How good are the DACs in those LG phones?

Any good headphone yet?

As good as you need for just about anything, with a beefy amp solution by phone standards to boot.

hell yeah

These and fuck those fags with the graphs (usually with the MG or Pro variants instead of the original Clear). Listening experience is what counts.

Speakers

they're not as good as the elex lad

yeah the guy posts graphs of the Clear MG and pretends it's the normal clears. He also shills this POS and claims that there's a new version that's better despite the only FR graph on the market being from the fucking manufacturer lmao.

Lmao still mad I see. You keep posting the old model its embarassing. Focal Clears have shitty treble.

Kek. Good for bang per buck only but not that much better.
Was definitely nice $550 on sale with a good sound signature but Clear is higher tier easily, but for me the Elex wins on looks at least.

Concluded that user could not be reasoned with too. Mental going by how far they went (with you I assume or another user).

I will admit being spoiled after upgrading from an Asus Essence One MK II Muses to RME ADI-2 DAC (later variation) assuming anyone kept up on this crap for DAC/ Pre-Amp and headphone choice.

>Focal Clears have shitty treble.
looks fucking fine to me

What software can i run on pc to make my headphones sound better? Would the software be output aware? Where to get equalizer profile?

Fair play. I was only messing around lol. It would be nice to compare my elex with the clears.

Combining the ear pads of the Clears with the Focal Elear isn't bad either (close to the Focal Elex apparently).

I use Foobar2000 with it's immediate options which has an Equalizer option (under View, DSP).

Further options I apply are for ASIO driver under the Output settings.

Sundara gang reporting in.

yeah, it seems like all focal combos are good for the most part.

unEQ'able treble

I received some Sennheiser HD 600 headphones for free and I want to make the most out of them but I'm need to the whole audio thing.
AFAIK I need an AMP + DAC combo. I've been eyeing pic related (Schiit Magni Heresy) but I don't know if either these are enough or if I need to buy something more or else.
Any advice?

Music. Orchestral/Jazz/Rock/Acoustic mainly with with female vocals.

Decent soundstage.

Wireless. I'm willing to accept they will become a paperweight when the battery dies for the convenience. Multipoint is a plus.

Somewhat waterproof.

Tried Sennheiser Momentum TWS 2, the treble sounds extremely muddy and tinny regardless of EQ settings.

Usa version of the Apple usb c dongle puts out up to 1 watt of clean distortion free power. Is completely transparent as a dac and is plug and play on windows 10+ pcs and most linux distros. $10 make sure you buy an authentic one and its the USA version might no be worth the halle if you are in europe. Large usb dac/amps are obsolete. If one watt isn't enough get apple dongle and use it with the objective 2 amp. Anything else is placebo

* might not be worth the hassle to get one if you are in Europe

Why is this samefag shilling Focal of all things again??
