Beyer DT 990

JDS will work it is just a bit clinical. Monoprice Liquid Spark pairs best with it as well as IFi Zen Air Can. Forget tube amps I’ve tested them with this pair and it isn’t good unless the volume is kept loud (they reveal too much vacuum noise). The 58’s are exceptional and a steal at that price.

They are interesting. Run a 20hz-20khz test tone sweep. If you got a pair that does not rattle, consider yourself very lucky.

I had a rattle in the 400SE, eventually exchanged it, and the "new" one rattles worse...

Shure SRH 840A should fit your particular needs.

It works. I do it. You have to change the DAC settings to allow up to its max potential. Windows default is 44.1.

 

I wanted to give the company a chance to exchange a set of cans before I made some conclusions about this pair. I bought a set nearly a year ago, and at first thought they were pretty solid. After some tests I was wrong. The buzzing and rattles became apparent. I did everything possible, every online trick etc. Nothing fixed the issue, especially in lower and lower mid registers. I just got my exchange unit, and they are not burned in, but the horrible buzzing is present but in slightly different frequencies, worse really. Just a warning about the quality control of the lower models. I was going to buy a Sundara or XS but I will not buy any more Hifiman ever. My replacement pair cannot be used and buzzes so much it is basically trash. Unfortunate.

You need to change the settings. You have to use a phone and the FIIO App. Turn in high gain and high impedance options and it will fix your problems. I had the same issue with the KA3.

Atom Amp + can, but one output is RCA and the other 1/8" which means you will probably need an adapter from 1/8" to rca for the other end, or use a patch cord 1/8" to 1/8" .

Back in the old days the connectors unscrewed at the ends, and that is what you have here.

They will eventually rust.
