    Announcing the Audeze LCD-GX, the First Audiophile Gaming Headphone

    While I like the sound signature of the LCD-2 (fazor version), the thing is way to heavy for gaming. I had mine for 3 years and still cant use it past 45 minutes. (old headband). I own currently a HD600, a HD800, a LCD-2 and an iSine10. I use the HD800 or the iSine for gaming. The HD600 for out...

    Concerning Schiitr I like the Granpa Style interior. Best of Luck, too bad I live on the other half of the planet (sideways, not hemisphereways).

    accuracy is subjective

    1. Thats my point (the contradiction). 2.I am talking about graphs and how they correlate to subjective opinion. Most people cant make the connection. 3.Its still additional costs. Not everyone has disposable income to spend on whatever they want. 4.Of course it is subjective, but I have to...

    Understanding the approach in Sound Science vs the rest of Head-Fi

    This site is sponsored by HP companies after all... Subjective opinions are important when you are running a restaurant, but even then 1 sample is not important or relevant. So yes, if 95% of the people that bought a HP are happy with it it might be worth looking into it, but there is always...

    accuracy is subjective

    I agree that accuracy is subjective when we put in a subjective listener (human). Thats why you cant use accuracy "by ear", but need to use devices that wont change their mind based on the mood they are in or if they had their morning coffee or not.   The important point why sound science is...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I cant help but smile when I see such a smart use of the Obsolete word. Thats the same everyone tells me when I beat them at a strategy game with my "obsolete" Strategies/Tactics.   Always makes me smile a little.

    Headphone comparison: Sennheiser HD 600, HD 700, HD 800, HD 25-1, and the Amperior; Audio-Technica ATH-M50s; Audez'e LCD-2 rev.2 and the LCD-3

    I Have two sets of speakers (Z-5500 Logitech for my PC, Focal chorus 714 for projector home theater in living room). As much as I like the LCD-2 for gaming, the weight limits the amount of time I can use them, thus the speakers and a HD600.   However, for realism, the LCD-2 is really...

    Headphone comparison: Sennheiser HD 600, HD 700, HD 800, HD 25-1, and the Amperior; Audio-Technica ATH-M50s; Audez'e LCD-2 rev.2 and the LCD-3

    So I eventually ended up with the LCD-2 Fazor.   Currently I own HD600 (for very long gaming sessions if not using speakers, most at night time), the LCD 2 (My favorite HP over all, when possible I use this one) and a HE-400 that I barely use anymore (its going up for sale).   I did test the...

    Playing Darkest Dungeon. Interesting game. Hard to express why its fun, but Its one of those games you can play while eating and still be effective. I like the art style, the audio, the 1 frame animation format and surely the dungeon crawling style (Its grinding as well but so far I find it...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Good point. If I remember correctly Jason also mentioned that some of their products keep selling very well while others not so much. It could actually be an interesting exercise to see what products are selling the most and why, then see if it fits with the data that you could get from putting...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I have mixed feelings about Jasons last post. Calling market research "guesswork" is very strange if I consider I have called the demise of the last 15 big over hyped products in the world for a few solid years (one example was google glass when I first saw it, I said it would never hit the...

    iPhone 7 Will Revolutionize Portable Audio for the First Time in a Decade

    I was reading all this debate about the lightning connector and if it has a dac or not and so on and in the back of my head I was thinking "Either we are overpaying for Dacs and Amps for our headphones or this is supposed to sound real bad. Its either one or the other"   I dont see how someone...

    I wont touch DS2 for a while most likely. Its feels crappy in many ways (the hit boxes of the enemies are definitely a problem). Mostly started Dragons Dogma and now practicing back in Broodwar so DS2 will have to wait.

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    Crap, Another headphone jack malfunction (first was in E17, tried to fix it and broke it :D). Not sure if its poor headphone jack in Fiio equipment or if I am too rough on the amp.

    Tomb Raider: 7/10.   I got sucked into this game for a solid weekend. It has many flaws associated with console porting: Poor mouse aiming, okish graphics, quick time events, jada jada you know the drill.   The good part about it is that: A) The mouse hard aiming is offset by slower enemies...

    I bought it for 5 bucks and still feel I overpaid. DS1 I clocked over 700 hours and feel like I will play it for probably 7000 more. DS2 I stopped playing after 30 minutes (Its not just that it is a different game, it has clearly issues in many areas: Gameplay, Graphics, Controls.)

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Ive been using my bifrost multibit with both LCD-2 and Focal Chorus 714, so I get what Jason means about trying the multibit with speakers. Unfortunately I cant get my gaming set (Z-5500) to us the bifrost as a DAC (since its 5.1 and... well, it has a DAC unit with a cable that looks like a VGA...

    I started playing it on easy but after defeating monsoon I Started all over again in normal. In easy its a bit too simple and you can get away with too much. So far normal also seems easy (except the sewer heavy UGs), but Im still at the stage where you control a small orb, so there is much...

    Played Metal Geral Rising Revengance this past weekend. Started playing at 21.00 "for 5 minutes before going to bed", Finished when I saw the sun was rising (no pun intended). Decided not to touch it until the next weekend to avoid sleepiness at work.   I dont know why but that game is very...

    As far as I see it, While there is significant difference from a Cheap on board DAC to a dedicated DAC, personally I dont feel any DAC passed a 500 dollar mark will be noticeably better. At least I was never able to tell the difference in blind testing when volume matched. If a DAC passed 500...
