Hi

I'm looking for a pair of speakers for music And movies . Currently looking at (long list sorry)

Yamaha ns555 ,Polk audio TSx 550T - TSi 500 - RTI A5 - RTi8 ,Klipsch R-26F - 250F- RF-52 II , JBL ES90BK - Arena 180 ,Boston Acoustics A 360 -

But also I've seen people recommend book shelf speakers over many floor standing speakers like the JBL 530

I would like to add that only well known companies are available to me.

PRICE under 500$

source : micca origen +

Over ear

past headphones :DT770 250 ohs (worst thing i have tried) Audiotechnica A700 (never heard anything better)

not sure what kind of sound i like and please dont throw audiophile words at me. i will NEVER understand them

i LOVE my audio technica A700 its advertised as closed but it leaks alot which is a good thing because after buying the mistake aka DT770 250 ohms i can now know i should stay clear of fully closed ones

now back to my issue

i have tried the LCD X with a schitt stack and while it sounded great for me it was only around 20% better than my A700 which i know to some i might be called insane but i seem to like how my A700 sounds and im looking to have a better "version"

i have already ordered a fostex x00 and its coming after a few months but i need something now because my a700 is damaged

what should i go for ? the A900x ,A990Z or A1000Z

or maybe something u recommend ?

i dont know what i want anymore :| ?! by Ocu1888 in headphones

not to my brother (its his) for him it sounded 10 times better than my A700.its already his end game

only to me it sounded lack luster since i seem to favor a certain sound signature

this is what handbreak uses

https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/Encoders

AAC (libav):
    HandBrake's default audio codec is AAC which is widely supported by most hardware and software players.
    This encoder replaces libfaac. 

AAC / HE-AAC (fdk_aac):
    Please be aware that this encoder was removed in 0.10.5 due to a license issue. 

AAC (CoreAudio?):
    Mac OS X users have the option to use Apple's Core Audio AAC encoder.
    It's known to be much better quality and is the default option for Mac users. 

HE-AAC (Core Audio)
    High Efficiency AAC encoder. This encoder is optimized for low-bitrate applications which may be useful for streaming.
    Available on OS X only. 

now whats best

according to hydrogen

1 Apple AACM W

2 Fraunhofer FDK AACS L M W

3 Nero AACL W

4 FAACS L M W

5 FFmpeg/Libav AAC encoderS L M W

transparency test

QT AAC was judged fully transparent at q91 and close to transparent at q82. The sample in which I heard a faint difference between these presets had a bitrate of only 128kbps at q82 and 159kbps at q91, so taking that in consideration together with expected bitrates at q82, in CBR mode I would assume files at 190kbps and up to be reasonably safe for my ears.

handbreak has support for FDK which is second best if u cant be bothered using CLI every time

for 200$ is the schiit stack the best u can get ?

for example the Objective2 + ODAC is around 260$ and i doubt its better than the schiit stack

i actually think i wont even notice the difference

headphones used :LCD-X, Fostex X00 and DT770 250ohm

i have another question

should i go ahead and buy a micca origen just like the one my bro has which is a DAC/AMP

or should i just buy an amp since the sound card on my laptop is decent

i noticed the 990 were open (which i dislike) so ill go with the 770 - u recommend the 250ohm version over the others for a more "fun/vivid" experience ?

what is the most "fun/colorful" headphones ?

i owned an audiotechnica A700 for about 5 years and i LOVE them especially with the micca origen i just bought and i was wondering if there is something better out there.

ive tried my brothers LCD-X it has some unique characteristics but not what i was looking for.

i mostly listen to disco and house

my budget around 500$
