I'm in my 40s, and I got curious how my hearing was these days. I can't hear the mosquito tone anymore (17+kHz), and I can't hear below -70db, according to https://www.audiocheck.net. I can hear a 14khz tone, but not pass the 14kHz low-pass filter test. So, CD resolution is definitely good...

I was looking at some headphone measurements [1] done by a reddit user, using very high end equipment. He even rated them based on Harman target curves. One of the best measuring headphone was the NAD HP50 [2], which is $150 new on Amazon. Yes, those were designed by ex-Harman people, but what...

I was reading another thread today, and saw this description about another reader’s DAC: “[it] gave a detailed, clean and pleasant sound” What is this? A DAC is transparent or it is not. If one wants to break it down further, maybe there are: - no measurable distortion: transparent -...
