Hi y'all.
Well, here I am. A clueless hifi noob who's wading into unknown territory. I listen to (a lot of the same) music like 24/7 and have always chased after higher quality/more pleasing sound. It is only recently, however, that I got a little bit more serious and purchased components for my first (hopefully) audiophile-grade setup. I have a budget dac/amp stack and a pair of 250 ohm headphones with my laptop as a source, and am satisfied with how it's sounding so far (note that I'm not too deep into high quality/lossless streams yet, I only have like 3 FLAC files in foobar and haven't started streaming from something like Tidal yet, and I don't know if I ever will because of the costs involved).
But other than a tiny bit of surface-level knowledge and the setup mentioned above, I have nothing, and thus I don't have anything particularly valuable or interesting to say as of now. I just registered on here mostly so I can ask questions whenever I feel like I need some help, and probably not much else, though only time will tell if and how I'll spend more of my time here as I learn more things. If I do, I hope I'll have a great experience on here and hopefully you'll have positive experiences with me as well.
Roger
