Just ordered these after much hmmm and hahhhhh. I was in the same position regarding the Variations the last time they went on offer but decided far too much £ for an FR that was a bit more V shaped than I actually liked. But the Nova is 1/3 of the price and I want to see if I can get to like...

Pretty sure I recall a comment somewhere from MC to that effect.

You mean @Geert response here? https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/can-you-hear-any-audible-difference-if-they-are-measured-as-audibly-transparent.53959/post-1957137 Pretty clear what I meant earlier in this thread if you'd bothered to read the first few pages of this...

Deary me- just pack it in

Assuming the right measurements, yes.

Excellent. Thanks. I'll definitely consider this.

Thanks for joining the discussion. Does it / could it have crossfeed capability and l/r balance adjustment? For me, those 2 functions as well as good 10+ band PEQ are essential to move from a source device DSP solution to a dac based implementation.

No idea. From memory of posts I have read on here Mac handles the dac interface differently but never had a Mac.

Ability to pass digital stream from player software to dac avoiding OS audio stack. Or bit perfect if you like. Android and Windows both resample everything (and possibly apply dsp) if not in exclusive mode. (that's my layman take) As to why,,,, suppose that depends on ones use case and needs.

To be clear, they are not suggesting that the recording format/encoding made the sacd sound better. They suggest it may be due to these being the kind of audiophile records I personally despise but are technically very well recorded, engineered, mixed, mastered etc. Take those recordings and...

Same here. It's very hard to listen to them now. You can eq out the sound a bit and the ones with salad bowl pads are very comfy but they just arent a safe recommendation for anybody really. If anyone must try them, get the 60s. It has no worse flaws than the rest of the range!

One thing I can guarantee still holds true. Massively overpriced

Say no more

Qobuz is comparable to tidal's new price per month in the UK if you pay for the year and around £1 more per month to pay monthly. EU is getting ripped off!

Probably an inevtable move from Tidal. Other than Spotify the other services were offering higher than 16/44 for less than the tidal high res tier. Not a great place for a relatively niche service to be. Which makes Spotifys (maybe) move to move into the higher price bracket for lossless even...

Yes but there are all in one boxes that are both cheaper and objectively better that do too. For what headphones?

@markanini too They did. Initially pllenty of bass from laptop with 3.5mm, used free DSP, no bass (so far, so good, likely impedance difference) but now no bass in any configuration including back to 3.5mm with laptop. So it's either connection issue, user error, some DSP somewhere mucking...

They seem (if it happens) to be going down the lossless plus other features /services route. Doesn't convince me and likely not many others but it's a slight difference to others.

I'm waiting them to clarify but I am pretty sure they mean they plugged back with 3.5mm into the laptop after the free DSP and didn't have the bass they had with that combo initially.
