Coming from Audio Technical AD1000X, below is my opinion.

TL'DR, T1.2 has louder sound presentation, ear piercing. T1.1 is smoother , flatter signature.

Long version:
If you compare both cans side by side with same amp/song, you will immediately notice T1.2 has louder sound. However, seems like it is trying to bring up all the available sounds, you will have hard time hearing the instrument separation. The vocal is much more heavier/darker/stronger albeit a little bit synthetically, ear-piercing to me. Feel fatigue after ~1 hour of music, too much sounds pushing toward me.

For T1.1, overall is flatter but very natural sounds. Since there is no over emphasis on any particular sounds, you should be no problem hearing instrumental separation. Can hear for long period of time, vocal is a bit too soft, as compared to my AD1000X which the vocal is basically sugar-coated. Since i prefer a more relaxing can, i went for T1.1  laugh.gif  If i want a more engaging can, can always go back to my AD1000x.

Thanks for that, ear piercing sound is my image towards Beyer cans, especially DT880pro, but T1 + Hugo TT give me good impression. And now with 2nd gen which c/w detachable cable. Make me so tempted to buy except the price (RM5xxx)

What is your setup to drive T1?

Currently using Xonar Essence STX mod LM49720HA opamp, not the perfect match for T1 but for the price/performance ratio has no complain.  nod.gif

Jaben selling T1.2 at Rm5299-20% = RM4284  icon_rolleyes.gif
I tried many FLAC/WAV/APE songs, the biggest bottleneck now is not really DAC/AMP but the song recording quality itself. If they recompose old song quality with newer format, mostly are still quite bad... laugh.gif  Newer song with new instruments are mostly shine with my setup

RM4.2k not bad, but I expect to be RM3.5k something like that, thanks our weak MYR

definitely will need amp to drive 600 ohm of T1 if I purchase it.

Most of my songs downloaded from internet, HDTracks/Mora.jp/HifiTrack/eOnkyo/Linn/Qobus/2L brows.gif

About the recording itself, take an example of Adele 25 album, just stick with the CD version, dont opt for LP ripped to 24/96 FLAC, you will hear a lot of noise (mostly due to turntable I suspect).

T1 does require good power amp, however the matching signature is much easier comparing with a lot of headphones, may i know what amplifier are you using right now?

Nope, currently I dont use any amplifier

Bcs I havent decided for my flagship headphone yet

should try the AKT1p.  at only 32ohms, it actually sounds better than the T1.2  nod.gif

To me, it is the other way round, T1 2nd gen is better than AKT1p cool.gif

Do you re-terminate the stock cable to 4.4mm jack? Since you use WM1A/1Z
