Reposted from another thread:

I'll type some brief impressions before Eiraku updates.

-Beyer dynamics most comfortable cans ever. Referring to the DT880/DT990. I love both of them much better than the ATs. They sound pretty balanced, not as bright as I had expected. Decent tonal texture and weight. Would love to have these for casual use. HD650's death clamp is like shitttt.

-AT lots of WoW factor. W1000K has a very rich tone. Feels like fine dining. Some midrange colorization though. AD2000 on the other hand is super easy to drive on the technical level, but subjectively too airy and light tonally for my tastes.

-I still prefer the sound of the HD650 over the big cans that were there that day but I could be only half right due to the less than ideal environment in CoffeeBean.

-IMO, most of you listen too loud tongue.gif

-I like Compass default setup. "Boring" and airy sounding, a bit bright but this is the "signature" you get from typical folded cascode amplifiers.

-Don't have much time with the many IEMs and Earbuds. Too many a variety!!!!

That my friend is a MPA2.5, not sure if LittleGhost already modded it but most likely adjusted some stuff, care to elaborate LG?

Correct, but ATM tarak adjustments.

Plan to mod the output stage and tune down the bias for obvious safety reasons tongue.gif The stock circuit feels like a horse on steroids and rage pills.




sad.gif Did not try any IEMs because I forgot to bring my own tips.

those are only less than half of what we had originally expected.


The next time if we manage to find a decent private space, things will be VERY different.

Sorry to sound like a noob, but how do use a speaker amp to drive a headphone? Arent the connectors different?
*
they usually cant because of the different GAIN and output levels.

The connectors can be solved but you have to solve the design first.
