I have never heard of the Capital Audiofest before. Could anyone give me a rough idea of what type of gear, and environment I could expect if I attended? Thanks

I posted a few questions in another thread (some of which have been answered) but as this is the Q&A thread I'll repost my answered questions here. 1. I know it's designed with full sized headphones in mind, but how does it preform with IEM's (Sennheiser IE 800's in particular)? I wouldn't use...

Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll give the EQ another shot with your tips, and see if I have better results. I have about a week before I have to return the Fostex TH-610's, if I can't make them sound how I want in the next few days they will have to be returned, and I'll try a different pair...

Thanks for the reply, I downloaded the EQ you recommened. Could you tell me what you have everything set to? I don't have any experience with EQ, and so far all I've manged to do is make the music sound worse.

What EQ software do you guys recommend? I recently bought a pair of Fostex TH-610's to try out, and I definitely feel the bass needs to be boosted. Looking for software mainly for windows, but any suggestions for iOS would be appreciated too.

I was able to try the E-MU Teaks, and Fostex TH-900's at the DC area Head-Fi meet yesterday. I loved the Teaks, and definitely preferred them over the TH-900's. I didn't get to hear the 630VB's but I think I like the Teaks enough to just buy them without trying the 630VB's.

Yeah the weight is my many complaint about my Audeze LCD-3's, after an hour or two I really start to feel the weight, and it gets uncomfortable to me. My HD700's on the other hand I'm able to wear all day. I have heard a lot of criticism towards the HD700's but decided to buy them anyway when I...

Thanks to everyone who set up the meet. It was my first one, and I really enjoyed it. Got to cross off a ton of headphones from my list of ones I wanted to get to try. I also think I found the next pair of headphones I want to buy, E-MU Teaks. I have been looking for headphones for bass heavy...

Haven't decided if I'm going to keep my IE 800's yet or return them, and wait for the hopefully soon to be released IE 800S's. If I do end up keeping them though I am wondering if anyone knows if the RCS 800 cable works with an iPhone 7 Plus. On their website it says it's made for windows and...

My bad, I guess I wrongly assumed all of them in the family would have the treble issue. The reason I was most interested in the TH-900's and TH-610's is Massdrop doesn't take returns, and I don't want to be stuck with the headphones if I don't like them, or have to sell them at a loss. I guess...

If anyone has tried the Sennheiser HD630VB's how are they with the bass dail turned up? I really enjoy my IE80's which also have a bass dail. So the HD630VB's are very interesting to me. I was advised on this thread Fostex headphones with my amp (Schiit Jotunheim) would probably result in...

Awesome, thank you

I'm definitely willing to give one a try. The iPhone does still have a physical connector, you just have to use a lighting to 3.5mm headphone jack dongle (comes with the phone). My main concern is I don't have a large collection (or any collection really) of FLAC or other lossless audio files...

Will any of the fine headphones you mentioned be Sennheiser HD800S's? Im very interested in upgrading to them from my HD700's. If I like them they will most likely be the next headphones I buy. I am also wondering if there will be Audeze LCD-4's, I have LCD-3's, and although the LCD-4's are out...

I've always just used my phone for portable music, currently an iPhone 7 plus. How do their DAP's compare to a phone? Would you get a noticeable enough difference in audio quality, that makes it worth carrying around 2 devices?

Hadn't heard of them before, but I checked out their website and it seems like the make some pretty nice stuff. I'm excited to have more new things to try out. I'm new to high end audio equipment, and I haven't got to try a ton of stuff out yet, so that's great news another company will be...

Good question, I didn't think of that. My current setup doesn't, and it quickly gets annoying to have to go and turn my speakers off when I want to use headphones, and vise versa. Would really like that feature in the next amp/ DAC I buy.

I should be able to attend if nothing comes up. I could bring: Audeze LCD-3's, Sennheiser HD700's, Sennheiser IE80's, and IE800's. I have a Schiit Bifrost, and Jotunhiem but it seems like other people will already be bringing them, so I'm not sure if I should as well.

I'm very interested in a HDV820, I absolutely love the look of it. I currently have Audeze LCD-3's, Sennheiser HD 598's, HD700's, Game One's, IE80's, IE800s, Massdrop HD6xx's coming in December, and have been eyeing HD800S's. Seeing as I have almost exclusively Sennheiser gear I would love to...

HiFiMan HE400i's Not sure if something was wrong with mine or what, as I had heard good things about them. Mine seemed to be (I'm still learning all the terms to describe sound) really bright/harsh, and sibilant. They also had probably the weakest bass I've ever heard, with pretty much 0 impact...

So I'm looking for a new pair of headphones to add to my collection as my current ones don't cut it bass wise for when I want to listen to besides EDM (mostly hardstyle). I'm interested in both the Fostex TH900's, and the Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with...

I ordered a pair, excited to try them out. Still such a long wait though. :disappointed: Will be my 3rd pair of Sennheiser headphones (or 4th if you count my Game Ones, the others being HD598's, and HD700's). Sense they won't be coming until around Christmas, I guess if I don't like them I can...

Is there any chance they would actually confirm the existence of them though? As far as I can tell the only information out there about them is the website that was linked in this thread. I would assume then if they are real they would be at least a few months from a release. I'll wait out the...

My IE800's just arrived yesterday, if that is real it makes me want to send them right back. Amazon gives you 30 days to return stuff so hopefully some more information comes out by then.
