Happened to me. Not exactly headphone fireworks, but Schiit amp fireworks (Heresy). Really excited about it, yeah!
Got an Aune X7S for double the money (European prices) and never looked back. Sound is definitely better with the Aune, but whether it is 2x better - I'd say it's subjective. In hindsight, for the improvement in sound and build quality - I'd say it's worth the difference (for me).

I literally just bought a topping l30 II, with the sole purpose off controlling the volume with a cool ass knob
imthecapedbaldy t1_iy5xe5l wrote
The L30 had a smooth ass knob. But I switched to the DX3 Pro+ for the bluetooth and way way smaller wall adapter. Did not notice anything different in sound.
SonOfYavanna t1_iy5yheg wrote
That's good to know, it seemed smooth on the pics, but that wall adapter be thicc indeed. Plugging it on the power strip will be a challenge. My first thought was to go for the DX3 pro+, or the fiio k7, but I Already own a soundblaster g6, which already has a pretty good dac built in. Honestly, I've always wanted a lil dac/amp "stack" so I plan on getting a red E30II to go with my black L30II once my g6 dies (not that I wish for it to die)
1trickana t1_iy6jfzx wrote
I got the K7, it uses a laptop style charger where the wall plig is normal and there's a box in the middle of the cable
jgre98 t1_iy814f8 wrote
Do you find having to use 3.5mm annoying? I wanted to sidegrade from a schiit magni/apple dongle, for the bluetooth and additional control/inputs. But i find the 3.5mm headphone port to be a deal breaker. If it was quarter inch it would be the perfect dac/amp. Im thinking of going for the DX5 instead but im not sure if its worth the additional $200+
imthecapedbaldy t1_iyaif5k wrote
Not at all. Might just be me, but I previously had a HarmonicDyne Zeus used on the L30 - and it was so annoying! It terminated in 4.4, and you had to use an adapter to 3.5mm, then an adapter to quarter inch. It was one giant dong. Now both my HD600 and Salnotes Zero terminate in 3.5, and I just simply don't find anything wrong when plugging it in.

The whole amps don’t make a difference thing is one of the dumbest large takes i’ve heard in a long time. Can’t believe this view point is semi popular
Clickbaitllama t1_iy54ujm wrote
Most modern solid state amps don’t make much of an audible diffrence to most headphones. As long as you have enough volume headroom and the distortion is under audible levels (which almost all amps are, unless they are meant to distort), most solid state amps are going to sound the same.
Basically they 100% make a diffrence, but those diffrences are usually so small, they don’t matter to the normal person with normal ears
PenisFly_AhhhhScary t1_iy55w87 wrote
highly disagree having tried multiple different solid state amplifiers. A lot of them sound similar but most of them have discernible differences. I think it’s more of the headphone benefiting from more power or current rather than the actual sound of the amplifier. But to say there is no difference just means you haven’t tried multiple amps in multiple price points on headphones that scale well. A perfect example of amps making a difference are on the hifiman susvara. When I tried susvara for the first time I heard it on dcs lina. I thought it sounded like dogshit. Later that day I tried it on a benchmark hpa4 and I was blown away. To this day it’s still the best sounding thing i’ve heard. Amps make a difference more at the mid to high end. From seeing peoples profiles it seems most people who say this only own one or two cheap amplifiers or are fairly new to the headphone space.

did you test them blind?
PenisFly_AhhhhScary t1_iy59rjs wrote
no I was just like ooo this one looks cool. Most of the time It’s like ehh not much difference from zen can but sometimes there would be a really big difference like when I tried hpa4, nautilus, and iha6.
Clickbaitllama t1_iy5henq wrote
The only way a headphone can benefit from more power is either having more headroom, or you just cranking it up louder than usual. Which for most headphones, from the low to high end, can be achieve with amps in the 100-200 dollar range/
PenisFly_AhhhhScary t1_iy5hsxo wrote
Quick question but have you tried multiple different amps in different price points with multiple headphones?
Clickbaitllama t1_iy5jmam wrote
Couldn't say I've tried the highest ends of audio amplifiers, but i've tried amps from the apple dongle to the balanced output of a thx 789. From the lighting apple dongle, I can definitely hear a difference from let's say my e10k-tc, since even with Iems, I have to max out my phone to get decent volumes.
But when comparing the e10k to other higher end and expensive amps, the only time I heard a meaningful difference was when the e10k either wasn't loud enough or had no headroom. This is with both iems, and open backs (though I don't own anymore open backs, as I sold them).
My question to you though would be have your volume matched, and blind tested your amps? Without that, placebo can very well be in play.
coldchillin-nc t1_iy6ppmw wrote
The differences aren’t things like details or timbre. Although that could happen. The biggest differences I hear in scaling up is the stage becoming deeper/wider more holographic and much darker background and a sense of effortless performance. It’s so obvious. It’s not even in the realm of placebo it’s like a slap in the face. But a good one lol
PenisFly_AhhhhScary t1_iy5khf4 wrote
i’ll definitely do some blind test when I get a new amplifier. My experience is just trying stuff at stores.
CBSU t1_iy6vakt wrote
I blind-tested, to the best of my ability, my Enleum AMP-23R against an Atom amp (made of plastic!) with Hifiman’s Susvara and couldn’t tell a difference. I have mild hearing damage but it shouldn’t be that bad.
Besides the Susvara, I also tried Focal’s Clear and Audeze’s LCD-5. The Clear isn’t said to “scale” particularly well and I’m not familiar enough with LCD-5 to have heard differences there. This was done in my quietest room, which is acoustically treated and quite silent.
That said, I am not a practiced listener by any means and my audio pursuits are based on feelings of “this sounds like live”. I did this test alongside an upgrade-chaser with more discerning ears and we came to the conclusion that it didn’t make an audio difference but they look or feel nice. Our findings weren’t upsetting, I primarily upgrade for aesthetics and wasn’t aware that it was meant to sound better.
Toronto-Will t1_iy5ixo2 wrote
It's not a "take", it's an observation. And it's an observation that goes against the bias that people who've bought expensive amps are inclined towards. Of course we want our expensive new amp to be an upgrade, that's why we bought it, but then you do an AB test with your "inferior" old unit, and what the hell is this, they sound the same? Or maybe like, if you squint really hard and channel every ounce of your attention into the headphones, it's maybe slightly different?
If you go from a $100 headphone to a $500 headphone, the difference is earth shattering, then you go from a $100 amp to a $500 amp, and you're scratching your head and checking the return policy. Or you just shrug and accept it as the price of a nicer volume knob (and the peace of mind that you're not "wasting the potential" of your headphones).
PenisFly_AhhhhScary t1_iy5k3er wrote
I haven’t bought any expensive amps. I’m running zen can right now. I’ve gone out and tried different amps without knowing the price or anything and different amps i’ve tried have sounded different from each other. I get what you are saying about buyers remorse but I try everything out before I buy it. I don’t have any investment into any of the amps i’ve tried so why would I have any buyers remorse and placebo myself into hearing something that’s not there. Literally I would just see a amp, not know what it is, try it out, gather my thoughts on it, and then afterwards find out what it’s worth. I thought nautilus was meh even though it’s a $10,000 amplifier. There is no reason for me to placebo myself when I don’t know what it is in the first place.

You, sir or madam, are what everyone should aspire to become in this hobby. Someone who actually listens to gear instead of reading graphs, or parroting the same narrative without having much experience in said parroted narrative.
My gear isn’t the typical stuff you usually find. I got the Elekit TU-8200 tube amp and the Questyle CAS192D DAC. I also have a Peachtree Audio DAC•iT^x and a myriad of other amps. Why do I have such relatively esoteric gear? Because I listened to a bunch of different crap when I first started. That’s how I knew that DACs do in fact make a difference and how I learned that tube amps aren’t just distortion galore. My favorite solid state amps sounded similar to tube amps so I was like… I’ll just get a tube amp that’s easy to fix!

That is until you buy yourself something like HE6SEv2
KeinLebenKonig t1_iy5ghc6 wrote
Yknow, I actually did just that. I saw them on sale for 69% off and thought to myself "nice". Actually I'd always wanted a pair of og he6's and the idea of owning a pair or something of similar power hungriness in the future was one of the reasons I ended up with a Schiit Jotunheim. Perhaps I don't listen to headphones enough anymore or my music isn't mastered well enough or the Jotunheim isn't good enough, or whichever reason, but I wasn't really that impressed with them over the he400i I've had for years. The he6sev2 is definitely better, but not by enough that I really care. Especially not since my living conditions have changed and I have a pair of Vanatoo T1E's to sing to me at my desk. The he6's are definitely going back since I can't be bothered keeping them in their stock form and even for the discounted price I'm not super interested in having to mod them to not be uncomfortable after long sessions.
LTHardcase t1_iy5zoxr wrote
The person was making a comment about the HE6SEv2's power necessity, which the Jotunheim has more than enough for through the balanced out.
If you went single-ended then that'd be an issue. Not to say you'll like it anyway.
KeinLebenKonig t1_iy63trq wrote
Yeah I realized, I guess I went on a tangent there. The he6 I couldn't take even to half way through the volume pot and I was like "huh. Guess they aren't that power hungry after all" I was pretty underwhelmed by the legendary power draw.... Right up until I plugged my trusty 400i into it without adjusting the volume down. Nearly blew my ears out. It'd been a while since I'd used headphones so I forgot just how little room on the volume pot the 400i had on high gain.
Either way, I did like them, just not enough to keep them through cost and comfort.
LTHardcase t1_iy6ak9k wrote
I blew out two different IEMs at two different periods of time on my Jotunheim, forgetting I had one plugged in and hanging to the floor when I plugged a planar into the balanced out and turned up the dial.
I just stopped using IEMs on it lmao, I'm too irresponsible.
Buggyworm t1_iy7zj5g wrote
As an owner of HE6SEv2 I can say that without EQ this headphone is not worth it. I'd rather listen to Sundara in stock. But with EQ it becomes really good. If you don't want do deal with EQ/physical mods, don't even bother
KeinLebenKonig t1_iy8y9qd wrote
Huh. I hadn't thought about eq, I'm interested to give that a go before I send them back. I'm definitely not up for physical mods but I'd like to hear hese sound their best. What do you do for them eq wise?
Buggyworm t1_iyc490x wrote
Well, you can start from oratory1990 EQ preset. Not my personal favorite, but an improvement for sure, and you can go from there and adjust it as you please. I can give some of mine and the other's people EQ profiles later, you can check them as well.

A cheap 50 dollar amp for my planars is what convinced me to get more into this hobby. I for sure heard a big difference
Then using a 100 usd tube amp changed things dramatically again. It warms up the sound to a huge degree. I bought the biggest tube with the most harmonic distortion on Amazon. It's very pleasant to listen to
Today, I'm going to test the 125 usd Schiit amp with my pure BA iems that i dont necessarily want to sound warm... if I ordered the right cable adapter. Hopefully the pairing is good, I'm expecting big things

XxDankSaucexX t1_iy69kgc wrote
Yeah. Out of all the DACs i own, when i swap between them, i can kinda tell that it's different but not if it is better or worse. However, the e10k has a noticeably higher noise for and lower resolution than other dacs. Not a significant amount but it's still there. I still use it on my desktop setup tho, it was the cheapest thing that i could get that had a line out and headphone out ($35). How you feel on that day probably affects the listening experience more than dac tho.

The Schiit Magni has has plenty of power/current/voltage for 99.9% of the conventional headphones (ie not estat or something with similarly exotic amplification requirements) out there.

Hard Agree!
We've already hit the audibility improvement threshold when it comes to modern DACs and AMPs. And we are wayy past what can be called diminishing returns territory here.
There's nothing that can be further improved in a modern DAC or AMP that can 'sound' good.
I'm just repeating words at this point.
The only way to 'listen' to a DAC/AMP is by using probes.
Don't come at me pointing to a review of a Good DAC or AMP that was done by listening to it.
If you see a review on the Internet that derives its conclusion from listening to a headphone on a DACAMP, it's at best inaccurate and at worst fraudulent and misleading.
We have reached point of diminishing returns but fortunately not audibility threshold limit with headphones. So that's where everybody is pouring their money.
