I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell to be honest. I didn't notice a difference when I had monitors, but it's not like I actually knew how to measure a change or where to place them even.

Wait why the sad face?

I posted a link as a response to the top level comment btw.

🧐

Yeah! The album is called "Bankrupt!" Entertainmemt is a good track from it though.

You're probably aware already, but if not, you could request through their custom shop to get the split part higher up.

Just a hunch :)

Are you drunk right now, Jade Jr?

I go back and forth between them every few days, and every time I switch, I go "yup this is my favorite." Probably the 660S by a hair though. If I could only have one it'd be it because it's more of a catch-all for my music preferences.

The DT 1990 is more aggressive and punchy (in a good way), the staging is more open and wider by bit (660s is decently wide but I perceive it more around my head than infront of me, both are cool with me), it's also clinically analytical where the 660 is warm and dark. I feel like the 660 gives music it's own presentation, while the 1990 just shows you it as is.

I fear they might actually punch me

Correct, just brotherly tomfoolery and a little bit of embellishment.

It is!

Co. The pad itself is comfy, but the structure is surprisingly poor. Mine got torn the first or second time I detached it. Would not recommend it unless your wife's grandma is good with sewing too.

Amazon! Only like 90 bucks and it is really good quality. I'll try to get a link if interested.

I see what you did there ;)

Nice, glad someone spotted it!

Ehrm, he probably just needs a professional cleaning haha.

The little screen hypnotized me into buying it. It's a DAC/AMP combo unit called "ADI-2 DAC FS" by a company called RME

Oh God, I totally forgot about that. He did turn it way up :(

You don't need it is what I'm saying. And no Amazon music doesn't have the capability to "take over the DAC". The only streaming service on windows I know of that does bit rate/sample depth matching is Qobuz.

I was interested in trying them, but I had a bad experience with their customer service over an accessory. Figured if support for an accesory was that bad, I didn't want to find out how'd they treat their thousand+ dollar headphones. So, I no longer care to give them any of my business.

I mean, can you tell a difference between foobar and the mismatched bit rate/sample depth?

The answer is no, though. It won't affect sound quality.

Not to mention unit variation. I wholeheartedly agree, and I'd probably like the 990 myself too. The 1990 peak rarely is an issue and my 770 has never been sibilant to my ears (it was actually my favorite stock signature for a long while)

To be fair, the elites have some of the best build quality out there, and are extremely comfortable (so are the regular empys). I don't mind paying extra for those things, considering how expensive other stuff in that range is anyway.
