But why have all those incredible headphones when the 4s are all you need?
My 4s are incredible I can’t perceive differences of less than 1db change in the *entire* spectrum. Testing eqs, saturation profiles etc is flawless you can literally hear the identity of different components

I was looking at this model last month but the reviews were middling. Leaning towards the Cambridge Audio model which is supposedly less glitchy.

Fiio E10K
Sennheiser HD 558
It's not exactly pro hardware but damn, do I love it.

Looks like a slightly different variant than what I have. The bass switch is vertical instead of horizontal. Did you also have issues with electrical interference when powering it directly from the motherboard headers?

"Headphone Listening
I did not have time to do a listening test through the line out from these two DACs. Instead, I tested them with different headphones direct from their output. In the case of Fiio E10K, I used its front headphone output rather than the rear line out.
Here, the Fiio E10K pulled way ahead. It is able to get at least twice as loud as the ODAC, able to drive even my difficult load of Sennheiser HD650. Its output never gets distorted by the volume control levels out at 70-80% of its maximum setting. Turning it up further seemed to do nothing. At max volume, the output was loud enough but not uncomfortable. In that regard, more power could be had.
In comparison the ODAC was rather anemic. Yes, you could listen to it but just not at loud enough levels.
The winner here is clearly the Fiio E10K."

Could be line noise coming from the outlet. If you run your computer off a UPS battery supply, you may be able to check if this is the case.
Kayden Ramirez
I just got around it by powering it through the 2 port hub on my monitor. It taught me how dirty the power was on most USB ports.
Tyler Green
Not entirely related but it relates to why on-board audio should be avoided because of noise and EM interference from the other processing going on in the system parts. And putting in a dedicated sound card isn't always a solution since noise can be introduced from a power supply or the wall outlet. This is why some audio users use power conditioners or run their devices off a massive battery.

Magni 3 + Modi 3 & DT 1990 Pro, that's it for me, won't ever upgrade, don't see the point.

If you stop trying to force the thread on a daily basis, you might get enough people to start a discussion.
I've never seen a battery-powered device perform quite like a mains-powered one.
The old Asus STX card was already plenty adequate as a DAC even while having to contend with possible hostile RFI. Most consumer-oriented gear lack resilience and robustness in the presence of non-ideal conditions, which I really think puts them at odds with why people really buy DACs in the first place.
I don't think the 4 is that comfortable. I also don't enjoy the Audeze sound too much, though I was impressed by its behavior below 2kHz.

Afraid of buying in to these because the software implementation is often so flaky.
Xavier Hill
just find a used one on craigslist
Juan Jones
Looking at a $20 netgear model but it's 2004.
Owen Diaz
Panasonic RP-HJE125. They're like $5 which is great because I'm drunk like a third of my life and I lose them a lot.
Joshua Miller
if you look up network receiver you can find some low cost receivers with network capability
this one is about $100 used
Christopher Wilson
I'm leaning towards this Pioneer because of the XLR.
Noice.
Camden Gomez
just hook up a balanced dac to any player to get xlr outs
Christopher Nguyen
why always this image???
Carter Morris
Don’t like audeze sound ?! You must be mad! But I respect it. The low end is *absolutely insane*. I prefer single driver speakers for broadband listening, the 4s for clinical stuff. My issue with the high end is that cuz of the lack of roll off it can be very fatiguing

Do these even sound good?
Tyler Price
Just got these cant wait to set them up I fucking love the Adams sound
James Thompson
I mean that I would prefer more boost between 2-10kHz.
The bass and midrange are dead flat and reference, I was surprised even coming from other Audezes and planar headphones. But it takes too much energy out of the lower-mid treble, which makes blending into the top octave less smooth than it could be.
Most headphones are a little rolled off in the top to really be reference level, I think. Somehow, the situation is even worse in IEM land.
Joseph Thompson
Funnily enough I have issues with the low mid range, I think it’s an issue with my ears but it’s easily fixed with other references and RTAs. I don’t think the 4s are rolled off they have crazy responses incredibly flat. I agree they arnt the best for listening but I use hem because they are flat. Regardless, I most certainly am jealous of your collection.
Alexander Williams
Focals sound good yes.
Xavier Bennett
I just pulled the trigger on some Adams instead of focal opal and genelec. I preferred the Adam sound a lot and their 2k brackets are much nicer. If I were to go higher end (5kish) I would love some higher end focals they are nice but at that point it’s like, why not go dynaudio.
Luke Williams
From some of the Axpona reviews, the newer Focals have a bit of roll off in the high end, so the Adams were probably the better choice for best resolution. Focals are pretty though.
Alexander Ramirez
William Phillips
Buy Jbl reeeee

They are so pretty fuck I wish I had a warehouse of interchangeable speakers to a massive monitor controller I would just sit there being an armchair dickhead listening to vinyl and mp3s while complaining about quality loss

>newer Focals have a bit of roll off in the high end
I thought that was pretty common. Specifically, Focal would often run the tweeter a little hot near the crossover. Then they roll off the top octave a bit, a common trait among beryllium tweeters.
Colton Morris
I think the review I read said it was more than they would have liked. Maybe Focal was going for a more polite sound since these speakers are wife-friendly.

Amazing!

"JBL L100 Classics – The other Music Direct booth had these speakerson display. They have a definite old-school sound to them, with a soft punchyness in the bass and a warm midrange. They do spread a wide soundstage though, with a slightly soft image. Good classic rock speakers, which is probably the demo they’re going for."

god damn it
