I'm Jack. I'm interested in good sound. I have a Masters in Math. I'm working on becoming a certified teacher. That's about it I guess.
- Interests
- Math, science, reading, music, movies, TV, guitar, weight-lifting, anime and manga, teaching.
- Headphone Inventory

--Sennheiser HD560s

--Sony MDR-1A (Sold on here)
--Mr. Speakers Alpha Dogs (had on-loan for half a year)
--Puro Sound Labs IEM500 (underrated and great value, but had flimsy cables and broke)
--Shure SE215 IEM's (sold on here)
--Trinity Delta IEM's (I accidentally left them on a train, ugh)
Wishlist for Future:
--Linsoul Salnotes Zero as cheap throwaways
--Blon BL03, CCA C10, Moondrop SSP, Zero Audio Carbo Tenore ZH-DX200-CT, or Final Audio E2000 for workouts
--***RME ADI-2 DAC FS*** DAC/AMP (not a headphone, but I use this list to keep track of what I want as upgrades someday, and I want the ADI-2's parametric EQ feature) with iPurifier
--HiFiMan HE400se
--HiFiMan Sundara
--Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro with Dekoni Elite Velour Pads
--Focal Clear Mg (Pro?), or Senn HD800s or 8xx, or HiFiMan Arya or Ananda, Ether 2 or something else by Dan Clark, or DT1990 Pro with Dekoni Elite Velour Pads, or something from ZMF, or Aurorus Borealis
--Moondrop Blessing 2 (Dusk?) or S8 or A8 or ThieAudio Monarch or Clairvoyance or 7Hz Timeless

- Headphone Amp Inventory
- --Fiio K5 Pro DAC/Amp
--The amp in the Hiby R3
Wishlist:
--***RME ADI-2 DAC FS*** (just another reminder for myself, heh)
- Source Inventory
- --Hiby R3
--Fiio K5 Pro DAC/Amp
--My HP Omen 15 laptop
Formerly:
Questyle QP1R (Sold on here)
Fiio X3 2nd Generation (Sold on here)
- Cable Inventory
- Nothing special, as the HD560s and FH3's already come with pretty great cables, and I don't need any special fancy USB cables for DAC's as basic as the K3 and BTR5
- Power-Related Components
- Wishlist:
--iPurifier for USB
- Other Audio Equipment
- iFi iEMatch; I use it to get rid of the background hiss/crackle and reduce the output-impedance from my laptop's onboard headphone-jack. I would just use my Hiby R3 as a USB DAC with my laptop, but unfortunately it has something like 0.2 seconds latency (no matter what settings I use) that makes movies and shows unwatchable using the R3.
- Audio-Related Tweaks
- I like using the Hiby R3's equalizer to turn my headphones and my IEM's more neutral when I feel like it. I like to turn on Fidelizer in Windows 10 as it seems to reduce the frequency of drop-outs.
- Music Preferences
- Classic Rock, old-school and contemporary Blues, some noir-style Jazz, Some Classical (partial to Beethoven), some Folk, some modern Goth-Rock, some Metal, a bit of old-school Rap, plenty of modern Rap (especially partial to British Rap), a bit of funk jazz, lots of soundtracks (especially anime), and a mixed bag of lots of other stuff.
- Gender
- Male
- Occupation
- In-home tutor for various subjects, substitute teacher, teacher-in-training
