Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
I’m looking for headphones for my Switch and PS5. I know the Switch has Bluetooth lag so prefer a set that is low latency or supports a wired input. Sound quality is very important to me and I don’t have a price budget. I’m think I prefer earbuds for the Switch and full size headphones for the...- rage3324

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
I got the Airpods Pro (never owned airpods prior to this) and I was immediately impressed by the ease of set up and use. Very impressive. The build quality is great except for the tips. I find the tips to feel a little cheap and a little tough to get off (I feel like I am going to rip them)...- rage3324

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
I expect some surprise and disappointment as far as sound quality goes, however, it is the ease of use and integration that will win me over. I have Sony WH-1000XM2 for plane rides so the Airpods will be for on the move music listening, phone calls, etc. I also constantly switch between devices...- rage3324

What is the consensus on the new MW07 lineup? I have been holding out on Wireless headphones (mostly because I do not want to purchase airpods) and so far nothing has fit the bill (cough Sony call quality issues)- rage3324

Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming
I will give it a try as well. I am not expecting to hear that much difference in my Volvo XC90 w/ Bowers & Wilkins via Carplay. I will give it a more deep test on my home equipment. I am rooting for Tidal but it is always nice to save money.- rage3324

Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming
What is the consensus so far of Tidal vs Amazon HD? I mostly use Tidal for music at home and while driving via android auto/car play for lossless music in my car. It works really well. It sounds Amazon is worth a try, but I believe I saw something about its streaming algorithm needs work in the...- rage3324

Mac OS X Music Players - alternatives to iTunes
Great info. Plex just released Plexamp (a winamp inspired player). Curious to see how this performs. https://medium.com/plexlabs/introducing-plexamp-9493a658847a https://www.plex.tv/blog/plex-labs/- rage3324

Mac OS X Music Players - alternatives to iTunes
What's the word on Plex for Mac? It appears to be to Direct Playing but tough to tell if it is manipulating the signal at all. As a Mac, Plex and Tidal user. What is my best player option? I know Roon is the answer but that is too much $$$$$$$- rage3324

DACs that are on the same level as the Dacmini CX
I currently only use my Dacmini CX as a dac, so I've decided to go down the road of selling the Dacmini and acquiring a dedicated DAC that is equal or better in performance. I would love some recommendations.- rage3324

Chromecast audio - can anyone comment on sound quality?
Right. Any idea why I can still control the volume via plex on my phone? Is plex acting as a pre-amp somehow? Plex says it is doing direct play- rage3324

Chromecast audio - can anyone comment on sound quality?
When hooking up the chromecast via optical to a DAC, I don't see the dynamic compression setting anymore. Is that normal? Is there anyway to confirm that audio is not being resampled? Currently I am using plex on my iphone to cast flac audio, but oddly, I can still control the volume from my...- rage3324

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
Turns out my dad had a 2230, had to snag it. I'm with you regarding headphone pairings with the 22x0 series. I want to say the 2220/2230 prefers high impedance headphones but i'm not positive. My HD800 sound great. My DT770 600 ohms sound okay. I have not tried any of my Grados yet but plan...- rage3324
