Headphones or Speakers that sound real?
One of the streaming services (Qobuz, I think) is beginning to offer high quality 3D files which I'm told give a more realistic concert rendition. Hardware-wise, you'd probably need to go for monitor speakers that will give you what's on the recording without colouration. I've binned headphones...- wingtsun

Loki Mini Impressions
I'd go for a Loki. Why? You can up the bass incrementally and you can also up (or down) 3 other channels to perfect the sound you like.- wingtsun

Agreed. I use it to add a bit of color to my Genelec 8010A monitor speakers. Works a treat.- wingtsun

Ethan Winer's Null Tester - Do Different Cables Pass Audio Differently?
It's a long debated subject and probably boring for many but his tests were interesting. Personally, I have loved trying cables but over the years have learnt that I like a good copper cable, well made but not exotic. The equipment I use would never warrant thousand dollar cables anyways. Good... -

Who Here Is Still Using HeadRoom Amps/DACs?
Mine are still going strong and have sold many more recent amps in favour of the HeadRoom Ultra Micro Amp/DAC stack. Admittedly, I don't carry these around with me unless I go travelling for a while but I still love the sound, especially now paired with a Schiit Loki.- wingtsun

Do You Listen To The Music Or Analyse The Music?
