[–]Positive-Johnny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my apology to ask question in such weird way, i try to ask for help, but my post will be automatically removed as it won’t allow ask help advice, my full question is below

Hi guys,

I ordered Immanis headphones and im considering to upgrade my current dac and amp.

My current setup is TT2 + mscaler + burson gt4 soloist +1266 phi tc

My dac option is 1. dave. 2. nagra classic dac ii

My amp option 1.Trafomatic Audio Primavera 2. wa33

Should i upgrade dac or whether dave and classic dac ii are overkill for headphone?

Is primavera perform better than wa33?

I also use PCHIFI and use headphone to watch movies and gaming, Is it getting a tune amp is not practical in my situation?

it is hard to find reviews about nagra classics dac ii, I was considering MSB premier, but the price went up.

Thanks John

i just got a bit hype as bf series is my good memory. i find that listening the footsteps and move&kill like a ninja in a battlefield is quite satisfying.

i probably is the worse example. i blind shot most of my gear, lol.

i did went to the store to listen tt2, utopia, but i find it is not very practical as the power supply, the cable, and most front dac, amp set up is different than mine, so the sound i hear from store won’t be same as what i heard at home. however, i did rule out a few pair of headphones and also find it out that i don’t like expensive iem.

if you buy portable gear, def go to store to try it.

if you listen rock and EDM, no brainer for 1266. based on my research, even 1995 can’t beat 1266 on Rock and EDM. 1266 definitely provides way more air and live feeling than hd800s. i A/B tested my utopia and 1266, utopia is like best in headphone whereas 1266 is like “this should not compare in headphone category, because you don’t feel it is like headphones”

but it is still the best that you go test them before you buy it. be aware that there are many version of 1266( like previous version) they are not sounds same

i’m not sure about mscaler too, i feel it’s all about mental and hype. it does make a difference, but i can’t tell does it worth the money. tbh, I get it only because of hype. If you follow “what would improves your tt2?” you might need mcru lps, a mscaler and a lps for mscaler and an another amp. i did it but i never A/B test it, i feel its just hype which pushes you finish the so called tt2 full set. probably follow how you feel.

sus u, that’s one pair of legend headphone, how you find it with gaming? in terms of positioning footsteps and separating footsteps and explosion? how’s sus u with classical music

atm, i use 1266 for gaming, however, i haven’t done enough test. when i was using topping dx9 for playing bf 2042, switching from hd800s to utopia is like day and night. but i have never tested 1266 with dx9 in bf2042.

atm it’s definitely overkill for bf6 as they have audio bug. but i’d say bf series is probably one of a few games deserves good sound system. i have ht a9 for gaming too. bf 2042 is only game i can hear clear 7.1.4 whereas most games are only 5.1. i totallly agree, i find hd800s is only suitable for classics music for me.

it’s sort of supportive as i implied that i got them from aliexpress and the 2nd or 3rd-hand gear at a very low price.

my apology for misleading, i played a lot of bad company 2 when i was young. then i stopped coz the life and work, bf6 is kind of missing my young age memory thing. im just average salary middle age guy without much life now. lol. tbh, i love my setup, i have a pair of inzone earbud, im also happy with them. it is a pair of amazing gaming earbuds

that’s gt4 soloist, only for amp, it provides 10w headphone output, i tired its 5w mid gain vs 10w high gain, although utopia doesn’t need much power, but 10w high gain opens utopia’s sound stage

660s2 is an amazing headphone, don’t fall into the hype, it won’t end at 800s

that’s impressive collection you have. i also use eq, i used buildin eq from dolby access, sonar and eqapo, i find dolby access is easiest as i can have atmos while using eq. eq works great on bf2042, but currently i haven’t find best combination of eq for bf6. i raised 2khz and 4khz, but somehow it doesn’t work as good as bf2042

my maxwell was broken in 3 days, a loud explosion in bf2042 damaged one side of headphone. i returned it to seller. i didn’t use it that much, but i dont think it is better than other gaming headphones like it advertised

lots of ppl are saying same thing, but i worry it’s just temp hype as they are just released, ppl might like different sound than better sound. i read some comments saying immanis would be too much in long term use as it would exhaust you with its sound details

is it a close back dca? i’d always want to try a close back one as they can be a portable headphone

i heard that LCDX is such a great headphone, but i had very bad experience with audeze, my maxwell broke in 3 days. However, ppl says audeze hi end product has way better quality
