    HD800S vs LCD-GX - Differing equipment and a question on whether I have poor ears

    OK so now I have managed to get my Essence STX ii working again on my PC (I set the PCIe port to Gen 2 for anyone else with the same issue, ASUS X570-F Gaming motherboard although it would work on others too I assume) and am having trouble noticing much difference between that and the RME ADI-2...

So many years ago I got into 'top-end' headphones in the late 90s/early 00s whilst playing competitive shooters, the game I...
