>>100049979
I'm too tired to read into that ifi meme but basically some headphones need more power to produce the sound they're meant to produce without distortion and it's self explanatory that having headroom is better. Doesn't mean you should use an amp where you have the volume knob at 9 o'clock before it becomes too loud, but you also don't want one where you're cranking the knob to 90% volume just to get to actual listening levels.

i'm using a cheap ass usb dac/amp and yet it claims i have TOO MUCH power for the majority of the headphones i checked using the calculator, that's the weird part of me. i don't want to keep my volume down to such a level i'm losing sound quality to not damage my ears

hope it makes more sense now

No such thing. Although a better amp could also provide better sound quality at lower levels, but a better amp will just be better in general, so don't sweat it.

Look elsewhere.

>>100050060
Max power of an amp doesn't mean anything. There are amps that can boil a kettle with the cleanest sine waves imaginable. And there are weak ass amps that will always hiss. The root issue is the absolute noise floor but it's difficult to present in a useful way.

>>100050071
>Or just mod porta pros.
that looks pretty doable, thanks

>>100050164
Keep in mind you will lose all bass. This is the nature of the beast, headphones need a full seal for bass.

ok but that headphone isnt particularly demanding and with -10dB preamp on hd650 youre at only 104dB
i dont get that 2 bit thing anywhere on the site either

>>100050267
the 2bit thing is when you press on the iematch thing down below, here's the link anyway:
https://ifi-audio.com/products/iematch/

the problem it isn't just the aeon it's almost and headphone i tried. and the one i'm getting hd600 was only 1db away from the cutoff

>>100050349
The 2 bits number comes from converting dynamic range to bits. 6dB = 1 bit and it attenuates the sound by 12dB. But if you hear no hiss you aren't getting those 2 bits.

>>100050401
i don't understand all the technical terms. bottom line no hiss = no audio quality loss? the only thing that matters to me is not fucking shit up

almost every headphone i tested was in red, don't get it

>>100050434
Says right there
>Do your earphones suffer from irritating hiss and pop?
If not then don't buy it.

>>100050464
look at the section i highlighted in>>100049961
(it's at the bottom of the second link i sent you)

the argument that is made is that you can use the "proper" volume for some headphones without damging your hearing because it would be too strong, so you need to lower the volume to a level where you lose sound quality

now if the lost sound quality comes if the form of the hisses you mentioned i'm just being retarded and wasting everyone's time but it seems these two phenomena (hissing and lost sound quality) aren't necessarily connected to each other

theyre shit and expensive

what's a single ended headphone and what's the difference compared to balanced?

>>100054886
On a single ended headphone both drivers negative terminals are connected together and fed from a single source on the amp.
On balanced headphones each driver has a separate positive and negative connection and the two negative connections are fed separately by the amp (assuming the amp has a true balanced architecture)

>>100051658

>>100055456
Are more expensive planars generally better? I tried some cheaper ones and decided to just stick to dynamic driver headphones, since the planars just sounded kinda weak.

Is it true that planar headphones sound more like speakers? Can someone who tried planars describe to me the difference with regular headphones?

>>100059321
Buy Aeon X closed/open and never look back

>>100059321
No headphone sounds anything like speakers. It's just not how it works. Planars usually have better bass though.

Is there anything to look out when buying online to make sure the headphones won't be too tight? I live in a rural area there's not many stores around to try them before buying.

>>100060560
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/table/135414

Haven't heard them, but the fr looks ok enough, bass is very rolled off through. The measurements are taken from the original one but they're supposed to sound the same. Didn't like the Chifimans I've heard and Moondrop's offerings also don't seem than appealing, in this price range, dynamics are probably better value.

>>100072373
Where I live Tidal has a better library than amazon music and Qobuz, the problem with Tidal is MQA but they are moving from it. Amazon Music was ok but the exclusive mode was shit. Qobuz mid software and much better exclusive mode than both tidal and amazon music, they also offered more info about the music itself which was a plus.
Can't comment on apple and deezer.

Noob question, but I've been searching for an hour and can't find an answer

I just ordered an Asgard 3 with a DAC module for sole use with my heaphones

I currently have a Xonar Essence sound card installed in the computer

The port on the back of the module looks like a printer cable connection

Do I plug the Asgard into a USB-C port in lieu of using my soundcard??

What's the correct way of setting this up?

>>100075677
Just sounds like a USB-B connector. You'd hook that up to whatever USB port on your PC. It should then see the asgard as an audio device and you can then set it so your audio goes through it.

>>100075736
So skip my soundcard altogether?

After looking around I decided to go ahead and buy the HD560s(mainly for music, movies, games since I can just buy an audio cable with integrated boom mic).
I found that with my phone and galaxy buds 2 I'm usually listening at 70-80 dB, so if I got that right my PC as the source should have no problems driving it to those levels and I have no need for a pricy amp/etc.?
Would there be any reason/benefits to getting a $10 apple dongle or equivalent?

>>100076940
Does your phone has a 3.5mm jack?

>>100077047
The HD560s will be used for PC and was asking about the apple dongle for that, the phone isn't oart of my decision.
I have buds for my phone already but yeah obviously I could use it for the phone too.

>>100077090
just test out your headphones first, if you want to go louder, then consider a cheap dac/amp, but if you really only listen at 70-80 db, you should be fine

Bot has been changed to a modular structure, making it faster, more customizable and easier to add new features.Lets go over some of the changes and additions.

• Podcasts and Artist (platforms that were missing them) requests have been added for the current supported platforms.
• Extra metadata acquisition has been improved, it is now faster and more accurate.
• Status will now be displaying the various stages (Processing/Downloading/Post Processing/Zipping/Uploading) of the process of your request along with a live progress bar.
• Cancel feature has been added and will be displayed below your request in the status message (Used both in private messages and group).
• An Invite command has been created so you can get the current group invite and share it.
• Countries command will now display dates as well.
• Search has been improved and the results will now be displayed natively on telegram as well as on graph (When searching for Amazon music videos, please note that you may encounter some videos that are no longer available on the platform. These videos cannot be requested, as they are remnants in the API).
• A Config command has been created, allowing you to customize the end result of your request. Run the command for better clarification.
• New request parameters have been introduced, check Help command for better clarification (Quality ID 0 has been removed).
• Idagio, Kkbox, Napster and Bugs
• Apple Music ALAC and Dolby Atmos support has been added (track/album requests only, with a queue of one per time for albums, long duration tracks wont be ripped).• Amazon FLAC will now have matching md5 sum with Qobuz FLAC etc.
• Deezer will now support Sony 360 Reality Audio.• Soundcloud original files acquisition.
• Tidal FLAC has been added but you can also pick MQA.

The HD600 I've had for over 10 years, the d5200 for just over a year. Maybe I'll see another set of cans in that range which I'll add, but I don't think I'll venture out of this price bracket.

I don't wanna be rude bro but I don't know how to reply to you guys anymore. I feel bad for ignoring you guys, but there's multiple of you asking the same thing over and over again in each thread.

>>100085890
Momentum 4 ofc

>>100085921
AKG K361BT has no ANC and the build quality is garbage, just google it and you'll see tons of broken yokes

>>100085937
It's a snake oil and dying hobby, what more can I say

>>100085955
Not like anon mentioned needing ANC, but the build quality part is a shame.

>>100085955
I looked it up and Momentum 4 seems to be really popular with everyone, guess I will go to the store to hear it first before pulling the plug

this nigga bout to "pull the plug" on some headphones

Any diy guys still around?
Has anyone messed with these chink planar drivers at all?
I see em going for around $100 on AliExpress.

>>100088498
>Any diy guys still around?
Sure, but not for the headphones themselves.

>>100088498
what is the point of diy if the only part of the headphone that matters aka driver is impossible to diy

>>100089322
you can definitely diy planar driver

Anyone have any suggestions for a new pair of pads to replace my stock pads on the AKG K702s? I've had these bad boys for more than a decade but it's time for a replacement, the cushion is nearly gone.

>>100089322
People have made DIY estats too, it's not like it's impossible.

>>100089448
Dekoni. They also publish FR graphs for how much the pads affect the sound which is nice.

>>100089476
Nice rec, thanks. I'll pick a set up from here.

someone got a solution on how to fix the headband on this othewise glorious piece of gear (avantone planar)?

>>100092825
What you mean that little crack? Either glue it or 3D print a replacement piece (and sand it if you want it to look smooth).

>>100092878
naah not the crack thats just the a plastic seam (no its not all out of steel).. the band is main band is way to inflexible and wobbly inside.. I thought about like putting some gel pads on the inside of the band like this .. anyone got ideas where to get something like that?

>>100092928
Could do what that one anon did and get a headband made out of 3D printed TPU. Not sure if a model exists for the avantone in particular though.

>>100092939
> 3D printed TPU
ow yes! good idea
>exists for the avantone
nah I think not, nothing exists for the avantone, way to niche

>>100092956
If you have experience with CAD (or know someone that does) it shouldn't be too hard to whip up a model for a headband, especially since you have the actual headband to go off of.

I think I contact a friend.. I just dont want look it like pic related .. making Id rather die than mod my planars into such an abominiation

>>100093004
You could probably also just contact this seller and see if they'd make you a headband for the avantone.

thank you anon! you just made me happy

>>100092825
not related but how is the avantone planar compare to hifiman and other planar in the same price range like edition xs, ollo s5x, etc. sound wise?

>>100093073
vs edition xs its way more analytical, the planars are made as monitors first, but the bass is not what most would want (many would say its sounds flat in lowends, but I like it) ... I have not listened to the ollo s5x so I cant say but I guess its also more made for "fun" listening ..

one thing about the avantone for me is unparallaled tho: the audio positioniong is in its own class of all headphones I ever heard .. for the price its hard to find better magnetic planars

>>100093326
>do you have any experience with audeze's headphones?
I sadly have not, that said the avantone planars are of often compared to the audeze LCD-X in neutral sound, pretty much the only two neutral sounding planars I know of .. just that the audeze cost $1500

The DT 770 pro X arrived

Are there any decent chink headphones for under $50?

>>100095989
Superlux.
I had one for 3 years before the plastic broke.
Great audio quality for cheap.

>>100095989
you can pay street whores to lick your ears while giving you handjob with half that money(ive done it)

>>100095989
under $50 i think chink iems are better

>>100095867
hf! I heard build quality is most excellent, report how you like the sound tho

>>100096110
Compared to the non x 770 it feels much nicer to wear. Feels like I'm not wearing anything at all.
As for sound, I can't fucking tell a difference.

>>100096128
>Feels like I'm not wearing anything at all.

then they delivered what they promised, seems to be a win

*$60000

with some vouchers and a temporary discount, I can buy new he400se's for like equivalent to 45 dollars. Is a Moondrop Dawn Pro enough to run these? Or should I buy something else for a similar price?

>>100096040
Yeah but will they do that 24/7 for years for a one-time payment of $25?

my dream https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/98642516/#98668150 is finally coming true finally.
since i've found shitty buds (Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2) here, i can leave the qc[15, 25, 35] and the Benz pair there and bring only the buds back.
there will no longer be casual, on-the-go audio for me and maybe that's for the best.

Here's the deal. Currently my computer is several feet away from where I set, I run a fiio dac cabled across the floor to where I'm at but I have no microphone capability. Ideally I don't want to run a second cable across the floor for a separate to get mic functionality.

>>100098006
and to add a question to this post, should I just get a good usb gaming headset (are there any?) or should I try to run something like that schitt dac and attach a separate mic to a regular headset

Is that a Panasonic tau?

>>100098121
No it's a SD trinitron.

Can anyone give me a few pointers to what headset to buy? I've finally gotten some money and I want to buy new audio stuff.

Location: Brazil macaco;
Budget: I don't have like a hard limit or idea, I'm looking for something that isn't expensive as fuck while still delivering a good quality;
Intended use: Music, gaming, maybe mixing;
Kind (open or closed, over-ear or on-ear): Closed back, over-ear;
Preferred tonal balance (or genres you like): as flat as possible;
Past headphones and your thoughts on them: just gaymer stuff;
Source(s) (PC, interface, headphone amp, phone, ...): PC, but I'd buy an amp. Would also appreciate an amp recommendation to go with the headset.

>>100099428
how much money you have brazil man

>>100099496
maybe like 3k BRL

>>100099777
DCA Aeon Closed X

>>100099884
was gonna say that. but if you dont wanna use all that money, buy dt 770 pro x

>>100095867
Should I get these? I used to use DT770 until the cable just exploded one day, ended up replacing it with a DT990 3 years ago to try out openback and while it's still working the earpads have half detached and the plastic tabs literally crumbled to dust for some reason. I also want to go back to closed back for the better noise isolation.

>>100100044
They should be just like DT770 but with better every so go for them if you like DT770

>>100101611
*better everything
