Equaliser Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Are you liking them off the X-can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batty Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yes, initially I tried them through the NAD 3020, but the bass was too sloppy and overrode everything else. When I moved to the X-Can everything fell into place, the whole spectrum was more even and bass was tighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffinator Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 When I'm home, I never use headphones. When I'm traveling and working at work, I use this; Just an iPhone 5 with Spigen hybrid bumper and GlasTr screen protector and Dita The Answer dynamic driver IEMs (w Furutech plug mod to fit through a range of phone bumpers). Music is simply sync'd from my iTunes collection (a mix of iTunes Store and cd ripped files stored as Apple lossless). The quality is surprisingly good, aided to a large degree by the stunning Dita phones. Tip for iPhone users; turn off all your background apps when listening, ESPECIALLY facebook . Makes a big difference to the sound you get (putting your phone in airplane mode also helps). I ran some B&W P7s from the phone but sold them as the Ditas are as good or better in many respects. Seriously. John Darko is a raving fan of the Ditas. I think they'll be next on my wish list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of selling my Musical Fidelity M1 Headphone Amplifier + Sennheiser Momentum / AKG K702's along with my living room setup, and figured this might be a good place to ask people who've more usually stepped UP! I'm pretty much done! I've had, and listened to a lot of pricey gear, as well as cheap stuff. My Fiio X3II($259) with B&O H6($499) is absolutely doable, I'm finished now until I live somewhere permanently.. Then I'll get that Michell Gyrodec/Manley/PMC system I've been lusting after!! I think the headphone game has been one huge merry-go-round, and I've got off it permanently. Probably because a lot of the gear ain't that pricey, it's cheaper to swap/sell/buy. I got my combo because it allows max flexibility, the X3II plays most of the file types. Caution - stay off HeadFi, you'll drive yourself nuts chasing the dragon and listening to 101 people have 101 opinions on everything! I've been trying a way to close my account there. Sponsors love their site because the discussion stimulates purchases of their equipment;) Anyhow, enough crap from me.. before I'm told I'm dragging the discussion off topic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equaliser Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Definitely avoid headfi if you want more truth then assumptions. Apart from a small group of folks there take all else with a grain of truth. Anyway I went from the rare Sr Omega 1`s and a NIB 009 and bunch of other totl dynamic headphones to my bunch of crap posted in the past few pages. I don`t regret it one bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
