    Did I miss something? You mentioned that the DAC in the node x was superior as blue sound claims. You then made several comparisons of sound quality but you didn't say whether you were using an external DAC or if you are using the internal DAC that comes with the Nodes. I have the n130 and use it with an external DAC. Therefore I'm curious to know how the streamers compare in sound quality as opposed to how the DACs compare. Thank you

    Here are my thoughts. 1. Soundcap on European Models. 2. Its there for a reason. 3. Everyone i know except a few often women". Most other listen to such high volume its really bad for the hearing. When i listen to a phone with iems with 3.5 i never go above 60%. On my Cayin N3 Ultra i never go above 40% with iems, set to medium gain, and with Sennheiser S660S2 never above 50, and 50 is Loud 🔊 4. They handle Sennheiser S660S2 good, i have to go up to 100/120, and sometimes all the way, 2 steps down to 118 because it levels down the last2 clicks. All my IEMs it can handle with ease. But if you are going to run planars or something ridiculous, that is supposed to be run on a amplifier in the living room you are out of luck. When the tinnitus comes at the age of 37 or 49 or 61 you wont be that happy, and the hearingloss is so severe you become afraid. Hearing loss creeps up on you, and when you have it, its nothing you can do. Take care of your hearing. Its sad though that you cant run everything on them, but its a portable device ment to be on the go, you shouldn't have your living room headphones with you outside, or ridiculously high performance ohm resistor hungry gear on the go. But if you can be fine with focal Celestee or Sennheiser Ie 600 or moondrop Variation this is way to perfect. I never go above 90/120 with my Variations. As an example. And if you really want to. The European model is set to 70% instead of 100%. Download Xbooster and set it to 100%, but you will have to redo it when the warning comes up at times. Also dont go above 100% you will get distortions Second method First update ypur device firmware and software Go to settings~ volume control , there youll find multimedia Value to increase the volume, to avoid the European volume cap.

      @@TheSourceAVDesignGroup My Fostex th-OO Ebony makes it embarrassing in the bass, but it's not a bad headphone, far from it, it's very comfortable and has a very pleasant sound and I love Sennheiser's sound signature however... I expected more from a closed headphone , but by applying EQ it gets more powerful and dynamic bass, but it's not worth $350, even my Shure 1540 has more dynamics than it, that's because it's a much older headphone and with a better sound stage too, if it cost 250 I'd be with him, but for 350 I'll pass.

    Hello, I just want to use one earphone and don't want to be tired of switching devices all the time depending on the type of music. I listen to 80% classical and 20% jazz and pop. I I think I like mm500 very much, and I think the instrument part is quite good, and the vocals are in the front, so the female voice sounds good. Do you recommend other headphones at this level? I think the Sound Stage of the mm500 is ok. For classical music, the instrument is not too modified and artificial, the low-frequency dive is enough for jazz. I'm still looking for a sound I like, maybe you can give me some advice or other information.

    Thanks for the excellent review. I'm considering the Meze 109 Pro paired with the Woo Audio WA7 Gen 3 for my desk setup. I have the Sennheiser HD600S, but even after two years of stretching and adjustments I still don't find them comfortable. I like the overall sound of the HD660S (after correcting the 5-6K Hz peak and slightly lifting the bass with parametric EQ), but would prefer a vocal presentation that isn't quite so forward. I hope the Meze 109 Pro is as comfortable as everyone says it is. I can't stand anything more than very gentle pressure on the sides of my head.

    I've tested both the Px7s2e and the Px8 and while they are both excellent headphones, they are in fact significantly different. The Px7s2e is more neutral, the px8 is a little more boomy in the low end. I ended up buying the px8. Ive also tested the B&O headphones (both hx and p95) and the sennheiser monentums, both of which i found quite dull sounding. Beautifully neutral, but not exiciting enough for my ears. All in all: i fully recommend to just go listen in a store, because audio is really most of all a matter of preference. Note: I didnt have a chance to test the focal bathys, so im not sure how they are sounding in comparison.

    i really preferred the sound of the 40 over the 30 BUT my polk 4 ohm speakers would have to go on a fast . 4 ohm polks are very hungry speakers . they don't come alive with weaker amps so i took the plunge . i'm not disappointed but there is a lack of depth and fullness in the 30 which is not resolved at higher volumes . fortunately every thing else in the sound and looks is enough to make me keep the 30 for a long time . normally i don't care what an amp looks like but the brilliant silver front is a work of art and a joy to look at even when it's turned off. Maybe a sub at some point ?

    Have had the Z1R for the last 3 years. It is the best sounding headphone I have ever tried. I came from an HD650 and the Z1R blows that out of water. I have also tried the HD820, H&K, Focal etc. I just liked the Z1R sound MUCH more. The only way I can explain the sound is "fun" and "smooth and clear" its just all around fantastic and fun sounding. I can fall asleep with them on listening to HD storm sounds. For me the Z1R is my end game headphone, it just sounds that perfect to me. Then again I tend to love the Sony sound signature as I feel like it emphasizes most movies, music etc. Everything is very separated and just so damn clear.

    hello,I just want to use one earphone and don't want to be tired of switching devices all the time depending on the type of music. I listen to 80% classical and 20% jazz and pop. I have also seen the audeze mm500 so far, and I think the instrument part is quite good, and the vocals are in the front, so the female voice sounds good. Do you recommend other headphones at this level? I think the sound field of the mm500 is okay. For classical music, the instrument tone is not too modified. , the low-frequency dive is enough for jazz. I don’t know if I understand this right?

    The Z1R doesn't give a f*ck about what audiophiles think of it. It's a love letter to "music lovers" and not audiophiles.

    I must love a lot of bass because the 99s are a favorite of mine for jazz, popular and classical. I use it with a Hiby FC4 on an MBP with Audirvana and Tidal.

    Still own my Meze 99 Classics Silver, and despite the very bassy, soulful, warm and glowy tonality, I'm still amazed at how clear they are with it's above mentioned tonality! Adore my T+A Solitaire T hybrid headphones, and enjoying my AKG N5005 IEM's, but my 99 Classics are my favourite evening headphones to relax to with a nice glass of whisky 🥃🎧

    I'm not a big closed back guy myself but have been just enough intriqued by these solely because I love my 109 Pro, their "entry level" open back. I've heard these are pretty boomy though.
