Floor user is a faggot.

Floor user is such an attention whore that I wouldn't be surprised if your post was him trying to get a response. He will do anything for those (You)s

Idol trash here. I should be sleeping, but... what's your setup like, user?

Don't blame us for your schiit.

you somehow managed to ignore /hpg/ completely as well as multiple other sources showing that schiit is in fact garbage. that's impressive in its own way

just bought headphones from the thrift store

>600 ohms

what kind of amp do i need to power them?

*trash

Attached: UNLIMITED POWER WORKS.jpg (750x410, 75K)

some motherboards claim to be able to power 600ohm headphones
or you could get something like an o2 or magni 3

b-b-but guys, it's the only DAC that changes based on how long it's been on

That has to be worth something, right?

Cancel your order.

Why?

Did you make the decision to buy it based on the audio cult picture you posted there?

Yes.

it's not so bad once preheated

Funny. Okay, do what you want.

Gen z user said Schiit was good too, he wouldn't lie to me would he?

Enjoy your noise floor on a par with a $10 Apple phone dongle's

He doesn't know any better. There are plenty of alternatives you could get in that $250 price range for a DAC, but you seem to have already made up your mind.

but isn't the one user ordered costs $99?

list the alternatives?

oh "shit"(c) it's multibit, yea he done fucked up

I haven't made up my mind, but I have made the purchase already. Anything else? Prime shipped only, preferably.

>Anything else?
cancel it?

I meant what the alternatives.

Topping D50, NFB-11.28
If you have to have something R2R, there's the R2R-11 I guess

you do not need to go above $150 for a dac, get a combo like NFB or just for dac topping d30 if you got amp
seriously DAC is the most overrated piece of hardware, amps is another matter
people that think if you bend optical cable(if you don't know it doesn't, and cable quality doesn't mean a thing for jitter) - sound changes overblow the dacs and get scammed into buying $4000-$25000 paper weights

>audio-gd
Fuck no. They can't even build a proper website.
>D30/D50
Topping D10 looks just as good and doesn't need literal months to ship from CHYNA. Thoughts?

Real poorfag hours

oh right, I forget you americans got it hard with china products
we get NFB in normal stores here without issues, 3 days delivery
D10 is fine too.

I fucked up, bought a bifrost multibit instead of the D10. Fuck.

do i buy a combo dac/amp or separately?

ebay.com/itm/TOPPING-D50-HIFI-Audio-DAC-ES9038Q2M-2-XMOS-XU208-USB-32Bit-768KHz-DSD512DHL-EMS/273213869514
Either. Something like the NFB-11.28 can also be used as a DAC only, if you ever wanted to hook up a tube amp or powered monitors or something.

money and sound wise the same thing
question of convenience, I like combos more
combos also tend to double as pre amps which can be useful if you want to go for another amp or speakers later

Fedex sent my Auteurs to Australia instead of Europe and now I won't be getting them this week

it says 320 kbps, but youtube kills bitrate below 480p, for max audio quality(which is good btw, their EQ sucks though) you need at least 720p video

Any suggestions for wireless earphones with similar audio quality to the OnePlus bullets V2?

Only really intend on using them for cycling and running.

ATH-R70X would be considered an upgrade to an HD 598, yes? I've been using the latter for over 6 years now and want to finally upgrade.

Also, what kind of amp would people suggest for an ATH-R70X? I need a new one of those to, I'm currently using some hitachi piece of shit from the 80's.

what temperature should I put the oven on for warming up my schiit

>Also, what kind of amp would people suggest for an ATH-R70X?
I would say NFB-11.28

why does sbaf hates amir so much?

>Possibly psycho
Hmmm

>ATH-R70X
470 Ohm, what the hell? Yea, NFB11.28 or better for this thing

Anything I can more easily ship to Canada? Shipping fees would rape my ass if I tried to order that I think.

The stax shills talk to themselves.

One cannot defend himself against floor user. He attacks with lightning speed from his position of safety and uses his abilities to crush any attempt at defense.

Quickly he turns the attacker’s charges back on him and the attacker becomes the liar, the troublemaker, the terrorist. Nothing could be more mistaken than to defend oneself.

Hello me meet the real me.

He can invent a new lie every day for the enemy to respond to, and the result is that the enemy spends so much time defending himself that he has no time to do what no headphone user really fears: to attack. The accused has become the accuser, and loudly he shoves the accuser into the dock. So it always was in the past when a person or a movement fought the NHA.

This thread on SBAF is everything wrong with SBAF and none of the positive. It's literally a subjective opinion thread, with the only purpose of basically saying "fuck that one guy for showing a product as better as what WE shill".

>post headphones that you regret buying

they sound really nice but the treble is really painful

>plankton

What the fuck, I thought that was just an exaggeration making fun of these types. They actually use it for real?

>LCD2 (sold)
stax does everything better
>HD600 (a little bit)
sort of unremarkable, kept to justify owning glowy amp
>HD569
Boring, mediocre (good for the price)
>SR-007 (a little bit)
Sounds more 'normal' than lambdas
>HE-400i (sold)
Ear rape treble, bass buzzing
>Elear (sold)
Desperately needs EQ, taught me how to use EQ though. Most of the regret comes from buying them just before the sales started.

A receiver like this works as a cheap replacement for DAC/AMP's right, Jow Forums? I picked one up a similar Pioneer model at a thrift store, but it produces a static white noise hiss type of sound.

what is the "plankton" in sound terms?

It's a meme for them to pat each other on the back with.

Floor user cries as he strikes at you.

Conspiracy theorists like to think he's Amir. Even that old fart that works at Schiit does.

So, which one would you recommend?

Amir's going too far.
He might just 'disappear' if you know what I mean.

Hey Marvey lay off the crack meth and coke

Does the ifi nano dac amp work with android? I read that they jew you into having to buy some software for it and only using their music player.

Attached: 71F5oRidY-L._SX425_.jpg (425x316, 15K)

should work with android using an OTG connector

the nano isnt exactly portable (for phone use at least) since its fat

I don't get enough volume from a usb dac when watching movies on my tablet. I want something with more power.

I only listen to the top 10 charts. Everything else is redundant.

The audiophool hobby is so on the ropes and on life support that people within it create drama all the time now and fight amongst themselves, it all started with the Chinkfiman founder sperging in his own shillthread and now it slowly has engulfed the entire hobby and every forum, Tyll was smart to leave, the audiomeme war will soon begin and there will be no survivors

Thank you

Yes.The smart people stop buying in to the hobby and be done with it.

Tyll left because of health issues

Tinnitus is coming for everyone user.

normal people simply buy "end game" gear and are done with it

Is the oppo ha-1 worth the money ? I can get one for $950 us.

Oh sweetie. Nobody outside of this hobby knows about the headphones you have.
