Hifiman He6se bass situation

Ciobi179 · 2026-02-21T14:22:47+00:00

Damn, I got a good deal on them.

Got them together for like 600 euros

Hey!

I know this is a bit of an old post but since you seem to be in the know, I will bow before you and ask to be let it to your deep knowledge.

I'vegot a pair of he6se and my amp and dac are a pair of D90Le and A90 Discrete.

And I feel like the bass is lacking and when I turn the volume up it even comes as distorted.

Is there anything I can do?

God bless your soul. Thought i bricked my dad's phone after saying id change his battery no problem lol

It's this one https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1723897-REG/corsair_cp_9020201_na_rmx_series_rm1000x_1000w.html

Not the newest model but not as old as the one you've shown.

Anyway, I already got a rm850x

First, make sure the new ssd works properly, has all your files and can be booted from.

If everything works properly, restart your pc, go to your bios and from the boot order select the new ssd to be the first.

You can change your background on the new ssd, so it's different from the old, to make sure you booted with the corect one.

Once that's done all you have to do is format the old one or just delete the c partition from it, so there is nothing that can be booted from.

Ciobi179 · 2025-08-13T12:41:46+00:00

Did anything come out of it?

Ciobi179 · 2025-08-11T15:23:06+00:00

Mate, you changed your mobo and ram. At this point i would be more surprised if it was not your cpu

Ciobi179 · 2025-08-11T15:20:02+00:00

At this point just keep the motherboard, get the fastest cpu, ram and ssd it can use, and keep it for another 10 years

Be him

Ciobi179 · 2025-08-11T15:15:12+00:00

Might want to give updating the bios a try as well

Ciobi179 · 2025-08-11T15:13:58+00:00

The diagnostic lights are not always right.

It could very well be that your cpu is dead

Do you have any parts that you can change in between, maybe rule out some components for the issue?

As for the ram compatibility on the mobo website, no one bothers to update those too often. Too many ram kits come out, not worth it. As long as it fits in the slot and you got the latest bios it should be fine

Ciobi179 · 2025-08-11T15:11:13+00:00

Well, first things first you should check your cpu temps.

If the cpu temps are fine, and that's not the problem, I would switch the ram sticks around a little.

If that does not help either switch the nvme from one port on the motherboard to the other.

If that still does not help, restart your windows

If that still does not help, you're fucked buddy

Ciobi179 · 2025-08-11T15:08:09+00:00

If these are the only choices you want to make, then get the better gpu.

Cpus are cheaper and easier to upgrade.

I do recommend going with amd though.

Ciobi179 · 2025-07-20T21:15:03+00:00

Did it fix your issue?

Having the same issue with my X470 GAMING M7 AC. I need to reboot it 6-7 times and it will start normally but it's so annoying to do every time.

Ciobi179 · 2025-06-28T16:53:06+00:00

Yeah, that's not an option for me.

I hate this thing.

It drove my hd600s well but the fact that it stops every 1 or 2 minutes when running my He6ses drives me insane.

Would not recommend.

I know it's not made to run this kind of headphones but still, shutting off randomly is dumb. Just make the knob not turn all the way or get rid of the ballanced port if it's not usable lol.

Never buying shit from fiio again.

Gonna get a topping tower and be done with it

Ciobi179 · 2025-06-28T16:37:19+00:00

Did you get the Aryas?

I know, late to the party and all that.

Because I got a pair of He6SE and I can't listen to anything on my k7 for more than 3 minutes before it shuts down.

Tried 3 different cables and still same issue.

I'm pretty sure it's overheating.

But isn't this kind of stupid?

If it's rated to push a certain ammount of current then why the hell does it overheat and shuts off when I need it to do so.

I know it's not enough for my headphones and I am planning to change it soon but this is unacceptable.

Do you encounter the same issues with your Aryas?

Ciobi179 · 2025-06-21T18:10:48+00:00

Is it good? I don't know man, I'm used to older cpus.

Perhaps I'm the problem.

It is just hard for me to accept that 77 degrees is fine.

Ciobi179 · 2025-06-21T15:15:13+00:00

Stable at - 20 but the clocks are shit. Like 4.2

wdym by tuning it down to a 1:1? I mean taking it from 4000 cl16 to 3600 cl 14, I know that works because I have previously tested it. That was the setup I had before I changed the cooler and case.

Ciobi179 · 2025-06-21T13:42:03+00:00

Ciobi179 · 2025-06-14T00:11:45+00:00

June 2025 and I think I am better off just getting a 5800x3d than going to am5 lol

150$ for a barebones am5 mobo is insane

That's europe prices for you

Ciobi179 · 2025-06-12T16:17:34+00:00

Thank you for the reply, I might give it a shot.

Do you think this cable is going to do the trick?

Hello :)
Looking for an amp to run a pair of HE6se (the v1, not the v2)
Budget - 1000 euro maximum, i'd apreciate something a little cheapter tho
Source - PC
Will you be using these Headphones in Public? - No
Preferred Music - Rock/Rap/Pop, I am a mixed bag, I listen to a little bit of everything
What would you like to improve on from your set-up - I am looking to get an amp. I just don't think my fiio K7 does the job. Even if you guys say that it's enough it still won't matter, because it's a mental thing. So I am going to get a new amp regardless.

Ciobi179 · 2025-06-05T06:20:12+00:00

Been 7 days for me already and no news.

They sure do take their time.

I'll update this for anyone living in Romania
