What do you think of the AKM VERITA AK4490 DAC chip?
For what it’s worth not sure if this thread is still alive, but I believe the Questyle CMA400i is using the 4490 dac chip as well.. From all the great things I’ve heard I found one for a pretty good deal. Depending on the sound I think this might become my new reference. What do you guys...- Blackground

I like your set up! I have also been working off of a studio cart for the last year. So much simpler when you can rack everything.. I will have to post some pictures when I get them edited :beerchug:- Blackground

Earbuds Round-Up
Anyone here still using TY Hi Z 650 earbuds? Pulled mine out to start using again and was curious if there are any new competitors around? Nothing wrong with them per se, quite enjoyable when amped properly. Its probably worth noting I already own an og monk, custom zen 2 and stardust or...- Blackground

I have seen that around but never considered it. I like that it's balanced! Do you have one on hand?- Blackground

The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)
I am interested in these balanced R70x cables you speak of. Can you share a link, of offer any impressions? I have to agree, but a new cable especially balanced is not a bad upgrade to make :k701smile:- Blackground

Earbuds Round-Up
Sorry, let me rephrase.. If the HP-650 was a full size headphone it would have more low end than the HD-600.- Blackground

Earbuds Round-Up
I personally haven't heard the Sennheiser HD-650, but owned the HD-600's and would say they are more less very similar in signature with maybe a tad more low end on the HP-650 (than HD-600). If the HD-650 sounds like the 600 with more bass, then yes I would say that is pretty accurate reference.- Blackground

Earbuds Round-Up
HP-650 is a good all arounder, I have using them daily at work (idsd micro bl) for the last few months. I will say compared to other TOTL they sound a tad thin in the mid range, but have a nice balance id say from top to bottom. This is my happy medium between Shozy BK and Zen 2.0. Just bear in...- Blackground

Earbuds Round-Up
Does anyone own or has heard the Astrotec Collection model? I really want to get a Mojito but am very hesitant given the qc. Are their any Mojito alternatives? I am seeking an earbud with a neutral signature that extends both ways (ie sub bass and expansive sound stage) but is balanced and has...- Blackground

Earbuds Round-Up
It was! but.. the memory of it was soooo annoying lol Honestly I re-cabled them because I dropped my dap with them plugged in and bent the 2.5mm connector :expressionless: I will say they sound a touch brighter, but hard to say. I will have to do some more listening tonight! Dangg.. I...- Blackground
