The interesting counter-example here is Muse - Origin of Symmetry XX RemiXX. DR4, but boy sounds good.

So like uhm i have my dt770 pros and i like listening to them , uhm my ape brain is struggling to understand any of the words written in the post 🥹

This is me aaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllll the time. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA GREAT MEME

How does the b2d compare to the hexa when it comes to layering, imaging, and resolution?

Even if I can't hear the difference, disc space isn't that costly anymore... It's like paying for a streaming service which offers FLAC and mp3 streaming, when not concerned by the amount of data, why would I go for the technical less quality one? When the expanse is literally the same, this question is just rhetorical...

The point was about a lot of audiophile mumbo jumbo can be ignored as effectively as fantasy or just absurd nonsense. Which is true, audio is a very complicated mixture of tech for a very basic form of hearing that is easily tricked.

Their dynamic range figures are awful. https://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/188691

So can you elaborate?

So given that you have both the hexa and the b2d how would how does the hexa compare to the b2d when it comes to layering, imaging, and resolution?

Hard Agree!

We've already hit the audibility improvement threshold when it comes to modern DACs and AMPs. And we are wayy past what can be called diminishing returns territory here.

There's nothing that can be further improved in a modern DAC or AMP that can 'sound' good.

I'm just repeating words at this point.

The only way to 'listen' to a DAC/AMP is by using probes.

Don't come at me pointing to a review of a Good DAC or AMP that was done by listening to it.

If you see a review on the Internet that derives its conclusion from listening to a headphone on a DACAMP, it's at best inaccurate and at worst fraudulent and misleading.

We have reached point of diminishing returns but fortunately not audibility threshold limit with headphones. So that's where everybody is pouring their money.

Then please enlighten me

Lol you’re welcome! 😇

Honestly, I don’t think the Elekit struggles with the HE6se. I just can’t say for sure since I have no other reference point. Emotiva has some awesome looking amps spec wise. I mean, 8.5w @ 47ohms????? That’s ridiculous! And it’s cheap lol

You seem to have missed the point

Audiophiles using DSD when Reddit wannabe Audiophile sheeps still arguing MP3 vs FLAC.

Basically nobody can in blind tests assuming the MP3 is of high quality itself

A self proclaimed Audiophile's dictionary of terms can be vast and countless.

If it can't be corroborated by measurements - they're nothing more than numberous mythical Names in Harry Potter that don't exist in real life.

And lastly never forget: Most of these people will give high praise meant for Can A to Can B in a blind listening test.

Sacrifice what quality? Not even discernable if you don't placebo yourself

Probably because part of their enjoyment of the hobby is derived from partaking in the community, and they've been around long enough to see the meta shift from something they had fun with to something less appealing to them.

Come on man, use your imagination a little bit lol.

I have one sides.

Yes, sadly

wanna share some sources? asking for a friend

At first I couldn’t handle the treble as well, but then after I changed to the stock medium black core white tips, and then push them deep into my ears, like as deep as it goes, soundstage suddenly open up, treble is less harsh and bass is fuller as well. Did you try that?

iPods without Rockbox.

Damn, that's like recorded into a dumb phone mic

If you can't hear the difference between an MP3 and a FLAC, you are either hard of hearing or hard of money

Is this meme for me.

Ripped from a live set in 2007/2008 in the worst quality possible, but enjoyed it anyways. Still crying that there never will be a HQ Version
