    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    Hi. Quick question: I've always been an iPhone user with few iterations to Samsung phones. Currently I own a 13 PRO MAX and I'm about to exchange it for a 14 PRO MAX. From a sound point of view, is the Pixel 7 Pro or the S22 or S23 Ultra an improvement? I listen via my Chord Mojo and Focal...

    AirPods Max

    Hello. Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the Sony MDR1AM2/B headphones vs the AirPod Max headphones? I love how crystal clear my MDR1AM2/B sound but if the AirPod Max are better I would buy them. Thanks!

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    Hello. I'm about to buy a Chord Qutest. I have a Chord Mojo, a cheap Schiit Multibit and a Topping E30 and the internal dac (ESS SABRE) that comes with my NAD M10. Though scientists say there's no difference in sound between DAC, I can hear some difference between those DACs, mostly when...

    Audio clicking issue with Samsung s10+ and USB dac/amp

    Yes. I'm actually browsing this forum because I search for pops and clicks + S20 + Chord Mojo. I have a S20 ULTRA and I love the phone but I've been using iPhones before (the last one being a 11 PRO MAX) and somehow I like the sound from my iPhone a little more. So I took my old Chord Mojo...

    Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread

    Hi. I've got a new pair of these headphones because of the accident I had with the first ones. Those first one had almost a year and a half of daily use (30 mins) so I would like to know any advice for a quicker burn in? Is there a video on YouTube, for example, that I can play and leave my...

    Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread

    Thank you very much for all your responses. I never would have known back then when I bought the headphones after hearing others in Best Buy that I was getting such special headphones! I remember that after hearing all the others, when I heard the 1AM2 I knew they were something and bought them...

    Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread

    That's quite impressive I agree. I was looking for "better" headphones than my 1AM2 and really thought I could find those better ones at Sennheiser but no headphone of their have I read it's actually better. Of course, I wonder how good the most expensive HD 800S could sound but it's reassuring...

    Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread

    Thank you very much for your answer. I was a expecting that kind of answer as the 1AM2 are such great headphones. One last question: I've read great reviews about Sony's WH-1000XM3 headphones. I know those are wireless but could it be that they could sound better than the 1AM2 given my listening...

    Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread

    Hello. I used to change headphones twice a year, always looking for the "better sound". Since I bought these headphones I just stopped doing that because I thought they sound perfect for my listening, being all from my iPhone with Spotify at BEST and Tidal at MASTER/HI FI. Unfortunately, last...

    In my case in which I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M9HK243/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to connect my B&O H9 headphones, will it work? I think my headphone cable is just a regular 3.5 male... not balanced...?

    About the dangle, you mean something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M9HK243/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1 ? Excuse my ignorance, but what does "balanced" means here? Thanks!
