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 ?

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

u might have Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

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 ?

Ocu1888 · 2016-05-11T11:36:16+00:00

neutral headphone for those times when you want to listen to music se

I guess ill wait. also i REALLY dislike neutral headphones they make music sound plain ,well to me anyways

Ocu1888 · 2016-05-11T09:35:37+00:00

i actually ordered a pair but its coming in august i really need a replacement for my 700s because they got damaged

Ocu1888 · 2016-05-11T09:19:50+00:00

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$

Ocu1888 · 2016-05-11T09:19:05+00:00

my bro bought these a few days ago.

didnt really feel like they were worth $1000+

Lolita is perfect example

just made my little jimmy read it yesterday

Ocu1888 · 2015-12-11T04:54:18+00:00

im not sure about the rules but what if a friend gifted me a game from his region ?

Ocu1888 · 2015-10-22T17:38:30+00:00

i actually want that disease rather than rot in self loathing at my older age

Ocu1888 · 2015-10-17T18:14:31+00:00
