Description

I spend a lot of time at my desk so I listen to this system most of the time. Loving the LS50's in the nearfield. Utilizing JRiver Media Center with mostly Flac files to the PSA PWD.

SanDisk Extreme PRO 240GB SSD + Samsung Seagate HN-M201RAD Momentus SpinPoint ST2000LM003 2TB HDD -> Flac -> JRiver 21 -> optimized /w Fidelizer Pro -> Supra USB -> UpTone Audio USB Regen -> Hard adapter -> PS Audio Perfect Wave II 2.4.3 -> Discovery Plus 4 XLR -> Parasound Halo -> KEF LS50 (IsoAcoustic stands) + HSU STF-1 Sub x 2.

 ~ OR ~ Same source to: Icon Audio HP8 MKII/Lyr > TH-X00 / LCD2.2f / K712 / SRH1540 / HD650.

Also utilizing Fidelizer Plus developed by WindowsX, as well as the Uptone Regen which has brought my enjoyment of this system to much higher level.

Hi. Very nice system you've put together there! Just curious, which of your headphones do you prefer overall? I'm assuming that since you have muyltiple head amps, you have some cans that you prefer on one of the other amps? I've purchased and rented two Audeze 'phones....the LCD 2 Rev2 and just recently the LCD-X. I've also rented the Hifiman (I forget the model.....600 I think. One below their top of the line). Anyway, I didn't care for the Audeze at all. They emphasized the bass which took away from the other frequencies. Also, I thought the 2 Rev2s were heavey but MY GOD!!! The LCD-X was like two cinder blocks on my ears with a C-clamp as the headband. I simply can't believe Audeze sells any of these things.
I ultimately decided to purchase Sennheiser HD800s. Many say they are bright and I understand why, but I'm fine with them. The soundstaging blows away any other headphone I've heard though.....by a wide margin, actually.
