    Starting to question everything I thought I believed about DACs

    One thing I will stand behind is my ability to hear audio artifacts being generated via Bluetooth SBC.

    Starting to question everything I thought I believed about DACs

    I don't have anything close in quality to the HEK in your signature (unless we're both willing to sprinkle a lot of magic pixie dust on my SASH Tres) but I feel like my current stable of headphones has so much diversity in sound signatures that at least one of them would have picked up an...

    What constitutes "cheap" in this context?

    Monoprice Monolith AMT Headphones

    The price swings on these things (on amazon.ca) are insane. They literally double - and then halve - in price from month to month.

    Need Help Setting Up a Multi-Amp/DAC Switching System for Headphone Testing

    I'm not 100% clear on whether you're looking for a digital signal switcher (pre-DAC), analog switcher (post-DAC) or both. Amazon sells USB-C switchers, so that may solve that problem. For analog switching, multi-pole rotary barrel switches are the way I'd personally go. A 4P4T switch for...

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Finally got around to giving Alex Lifeson's solo album a spin, and it's a pretty interesting creative exploration. From absolutely savage metal tracks to funk-infused rock to an impressive 2:30 wailing guitar solo that harkens back to the great works of Joe Satriani.

    Replace my Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7b with ...

    I've had my MSR7b for over a year now, and I think it's time to admit the relationship probably isn't working out. They are my only closed-back, and while I think it makes sense to have at least one closed-back in the collection, I honestly hardly ever reach for these. There's just something...

    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    SASH Tres 45ohm. Gotta love those creamy vocals.

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    First time I read this, I thought you were saying it's a good idea to remove them from your head before cleaning...

    I feel like I got screwed by Head-Fi

    I spent a while banging my head off this and have to admit I'm stumped. Paint Protection Film something? Something to do with Picofarads?
