Of course you would, he doesn't have half a mind to look up the same shitpost images you use every time, you absolutely abhorrent poster.

You people hate everything. You hate sennheiser, stax, schiit, audezee, fostex, topping etc. what the hell do you even use as a gear at that point?

you have the wrong user the one you mean to talk shit to is a known frog poster as you might tell.

mx50 and fiio e10k of course!

they're all senncels, who cares

Nope sorry no fiio or akg allowed either. Every audio brand is dogshit

If it in your budget and can drive your headphones then they are fine.
I am also advice guy.

Attached: mpv-shot0005.png (1920x1080, 2.3M)

No don’t buy chink anything.

Buy o2 dac amp instead

Dont buy JDS Labs it's shit

Buy Schiit they are the best

If schiit is over priced american made trash then o2 is.

for under 100 Ohm, yes.

O2 is chad.

Don’t buy Schiit it’s shit.

Buy benchmark they are the best

No? Most people don't know what they are. They might think they are too big. But who gives a fuck about that nonsense. Just don't play them loud because the can hear your anime music and that would be bad.

>kinda like the hd800
if by kinda you mean a similar sound but with better bass extension, more linear FR with non sucked out upper midrange, treble that is more detailed while also being less fatiguing then sure. kinda like the hd800 yeah

>be american
>get schiited

>be australian
>pay more to get schiited

Attached: schitted.png (1216x703, 307K)

Yea. Topping shills are beta chink dick suckers

Schiit users are blacked.com premium subscribers xD

I have hd600 but now that I'm upgrading I want to get rid of them to pretend I never went through a sennheiser phase. luckily never got memed into schiit though.

the o2 amp is so great, the creator of it got banned from head-fi, the home of schiit

it's not a great idea to travel frequently with nicer headphones, they're more delicate and all the movement and bumping of travel and taking on off/getting taken around with you or left in a hot car will eventually do them in. but if you can accept them breaking randomly at some point you're fine.

Hmmm

A solid state amp is a solid state amp is a solid state amp is a solid state amp. B-but better isolation and jap caps.

Attached: 1489942664214.png (370x320, 42K)

the point of diminishing returns is subjective, you could easily say $20 since you can get fine earbuds for $20 but going $20-40 isn't the same as going from $0-20.
personally I'd say big diminishing returns roughly start:
~$500 for headphones
~$200 for amp
~$100 for dac

the point of no returns is easier to pinpoint:
~$2000 for headphones
~$1000 for amp
~$250 for dac

guess these tiny fat hands

Headphones should be 300-500.

headcase also chased out nwavguy

what did he do?

i feel like picking up a o2 now

problem is you start to get picky after a while sitting on $300 headphones and want more, even slight improvement seems huge, this hobby is a swamp it never lets go

he gave an opinion piece, headcase admins + users didn't like him being an authority without their say and they proceeded to antagonize him. told him he wasn't "in" like being friend status on SBAF

head-case.org/forums/topic/9473-fiio-e7-dac-held-captive-tortured/?page=5&tab=comments#comment-447442

he would argue with people very aggressively that they were buying snake oil and that the high end stuff they were buying did nothing, he wanted to blind a/b test components and of course everybody refused and was furious at him for suggesting their golden ears didn't do the job. he's an actual autist.

he literally designed the o2 to spite audiophiles and never made any money from his great design

what a god

>very aggresively
not "very" aggressively, just not spineless and letting people throw opinions around without merit. he was expected to play along with the post modernist view that all opinions are of equal value. he didn't play along and he got dragged through the mud for it

is this revisionist history? he was always very aggressive. I don't mind personally but he was abrasive as fuck to most.

youre supposed to be abrasive to people who continually buy snake oil and expecting validation for it

didn't he simply talk math? how else would you talk facts? facts always come out as "abrasive"

feel free to cite examples. from what I've seen he was only abrasive to butthurt faggots who tried to antagonize him

thats the uncomfortable feeling I get from all those audio forums, that they're basically willing to believe the magic trick is real and when somebody calls them stupid for spending money on nothing or that the industry is filled with lies they're cast out. we even have a guy here who literally bought a benchmark lol

while you are on AMP topic, what AMP to get under $250 that isn't o2?
