Talking about ESS and CS dacs - it is very hard for me to hear difference in filters. Talking about AKM - I can hear a slightly noticeable, very subtle difference beetween filters, especially Slow Roll Off and Sharp Roll Off filters, my favourite AKM filter for all AKM dacs (4493, 4497, 4499) is...- Ben86

Focal Clear headphones
I'm looking to replace my old worn out Focal Clear OG pads with Dekoni pads. Which one would be a better choice: "Dekoni Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin" or "Dekoni Custom Stellia" pads? Any advice would be very helpful 👍- Ben86

Burson V7 Classic Pro and V7 Vivid Pro - Hi-Fi audiophile solid-state op-amps
It also depends on music genres that you're listening for the most. For vocal, jazz, blues, symphonic/melodic rock, some old tracks and similar music V7C all the way! But for some agressive modern hard rock/metal, fast pace electronic and similar music V7V will suit better.- Ben86

I'm personally more interested in "Meze 99 series silver plated 4.4 OFC Copper 1.3 m cable" because it is lighter...- Ben86
