Can you let me know how or what I should be looking at to understand it better?

Literally every PCM DAC is compatible with DSD via DoP. Direct recording to DSD or analog to DSD conversion are both vastly superior sonically to PCM. There is literally no point to own an audiophile grade DAC if you never use it to listen to DSD.

So this guy just named all the formats he knows? Then he knows little.
Opus all the way.

Well, it is not just about impedance. You should look at sensivity either.

DSD is dead. Unusable format for an end user. PCM all the way.

This is why you don't re-encode from a lossy original.

Psh what a novice, not even resoldering the wires to the drivers themselves

Yeah, most don't realize it. My most expensive set of headphones was an HyperX Alpha which i had to save for a few months and wait for a sale so i could buy it lol
I can only dream of the day i'll be able to buy an HD 600 or similar, but that's still a few years away.

I feel like a lot of Americans don’t realize the power of the US dollar. I’m a relatively broke college student but I still have a “good” set up.

Where you really messed up was not having styrofoam cups attached to a string on one end and having the other end attached to two cups at your favorite band playing live in concert.
You see just one cup on their end gives you mono instead of stereo

Very good sounding headphones, but terrible terrible quality. They seem sturdy but they are definitely not ! Stay away

Uh I sweat a lot on headphone. Uh I don't spend a lot of time on desktop just to listen music. Seems like you're out of touch, sounds like a flexing gatekeeper

Do people actually think Crinacle's arbitrary "neutral" target and the Harman target are the same thing?

This, cheap chifi is the entrance of rabbit hole. The competition on cheap iem is very interesting.

You can usually find a better $50 chi-fi pair of earphones than getting a $50 pair from a western brand.

That just means you need to buy a more expensive amp.
If that doesn't work, buy more expensive headphones.
And if that doesn't work, buy a more expensive cable.

Yeah I mean that would be because their intention is after all to sell their products and adherence to the Harman target is, for a variety of reasons, a good way to achieve that.

Pffff, poor people and their silver cables. What do you expect to hear? It's not like you are using diamond cables...
