Well I mean they are also using a product render for the spark dac, so itās more that they donāt have it fully down rather than your image editing lol (I donāt know if the proportions are correct on the render for the dac)
Mon would you say the $100 differnece from the SU8 is worth it over the D10. Is the SU8 that much better in sound or do I pay more for the features
You are more paying for more features and balanced, so in this case I donāt think itās worth it at the moment imo
So in pure sound quality from that point of view are they close or still rather far apart
I would say the su8 is an improvement, but to notice that substantial of an improvement I think you would really want to run it balanced which you canāt do with your amp. I think the d10 has better sound for the money single ended. If you wanted an upgrade to the d10 down the line, the d50s is a good choice, which I would rate higher than the su8 when using single ended
Awesome thanx
Guys I want to pad roll a bit. Everyone says the ZMF universe perforated suade pads. But will the non perforated be just as good? Dont want to make them to relaxed.
If you dont want them too relaxed, maybe you should try the Hybrid ZMF Universe pads. I havent tried them, but based on my knowledge of ZMF pads, those would probably be your best bet. The sheepskin universe pads created a hollow sound that I didnāt particularly care for.
Thanx will try to read up and see if anybody has tried that combo yet. But will the suade vs perf suade be better?
Iāve owed this thread these pics for ages, the quick and dirty Sendy Aiva stick tape fazor (I got this idea from when DMS did this to his M1060Cās) (Iāve also removed the hair in the picture) Its done on all four sides back and front of the left and right driver

Overall yes really focusses the mids I found, doesnāt seem to funk with the overall sound signature and assists focusing that air. Iām excited to get ZMF perferated Micro suede pads but Iām one of those people who really liked the stock sound with the peferated stock pads
I also want to upgrade to the ZMF pads but mostly for comfort

I had the perfect EQ settings for my Aiva but lost the file and cant remember what exactly I did. Here is what im running them atm. Anyone else running a eq with the Aiva?

Found the perfect eq for me, add some sub bass but not the upper bass that makes it bloated and boomy. Also added some in the midrange. Really brings out the vocals.

I donāt use eq on any of my headphones (except a select few when doing studio work), if anything I just boost the subbass a bit by like 3db but I donāt do that often, so I canāt help you out too much lol

Iāve never tried EQ whats the pros and cons of doing it?
EQing should be in a case-by-case scenario. Most people will describe that they will use EQ only 5% of the time, but when itās there, itās nice.
Letās say, you like 90% of your sound, but just want a touch more of one thing or less of another, EQ can do that for you.
Or, if everything sounds great, but one recording sucks, you can EQ for that one song, etc.
