    Trying to find the best DAC+Amp combo for the HD800s, under $900. Was originally leaning towards Schiit products, but they don't seem to review well.

    You’re falling for FOMO seriously. Save money and just get a Midgard with either digital EQ or a Lokius and you’ll have infinitely better sonic experience than those two Schiit amps

    Same. Except my streamer is a dedicated Macbook Pro that solely runs Roon Endpoint or Spotify Connect (Windows 10 laptop is my Roon Core), and tubes are my fixed EQ effect boxes/headphone amplifier Can confirm! Heard the HD800 S through the Halo and was very impressed with the sonic...

    Compatibility 16 Ohm Headphone connected to 32 Ohm Headphone Amp

    Should be fine but can potentially cause audible distortion/clipping on loud volumes due to poor damping factor (assuming that 32 ohm is an OTL tube amp) Edit: just saw you added Topping A50III. Zero issues with the Organic whatsoever because the output impedance of it is <0.1 ohms

    Do you invest money in IEM cables for Design and comfort?

    Thanks! It’s a nicely well done ear hooks that uses the ConX connector system that you can swap from MMCX to 2-pin and more. They also fit my ears perfectly like Custom IEMs

    My cable from 6 years ago still looks great and works excellently for my IEM. I like 8 wire configuration since they never tangle :)

    Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

    ^ Sighted bias. Somehow we always fall for it. I have single blind A/Bed my Schiit Yggdrasil MiB (~119 dB SINAD with Ti DAC11001B R2R chip) against JDS Element III (~112 dB SINAD with ESS multibit-delta sigma) on Balanced to ZMF Homage (118 dB SINAD amp) and ZMF Atrium Open. Neither myself and...

    Spyware In Cars - It's Worse Than You Think

    Best No oversampling dac to buy??

    I currently use the second best measuring NOS DAC known to be confirmed by measurements aside from Holo Audio May which is the Schiit Yggdrasil More Is Better where you can completely bypass digital filtering hence it’s NOS and filterless (only analog filtering after conversion) and I seriously...

    Dan Clark E3 Headphone Review

    You're hearing the E3 as intended by its tuning. Comparing Utopia 2022 and E3 normalized at 500 Hz shows this Between 100-120 Hz alone Utopia has significantly more mid to upper bass presence hence you do need to boost that with E3 f you're accustomed to Utopia or even Hifiman's tuning. Add...

    Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

    This is a very unscientific approach, you have to eliminate sources of errors especially Susvara and your Microphone. Eliminate the AHB2 as well so you isolate the variable only to the DAC and your ADC of choice (AP or dScope in particular)
