Yessss, very interested to hear your impressions once that brute is in your hands and hooked up to both speakers and headphones. Congratulations on the DAC and all the other little tid-bits that are being purchased in anticipation.

These are the foam discs that Beyerdynamic uses in the TYGR300R and that somewhat insulate the so-called Beyer peak.

After I inserted it into my DT770, 880 - 600 ohm and 990 -600 ohm in advance to test whether the peaks in the heights can also be tamed with these headphones without affecting their other qualities.

I can say it works, that’s why I ordered these foam discs to use in my entire DT line.

My Tygr 300R’s just arrived.
EDIT:
Ok so well I just tried them on. I think I like the sound signature but I have only had them on for a few minutes. Compared to the X2HRs they give me a bit more pressure. Coming from a closed back gaming headset these feel much more like something I am used to from the openess part.
My ears touch the felt discs which is something I have to think about if I will get used to or not.

Dang son! That is some serious gear. Congrats! Been curious about the Hiby players recently. Specifically the R5 and the R3 Pro. I was looking at the JVC a while back but kinda forgot about them. Might have to put them back on the radar again.

Duuuuuuude, JVC are legit af. Opened my eyes to the type of refinement that IEMs have, but really fun dynamic IEMs. And yeah the hiby arrived recently-ish but I bought it in prime day for 278 so pretty happy about that lol, powers the lcd 2 balanced really well. I’m impressed

My Atom DAC has no display. So, picked up the most inexpensive DAC I could find that displays sample rates because I’m on a Amazon HD trial, and not so sure that their “Exclusive” mode is really doing anything other than raising the volume a bit not unlike “Loudness” buttons do, and then telling me that I’m playing at a higher rate - HD vs Ultra HD…

The Ify psu is to power the E30 and if I read the webs correctly, I could also use it to power a Zen Dac if that were to become a thing for me.

These came this morning - neumi BS5 and a set of micca cables.

BS5 2
Got them swapped in and playing around a bit. The isolation pads I’m using may not be enough. I am thinking I need to get proper risers if I keep these on the desk, but I got a set of yoga blocks I can use while experimenting with placement.
