Am I going insane? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

I connect the Zeus elite with the 4.4 connector. Maybe the rca out of the element is the problem, I’ll take a look at it

Am I going insane? (alien.top)
 

So first of all: hear me out.

I’m not a professional listener, I do not believe that a more expensive amp will sound better than a cheap one and I won’t buy a 1000€ DAC because it gives me better sound quality.

Yet I bought a A70 pro to power a pair of tungstens in the future.

So now I have it so I use it. I connect it to my element III with the RCA pre amp output and plug my Zeus elite into them.

So now: Am I insane or do those headphones suddenly sound more lean?

Like the elites are far from neutral, they have quite some warmth and body to them yet on the A70 they sound kinda thin. Like did I do something wrong or am I missing something?

Has anyone tested the MH Tungsten? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

Yeah I bought a A70 pro for this reason. Pairing them with my element III and using it as a dac.

If this won’t work I guess I’ll have to get a D70 or E50 to pair with it to get the whole power

Yeah I’ve red the head-if forum too but that’s basically the only source of information I could find…

It’s surprising that such a niche headphone isn’t talked about more on audiophile forums. Well maybe the 12 week waiting list is the reason lol

So around 2-3 weeks ago I ordered a pair of MH Tungsten. Call me an idiot as it was a complete blind buy but the hype around them is kinda real. A 1499-1999$ pair that rivals headphones double its price sound promising, only issue is you need a nuclear reactor to power them.

Did anyone here order a pair too and already received it?

Mind to give a short „review“?

Decided on the Topping A70 pro but not the D70 (yet) and also not the new DX9 -- thoughts? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

I wanted to get the A70 pro for my Tungsten.

I want to pair it with my element III and connect it to the a70 with the preamp output.

How much power would I lose if I do this, instead of getting the D70 for the A70?

Now they are open back

Do your headphones REALLY perform much better with more expensive DAC/AMP? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community
