So, I’m newer to the hifi journey. And I listen to all sorts of music.

I got the JDS El DAC and the el amp. I can actually hear the music. It’s great. Well I was listening to Alec Benjamin song “if I killed someone for you” and I keep hearing this buzzing with the guitar/distortion in the instruments. It was driving me crazy. And I thought, oh no, my DAC/amp isn’t working! So I plugged in the the topping nx4 dsd. Turns out it’s the recording..... :facepalm:

Sometimes ignorance is bliss sometimes. I think the song is catchy and interesting... but I can’t listen to it with quality gear lol

Just through it was a funny thing to happen to me. Share your stories if you have any.

Some recordings withstand critical listening, some don't.

The Autotune on that song kills it for me.

That probably cuts a pretty wide swath of general rejection...

Here, cleanse your palate...
