Hello everyone, just signed up today , nice to meet you all. I like this forum and it's philosophy very much (relying on measurements instead of subjective anectodes). You can pretty much find great reviews (subjective ones without numbers to back up, or influenced by sponsores..) on ANY hifi item , and in the end you're more confused than befor because you have about 20 different subjective Impressions on what to get.
Currently I'm usung a Hifiman Ananda, would have been a Sundara but i got great deal on the Ananda ...driven by qudelix5k, which i purchased because of the decent LDAC measurements for SINAD and output power (only using BT these days with a 50cm cable, started soldering myself ...because you know , 2,5mm balance are a PITA) to buy, so i'm making my own cables (boy it was hard to source 2,5mm plugs haha).
My 2nd one is a AKG k701 , this one i bought because it looks neat especially for girls it's a good way to get them into Headphones...looks great as a winter accessoire with some aftermarket white leather pads, hoping to get my gf into this hobby with these. plus i'm in the soldering mood to do this bass mod, which appearently does a great deal for bass quality and isn't too hard?)
Oh and i secretly put this pic as a wallpaper on her CELL :
Considerung getting a L30 amp for these and just using the qudelix as a bt dac to feed it. Will post some pics when all mods are done and it's reterminated to 2,5mm balance.
