    Introducing the xDuoo MH-02 DAC & Tube Headphone Amplifier - Now Available on Apos Audio

    This looks great, and wish it came out a few months ago when I got the MT-602 and TA-22. I would've went for this over the MT-602. Any news on TA-66 shipments? I oredered one a month ago from Apos, but the date was pushed back twice and wonder if affects my order or just new orders.

    Introducing the xDuoo TA-66 OTL Tube Amplifier - Now Available on Apos Audio

    Any news on TA-66 shipments? I ordered one a month ago from Apos, but the date was pushed back twice and wonder if affects my order or just new orders. I wonder if there's a delay on Xduoo's end related to it, though it'd be weird considering they just announced and will be shipping a new...

    Audeze - MM-Series - MM-500

    That's a benefit with the MM-500. Since it's not carbon fiber, you can work the headband a bit to reduce the clamp. You definitely don't want to try that on an LCD-5 however due to it being carbon fiber, which is structurally rigid. Since MM-500 was made for professional use first, they do tend...

    Audeze - MM-Series - MM-500

    This was a personal opinion. I myself personally prefer the MM-500 over the LCD-5. All I meant was that people should not look at graphs alone to make any decision, especially in terms of sound. Graphs do not tell the whole story. I do not think they sound alike, and I do not believe most...

    Audeze - MM-Series - MM-500

    Allow me to make a personal statement, but if you buy things just off graphs, that is gonna get only so far. Most people who have heard both the MM-500 and LCD-5 will likely tell you they do not sound similar. The difference between them is more than minor. I'll leave it for users who have...

    Audeze - Our Maxwell Gaming Headsets! (latest: Firmware v61 and HQ v97)

    It's been a long time annoyance of mine with all the surround dsps. Virtual surround anything should honestly slap a big warning sign "Set games to surround for wide compatibility. Even if using headphones, you do not want to use Headphone option in game when using our surround software which...

    Audeze - Our Maxwell Gaming Headsets! (latest: Firmware v61 and HQ v97)

    My conclusions with several games: If a game fully supports Atmos (i.e. Overwatch 2) and has an in game Atmos for Headphone option, as long as that's chosen, Headphone/Home Theater doesn't matter. Both will work. If a game support Atmos, but does not have in game "Dolby Atmos For Headphones"...

    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    PS5 doesn't have high output voltage for standard dacs, and need tweaking from the manufacturers to build the dacs around ps5 use. So you either have dacs made to be used for PS5 (like the newer Fulla/Hels), or pair other dacs with higher powered amplifiers that can brute force the low signal...

    Audeze - Our Maxwell Gaming Headsets! (latest: Firmware v61 and HQ v97)

    I'm gonna edit this, since there's so much conflicting info. All I'll say is all you need to do is test 2 channel, headphone, home theater options in a game you know. If it's an FPS or third person shooter, move the character like 10-15 feet away from sound that is constant in and repeatable...

    Introducing the xDuoo TA-66 OTL Tube Amplifier - Now Available on Apos Audio

    I want one of these so bad. Got myself an MT-602 for bedside and TA-22 for main recently, and I'm a fan. This may be in my future. I have some Koss 60ohm drivers, a Senn HD490 that is 150ohm or so, and an LCD-3 which is also over 100ohm that should hopefully work out ok with this.

    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    Hi all, Just wanted to post here since it's been awhile. So I sent my Koss KPH40 to be fixed, which I got back, and got a custom headband "strap" from Etsy for it since the raw metal headband didnt sit well on my head. Also got some red Yaxi pads. While I think the Yaxi pads do affect the...

    Xduoo Amplifiers

    Tested both external and internal. If this is expected behavior... it's fine, just wondering why when all other balanced to SE amps I've used have always been louder on balanced connections. I understand power is not necessary the causation of amp loudness. Gain levels used matter, but you'd...

    Xduoo Amplifiers

    Tried from 20ohm to about 150ohms. SE is slightly louder on all.
