My audio room is my bedroom. There are so many things in the way, and so much restriction for speaker placement, that I purchased the Dspeaker correction device. That will help the speakers which sound good but aren't wowing me yet. Headphones, well maybe some more breaking in, or maybe taking the preamp out of the chain. I am not sure what to feel about the concept of me "adjusting to the sound". I remember a few decades ago listening to high end equipment on vinyl and feeling wowed immediately. Thank you for all advice
SQ lacking
I bought my first hi end audio system. Played, so far, some Redbook cds. On my speakers, I think I am hearing improvement as some time goes on. My room is horrible for room acoustics...as bad as it gets...so I am going to address that with my Dspeaker antimode 2.0 soon.
But then I switched to my headphone unit, of which I have a Questyle CMA 600i headphone amp/dac. So room acoustics have no import here. I plugged in my Sennheiser hd6xx headphones, popped in some Redbook cds, and man it just sounds rather muffled to me. I don't hear crisp details and nice separation of instruments. I am not wowed. I have a good system here, every component getting good reviews. So, does it need break in? Is it terrible cd recordings? Or, would I realize better sound if I went cd transport - dac - headphone amp? Right now it's cd transport - dac - preamp - headphone amp.
