Anyone?

FiiO E10K - DAC and Amplifier, very low noise floor, 96Khz/24Bit, no drivers needed, bass EQ switch which should bring out the low frequency sounds in gaming very well, sleek, compact desktop design, and the best part is it's at $75 right now...

I recently got a job so I can now buy decent equipment, however I have a budget of under $400 combined My musical preferences can be summarized as metlacore, and the following songs should give a clear idea of what I'm interested in   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMz7qOWxWm4 - Generic...

That's a good point, since everyone hears things differently and prefer certain sound signatures and such

Yeah let's not haha But out of all those he compared the Abyss to, it seems the LCD-2 and TH900 had the closest sound quality, and they weren't off by far, but I don't think these minor differences account for such a hefty price difference. But, learning this now, if I had the kind of money to...

No I'm just making an analogy, since USB is digital, and the quality of 0s and 1s doesn't change, but people who spend hundreds on a USB cable claim it has improvement to SQ, which is placebo because of the price.

Thanks for the link! Reading through it right now, but people go crazy over fancy USB cables which is ridiculous, and obviously placebo, but I will read through this before I say anything else haha

Are you sure none of it is placebo? And I will definitely look around for some good comparisons, preferably those with other good components in the setup to maximize its potential.

I see how the development and design is very intriguing, and SQ is outstanding, but I still don't see how it is set apart from other high-end cans?   EDIT: I'll look for a comparison review because that might help

What makes it so special? 660 grams though, wow.

Very helpful thank you! A lot to sift through however 

Explained better than me haha Sometimes I feel a little "closed in" with these due to the recessed mids, but I can highly suggest them for your taste and budget. And they do have an overall "fun" sound that I always enjoy listening to with music that better suits them.

Which of these would you consider to have the most advanced technology inside them?
