M^3: What are my options?

[JBLoudG20]

i always liked the M^3.

Ditto. I miss mine so much, I think I might save to build another.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and less time-consuming to just get an EQ?

The little of brightness I mentioned probably caused by some other factors beside the can.

My 0404 is 1 day old, my M^3 is less than 1 week old, and I guess more burn in may help. The cheap IC between my 0404 and M^3.

Quality of the recording, on certain songs, I didn't find it to sound bright at all.

I just started this hobbie less than a year ago and I'm still trying cans from different brand. Of course, I'll get new cans later

Good thinking.

Or better yet, do it on the computer side.

I just bought a used Rockhopper Mini^3 on Head-Fi from a Canadian fellow. It will probably be here by the end of next week. Can't wait to hear how it juices the HD600.

Now, the weakest link in the chain is between laptop and amp. I need to find a good USB DAC that will feed a clean signal into the M^3.

[Cankin]

did you get a M^3 or Mini^3 ?

[Cankin]

don't worry, I saw that thread

it's a beautiful M^3

[GPH]

Oops, I meant M^3.
