So the recommendation would be to use preferably low gain in order to turn the volume way up?

So wait. The Heresy has channel imbalance? How obvious is that and how can you tell?

That’s was my question. So it is not a true balanced output?

Thank you. The thing is, I dont use a computer for my desktop listening. I'm still a bit old fashion; my Onkyo CD player as source for my CD collection, into a Schiit Modi3+ Dac and a Magni Heresy amp. How can one EQ in a set up like that?

Thank you Robbo... and yeah, my K702 are new and in fact my ears do not touch the drivers, so I think I'm safe then. Btw I'm considering getting the K712 just to listen that "a tad of added warmness" to the AKG sound (which I like) that may fit my taste even better. But I was wondering... what...

Do you recommend the pads even for a couple of months old K702s ?

Yeah, I mean, give it some time but you ultimately trust your own perception because its your own, and as I said we all are under different variables. Personally I can say the MSR7b perform much better than they look. They have a fairly neutral signature with a very open and transparent...

I received mine (MSR7B) some weeks ago and I just love them. Sound very realistic, organic and open for a CB headphone, kind of an open sound in a closed headphone, which makes them feel weird imho. They have sort of a liquid quality in the sound, non dry at all. I just loved them and I decided...

Hi. Has anyone used this player (or de updated Pro X version) just as a transport of the clean Hi-Res signal to an external DAC vía its USB output? It says in the description the USB input/output can be used as a SPIDF source. Is that right?

Hi guys. I’m having difficult time deciding between these two closed back headphones; the AKG AK553 MKII and the Audio Technica MST7B. I want it as a CB alternative for night listenings. To those of you that have experienced both, which one do you feel have the better detail retrieval and...

@Earfonia Thank you both for your very insightful answers. I have a 1More Quad Driver earphone and AKG k702 and HD6XX open headphones, and also ATH A900X (closed). So I’m looking for a complementary sound signature for my collection. the 1More Quad Drivers which sounds great but have a very...

By the way. I’m also considering the AKG K553 Pro (closed back) for these same purposes

oh Interesting. So you think the newer Midnight Yume have better detail retrieval than the Kato? There’s not much reviews yet for those so I had been holding up about them. I’ve read than for orchestral and soundtracks specially a single DD may be a better and more consistent and organic option.

Oh yes. Funny you mention the Etys, because I just returned the ER4SR. I couldn’t handle the deep insertion, just too weird and uncomfortable and never could achieved a seal. So basically I’m back to square one and waiting my refund to order the K371 or the Katos.

damn so not as comfortable as I imagined.
