Hey guys, looking for a mid tier DAP. fIIo M11 is getting a lot of good reviews. Any thoughts on on this DAP for rock and metal?
r DX150 (AMP7).
Thanks George. I'm out of the Headfi loop these days and I just wanted to know from a rock/metal perspective if the hype was legit. Apprec!
Very cool. That's what I wanted to know. I listen to all genres and types of music these days, but every once in a while, there'll be a hot product that doesn't translate well into "heavy music' which is still my most played kind of music. Just what I wanted to confirm. Thanks man.
Hi,
I hear music practically all day, mostly heavy metal (meshuggah, gojira, periphery, etc ) and in second place classical music (a lot of piano and opera). I am searching for an upgrade to my Hd650+apogee groove combo, I find the 650s to be too veiled and smooth with some recordings (referring to the velocity of response I would like something snappier) and I would want a more open soundstage (not exaggerated) with better freq response over the 6khz.
I have been searching quite a while and I am curious about the LCD-X, LCD2classical, Hifiman Arya, Focal clears and finally Hd800s, since the 800s are on discount (about 1100usd) where I live. I also have the apogee one for recording and it would be great if the other headphone could be drive fine with either of one apogees (I think the groove is better for high impedance and one for low, as Kenrockwell reviewed them).
Maybe there isn't a headphone for both metal and classical music, since I think maybe opera would sound great on the 800s and metal in the Arya, in that case I would like to search for a complementary headphone for the Hd650.
Thanks and regards!!!
Auteur and he6 I think that are as good on classical as they are on heavy metal...
Senny 800 are awful on metal... Also 650 aren't so good on metal...
Yes he6 requires a specific amp that mat be also relatively cheap using a small speaker amp... Like a used musical fidelity A1... Several people enjoyed itAuteur sounds good with everything. HE6 needs a system built around it. Not really a headphone I'd recommend to someone who has 2 total posts.
Never owned the HD800,but the 650 isnt bad for slower,more traditional metal. I would think that its narrow staging might not lend itself to classical though.
The list is quite old...I’m just curious if there are any more headphones that have entered the group of the top headphones of the graph yet. Last time I checked the best headphones are th900, kennerton Odin, he6, and abyss has anymore headphones reached that status or are these still above the rest?
Would also need a custom speaker tap cable made as well. Thats a lot of stuff for a headphone that has dodgy quality control and strident treble. I had two drivers fail on me within nine months on a brand new pair.Yes he6 requires a specific amp that mat be also relatively cheap using a small speaker amp... Like a used musical fidelity A1...
