it could be that your soundcard was to bassy and that the sound you have got used to also the hf could be down to detail - i have never heard cybmals and snare drums sound so clear - counting crows august and everything after an album i know really well sound great and noticed things not picked up on before
You might have a good point there, the level of detail is in a completely different league to my pc's soundcard. I heard lots of little details on American Beauty soundtrack that I have never heard before, sounds fantastic with all those different instruments dancing around your head.
It could just be that my ears need a few more hours to get used to the sound, although I swear that it was initially quiet bright when it was brand new. Sounded better after running the Fubar over night though from brand new. I have around 10-15hrs ish of listening to the Fubar with the rest by leaving it on overnight, probably a good 50hrs ish on the Fubar now. The bass is deffinately there it's just that I expect kick drums for instance to sound slightly more punchy and powerfull, I don't know if this is down to the track,my personal preference or the combination of phones and Fubar.
I am really impressed with the little Fubar so far though, I need some more hours to really find out whats what. I am going to leave it for another month or so and then maybe start playing around with some opamp rolling.
