    Dan Clark Stealth Review (State of the Art Headphone)

    Not every device has access to EQ. LCD-X is not built to be comfortable to wear. LCD-X can't fold away. Your personal needs and requirements are not the center of the world. Also you can now grab a Noire X for close to the LCD-X price and mostly retain the qualities of the Stealth ( some...

    JDS Labs Element IV DAC & HP Amp with EQ Review

    What? You can absolutely import several presets and switch on the fly. I'm doing it... right now? It saves those presets, and they are accessible to each machine. It functions exactly as switching on the RME does. You minimize the features the RME lacks, but that has over the Element (at...

    JDS Labs Element IV DAC & HP Amp with EQ Review

    It’s less limiting than an rme. It has a full 10 band peq and substantially more power. The use case is simple Power audio devices. You may feel satisfied with what you already have. That’s great. No need to be a consumer whore and buy new things just because they are new. But being able to...

    JDS Labs Element IV DAC & HP Amp with EQ Review

    I can't think of anything close to this price range that competes, I'm not sure what we are discussing price at. Unless your only goal is great audio, there are of course cheaper options. But the highly configurable built in PEQ is incredibly valuable. It is more functional, with higher power...

    Dan Clark Stealth Review (State of the Art Headphone)

    The E3 has a better clamp IMO but you can contact DCA to get a better clamp / adjustment for the Stealth.

    WiiM Amp Streaming Amplifier Review

    I bought this, and a pair of Revel M16 (used for 200 each) for near field desktop 2.1 setup (with an older SVS sealed sub) and it is sublime. Connected to my LG oled as a monitor it seamlessly switches between audio sources (Console, PC, Macbook). Nicely executed app with good configuration...

    Topping A70 Pro HP & Preamp Review

    Rewatching your video I think it is your headphones. The meter is still moving on the amp as if it's sending the signal. From my experience any interruptions in the audio are visible on the meter. I would have to guess you are putting too much power into those headphones from the headphones...

    Topping A70 Pro HP & Preamp Review

    I can't stress, at -15db how clear I can hear the music with it sitting a few feet away. I realize this isn't the most accurate measruemnt but I used the Niosh spl meter and measure the sound and it was 110db baseline. On a positive note it sounded absolutely clear with no distortion that I...

    Topping A70 Pro HP & Preamp Review

    I think anything under a minute at that volume will cause permanent hearing damage. Obviously different setups, different headphones. I've got a topping d70 octa, and a70 pro. With my 'hard to drive' expanse turned to -15 it basically sounds like speakers just sitting at my desk. I would be...

    Dan Clark E3 Headphone Review

    What music are you listening to? I also think everything is relative.

    DCA E3 AMP Recommendations

    element 3 works great. I don’t know that you will hear a difference but it will look better and have perfect channel balance. Boosted version will have a bit extra power as well. New magni also works great as an all in one solution.

    JDS Atom Amp 2 Headphone Amplifier Review

    Element 3 Mk2 now has a boost version that does almost the same power as the atom 2 (2.3 vs 2.6).

    Dan Clark E3 Headphone Review

    It is the same type as Expanse / Stealth. I don't know that I would just consider it glue, but some form of adhesive(that can be reused a few times). Others can chime in but I have heard that developing a proper working pad to headphone connection while maintaing a seal is not simple, and...

    Dan Clark E3 Headphone Review

    You pointed out an answer to a question I did not have. I did not ask if it had AMTS. I was asking if it had the protective 3d printed insert. That prevented pad wear. You guys have a choice when answering questions. you can choose to do it rudely, or at least just answer the question...

    Dan Clark E3 Headphone Review

    I’m asking because I don’t see any indication on the site specifying that information.

    Dan Clark E3 Headphone Review

    Does the e3 come with the 3D printed insert like the stealth and expanse?

    Dan Clark E3 Headphone Review

    ADI-2 was good enough for the Stealth and this requires even less power. It is plenty powerful.

    Dan Clark Expanse Headphone Review

    Also factor in fit for end game material. Stealth and likely expanse are close and sound great but the actual design and feeling of wearing the hd800 series is on a level above all headphones in my experience. With the stealth I have to keep adjusting it as it slides around… ears touching the...
