snake oil gold plated faggotry

009S + 353X + RME ADI 2 DAC

or

009S + D50

Reccomend me speakers, my budget is $30k.

kek

D50 is supposedly a 353x with a dac so you would be saving yourself $1k by just going with the d50

I don't like S T A X but I love your dedication frog poster!

hes right, audio as a hobby is filled with lies and trickery the more interested you are, people calling out bullshit like amir or nwavguy tend to get cast out by the shills

tbf I enjoy music way more now on my audiophool headphones than I ever did on my shitty IEMs or niggabass chinkphones

Has there ever been a bigger retard on /hpg/ than yggdrasil user or whatever the fuck he's called on Reddit?

post setup

Once I receive my new DAC/AMP I'll probably stop with this hobby.
It isn't that fun when you find out something in your audio system is just a bit off.

I think with my -50dB EQ settings + a chink DAC/AMP I'll get a cinematic anime experience
(yes, that's unironically why I'm doing all this).

This poster is not a fren! He is an impersonator, a naughty boy and a miscreant, do not believe his lies!! I would never do that to my poor dad!!!

It's a fake frogstaxanon, pretty sure the real one isn't american, so the use of $ doesn't match.

the guy who bought the $3500 a&k player even though he already had an a&k player and multiple headphones, oh and he also works a low paying government job and is deep in debt

Selling off someone elses stuff isn't hustling though :^).

HD669 + infamous -50dB EQ + No DAC/AMP :^(

I'm looking forward to listening to START : DASH once I receive my chink DAC/AMP.

its ok frog staxposter we know youre chill

lol impersonator frogstaxanon

I knew it couldnt be true. I always knew that frogstaxanon is a man of honor and integrity.

Neat. What chink DAC and AMP did you order?
>HD669
Save up for HD600. Totally worth it. The clarity. Can almost touch umi.

you could sell the figures on top and buy a better DAC

LMAO kind of like how you are afraid of an a/b switch and blind testing?

he also has a mechanical keyboard with """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""artisan"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" keycaps, does anybody have his setup pic

You can literally EQ one dynamic to sound like another.
You can literally EQ a closed headphone into sounding like an open one.

Brother I want to hear Muse in DIVINE QUALITY.

>BRAIN FORCE PLUS
yeah I dont think they're working lol

oh shit i remember this LOL it was less than a week ago

i was wondering why his desk looked so cramped

can't EQ them into taction kannons

Forgot to answer: I bought the NS-10G, hope it serves me well, Z gave it a very positive review.

My greatest fear is clipping at lower volumes.

>rtings

Not afraid, never bothered to AB in a clinical, controlled environment. I prefer to take my time and relax and form my impressions on new gear naturally. That being said I've stated numerous times that I auditioned about half a dozen dacs before deciding. Also I'm not putting a dinky little 3lb box into my system. Pic related, it's my amp, 75lb and almost 4x the cost msrp of yggy

new L300LE or used L700

These are considered artisans in the keycap collecting community.

What makes you think these aren't?

new L300LE unless the L700 is in very good condition, then L700

new L300LE

Why is Umi your best girl?

Tell me more brother.

used amp, sure, but never used headphones imo

>Not afraid, never bothered to AB in a clinical, controlled environment.
kek, afraid.

oh that explains how you ended up buying a $2400 DAC that performs worse than a $100, you casually tested and got hit with the placebo effect of high price hard enough to be impressed

It's probably a good amp, though I reckon he won't notice the difference between that one and a $100 one.

Add hifiman in and it's perfect.

NO. scumbag company that pays for good reviews.

Excuse me while I enjoy muh music :) I don't even think about my dac and haven't in half a year it represents less than 10% of my system cost overall

>it represents less than 10% of my system cost overall
your rig is expensive and subpar.

>add chifiman
fatally wound yourself

Friendly reminder not to buy headphones. What a scam!
Just get a headband, stick two piezoelectric speakers (take the pcspeaker from old computers) and EQ to HD600 (perfection).

okay... jes The stax amp or so expensive.
why stax frog user have to make me do this

its worth it!!! im selling some of my things just to get stax earspeakers quicker

Gonna sell my L700 for HD800

To make clear: I'm not talking about the piezos, due to their technical limitations that won't work.

I'm talking about two different pairs of over ear HEADPHONES.

Yup. Headband + pcspkr FTW

Wow is it the gay retard from discord? lol
I see you settled here after you were banned from every community for being an annoying attention whore
Sad

yea its him, he also posts on sbaf

How is he annoying?

asks for recommendations from /hpg/ but DOES NOT LISTEN TO A WORD OF IT

Would that get him banned in every audio community ever?

he is banned from SBAF.

That's only one ban though.

someone redpill me about the gay retard who is banned from everything

Comes into the HEADPHONE GENERAL to shitpost about his overpriced speaker setup

How low of a price can I get a pair of dt 880s for? They're going $186 on Amazon right now, is that good or does it get lower than that?

hd6xxs are $200 new and hd600s are $180 used, fuck the beyers

Look at HD330s, HD660s or HD662s from Superlux if you are on a tight budget.

also, this

that's it impersonator user, I'm taking the first step and using a tripcode so you can't tarnish my name anymore. GG NOOB
