    = HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =

    Hi   I have both the T-1 and the He560. They are 2 completely different sound signatures. The T-1 are very accurate with the music coming through very clean. When I use them I find myself listening for a particular instrument rather than enjoying the music. That's OK at times. Over a period of...

    = HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =

    Today I received the HiFiman HE-560 headphones. I've been listening for the past hr or so and they sound great. I'm using the WOO Fireflies along with the Wa7 tube power supply. I'm a Grado fan and these sound really good. Clear and full sound with just enough bass as well as a clear defined...

    HiFiman 400 vs 500 ?????

    Help!  I have several brands of cans, HE-400, Audeze LCD2, Grado 325i, Beyerdynamic DT990 and HD 600. On any given day they all sound nice. I'm using a Little Dot MKIII with 6 sets of tubes. I still want to upgrade the cans. Is the HE-500 worth the extra $$$ over the 400?  I could live with out...

    Little Dot MKIII hums

    I've been busy. It was a tube for sure as I purchased some tubes (ebay) and one pair Hytron JHY-6AK5 are working great.   Gary

    Little Dot MKIII hums

    I think I narrowed it down to a audio tube. I discovered the hum was coming from one side (earphone). I then reversed the tube and the hum moved to the other ear. I reversed it again and it moved back to the other side. Looks like a bad tube.

    Can I improve my sound on my PC???

    Guys   Nothing wrong with what I'm listening too as it is. I just thought that now that I'm a Hi-Fidelity guy  , I want to listen to my music in the highest quality I can afford.  If there is a way to improve the music I burned to my computer I'd like to give it try; see if the results are...

    Do I need a DAC

    Billy....   It was you peeking in my window, YES, there was some tequila involved; Patron Silver to be exact. On Sunday just prior to the SuperBowl I switched to Makers Mark and the Phones sounded the same. I'm golden now; later this week I'll try some Belvedere Vodka. If it works I've got all...

    Do I need a DAC

    Guys   This is what I discovered. Over the weekend I was experiencing some issues with my wireless mouse on my HP tower. When I moved the cable slightly away from the JDS ODAC the mouse worked better.  This was a pain as I use the phones when I'm on the net. I then got out the wired mouse and...

    Do I need a DAC

    I have not gone back to the set up with out the DAC, but when I get the time I will. I thought too I was looking for something that wasn't there so last night I tried the DT's again. At first they sounded fine then I went to Foobar  and played some stuff and discovered that I have a vibration or...

    Do I need a DAC

    All are good suggestions. However, all the other headphones work well with my set-up. It's got to be the DT-990's. They just don't match up with this set-up.  Thanks for the help. BTW I ordered a pair of HiFi HE-400's this morning.   G

    Do I need a DAC

    Set-up  -  ODac from my HP tower via USB cable, Odac to the O2 amp via cable. Phones connected to the amp. Using spotify free, a couple of years. Tower speakers sound great, via big amp and phones sounded nice before the ODAC. The DT990 phones are the only ones that changed when the Dac was...

    Do I need a DAC

    I just installed the JDS Odac. All is OK except it made my DT990 Pro sound muddy or slightly unclear. Prior to the ODac the DT990 pro was what I used most. Is this possible?

    Do I need a DAC

    Thanks for the input.  Headphones, Beyer.....DT990 Pro, Audio T..... ATH-M50 and Grado SR60.  I like them all for different reasons. The Grado's are uncomfortable, on ear. The DT 990 very comfortable and the sound quality is nice, lite on the bass but that's OK most of the time. The Ath-m50's...
