Discover a new world of sound: Make way for the IE 200
I've only tried the fully flushed position (so #2 according to post on page 1). Also worth mentioning I mainly listen to prog metal, contemporary R&B, and indie electronic (think James Blake).- TheFrator

Discover a new world of sound: Make way for the IE 200
Received my set yesterday and I've put about 6 hours on them. Final type E eartips are the most comfortable for me. I primarily plan to use these on the go and not so much for "critical" listening. Anyway, I quite like them. Extremely comfortable and better sounding than the Truthear Hexa I...- TheFrator

Truthear Impressions/Discussion
Thanks for the explanation as to why. This was my first entry into IEMs since I'm mostly an over-ear guy. I haven't but I might just try that one and see what I think about it. Sennhesier is also releasing the IE200 soon for $150 and I might just splurge on that. I think the shape of their IEMs...- TheFrator

Later on in that Crinacle article he describes plastic timbre as - "Characterized by a hollow sound, sometimes also describe[ed] as a certain sense of weightlessness in the notes.

Truthear Impressions/Discussion
When I say 'decay' - I am utilizing Crinacle's definition of what it is - https://crinacle.com/2021/06/04/the-tonal-technical-dichotomy-the-ief-evaluation-system/ . Can't link to the precise spot in the webpage but it's about 1/3 down from the top. The abnormal decay is evident especially when...- TheFrator

Truthear Impressions/Discussion
I've had a Hexa for a few weeks. Tonally it is great but there's something off about the decay of drums. It is too fast and makes drums sound unnatural. Which is a shame because 90% of my liberary uses drums (prog, prog metal, and jazz). Otherwise this is a phenomenal set for $80.- TheFrator

Audeze LCD-5 Review, Measurements, Interview
For those with more experience with other TOTL cans, do they exhibit a similar tactility to music that the LCD-5 does? I tried the Meze Elites and they didn't do it - or if they did it was imperceptible compared to what the LCD-5 does. E.g. The acoustic guitar in the intro to A Thousand Shards...- TheFrator

Audeze LCD-5 Review, Measurements, Interview
Yeah I've been one of those people that used the word "need." When in reality, I EQ all my headphones. I'm going to add that to my signature so people know haha. I am excited to see what Audeze does for the LCD-6 and what tuning approach they go with. Hopefully they keep the weight down like...- TheFrator

Schiit Audio Bifrost 2
thanks for letting me know. I purchased it used for $20 off the classifieds here as a bit of insurance. I'm running another USB-A to B cable at the moment since I've been too lazy to change the cable back to AQ after switching cables during troubleshooting. Given how stiff the AQ is, I would...- TheFrator

Schiit Audio Bifrost 2
@Ripper2860 - using the LatencyMon tool you linked to, my highest measured latency was 1100 microseconds over a 15 minute (which resulted in audible pops). I updated the BIOS on my computer (MSI X570 Gaming Edge Wifi MOBO) to the latest driver and have had LatencyMon running for the past 10 mins...- TheFrator

Schiit Audio Bifrost 2
Anyone have issues with noise when connecting to the 2/64 via USB? The past few days I start to get intermittent audio crackles and pops that are about 12-15 dB less than the music playing. It sounds very similar to surface noise you might get from a record. It sometimes resolves itself when I...- TheFrator

Audeze LCD-5 Review, Measurements, Interview
I went a couple weeks without listening to the LCD-5 because I was in a vinyl and stereo phase - variety is the spice of life after all. I somehow forgot how exceptional the bass is on this pair of headphones.- TheFrator
