first for beyers

beyers are specifically designed so that nazi marching songs sound perfect. anything other than horst wessel lied on beyers will rape your ears with treble.

how much ? and were you gonna build something around it ?

im already cading up a board based around using 2 as a differential output

>why the fuck arent /hpg/ talking about this this thing ??? THE KORG NUTUBE ???
the majority of here have tunnel vision and are too afraid to experiment with their purchases even if it's only $100. that being said you are a giant fag the nuhybrid is nothing new

I'm building a battery powered nuhybrid

K702 or K7xx?

Beyerdynamic Electrostats hmmmm

what i just saw a review of the cayin N8 that uses it ... its only been out for a few months

youtube.com/watch?v=1sypGvHbWww

thats what i want to do. Hook it up to my AK4497 Zishan DSD and have the cayin n8 at a fraction of the price.

Sorry Guys Im just Excited.

Buy m50x back when they were the hottest meme.
Plug them into USB interface aaand INSTANT REGRET. They sound like a wet fart.
Years later, get a headphone amp with significantly lower output impedance and suddenly quite happy with my shitty cans.
Holy shit you guys.

>its only been out for a few months
you can build one for $100. it's the basically o2 of tube amps.

k7xx but only downside is that its made in china i think. its basically the Q701 with a different headband and earpad.

what's a good alternative to the he-500?

If I wanted to have both my turntable and computer output to my headphones at the same time, what would I need? It seems like most amplifiers only have one input.

considering they fall apart I would say anything that can survive normal operation for longer than a month

all akg headphones are made in china now

really, even the k712 pro? what the fuck?

What would you fags recommend to a fag that has $300 to blow?

that's badass. if you want to be a little adventurous you could solder a bluetooth adapter straight to the rca jack + battery. also a little window with some plexiglass glued on so you can see the glow

lol nostaxer

What does that mean?

>also a little window with some plexiglass glued on so you can see the glow
actually it doesn't even need to be a window you can just print the sides of the case and then use plexiglass + screws for the front/back

> cutting edge micro tube technology
> bluetooth adapter

no, just no user also @ 2v grid voltage there is no glow but im sure you can shove a RGB up its ass

Means he's a fag. Mind this is HEADHONES general, not earspeakers general, not there-is-only-1-headphone general.

Fucking staxers.

you are a literal retard. the nuhybrid is already high distortion so bluetooth doesn't matter for shit. also you drive the nuhybrid with the battery voltage rail not the signal you feed it FUCK

when are you going to fall for the ZMF woodcup meme

how were the stax?

I already have 2 custom cups from martin audio fag

Uniornically the best headphones. Better than LCD 3’s and chinkfiman. Not as good as hd800 and 800s

you really did fall for every meme. I'm sorry user but you might have autism

>that white ath m50 headband

jesus christ burn that shit

How do you feel about your hd600's? One moment they're praised, the other moment people say they're shit.

Ultimately my standards are all that matter to me. You guys are my personal recommendation crew, nothing more so don't it get it twisted

Pretty good, haven’t snapped or anything. SQ is very dependent on source material. If you like anime idol shit this isn’t for you. All the chinky voices sound crackled

holy fuck idoltrash on suicide watch

>If you like anime idol shit this isn’t for you
YIKES. what's your recommendation for idol shit?

Apple airpods since only fags like anime and apple products

>not good for anime shit

This ain’t Jow Forums anymore buddy. You can go back to /a/ if you want your fag neighborhood.

I went to akiba 4 years ago and tried all stax products. Used audio shops had good deals on them on mint condition but I would rather spend 6k on speakers

Can't wait to get my atom this week to use with my HD600s

The case will be wood, I do plan on including a window and perhaps a khadas tone board or gutted topping d10 inside as a DAC, I'll need a 24V to 5V converter. I read online that buck/boost ones do the trick but I'm not sure about how well it works for audio applications (noise levels and all that).

where in my post did I shit on tubes user

anime is normie and reddit as fuck now sweetie

Attached: 1404622645775.jpg (500x667, 100K)

Same but click chan.
I hope amp+DAC isn't a meme and I'll hear some difference.

They seem to measure fairly well

>"I hope I didn't get memed," says man memed into buying audio gear

checked increasingly nervous man

>I read online that buck/boost ones do the trick but I'm not sure about how well it works for audio applications (noise levels and all that)
it's just a voltage rail it's not a signal, you can just add some capacitors

u rite, time to ask floor user what autistic audiophile caps he uses

No nigger I did that for my boombox and has too much noise

completely different things you fuck face kys
>autistic audiophile caps
gay

worth it to replace essence stx with dac+amp combo for around 200-300$?

Uwu senpai pls no h8 I just wanted your (you)

Last chance to talk me out of getting a Lake People G103

How to I hook up my atom to my pc

using your semen

What does it take?
Just get a DAC that does optical to whatever the Atom takes.
I assume your bucket has an optical out.

No U!

why are you spoonfeeding? are you that much of a cuck?

>spoonfeeding
Was I? I feel like my reply required the fag to find out what goes into an Atom and I didn't tell him what DAC to get.
Also there's a good chance he's on a amcbook, so he can forget about optical.

How much are you paying

use the 3.5mm output on the back then connect it into the green input on your motherboard friend :)

300 Euro

No not for 200 new.

I use a cheap PCM2704 DAC, am I going to notice a difference if i upgraded to a 200USD + dac with a better chip or is it a meme?

Anything in the sub 100 range you fellas would recommend to go with my fiio e10 dac?
