Just popping in to compliment your video style. You are just incredibly on top of your game when it comes to how clean and presentation focused the style of your videos are (it reminds me of Optimum who I feel has a similar very clean style). Really just commenting for the algorithm as well, since it seems I dont get your videos recommended nearly enough. Best wishes for the new year!

I have a couple of headphones, the HD660s, the HD600, and AKG702. For my digital piano, the AKG702 is amazing. I love how open they sound; it feels like I’m not even wearing headphones and that I’m listening through speakers. However, my digital piano and even my audio interface (minifuse 4) struggle to power the AKG702s. I was thinking of getting an amp, but I’m wondering if I should just upgrade headphones? What’s your recommendation?

@livingmybestlie1970 9 месяцев назад

Awesome videos. But I have 2 questions that weren’t answered in your video explaining the input/outputs of DAC’s. #1 Does the music sound better, utilizing an XLR connection from the DAC to the amp or receiver? #2 DAC is just for 2 channel stereo signals only, right? I can’t connect my iPhone to a DAC out to a receiver and hear her spatial audio through my HT speaker setup, right? Thanks.

Ive been saving up (every time I almost get there something happens) for two years wanting the Sennheiser HD800 or Sennheiser Drop HD 8XX. I see on eBay there are used items; hopefully I will win the bid. What would be a good amp for around $250 used? That could handle the headphones, and is there anything else I would need other than the headphones and the amp? (I hope not.)

@robertkirkpatrick1826 8 месяцев назад

The price difference is astronomical. But so are the specs. I can absolutely say the R7 is worth it. But at $1650 with the psu... i can think of a LOT of better ways to spend the money imo. Like an R7 or DMP6 out to a good dac amp combo.

@jeffreylowy3180 8 месяцев назад

I enjoy your reviews thank you! What is your response to all of the internet chatter about HIFIMAN quality issues? I’m a relative newbie and was very close to buying my first pair of hifiman arya cans but got cold feet when hearing about driver issues, etc. and opted for sennheiser HD660S2 which I love. I’m interested in trying close backs and even something higher end just to hear the difference. Thoughts?

@harisjaved1379 9 месяцев назад

Don’t take this personally, but I think most of audio reviews just push products. You can get a very solid 500$ audio setup for desktop use. Schit amp/dac plus hd600 or 650 and you are golden. I think they would push less product buying if they bought the products themselves vs being sent by the manufacturer.

Hey Josh, Happy Holidays. I got my notification for shipment from Periapt, so even though I won't have everything before Christmas, it's good to know that they are on their way. I have the Hart interchangeable cable and termination sets, so I am real curious to see how the Periapt differs. I have really enjoyed the functionality of the Hart system, and I think they are quality, just hoping that the Periapt have less microphonics so the sound quality is even higher. I don't get microphonics with all of the Hart cables, but do on certain headsets, especially my DROP Sennheiser HD-6XX. Looking forward to all your content coming in the New Year!!

I do not understand the love for Periapt cables these reviewers have. Yeah, they're a good price, but I ordered 2 a while back; one for an Arya Stealth and one for an HD800s and they each sounded like I had shoved my headphones into a tin can (especially on the 800). I would take any stock cable over those. To each their own...

He get's paid to say things are great. Just like all the audio channels they work on comission.

@treishtrei 7 месяцев назад

Agreed. I'm not understanding how a hifi channel having great amps and headphones uses cables that degrade the sound. There is no $10 cable on the planet that will not eat signal, no matter how short. Try Mogami at least. Actually buy Mogami, not try. Then there are others more expensive and dimishingly better, but the ROI sweetspot is Canare or Mogami

While I respect your point of view, if you notice it shows he is conscious when he does advertise something, he tries every effort not to overdo it. He always tries to maintain a class throughout his videos. Yes, it’s a repeat mention for who follows all his videos, but he needs to keep the first time viewers in mind as well. The value we get out of these premium quality free content, these mentions are fair trade off in my opinion. 😊
