No it is not biased to be against something that is going to gouge money out of the world market.  It is on the other hand biased to be for it.  No it definitely requires circuits and I know they are going to use off the shelf dacs so they wont be modified dac chips.  Yes it is inherently...

Well finally watchnerd posted some real info about Benchmark's critique of MQA but others say that the difference is moot.......... but I noticed at the bottom they have applied for the patent and so they are trying to corner the market and make the recording market dependent on them.  This is...

Go read about MQA some when asked about ripping what is the first thing Dr. Stuart talks about.... that pirating has decimated the recording industry and we need a method that "makes music more available".  Translation:  WE NEED TO GET RECORD COMPANIES PAID CAUSE THEY ARE THE SOURCE AND THEY...

Telling the truth is not allowed so deleted

  I disagree so you have these god dac makers and because MQA found a technique of hiding data beneath the noise floor(seems it cant be impossible to figure this out do they hold the patent?) they now have to license these turkeys and increase the cost of their dacs just to service tidal?  and...

Maybe someone can explain what that article doesnt.  I don't see why all the unfolding cant be done on the cpu in software and then passed to the dac if you have a usb class 2 chip and can handle all those sampling rates anyway?  The problem with external dacs was usb class 2 and if the dac then...

  All I know is when I listened(will do more AB comparative later today but its a busy day so this is from disconnected memory) to my iDSD via Bughead Emperor to DSD material I heard way more air.(I know Hugo is more natural but Im in BFE Florida away from any kind of nice electronics store so...

Hugo+DAVE Filter! ^^ OO

Not trying to crap on the m9xx and I havent heard it either and I cant find boardshots of it(ok there are boardshots of the m920 and none of them are very clear).  Fastest way I can think to test them would be to buy the headphones and check for distortion.  Get 2 of the same track one in flac...

I think the tuning really more refers to an arrangement of objective filters and blocks within the operation block diagram of the FPGA and their arrangement, speed(hz, datarate), bandwidth, bits etc etc. There was a question earlier sitting on this thread this morning, and as I thought to...

  Which tuning were you listening to did you even check?  I dont see how an off the shelf dac can ever approach the detail of the warmest tuning aka the Mojo tuning(makes me question your hearing and discernment)(I am glad tho they went in a lush route and less sterile and less fast decay)...

This thread is hilarious.  There is now a changing of the guard with Chord.  You have the old dac crowd frustrated with what Chord has achieved and has all the proper arguments and logic to go with it that just shuts all counterargument down(this means its over).  I too run into this situation...

The T90s are nowhere near as sharp as the DT1350s nor are they the same bass bombs the DT1350s can be if you press the cups onto your ears for a seal or try different pads.  The T90s are aggressive and extremely detailed.  Their downfall is they are unforgiving.  You have to run high source...

Wow I just got my Mojo(I like the spanish pronunciation, definitely not a cha ord moyo(some people have no taste)) and everything I could think of as an advancement or next feature after studying this tech they had already finished and now the product is launching.  More in custom circuit fpga...

Wow been away from iems since the Monster Turbine Coppers(the very beginning of the explosion before all the super high ends became popular)  recently got a mojo.  I KNOW cables do matter I noticed this tingo the entire wire seems to actually be silver plated(if the plating is real I buy my own...

Was he hurting for money, maybe loans were calling not reaching expectations...? Seems like the brand was doing well..... not sure it was smart to sell controlling stake at this point in time when this brand is poised to blow up...............?  Sorry but I'm not going to sugarcoat my...

lying is not rekt. saying im falling back on gridlocked arguments when it was actually you is just generation y trash logic and y your generation will be mocked for the rest of history.

I think you have it backwards I think people fall back on gridlocked debates in order to be difficult when they lose another argument like is the magni/modi combo better than the M8. also calm down there japheel and learn internet memes.

lol now your clinging to a typo also the audio-gd are dac amp combos hence me thinking of the audio-gd product page and typing amp but yes I should have referred to the dac half still not totally inaccurate as the burson conductor I'm still suprised the M8 beats is a dac amp combo

We are of diametrically opposed camps; you are now taking what I have termed the "Church of Digital Infallibility Computer Weenie TinFoil Stuck Rutting Mainstream Cult", and I ascribe to what my ears hear which is the final say of everything and anything else is nonsense.  I didn't base my...

SMSL M8 is supposed to blow the modi(modi is cheaper but supposedly inferior about to pull trigger on M8 so I havent heard either) and nfb-15 out of the water for cheaper on MassDrop.  The O2 needs to be upgraded to match the dac but its all he has for now.......

Yeah I just found out about this from the current MassDrop first time I seen on Slickdeals(search reveals this is first time recognized by SD) I really need to dig into this forum, andrx741 this thread is kind of comical you should study audio connector standards and given the quality of this...

Excuse me, another massdrop, so I just found out about this, and will likely be buying, but skimming through the thread I see some of you have been reading foriegn threads on this dac. If you would be so kind, could you please post links to these threads?.... as there are very few threads about...

Id rather use high content silver solder and a high grade possibly even acidic flux like ruby fluid.  What I mean is procedure and geometry plus stress relief steps/order of operations for this weird connector.  Soldering steps wouldnt hurt either no so much the soldering itself but orientation...

Anyone ever figure out these whackjob connectors?  I bought a bunch of these awhile back because they were the cheapest recommended 3.5mm jack, but time to use one to make up and lod unscrew it, and What, never seen anything like this.  I was wondering too about the huge hole and lack of stress...
