Oh gawd. The HD668B is just... so darned good  blink.gif I didn't do any burn ins, just take it out from the box, plugged the 3m cable into the PC, and voila. At first, it sounded bright and lacked bass, so I did some EQing on foobar and it hit the right spot. And it just fits in nicely with some stretches and adjustments on the pads, though right now it is still a bit tight, but acceptable. Just my first impression by the way.

-Deep, tight bass when EQed.
-Nice instrumental separation, clarity and soundstage.
-Need to tame the highs though.
-Clamping is a bit tight, and my ears sweat a bit on the pads.

I just made the right choice getting HD668B instead of HD330 wink.gif

Current setting:
Onboard Realtek -> foobar -> HD668B.

Mine the clamping force is greatly reduced. brows.gif

Sounds better after a week. So detailed.

Not all producer use same products/headphone when they mixing the music. So you will get a different results and some might not suitable for your current headphone. Equalizer can be use to suite you for some music.

Yeah, get a DAC, an amp, and 200 hrs of burn in... It'll be even more awesome. =D
The bass and highs need time to settle down.

Hmm T-Muso... I'll get one soon tongue.gif But, I was considering about getting the recabling first. Techflex sleeving drool.gif And about amp, which one I should go? Should E6 be enough?

Funny thing i really dont like tweaking with eq because im more of a person who prefer doing it in the analogue stage. (cable, dac, amp)
It's a good choice going to the superlux. I love them too. Besides my jh16pro, i find this has the most universal sound.

I don't have any analogue DACs thus I did it digitally. Then again, I have bass distortions with certain songs...

+1.

From exp, changing DAC then an amp gives more difference than changing the cable.

Do you mean in ear phone? IEM?

For iem, superlux HD 381 series may suit you.

I really hope Superlux improve their HD381's durability. Might as well buy another one if they revamp it.

Of course I'm not in anyway against digital alteration/EQ. Just that I prefer to change it through analogue side because there is more changes than just a simple eq in the sound.

May I ask the bass distortion you are referring is the distortion used in making a distorted bass sound or it is your headphone producing distortion because of certain problem. If it is the the headphone you are referring to, adding a dac might be able to help out in cleaning out the distortion from onboard sound but adding an amp will help refine it even further.

For me the best way is to start with headphone then amp then last dac and the cycle continues again. This is because I follow the biggest changes in the setup in which headphone give the biggest change then amp and lastly dac which gives the smallest changes among them. Of course cable is just something that is extra to help you fine tune your system or getting the best potential out of your system and is not supposed to be used to upgrade your sound.

The new designs does looks better. But I still prefer to use the rugged plastic on their HD668B and HD660 model. They do look ugly but at least they can last a life time. (If you don't abuse it) Hopefully they will share the same plastic but repainted to give it a smoother looks.
