sound is much more subjective than TV screens for example. it has a lot to do with how our short term memory works, I think. you can place 2 TVs next to each other and compare side by side but with speakers or amps it is much more difficult and by the time you have switched your memory of device...

price not announced?

I thought excessive high frequencies can cause one to get tired but I may be wrong

I did hear that it's an option but never got around to try this as it really did not bother me too much. eventually switched to ad different amp as my main one so might try this sometime when I have nothing to do.

my C545 also acted up a few times, it had no problems with sound or actual reading of CDs, but the electronics got wonky - either it would not open the tray or continue closing it when already closed and other similar issues. also it went into shuffle/repeat cycles randomly. both issues are...

curious that NAD C320 performed a bit better. both are budget models from the same line, just made in different decades. I really hope sometime someone sends Amir one of: C355, C356, C375. it would be nice to know if the higher end of NAD's lineup performs even better or simply stays competent...

NAD has many variations of similar design, C352, C355, C356, C375. all kinds of power levels and all very reasonably priced and available for a long time, at least 2015 or even later. in any case an amp from 26 years ago performs same as one from today and somehow the one from today is...

it all becomes less impressive when you consider that NAD C320 is next to it in the ranking, while being a quite an old design/model and a budget one to begin with. I think we set the expectations for amps way too low nowadays.

it may sound strange but the BT editions are not really similar to actual K371. I have K371 and K361BT. the pads on K361BT disintegrated in ~1 year, the glue is a weak point, the seams come apart. but K371 is fine so far. also they sound different and feel different, the materials and moulds...

oldest editions of AKG K240 are roughly from the same era and aren't nearly as strange. cool shape though.

there was a vinyl release made from chocolate...

interesting that even XR version does not have much bass. wonder how SR would perform. btw the sound can be tweaked by using different filters on Etymotics. would be cool to measure that although filters would be ruined, they can't be interchanged without damaging them.

you could use it as a DAC and attach it to an external amp... headphone amp stage of 0404 USB has never been its strong point.

found the transparent tips: https://www.amazon.com/SpinFit-CP145-Patented-Silicone-Replacement/dp/B07BPXKDST

it's a shame drop made these charts slightly different from their own measurements of 58X for example. anyway, isn't that a pretty big drop at 6-10k? what do graph experts think?

so which is it?

are replacement ear tips & filters on sale anywhere? for ear tips I am guessing options from other brands may fit, but how about filters?

the real question is why can't Sennheiser build a model with all of those advantages at a reasonable price, i.e. 120% of the price of HD 560 S.

don't know how good of comparison that is. my expectation is that this will not be bit-perfect.

I assure you there is loss when converting 44.1->48 it involves a floating point calculation (how many 44.1s can you fit in 48? more than 1, less than 2) and no matter how good SoX is, playing at original rate is better. if you were talking about a significant improvement, maybe it would be fine...
