Different drivers do different things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doesnt prove anything. Literally.

if this is true then it is rather likely that the study you linked is also false

>Doesnt

Pretty much, it's just anti-objective posters who think science is bad.

>if this is true then it is rather likely that the study you linked is also false
that would make it true again
>a study isn't proof of anything
now you're starting to get it! let's talk about how harman themselves fail to replicate their studies much less third parties

(((science)))

My current motherboard manufactured in late 2014. Any ideas if my onboard audio amp/dac is good still or will it make a difference to use an external dac/amp combo for both low impedance (32ohms) and high impedance (300ohms).

no it wouldn't

Based

Finally something other than that trash!

but user, now you have to prove my study wrong. that's how it works here right? you present studies as the de facto objective truth and expect us to prove them wrong. well now it's my turn, prove my study wrong :^)

Buy headphone, plug it in, is the sound loud enough? You're good.

Not loud enough? Buy Atom amp.

Onboard sound is transparent.

But how do I know if my onboard isn't distorting the headphones FR since its made way back?

>Onboard sound is transparent.
Not always in some pairings because of output impedance. But very unlikely to affect the typical midfi recommendations from here or a Stax that comes with its own amp.
It's common for PC headphone output to be around 10 ohm, which is enough to affect the sound of things like a HD 598. It will not affect a HD600 or DT880 though.

you failed basic logic classes didn't you.
>if this is true
yes, if it is HYPOTHETICALLY true, then the study is indeed the truth. there can not be a case in this hypothetical scenario where it is both the truth but also false as it has already been established as the truth.

wrong again

Also fouind out my motherboard has an output impedance of 2 Ohms, a Schiit magni has 95% less
Realtek ALC885/889/892 - 2 Ohms
FiiO E10: 0.5 Ohms
O2: 0.5 Ohms
Schiit Magni: 0.1 Ohms ----

the study says the majority of studies and research are false, not all. if you admit it is the truth then there is no contradiction here. this is my last reply to bait

>their
Hahahahaha I think you mean theyre

>I think you mean theyre
user, I..... is this bait? or are you really that stupid?

Yo could correlate the two. Paychology amd thus econmics are soft sciences anyway.

a contradiction is created when you assume the study is true, though, because by being true it proves itself false. if the study was always false then it never said anything about other studies to begin with.

>because by being true it proves itself false
no, it does not. I said I wouldn't reply but I can't help it this time and it takes little effort
>Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
most =/= all

>Also fouind out my motherboard has an output impedance of 2 Ohms, a Schiit magni has 95% less
>Realtek ALC885/889/892 - 2 Ohms
Ackshully, you can't judge that stuff from just the chipset. Implementation across motherboards isn't consistent, you can only judge a specific motherboard, not a general realtek chipset. Heck, there's a difference in impedance between front panel and back jacks too.

could it be that in your hubris you cannot admit you could be wrong?

sure, I could be wrong.

If the study is true then it is in the minority of true studies.

more specifically as per the study you linked you are most likely wrong, and certainly more wrong than me. thank you for clarifying.

this is false, just like most studies (including that study)

I wouldn't be surprised if the study was indeed false and you were right. skepticism is an important part of science :^)

What did he do to trigger the nostaxers?

It was a joke, yeah.

If you don't hear it, it's fine. Noise and distortion are quite audible anyway.
This guy gets it.
2ohm impedance doesn't affect anything, even the most sensitive IEMs. Schiit is obsolete, if you want an amp, get the Atom.

Under the PRESUMTION that the study is true. Then it has to be true. We are assuming something here. There is no contradiction in making that assumption.
If true then not false is a tautology.

>But how do I know if my onboard isn't distorting the headphones FR since its made way back?
an oscilliscope is the only way to know for sure

angry reminder to boost your bass at 65hz, faggot.

if we assume it is true then it is almost certainly false. if we assume it is false then nothing further can be derived. therefore it is false.

Th-thanks Jamal.

Btw are you coming over to fuck my wife later?

I'll be listening to weeb music on my STAX.

You're a brainlet.

Reminder a chink DAC measures better than literally every other DAC in existence.

No need. I dont have HD600s or Stax.

I really hope this isn't bait and you really are this stupid. most does not mean all.

no i'm just bored and it's fun to bait people

DACs dont do anything.

yes
then im going to use your stax for a while and make you watch, bitch

false, and doesn't mean a damn if they shit it up elsewhere.
Had a FiiO once
colored the absolute shit out of my sound and killed my soundstage.

You are deaf.

basically you're saying you have nothing worthwhile to add and you just enjoy shitting up the already high signal to noise ratio /hpg/ with even more noise

And you posted the XR. Imagine the SR.

ComfyGrados, now that was a good shitposter.

I wish I had links to the research being done on how to alleviate IEM pain. insertion causes too tight of an atmospheric pressure chamber which can lead to damaging of the eardrum or fatigue. the solution was A FUCKING INFLATABLE BALLOON

Where do I fall on the audiophool spectrum?

If you're happy, that's all that matters, I guess.

>ask for actual advice
>Just gets stuck on stax

where?

I have old headphones, I can hear static noise when play nothing on my PC and it increases when I increase the volume of my windows. But with these new different headphones I don't hear any of the sort.
Does that mean my old headphones was just shitty?

no, your new headphones are higher impedance and less reactive to noise floors

No, it means your old headphones were more sensitive.

When you bought your shit you proobably got told it was all good purcahses but you kind of got fucked like I did with my 6600k. I bought it in like october, a couple months later the 7xxx series came out, then not even a year later core counts doubled. Basically I bought at a bad time.
modi gen 2 even is horrible. I have a magni 3 and while it has a ton of power there is audible distortion. You can check by setting your listening volume then playing silence. It dpeneds where the volume knob is at for me.
se215 is total shit now with all this chifi for $99. Very bad. Also faked an insane amount, don't be shocked if you got a fake even buying shipped and fulfilled by amazon.
the sonys suck, takstar pro 82 is better.
JDS atom for $99 plugged into your mobo, tin t2 iems(like $40), and takstar pro 82($60 i think, maybe less) would be an upgrade for all that shit.
If you enjoy it just keep it though who cares, just saying it seems like you bought right before budget iems and DAC/amps got way fucking better.

does jds atom have more power than the magni 3?

>with all this chifi
pfaaaahahahhh
iem in general are trash and the chinkfi didn't make it better
KSC75 are still the budget-fi king and IEMs are.. okay if you just want isolation and shit sound while feeling underwater and blow from eardrum pressure and random mid treble ringing
