Maybe he has no camera. Would an accurate drawing convince you that he has one?
Yes you're right, your and my avatar are exactly the same level of trendy. Riiiight.
Also I checked out your headphones. Maybe when you own one thats worth more then $100, you'll be able to appreciate more then an ipod.
I had the opportunity to listen to a FLAC file of Hans Zimmer's "Inception" soundtrack on the 801 and compared it to the same FLAC recording on my 4G touch. There was a shocking lack of detail on the 801. I can't imagine anyone thinking the SQ was acceptable. HM-801 > SE535 and the same IEMs with the touch. I think placebic value is proportional to the $$-spent on these one-off DAPs.
I listed two reasons why I think he's a liar. He can easily prove me wrong, until then, to me, he's a liar. And a troll.
Here's a picture, just for you, now go take off your pom poms. You've done enough cheer leading for Hifiman.
Seriously, I want to ask. How much does Head-Direct pay you?
Ahahahaha. Go check the head-direct forum. Seriously go see it. Its open to all. Check all my posts on there. See if I'm earning a good cheque from head-direct.
You're funny.
And you're completely missing the point. The reviewers actually did in fact do volume matching.. a lot more scientific ones too then your "So, I ran a volume matched test by ears. I know it's not accurate but it's sufficient enough."
Sufficient to whom? You? Great, my standards are higher then your standards. Also you clearly have no 24-bit 96khz files which your precious ipod does NOT support, and thus have overpayed for your player since that is for the 801 is designed to do. So you thus either a. do not actually listen to anything hifi b. cannot tell the difference and thus your ears are crap and your opinion should be kept to yourself since you're clearly nowhere near capable enough of distinguishing sound characteristics and nuances.
