Its volume was shifting randomly, from low to very high, then back to low. I was almost getting crazy why this was happening, and I tried to fix it by changing the potentiometer, reflowing the capacitors, but no luck. It was gone, now possibly in a recycling area.
With these equipments, I could really feel the difference between the Spotify’s High Quality setting and my Bandcamp purchases, especially with the basses and trebles so I wanted to go fully for the HiFi experience.
At first, I tried Tidal from overseas through my friend, but he couldn’t provide me access, so I got Apple Music instead.
My very first impressions after listening to Tool - 1000 days album from Apple Music with my new headphones was “woah!”. I felt I definitely did the right thing by upgrading.
This is a huge issue, and I had to find solutions for every platform that I use. I tried to use free and open-sourced apps as much as I could, while not utilizing 3rd party player clients.
