I have Bifrost (AKM 4490) and Audioquest Dragonfly Red (ESS Sabre 9016) for DACs and Gustard H10 with Burson V6 Classic Opamps for amp. I agree that while not bad sounding, there seems to be just a little something off with the Bifrost. I love the DFR + H10 pairing even if it feels like it has a little less detail and bass impact than with the Bifrost. Bass is rediculously impactful with the DFR + H10 combo with my modded TH-X00 PH and clarity beyond that of the Bifrost and the Sennheiser HD700 really sounds nicely full with good low end and MUCH detail. From experience using the line out mode of the DFR I am really thinking of getting the X20U (Balanced ESS Sabre ES9018) to pair with the H10 and call it my end setup. The H10 seems to prefer the Sabre chipsets...

Looks like we have similar taste. I have the DFR as a portable solution, iFi iDSD BL as a transportable solution and the Modi2/Magni2 stack and the Bimby-H10 pairing. Strangely, I prefer Modi with H10 over the Bimby.. maybe my ears are still getting used to this pairing. I didn't think of the Sabre chip combo with H10 till you mentioned it. Since BL and DFR both use Sabres, I will definitely try out both as a DAC with the H10. I am planning to do the Anax mod on my HD700 to get rid of the treble peak prior to using it again. To my ears, H10 sounds better with planars while DFR, BL and Magni2 sounds better with the dynamic ones. Will definitely try Bimby and HD700 after pairing it to the Magni2. Yep, if Sabre works well with the H10, definitely gonna try the x20u! Thanks for the suggestions, it helped!!

Feels like my head is in a vice. Can the headband of a HD 58X be "unbent" ? Will the plastic on the top of the headband crack ?

How do i use the PC37x with laptops?
Laptops only have a single port. I bought the adapter cable but when I connect the headset to the laptop through the cable, I can only hear the audio. I can't use the mic. Any idea why?

Are the Audio-Technica ATH-R70X headphones better than the ATX-AD900X?
I have gotten a little bit into audiophile stuff after watching some dankpods videos, and I want to step up my game with a better pair of open-back headphones for around 300 USD, but I do not really know what to get. I have looked at Sennheiser and other companies, but what I am mostly looking for is a pair of high ohm headphones with big drivers in them (about 50mm) because I am a huge bass junkie. I came across Audio-Technica and they have exactly what I am looking for in my budget, and the products they make look good too. I have not tried the headphones myself but they seem like the best option because everything else I find is more expensive than I would like. The main question here is if the two headphones mentioned in the title are good, which one is better than the other, or if I should just stay away from this company in general. As a newbie, am very open to suggestions about other headphones I could get and things I should look for and stay away from, so any constructive...

Even though I am not new to the audiophile game, I am looking for inputs on the following as I am stalled a bit:
One of the pairings I currently have is the Schiit Bifrost multibit with the Gustard H10. My other amp/dac combos are very well paired and these two are the odd ones right now. I am getting a feel that neither the multibit nor the Gustard is performing its best with this pairing. I have a good mind to just buy a Gustard X20 or a used X12 to pair with the H10 or maybe pair the bifrost multibit with a Lyr2/Mjolinr or a used Ragnarok. I am not sure which one to go for first (and whether there are other pairings better than these ones at this price point) and your inputs will be helpful. I am not concerned about the headphones since I have a few planars and dynamics available at the moment.
TIA.
