LMAO! I buy what I like. I never let some dude I've never met with some outdated testing equipment tell me what to buy or what to listen. I am happy If it sounds good and I enjoy it. I finished high school long ago and so many others in this forum. I am no idiot following a false messiah that...

AUDIOQUEST PEARL is the one i use with my R2R-11. No complains and better than the blue cable that it came with...

They go by measures. I am sorry, but I think its crazy. its like buying a car based on just written factory specs. I know I wouldn't buy a car unless I test drive it or at least watch or read a review of somebody who really drove it. Here is a link to an informative video that anyone interested...

Add me to the private conversation, please. I'd love to learn more about my R2R-11

I don't have the MD airist r2r dac, but I have the LCX paired with the Audio GD R2R-11 as a Dac at this moment. The Audio GD R2R-11 is good as a stand alone DAC/AMP/PreAmp, but its amp output is too round, dark, and sometimes its bass its too pronounced(I like its bass punch, but not on every...

I've had my Sundaras for almost 3 months and no sound quality or built problems. So far the best sounding headphone I have or had. I have 7 hps right now including the Senn HD800s and HD6xx, E-MU Teaks, Fostex Thx00 Ebonies and they aren't getting any listening time. All I can say I am very...

I dont think MD will ever do it again. They intended to sell 960, 300 is too little to make a profit each time.

Same thing with me. Ordered, returned, and sold a lot of expensive gear looking for that special tone that would make me want to listen. Some DAC/Amps Combos or seperate units where either too warm or distorted in some tracks. I like many music genres from Classical instrumental, Jazz, to Heavy...

Thanks for link! Why is the pure white so expensive? I think I will go for the Asura Omega, I like the detachable cable option. I agree with you the Monks are good.

Which earbuds? I am looking for earbuds myself. I bought 1More triple driver, sound is ok, but they broke within a month.

Right, I meant not same cost as a Fulla 2 + HD6XX, but what I wanted to say that usually "better performance" come with a cost.

For ex. what I now listen more often: Magni 3 + Modi 2 Multibit and Hifiman Sundara. I still have my Fulla 2 and HD6XX, they are a fine pair for me and the HD6XX sounds even better with the Schiit Stack(Magni 3 and Mimby) and I will never part with my Fulla 2, its a great little device.

Well, the fulla 2 and the HD6XX aren't exactly entry level, but there is definitely better gear with better features that come on pair with the cost.

Yes, thats very unfortunate that Airist or maybe I should say that "someone" in Airist was really dishonest to present the idea as his/her own. However, I feel that Massdrop shouldn't support plagiarism and stop it at all cost, but MD seems to continue regardless and that to my eyes makes MD a...

Very well said. There are too many reviewers everywhere nowadays (youtube, reddit, facebook, etc), the competition is tough and the ones that get well paid know it so they try to please, not the reader, but the sponsor which is the one that matters to them. Opinions dont make a living, a good ad...
