Pre-order started today. The FR is a thing of beauty, like a HD650 with more extension and no peaks. Basically only requires EQ if you want massive sub bass. https://headphones.com/products/dms-omega-headphones

https://www.instagram.com/p/C4PAACuRzc-/?igsh=amRmbGpwcDl5MDl2 Fiio is about to launch a new dac-amp and they listend to the people. HDMI Arc in with an out for video. Also optical and coaxial also have outputs. And it looks damn good. I can only wonder how powerful the amp section is.

Because variety is the spice of life and Harman isnt an universal cup of tea. Dunu EST 112 very polite https://hbb.squig.link/?share=Bad_Guy_2022_Target,DUNU_EST112 Dunu SA6 MK2 flat "warm" with little to no pina gain and insane treble extension with no peaks...

Thanks to Goldensound for doing work. Quite a shame that such expensive and cool form/factor product underperforms by a quite big margin https://goldensound.audio/2023/11/24/ifi-idsd-diablo-2-measurements/ "Power: This is something I wanted to discuss early in this post as it’s an important...

https://www.schiit.com/products/midgard Well, seems I'm the first here to talk about it. Besides being their cleanest discrete design, Schitt also claims it may/might/maybe reduce the distortion of the headphone driver itself. Only the balanced output has this feature since it requires...

So I got my E70 a few days ago and was noting the audio hiccupping when using the optical input from my tv. I can't blame the source, since my former D30pro never had this issue. While playing the ps5 it increases even more, maybe the higher dynamic range? And yes, I'm using the lastest 1.03...

Topping just released their top of the line headphone amp of the L family and the specs are insanely good: fully balanced, a tad more power than the A90 in all impedances except 16ohms, relay knob. They even got rid of the massive power brick that plagued the L30 and 50. And all that for 350...

Since the Dave is a rather mythical DAC, I guess this deserves its own thread. https://goldensound.audio/2022/03/14/chord-dave-measurements-with-mscaler/ So it is pretty good, but the measurements don't justify the crazy price over SMSL and Topping DACs.

I actually think he is a cool guy and I know he posts here from time to time. Buuuuut the amount of differences he claims to be able to hear from dac to dac is bullshit. So he listens to dacs generating 99,9995% equal signal and yet he perceives differences in soundstage, bass, "tembah"...

So, as far as I understand, 4 wires make the interference more uneven, which helps the balanced circuitry to perceive what is noise and then eliminating it. But what about SE cables like RCA? Does four wires brings any benefit to clean up the signal over two?

As some of you know, non-balanced with amps would suffer from radio interference where I live, what stopped the A50S from being my end game. And I know being super compact is one of the appeals of the A50S, so XLR inputs is not truly viable. Buuuut Khadas came up with a peculiar but very...

Resolution edit: The T2 Plus I was using had some current leakage and antenna effect. The amp itself is flawless. No hiss or hum even max volume with other phones. First it was being over sensitive to radio interference even when I used short, well shielded rca. Now it is giving me electrical...

So anyone here wants a high distortion, low power amp for only 19000 euros? 3x less power than the A50S at 300ohms, but 95x the price, to assure the sound is euphonical enough. https://ultrasone.com/volcano/?lang=en

I'm a bit of linguistic nerd and I have been noting how the the words used in the branding/marketing seem to align way too perfectly with what people claim to hear. The most glaring example is with ESS Sabre line of chips. First the name of the company already has an SS, what invokes an idea...

Since the L30 is pretty much finalized and we already know how it measures, I guess it is time to start a new hype. The A50S will be middle of the line amp that uses the same ultra-clean technology developed for the A90. It will be above the L30 by featuring a 4.4mm balanced out, but the...

I'm seeing on Ali, it seems well buit and it claims to have a class A headphone amp, what would make it a bargain for the price around 250 dollars. They claim the DAC section has been upgraded with some fancy FPGA, femtosecond, etc...
