    What was your best (and worst) audio purchase for the dollar?

    Well it does, but the point is that it isn’t just a DAC and I do make use of its other functions ;)

    What was your best (and worst) audio purchase for the dollar?

    because I use an audio interface instead of a pure DAC :p

    ifi hip dac review (DAC & Headphone Amp)

    well yeah but it’s not like the Topping is a slouch in that department. 52 mW @ 300 ohms is perfectly respectable imho.

    ifi hip dac review (DAC & Headphone Amp)

    just a quick glance and I’m already asking: “why tf would I ever get this over a Topping NX4 DSD?”

    JDS Atom Amp+ Review (Headphone Amplifier)

    I think so? also for the more technically minded I don’t think you even need that number, high gain is 9dB aka x3 and the specs basically tell you max output level is 13V peak so 9Vrms, divide by 3 and you get input as 3Vrms

    JDS Atom Amp+ Review (Headphone Amplifier)

    for me I had no problem reading the specs to know that you basically need 3V in to get max power (input sensitivity spec points that out I think) so I have no idea wtf you’re even on about. the only thing they could’ve done better IMO would’ve been to add an additional note at the bottom for...

    Extreme Snake Oil

    actually what happens when shaped charges don't strike tanks? I actually am genuinely curious, lol what I do know about shaped charges mostly comes from when they actually strike tanks at the right angle (fusing is extremely important and must balance between speed and safety, the distance the...

    JDS Atom Amp+ Review (Headphone Amplifier)

    I mean I don’t think anyone really needs the full 800 mW @ 300 ohms of power, and I think chasing maximum power that you will never really use is pointless and dumb, so…

    JDS Atom Amp+ Review (Headphone Amplifier)

    ok, so take another great desktop amp and connect L30 to its headphone out if you really want that extra power (you really don’t, 2V into L30 can already go really loud?).

    Did You Buy Based On Amir's Review?

    Yes. L30, DX3 Pro V1, NX4 DSD, also soon-to-be-arriving MOTU M4. very happy with the first 3 and I expect to be satisfied with the M4.

    JDS Atom Amp+ Review (Headphone Amplifier)

    tbh i wouldn’t say 3V is unattainable, i can effectively get those results by connecting L30 to my NX4 DSD’s headphone out on high gain

    JDS Atom Amp+ Review (Headphone Amplifier)

    I have a feeling John takes issue with the other things you said about the company, not that it is Chinese. also i’m quite sure its based in Guangzhou, not Shanghai.

    Both DAC are transparent as measures by Amir, why one not as clean sounding as the other?

    also i wouldn't worry if i were you, X16 is a good piece of kit based on the measurements. just enjoy whatever you already have.

    Both DAC are transparent as measures by Amir, why one not as clean sounding as the other?

    from what i have seen others say on this site, if there are audible differences between DACs it is usually fairly subtle. may also have something to do with the filter settings but don't quote me on that. i'm not a believer of "i can hear it but i can't measure it", that just promotes magical...

    Topping L30 Headphone Amplifier Review

    uh huh. interestingly, in these sorts of reviews, 99% of the time its more expensive = better. funny how that works.

    Topping L30 Headphone Amplifier Review

    i also like knowing that when something does not sound good, I can safely say any fault with my system is out of the question and I can rightfully throw out bad source material and find better music or get better headphones.

    Topping L30 Headphone Amplifier Review

    My question is why are you expecting the amplifier to be anything other than wire with gain? IMO if it changes the sound it is a fail. And yes the FR measurements of the Audezes I have seen indicate that they don’t sound good out of the box and generally have a sucked out 2-5 kHz region If I...

    Topping L30 Headphone Amplifier Review

    full potential is nonsense, if its loud enough its loud enough. i'm not interested in going deaf prematurely. edit: pretty sure Audeze planars have weird af frequency response, a number of them I recall have a sucked out 2-5 kHz region. that alone would explain why they sound dead to you. like...
