Question about one part of the video, Cameron mentions something about this DAC which has a spatial effect enhancement feature. He says that usual metrics don't showcase the difference in sound (SINAD); but couldn't this just be explained by the FR output of the DAC? He showcases a spectrogram...

I'd honestly just go with anything from the RME ADI-2 line and call it a day. It has all the features you'd need (crossfeed included), with exceptional support. Topping and Schiit are fine for what they are, but have had their fair share of issues when it comes to support. Haven't seen much on...

Apart from sound quality, I'm not really leaning towards either of these because of the build quality of Skull Candy headphones. I could be wrong and these might be the exception though. The Crusher ANC 2 has lost of bass but I know that's not what I'm after because of the severe midrange dip...

That's pretty interesting to know. I've also heard that the amount of excursion the driver experiences lends to the effect, so the biodynamic stuff that Fiio does now with the FT1 might be another one for me to consider.

Will have to give these a try then, the treble peak does throw me off slightly but hopefully it's just a random resonance on the measurement rig. Overall though I think it might fit the profile I'm looking for.

It definitely does depend, but this time I'm hoping to get something that inherently fits the sound profile I'm looking for instead of only relying on EQ. Not that I have anything against EQ, but the interaction between games and Equalizer APO is sometimes buggy and frustrating. I normally use...

I know I'm talking about something very subjective here, with different meanings to different people, but what are some headphones that have a lot of "slam"? Slam to me is the essence of punchy hard hitting drums or percussion in general, not necessarily even being bassy. I know a lot of Focal...

Thanks for the info everyone, looks like I might go ahead and take a look at it, if not outright buy it when I get the opportunity. Luckily I'll be able to see it in person, so no issues here for the most part (will need due diligence on my part to make sure it's working an all, however)

I found an RME ADI-2 DAC FS for sale locally, and I was wondering if there were any known issues with it since I obviously wouldn't have warranty on it. I saw a few posts about units shorting via USB, but they were from a few years ago and I'm not sure if its an ongoing issue. Curious to see if...
