I'll try to write up something in the next couple hours detailing a community-based project.
I have a bunch of interviews tomorrow to prepare for.
Don't worry, just take your time. The interviews are more important. BTW... good lack tomorrow

Out of the earbuds game for quite a while now... any current earbuds that sound like headphones? I remembered getting that from the Zen 2.0/omega edition and K's Samsara, but sadly don't own any of them anymore. I'm keen to look for that "wow" factor again...

What sources are you guys using for your buds?
Currently using this setup for the X6: Topping E30 -> JDS ol switch -> Schiit Asgard 3
(10 usd bud with a 350 usd source setup lol)
But it isnt much better than it is on the JDS atom amp instead of the Asgard 3, so I guess the X6 doesnt scale much higher than this.

Wonder if the BTR5 is enough power for most buds.
unless you're using 300ohm an up earbuds, i think the BTR5 is sufficient.
those high impedance earbuds might be also have enough volume with the BTR5's high gain setting
Overkill setup
in a good way of course.The X6 isn't such a demanding model, so I don't think there's any special difference even if it's just using one of these powerful devices.
But I think you really need a pair of 600ohm buds for intense torture.
My current desktop setup is Acer Predator 17X -> iFi Zen DAC. Occasionally I also hook up a Samson QH4 (4 channal amp) when I test multiple buds

BTR5 will probably drive DIY 600ohm Bery without any problem
The only way to find out is to try with OG Sennheiser HD414yeah, I havent been able to push my asgard 3 to its limit yet with my transducers.

The K´s 300 samsara looks interesting...
