Did finish Wo Long but not the DLCs. I think Rise of the Ronin is a better game overall. The DLC bosses of Wo Long were just crazy. Tried a couple times but couldn't get into both Nioh games for some reason. Currently playing Stellar Blade and its seems pretty good so far.

Actually finished that as well but I would say it is not that bad as a normal action game. I wouldn't even call it Souls like. Now let's wait for Elden Ring DLC while playing Stellar Blade.

To each his own, but I finished both games and I genuinely enjoyed Lords of the Fallen much more than Lies of P in almost every aspect.

The bosses are hard in Sekiro but I just kept trying because they were fun. Some of the Lies of P boss fights are just unfun and boring. King of Puppets you have to go through the same robot thing which you have already faced several times at that point, with very tight parry window, in order to...

Side question, is the ThieAudio Mk2 really S- tier as Crinnacle says? Is the Mk3 better or worse?

Was this an April 1 thing?

MSI Meg Ace motherboard (line out) -> Cavalli Liquid Fire -> HE1000v2 The computer is equipped with 7950X3D and RTX4090 so I wouldn't call it a great source, but I do enjoy gaming on it.

I have the mobius and have the old Smyth Realizer and no the Mobius is nowhere close. Once my set got broken I just use my Airpods Max as a daily driver and the HE1000v2 (powered by a Cavilli Liquid Fire amplifier) whenever I need some sound quality.

Any last word on whether the T8000 or BHSE suits the X9000 more?

I think Chord Dave gets the rave because it is reasonably priced and is a flagship. Other Hifi brand's flagship players / DACs go many times pricier than Dave. It is a good middle point in general and can certainly be considered as end-game for Head-fiers, but for people who are also into two...

Do you guys think Wireless earbuds will go bonkers in price one day? Like Empire Ears or some company would come up with $5K wireless earbuds? The cable guys will take a hit though if wireless can finally match wired IEMs in terms of SQ. I know AptX-Lossless is supposed to be of CD quality at...

Agreed - the fact I pulled it out after five years from storage and it still works like a charm is nothing short of amazing too. I guess having no capicitors helped.

I know this thread is more than a decade old, but I just recently hooked it up for gaming purpose with my HE1000v2. Didn't expect to listen to music but when I was playing a game with my own background music (Street Fighter 6) I started up Tidal (master tier). Bruh. I couldn't even believe what...

Anyone tried the Moondrop Variation and how does it fare against the other bassy IEMs?

Am still using the SP1000 Cu version and still quite happy. Also listened to the SP3000 for a while but 1000Cu is still my favourite in terms of personal preference for tonality.

Where does the Sony IER-Z1R fit in?

At this price who would buy a Shanling over, say, Esoteric?

With USB-C it opens up much more opportunities - has anyone tested that the existing portable USB-C DACs do work with the iPhone? Is there a cable that I should get? Cheers

I hope they won't ditch the high end stuff...

First boss in Armored Core 6 was no slouch.

Hi guys, I already have Mobius. Is Maxwell a step up or step down?

v2 is now $1399? It's a steal! Less than half the original price...

Which one is the hardest hitting wireless bluetooth headphone?
