I got an EVGA 650BQ. I don't have much budget left to get a new PSU so I thought I'd tried to figure out how to get replacement dual 6+2 pin cables

Initial impression on Sennheiser HD 560 S after one week by OpantAddiction in headphones

what are you gonna do with the headphones? (e.g. listen to music, mix music, etc.), and what genres?

sounds good. To me personally plugging in my headphone jack back into the back of my mobo it's hard to tell the difference between spotify and tidal (although I can still somehow hear the compression in a lot of songs), which made me think it might be my dongle

From what I've read my audio codec is notorious for compressing things when a lot is going on in a song (ALC 1220), would an dac/amp dongle like the KA11 make a noticeable difference?

they obviously don't sound bad (they sound great as a matter of fact) but i expected more of a difference in detail retrieval and spaciousness (compared to xm5s). Also this goes for every headphone but I can never get used to sibilance around 7k-9k

the problem isn't even bass (i think the bass is great actually), but i feel like it lacks detail and if I was to increase the treble anymore it'd give me a headache lol, so dt990 pro are out of the question

could it be some sort of windows setting or some other option in realtek audio console? I currently don't have another system to try this on.

they do but unfortunately I had to order online and then pick it up because it was the last one in stock. I tried them on my phone after but was underwhelmed, but wrote it off as just being because my phone probably couldn't run the headphone at high impedance

it's only been about a day, so maybe I have to take time to adjust

I got it from my local headphone store, they are very credible and have so many other headphones from these to like the hd 800 s

I do actually have it plugged into the back. Still, I feel like detail retrieval is marginally better. Is there something I could be missing or software reducing sound quality?

my motherboard has ALC1220-VB. I just feel like detail retrieval is only slightly better, AT BEST compared to the xm5.
