Thumbs up!

 
Thanks for making me scroll ten times for a thumbs up.  I appreciate it.

You should be thanking him, they're a rare commodity these days apparently...

  Yes, "The truth is out there." I can't wait for someone to claim they need a 32 bit DAC.

Well if they do think that they need a 32 bit DAC these DACs are available:

If only the DR and SNR could match the resolution, with the proper amping one might start an earthquake. Goes along with that other nutty storyline, "You can never have enough wattage."

At least high wattage has some basis in reality - large drivers, such as those used for subwoofers, do require more watts than small drivers. However like all things audiophile the need for massive amounts of watts (power) is taken to the extreme, so extreme that any basis in reality is thrown out the window.

I wasn't clear, the wattage thing was about headphones. Then again one couldn't start an earthquake, even with a pair of HE-6's.

So what are we talking about 18" diameter earcups? Sure they are unwieldy but man do they have BASS!!

Only Ross Perot can fit those cans. He must be the ultimate Basshead.

Of course people will need 32 bit DACs. How else would they playback 32 bit audio that someone has convinced them to buy

I like to flashbang my enemies digitally.

Does that mean bait and switching them to a 1000 Hz square wave at 0 dB full scale, after getting them to put IEMs in and turn the volume all the way up?

Sounds like a new product on the way, the Pono Deluxe, shaped like a Rubik's Cube. 

 You have to solve it to get into 32 bit mode.

That was a great read bigshot!  Thumbs way up!
