Good call on checking the second hand market. Drop isn’t currently stocking Fostex headphones, but I really enjoy their products and would love the chance to work with them since I started consulting for Drop. I may have to pick up an EMU Teak, though it seems Hyde preferred the Bamboo model a little bit!
Evshruglol I definitely think it's a preference thing, so many people prefer E-Mu Teak over TH-X00. I think both are good but TH-X00's vocal presentation is more forward for me, and I like forward vocal. TH-X00 also feels a bit cleaner for me, E-Mu Teak feel slightly like information overload (too much mids?). I think Bamboo cup is somewhat in the middle in terms of sound.
But TH-X00 being "w shaped" having some breather room so it's easier to hear some notes. E-Mu Teak filled the hole a bit more so there's slightly less contrast between notes.
Though now I'm using Lawton TH900, was using D5200 before this.
:P
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
