AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE
TBH, I'm not loving the -17dB cliff from 4-6kHz. :anguished: How this actually ends up sounding will be very interesting. :nerd: But the price is definitely right! :thumbsup: Can't wait to give these another try at the next SoCal CanJam. :L3000:- XERO1

HiFi Rose RD160
This DAC looks quite unique! It looks like it's going to have some kind of translucent display. There isn't any info about it yet, but it will debut at the High-End Munich show on May 9th. Definitely a DAC to keep your eye on! https://www.monoandstereo.com/hifirose-rd160-dac/- XERO1

Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S
Hopefully these don't have the same weird triangular plastic protrusions that the HD 560S have inside their earcups. My ears would always press right against them whenever I put them on. :confounded: If they do, that will be an insta-dealbreaker for me. :sweat_smile:- XERO1

MSB DAC owners
I've always admired MSB's amazing levels of sound and build quality. And for quite a while, they were the only game in town if you wanted a high-end R2R DAC. But fortunately for the rest of us 'commoners' (JK), less expensive, but still great-sounding R2R DACs have made a big comeback in the...- XERO1

Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)
Just saw this little tidbit at WHAT-HIFI in an article about the upcoming new releases that will debut at High-End Munich 2024. Sennheiser The German headphone brand will be launching "a new addition to its audiophile profile" – that could mean anything, but we have our fingers crossed for a...- XERO1

LAiV Harmony R2R DAC Impression and Reviews
I think LAiV have hit a sweet spot with the Harmony. It's a well-built discrete, R2R DAC with excellent SQ. It's compact and also has a built-in power supply (I'm looking at you, Wandla), and it has a large easy-to-read display with lots of useful info. Yes, it's relatively expensive, but I...- XERO1

LAiV Harmony R2R DAC Impression and Reviews
Hahaha!! :sweat_smile: You are not alone in not being able to understand a single word the reviewer wrote! Srajan Ebaen is notorious for using the most inscrutable purple-prose in his reviews, making them nearly indecipherable to even the most well-read native English speaker! And Google...- XERO1

Flagship 10 Knowles BA FA19 Is Officially Released
All non-vented IEMs are a total no-go for me because of my sensitivity to inner-ear pressure, which is why the FA19 is on my very short list of all-BA IEMs that I want to audition at the next SoCal CanJam. :ksc75smile: -
NITSCH x Schiit Pietus Maximus Release/Impressions Thread
I have almost always preferred the SQ of the high gain setting on all of the Schiit amps I've owned, with the only exception being the Mjolnir 3. Low gain on Schiit amps has always made the amp sound like it lacked drive and dynamics to me. On the MJ3, the sonic difference between high and low...- XERO1

The discovery thread!
Hey, Jude's in da house!! :ksc75smile: Honestly, just based on the length of his post about the FA19 (plus he included two graphs), I think it's pretty safe to say that Jude reeeeeally likes 'em!! :beerchug: Can't wait to hear them for myself.- XERO1

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Based on the 16.5kHz ceiling (not counting the spurious harmonics), 100% that track was at some point converted to a lossy format, and then reconverted back to PCM. :confounded:- XERO1
