Hehe..i thought i am the only one hearing the 'difference'.. sweat.gif ..the hp1000 has been with me for two weeks now...still lack of bass, narrower soundstage, high is harsh compare to the 'other one'..in fact the sr60 sounds better than hp1000 IMHO..

need more time to burn-in mebbe? wink.gif ...i really doubt that...

i'm waiting for the proper amp to do a listening test again.. sweat.gif

just my rm 0.02

PcWork, u dun believe me...it's true u know!!! tongue.gif

yup..agree that different people shud have different preferences...

but system matching also can play an important part on the output characteristic of the sound..

wish we've had a mini meet/gathering somewhere..so that we can share/test all our equipment..and to minimize our budget to our preferred one..or else we will ending up owning more headphones than our head can handle!! laugh.gif

Cheers thumbup.gif

That's what audiophile wants, flatness and neutral ~~~ replay the original with no spices added smile.gif

flatness in equipment ie frequency response...yes..but flatness in music/sound?...i don't think any audiophile wants that rclxub.gif

still prefer my amp having the tone control to cure some bad recordings.. wink.gif

hehe it's stronger as in the cracking part of the equation lah tongue.gif To me HD595 is a bit fragile lah, even HP895 got tougher clamps well of course that's why it's deadlier on the head.

ohhh..i c..but if we talk about 'fragileness' here, the expensive one will be the most fragile here..haha.. tongue.gif sayanggg wooo...

wanna ask oso
ppl seems to be focused on the amp, the soundcard, n all

but how about the player itself?
like me, im using lappy dvdrom drive to play cd-audio

is there any difference if i use other brand, more "spec" dvdrom to play cd?
since its the real primary source anyway
*
well..when we talk about source..we usually refer to the DAC on the sound card itself..not the drive or 'transport' as someone would phrase..hehe..and i never heard someone review the audio quality of the dvd/cd drive in the market..so, i assume that all drive should be the same...

what test song actually you use..if its pop/mainstream..then it will be hard to differentiate between those codec..becoz it is originally compressed oredi..try search for less than 800kbps FLAC song and see if u can hear any difference..(if u know what i mean)
