ended up posting this in the wrong channel

just give it a shot
it only takes a few minutes to set up
if you're on windows, I believe a voice recorder is preinstalled
then play some kind of audio and see if it picks it up nicely

I'm on Linux Mint currently.
Thinking about it I don't know if I have a jack to jack wire, but I do have a jack in jack out wire and a Jack to USB-C adapter I could try. My PC has a USB-C slot
But overall, it's not going to fry anything if i try this?

if you've ever tried before, your speakers or headphones can also act like a microphone if you plug the speakers into the microphone jack

Hey yall, does anyone here have a true surround sound system for PC?
I dont mean like a living room system
PC only??
dawn ice
if you want good stage with speakers youll need a lot of room treatment
so a much easyer way is headphones
your results with speakers will also depend a lot on the room youre starting off in
if it has really bad acoustics theres only so much you can do

it doesn’t really matter for a sim game setup
you’re just looking for directional audio not audiophile stereo music setup quality

Speakers are generally bad for gaming so I never bothered looking into surround

do speakers with directional sound exist, lel

Your game engine generally saturates audio to sound different from different directions so speakers are generally not as good

If headphones don't satisfy you, you either have speakers worth 500$ at minimum or didn't try good headphones

audio engines do an incredible job on their own with Audiovisual directional cues to the point where they just dont actually need the aid of a super competent headphone. Tone is about the only thing id seriously consider for gaming and even then its iffy because games will be mastered differently

ive compared hd800s, to some other headphones available to me at the time, to some iems. i found that on average they did not change much in accuracy, because, again. The engine is doing the heavy lifting. You can usually tell exactly where something is in most games, with basically anything.
molten lotus
The engine changes
If x engine handles directional saturation good it doesn't mean the next one will
dry stratus
I am neither, but sure
rough jolt
what kind of hyper competitive games with shit audio engines are you playing
molten lotus
Source has a shit audio engine for one and you need good imaging headphones to actually tell whether people are ahead or behind you
I don't
But even 5 seconds was enough to tell how big of a difference there was between a good imaging headphones vs a bad one for a game with barely saturates audio engine
dry stratus
I am not a gamer, I wouldn't do it
I would rather just put 15k to a susvara at some point, lel
molten lotus
And I don't even play competitively
summer flicker
to top everything off, most game audio is compressed as shit because guess what, audio file sizes are fucking huge
molten lotus
That doesn't matter
summer flicker
so its not like its gonna get much leverage out of your headphones quality
it absolutely does
rough jolt
Give me an example of a game where you would actually want good imaging headphones because the audio engine is shit

unless you consider barely 20 hours in 2-3 months "a gamer"

they saturate audio based on enemy positions

Before you pay attention to audio to deduce location you will use your eyes and reflexes

spending the big money on headphones is something you would do once you're already at custom keyboard (or one of the top end consumer stuff), M2K, 240/360hz display and at least i7+3080 anyway
