Finally my SHP895 finished burnt in. Sounds dam great , but the high is still harsh , think i need more burn in then. ACcording to Davis , it only needs 40 hours , i dont think its enough right?

hehe I am even more skeptical to think there's any differences after 10 hours continuous running. Most of the time, our mind will convince us that there's improvements although that's just our ears getting used to the music played by the headphones, nothing more tongue.gif
is tat what we call " mental burn in ? " tongue.gif

I used pink noise for my burn in , -6dB will do.

Nope, must be analogue output unless you have a special headphone which has an onboard DAC.

Pink noise is different from white noise, check out wiki for a better explanation.

oOo.. Thats y my headphone sucks when i plugged straight into my soundcard.

Well , i need an amp to do it right no? means

Soundcard --> Amp --> SHP895?

Not that your headphone sucks , it's just that if driven by soundcard only, the output would only be around 70% of what you could've heard from your headphone. A suitable amp will bump it up to 90~100% of what your headphone is capable of.

BTW, thedoctor's class AB headamp rocks smile.gif

Thx Renovatio for the info !

But somehow i find it the high is too harsh when i'm using it with my ipod , without headamp of course. Can a headamp tame the high? or isit the equaliser of my ipod ?
