@yyzsantabarbara Thanks for your detailed response. Once I'm done with upgrading the DAC in my 2 channel rig, I might refocus on my headphone system. I really like the R2R sound, so I might be getting a similar DAC for the headphones too. Although, I've heard great things about RME. Or maybe a used Benchmark.

I recently looked at the ROON DSP settings and did not try it for too long since it was for Audeze. However, now that you mention it for Focal. I will check it out. Though I must say I like the way the headphone sounds in the current ROON configuration. I also use the headphones for FM tuner over the air and my SACD player that can only output analog (due to mods). So no ROON DSP available for those 2 sources. They also sound great, BTW - PM me when you are ready to get your next DAC. |
@yyzsantabarbara -- It's definitely worthy trying IMO. Here's the Oratory 1990 EQ settings for your headphones ... https://www.dropbox.com/s/imsf6j4nmp7684v/Meze%20Empyrean.pdf?dl=0 I'll definitely contact you when I'm ready for the next DAC. Thanks. |
Hi @arafiq The 3p is the standard grounded cable. The 2p is ungrounded. It is useful for eliminating ground or audio loops traveling through the ground leg of the wire. As long as your amp is grounded using the 2p is up to you. But if you are experiencing no hum or frequency interference I would go with the 3p Because being a conventional grounded cable the 3p is good to go in any & all applications. Cheers, P.B. |
