    HD800s Powered by Apple M1 MBP...What am I losing by not using a more powerful amp?

    I've been experimenting with my DX3 Pro + and my Apple M1 14" MBP. I've used a decibel meter to attempt to match volume. I can't really hear a difference. Am I losing detail or something by using the computer only?

    Recommendation for IEM Under $200 with good Isolation?

    I am looking for an IEM with good isolation that I can use for listening to EDM music and for editing audio. They will plug directly into my computer or phone. I used to have the SE535 LTDs which I liked I also liked the SE846. How are the new Chinese IEMs. It seems like the whole landscape...

    Best headphones for passive noise canceling?

    There is also the DT250 which already come with the better ear pads, although I've read that the 770 Pro isolates more.

    Best headphones for passive noise canceling?

    I was looking at the DT150 last night and it seems like the channel imbalance is common for that model. I love the way it looks though.

    Best headphones for passive noise canceling?

    Who makes the best passive noise canceling headphones? I've had all of the major active noise canceling headphones and I don't find them to be comfortable for very long. I am wondering if there are good passive option. Over ear is preferred but in ear would be fine too if they are easy to put...

    Topping G5 Review (Portable DAC & HP Amp)

    For an HD800s would this be just as good as a Topping L30II E30II stack? It costs just as much but has a smaller foot print and battery.

    Best Build Quality? Topping vs SMSL vs FiiO vs Sabaj?

    These look great. Which model do you have. I am tempted by the A10d.

    Best Build Quality? Topping vs SMSL vs FiiO vs Sabaj?

    I can tell you care about this a lot. What you are saying is that if my poll was about which Chinese manufacturer offered the best build quality I should list ALL Chinese Hi-Fi manufacturers? How many would that be? I picked the four I see most commonly discussed on this forum. The last thing I...

    Can you direct me to the forum rules? I don't see them as prominently displayed as on other forums.

    Best Build Quality? Topping vs SMSL vs FiiO vs Sabaj?

    It is natural to group things and it is useful in titles. I am not a mind reader and neither are you. You tell me you are offended by that portmanteau and I believe you. I will tell you that it was not my intention to be offensive in anyway and I trust in good faith that you will believe that...

    I don't see a way to edit my original post. Admins: If I broke the rules do what you need to do.

    Best Build Quality? Topping vs SMSL vs FiiO vs Sabaj?

    That is ridiculous. It's a great portmanteau like "Japanimation" and there is nothing derogatory about it. Are we allowed to say "Chinese Hi-Fi"?

    Topping A90 Discrete Review (Headphone Amp & Preamp)

    I don't have the HD800S yet. Should be coming tomorrow. I bought the Topping L30II but I am not sure I am going to keep it because it sounds like they don't last. I am also not really sure if I should buy separates or an all in one

    Would there be any reason to get this if I am using an HD800S?

    Best Build Quality? Topping vs SMSL vs FiiO vs Sabaj?

    How do you know it is a lower-sales-volume product? Especially in the affordable range they are in.

    What compromises? Are you saying separates will sound better?
