    Topping Dx3 Pro+

    Doesn't the setup process require you to hold a button while while connecting the power adapter? Or rotate the volume down a few spins while in standby to do a factory reset. These things are from memory, so I might be off.

    Topping DX3 Pro+ Review (DAC & Headphone Amp)

    I just got one of these. I like it! Previously owned the original V1 DX3 and then a D50S + Atom combo for years. Single unit simplifies a lot and the digital volume control is aces. Not happy about the modern trend of not auto-switching output based on headphone jack detection. I tried the...

    JDS Labs Atom DAC+ Review

    I'm still patiently waiting for a version of the Element with digital volume control. Channel imbalance isn't a thing I can deal with at any price.

    The treble on the Sennheiser HD660 S is just .... wrong

    I just keep going to my 6XX headphones despite hearing so many others. They're just plain excellent at any price.

    Good open-back ~$200-ish headphone?

    I recently re-bought the HD599 and I just love them. The (overly, to some) warm midbass is exactly what I like about it. They really shine on wimpy sources like a DualShock 4 output where a 6XX is pretty quiet at max volume. This new 560S seems like a real winner if it fixes the midbass hump...

    Just imagine what your radio will sound like when it finds out that it's actually a toaster!

    Upgrade D30+Atom to E30+L30?

    D50s + Atom here. I would only change it out if there was, say, A Topping DX4 Pro all-in-one with digital volume control. Otherwise the Atom is all a person needs for normal use. Perfect channel balance is the thing I chase, personally.

    I could live with Bose speakers

    Lexus tends to use Mark Levinson in their cars, and the systems sound amazing. Source: me.

    Are a dac and an headphone amplifier really worth it vs my phone ?

    Your HD650s at 100mw will blow your damn mind. :cool:

    The most comfortable headphones: a) Open b) Closed

    Open with velvet pads (Sennheiser) is by far the best for comfort. I've been through thousands of dollars of headphones and that's what I'm sticking with. If it ain't comfortable, you won't use them, no matter how great they sound.

    Is the hype around SVS subwoofers justified?

    SB2000 x2 owner here. First subs I've ever owned that did everything right and nothing wrong. That's saying something.

    Ultimate woofer

    If they had used a dryer, they’d have a sweet 220V input!

    The most overrated and underrated headphone you tried?

    I recently tried the Sennheiser HD599. Totally underrated! It seems like no one talks about them, even if they are new-ish in the grand scheme of things. When I get my pair at a discounted $169 CAD (happens a few times a year on Amazon), I'll be replacing my HD6XX with them. They sound great...

    Is the end of an analogue volume knob always perfectly channel balanced?

    If volume control attenuates the volume, then does cranking it to 100% provide perfect channel balance?

    Beyerdynamic T1 Black Ed.(v2) or Focal Elex?

    How's the driver matching on the Focals, generally? I get nervous about that sort of that. If I knew it was good, I'd totally be up for an Elex at least.
