    JDS Labs ATOM Amp

    Toneboard is a versatile USB DAC, it employs a very high end DAC chip with good quality clock (low jitter), good analog circuitry. It's been measured as one of the cleanest/best DACS regardless of price on a certain forum. Basically it's a little board that has a USB-c connector which you hook...

    JDS Labs ATOM Amp

    I'm a basshead so "better" is a relative term, I tried it with my other headphones that I own and I like it most with the momentum2 overears. They render bass well while it being very meaty, the rest of the spectrum being smooth and detailed enough although for my taste listening mostly to bass...

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

    1. I guess you prefer open back on-ear ones in noisy places 2. No amount of break-in is going to make them more bassy than they already are after about 30 hours of play time on them but thanks for your very insightful tips fam

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

    I still use JVC HA-S500 as my gaming headphones, went through two pairs of these since 2013 while using them at the gym. Easily driven by pretty much any source while pumping out versical bass in Battlefield 5 from a mobo phones out. They're REALLY good value for the ~$40 they cost, while I find...

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

    Well after using them for ~15 hours they broke-in a bit, the bass got slightly better and a bit more prominent in the mix but not enough for my taste. To my ears these headphones manage to resolve a lot of detail while sounding grainy and compressed often which is weird since they can go very...

    LG V30

    I think that the P5 Series 2 + S8 impedance mismatch between the two devices may be causing the cans to act bass-heavy in this combo.

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

    Grabbed a pair of HP50 on Amazon for $125 a few days ago to try out and compare against Sennheiser Momentum 2 Over-Ear which I've been using for about a year now on a regular basis in the gym. My sources are an Apple USB-C 3.5mm dongle and as of late LG V30+. First thing I noticed is the lack of...

    LG V30

    I just received a V30+ which I bought for $145 shipped on fleabay to use as a dedicated DAP at the gym, the only issue the phone has is very mild screen burn-in which I don't care about since I'd never use this as a phone instead of my Pixel 2 XL, LG messed up default Android UI too much for my...

    K702 Rewire

    K702 Rewire

    After owning the K702 for over three month and comparing them a lot side-by-side against K701, I got the urge to mod the K702 to make them sound a bit better.   I saw in a thread how castigar modded his K702 by replacing the 3pin male mini xlr in the phones with a 4pin one, which allows for...

    AKG K702 worth $229 brand new?

    I own the K702 and used K701 for a few weeks too. They're both worth $230 IMHO.
