Hey everyone,
I’m new to this forum. I was on head-if for a long time. Then I recently found this place. I really enjoy seeing the measurements. I like having the ability to see some objective information about the compotenets I’m going to buy/ thinking about buying.
I currently have the the HD-6XX and I just got the HiFiman HE400i.
I have ordered the JDS labs El DAC and the El Amp (based on reviews I’ve seen them seem to be really good bang for buck). My goal is to run them off of an iPad Pro. I have a newer iPad with a usb type c connection. So, I should be able to figure it out.
My main question to everyone, what do I listen for when comparing headphones. In my lifetime I have owned the Westone w3, Beyerdynamic DT 880. I no longer have either the W3 housing broke and I never got around to repairing it. That was my first real step into “Hifi.” The DT880, I never really liked. Primarily, I thought they were uncomfortable.
I currently own the Nuforce EDC, Sennheiser HD 6XX and the HiFiman HE 400i. When I compare the EDC to either the 6XX or the 400i the base sounds so weak. As a general rule I seem to slightly prefer the 6XX to the 400i. But they sound very similar to me with one night of listening through my iPhone X. I’m really looking for that wow moment. My first wow moment was listening the the westone W3 and hearing parts of songs that I had never heard before. The next moment for me was listening to a Denon ah d5000 through I think it was a cypher labs DAC. I listened to The Who magic bus at a head-if meet up. I remember thinking to myself...wow how do I get this for myself. At the time I was only in collage, so I couldn’t afford the ah d5000 or theDAC. At that same meet I listened to some UE reference. They were really nice too. The rep was there and has some without custom tips.. How do I get back to that wow moment?
Also, where should I post about AVR receivers?
Nice to meet everyone and I look forward to participating more on this forum!
