    Same song, 2 FLAC's, both 'remastered' edtions - very different SPEK??

    Thanks, yeah I decided to go with the left one which was louder before replaygain but I think sounded better. the album was terrible thats why i was looking at these remasters to see if there was actually a good one out there, im stil not sure they are much better.

    Same song, 2 FLAC's, both 'remastered' edtions - very different SPEK??

    Greetings audiophiles. I have been checking a bunch of my FLAC's with SPEK and found something very odd with 2 Oasis albums FLAC's I have. One is supposedly from a 2011 remaster (on the right), another is from a 2014 deluxe special edition remaster (on the left). Both are clearly legitimate...

    advice - second hand high end IEM's (JH Audio Angie/Layla) or new lower end (JH11/13/16)

    Yeah I have booked a demo of the JH11, JH13v2 and JH16v2 on Sat 20th so I will see what super high end IEM's sound like, and I had better be VERY impressed or they aren't getting a penny :P

    advice - second hand high end IEM's (JH Audio Angie/Layla) or new lower end (JH11/13/16)

    I will have to go and demo them, I would expect them to easily smash the SE530 even without a perfect fit if I was going to go for it. I will ask them what happens if they come back and are not a perfect fit, and whether they will then charge for having to send them back to the US (assuming...

    advice - second hand high end IEM's (JH Audio Angie/Layla) or new lower end (JH11/13/16)

    Ok thanks. I have never been hugely impressed with the SE530, but again I am no audiophile and have not had any decent phones other than my current SE530 and HD600. I love the HD600 and I was hugely impressed when I got them, but then they were the first decent heaphones I got of any kind so I...

    advice - second hand high end IEM's (JH Audio Angie/Layla) or new lower end (JH11/13/16)

    I am considering getting some new high end custom moulded IEM's since my current SE530 cable is now splitting and even with a custom sleeve I am not sure the fit was that good (the sound was better with foam tips but they never stayed in properly), although they at least fitted better than any...

    Samsung S8 / S8+ Sound Quality

    I heard the S7 was bad so perhaps it is better than that, but I have to compare it to my S5 and I don't think it is as good, although I might just be going mad. Has anyone else compared an exynos S8 to the european S5 G900f? URGH, now the cable on my SE530's has split near the ear piece (well...

    Samsung S8 / S8+ Sound Quality

    I have the exynos S8+ and I am hugely disappointed with the sound. I am coming from my UK S5 which sounded great using my shure SE530 buds, but this S8 just sounds as flat as a pankcake. I can't describe it any other way, the bass is flat, vocals kinda seem like they are off in the distance...

    Trying to find portable equivalent of HD600

    Had a quick look at the W4, it seems the new version is W40 but they are supposedly just cosmetic changes.  They seem to be around £259 according to one place I found which puts them about the same price as the SE535, which are basically the same as the SE530 I have.  So I am wondering how much...

    Trying to find portable equivalent of HD600

    I have an old paid of HD600's which I've loved from the first minute I heard them and am still blown away every time I put them on.  However they aren't very practical to take with me on the train to work , would let the entire train hear what I am listening to, and can't be driven from my...

    windows 7 system sounds refusing to go through ODAC?!?!

    Ok I think I solved it.  Stupid me for thinking something as simple as disabling a sound device would not require a reboot to work properly.  I went through and disabled every single sound device other than the ODAC, THEN rebooted.  It is now playing those sounds through it ok!!  I did the same...

    windows 7 system sounds refusing to go through ODAC?!?!

    I just got an 02 amp and ODAC and they both seem to be working fine.  However I have just realised that I have sounds missing in windows 7.  When I go to sounds and click 'test' on any of the sounds, looking at the volume control in the system tray I can see that sound is being played but not...
