Reply to comment by cohrt in Thank you IEM for giving me back the passion of listen music by Elpedro30
I've mainly just printed little decorations lol. I'm also building some 3d printed headphones and I'm currently printing shelf/desk hangers for my headphones
I do plan to print some stuff like screw trays and tool storage for my printer and such though. Also gonna try printing some shelf brackets.

That essentially just distorts the signal out of each driver to achieve artificial cross feed.
good in, good out. I've honestly never heard of anyone putting fx on their master signal until joining this group. if the track is mixed and mastered properly and your gear works as it should, it shouldn't need bandaged.
This is also why all of the best music is at least mastered on monitors. Headphones are great, but you will always get better sound from monitors.

Thanks! yeah, he liked it. Was sleeping when I got up there. Picked a book he probably likes, and set everything up. When I left he got a coffee and was setting up for a listening session. Hope he enjoys it, he seemed happy with it tho :)

Don’t get Moon Audio confused with Sim Audios Moon line; the latter actually worth the investment (probably)

Most of the people I let listen to my headphones. (For example hd 650 and mdr cd900st). Tell me that they don't hear a difference with their own headphone, two of them use hyperX other one turtlebeach.
I honestly just gave up on letting people peak into my interests

>While Xbox 360 games, limited by it's 6+gb DVD space, are standardised at max quality 640kbps Dolby Digital 5.1, PlayStation 3 supports the same format and also, thanks to it's roomy blu-ray, 5.1 lossless PCM, 7.1 lossless PCM, plus fan-favourite DTS.
AND NOBODY CARED, halo still sounded great, heck, as the years went by and people got on fiber and fast USB drive support got added to the 360, more people probably cared about the 360 being stuck on 100mbps(12.5mb/s) Ethernet vs the 1gbps ps3 when downloading a bunch of gameswithgold at oce

Reply to comment by hurtyewh in What does a high end DAC really offer? by hurtyewh
I agree. Even $75 DAC from FiiO or iBasso is good enough and you don't need anything more.
I was answering the, "What does it offer?" In general, higher quality DACs offer extremely low distortion even at low digital volume levels while cheaper DACs measure very well at 0dBFS, but degrade at -30 or -40 dBFS.

I haven't heard them and that's a bit much for a blind buy, but I'm getting an LCD-5 soon which is close to that price range. My expectation is that a $100 Topping E30 does essentially everything worthwhile soundwise, but I'm interested in being sure. Some Chord stuff in the thousands of dollars I like less than some cheap stuff as well. We'll see if I find any motivation to get the DAC. Seems not for now.

Proud Dad moment: caught my teenage daughter sitting on the couch listening to The Who, Who's Next on my Maggie-based sound system. And no, she wasn't on her phone or reading a book. Just enjoying the music!

Reply to Brief impressions of the ZMF HD800 Suede Pads by Kryceck
Zach himself measured the pads and showed them to have significant differences in bass, midrange, and treble. Probably best for any prospective buyers to use those measurements to guide any purchase decisions.

Bragging rights to other head-fi’ers? I’ve heard the Holo stuff and heard nothing to challenge my assumption that it’s a enormous waste of money for anyone who doesn’t thow around thousands of USD casually.

Wow that's a nice price, you probably would want one with better connectivity because judging by a youtube review the topping dx3 pro plus and dx5 sound the same, it's the placebo effect I guess for high end dacs. 1000 actually gets you closer to high end headphones like Susvara, wouldn't you want rather to invest in those.... Don't say you have them already🤣😉
Good luck

Well DAC chips yes, but those can of course be implemented very poorly or very well. A good $50 dongle DAC seems indistinguishable from the cheap Toppings etc which measure far better than most TOTL DACs and the JDS Element.
