Since Innerfidelity apparently made the Logitech 6000 their favorite closed headphone in Passive mode, I did a direct comparison to the v-moda M80. The M80 absolutely kills the 6000 in Passive mode. The M80 has a soft treble and the 6000 sounds like a blanket is over the speakers. The M80 has a neutral bass with a strong bottom end, and the 6000 is boomy beyond belief.
I'm really curious about this. You both seem to like it, one is passive and one in active. It's a real shame that they changed the signature so much in the different modes. Perhaps trying to appeal to a bigger audience. From what you say I'm surprised that Tyll liked them in passive mode, you both mention defective units so I have to wonder if the QA / reliability of the signature / quality is actually just all over the place.dalethorn said:
I wonder that myself. But since my two samples, the first defective in passive mode only, and the second one working 100 percent - the Active mode signature is completely identical for both sets, so I would guess the passive mode is probably consistent with what Tyll is hearing.
And you know, when your hearing gets adjusted to something that is way skewed, you have to get readjusted to proper fidelity before you can make judgements, which is why I always compare to my known references.

Hi there
First of all thanks a lot for the thread, which I am finding very useful. So here it goes: I am looking for a new smartphone (my first one actually) and given that the only thing I would use it for except for calling and receiving calls is as a music player and recorder (either with with a dedicated external mic or with its own), I would find it useful for it to have a very good DAC.
I understand that the Galaxy S and S 3 have the Wolfson. Unfortunately it is difficult to uderstand the DACs used by other phone since it is often not specified. I would tend to prefer a non-Apple product because I do not like iTunes that much.
My only further need is that the phone be small. The S3 is really out of proportions for me.
Any advice?
Thanks
Luca
