I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX cable to replace the original, as shown in the photo. So, I didn't even try the cable it came with because it is not a 4.4mm Pentaconn/Sony balanced cable.
I also, made sure that I installed the Earlock interfaces and rolled the large silicone tips first, but found that the included large foam tips are the best. I read a review that offered some EQing suggestions, but I will say that the foam tips are helpful in tamping down some of the high-end if you are sensitive to it. I don't think any EQing would be necessary, just choosing the right tips.
The sub-bass is where it's at in my opinion, making the overall tonality not quite neutral and not quite warm. The S-6s totality is right in the pocket for me. The treble is extended well enough to get a pretty clear audio image, but not quite too far in the far upper reaches, but very good!!!! See, I am more of a high and low sorta guy, not much for mids, but they are good, which makes the clear and precise imaging possible.
The soundstage is pretty wide and a bit tall, but not enough of both to make this a competitor for more expensive sets like the UM MEST MKii, of course.
But, this is all I will say about that. If you missed purchasing these, you really missed out.
Though it's tiny, it manages to power even high ohm headsets with amazing accuracy. It works great with the drop usb-c to usb-c and my Phillips shp-9600. Soon enough I'll be using the Akoustyx...
I have an external amplifier with no integrated DAC and I only have an xduo xa10 as a dac/amp can I use the xduo xa10 as a dac only with an external amplifier?
So I bought the HD6xx a few weeks back and when I finally got the packages i got some Noir 99. ever happened to any of u guys and how did it get resolved
