Well yeah this DAP seems pretty ultra niche

Sayes a person made out of 70 water 😏 that sounds like something a machine would say.

Who even uses DSD?

Sorry dude…

bro what

These reviews seem kinda fake

100% Positive Feedback! 🤣

There are different types of audio codecs like mp3 aac opus wav flac and many more. The kbps is the bit rate of the codec. More bitrate, better qaulity. Mp3 at 128kbps sounds pretty bad while opus at 128 sounds near lossless. Flac is lossless so that means there is no loss in the audio file.

I could only tell between 320 and lossless about 2/3 times after a few AB tests while concentrating pretty hard, it wasn't easy to differentiate.

So I do believe there is a minute difference, but ultimately just go with the platform that has the music you enjoy and not some audiophile test tracks or whatever

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but hifiman hasn't had a great track record of making good closed back headphones.

There is a difference but only if you're sitting down in a quiet room listening for the sharpness of vocals or thumping of bass drums

Are you using the A or B pads? The B pads are quite stiff and uncomfortable to begin with, but it doesn't take that long before they start to wear down and fit the shape of your head. After that I find them pretty comfortable

I have both and 95% of the time i'm on Spotify, the remaining balance is Tidal. When i don't want to miss anything i use Tidal even if it's kind of hard to distinguish.

Cool. Have a pair of Philips SHP9500, but a friend who’s been helping me wants me to try the 6XX, which would be a huge bump. He ruined me by letting me hear what some crazy quality gear sounded like and now I can’t go back. He’s stuff was more than I’ll spend any time soon, but he’s helping me find the best stuff for my price range.

I think I’d be more worried about drop bears, to be honest

On the go, I use Spotify data saver 24kbit/s. Because I'm usually in noisy environments or moving around, I don't focus on quality so I still enjoy listening.

At home I have 2 options, listen to Amazon/Spotify through my Yamaha a-s501 connected to my Android TV through optical. It's not possible to stream lossless this way but I like the sound it puts out. I do this when I'm chilling out on the sofa. Basically just plug the headphone in and use my phone to select the tunes. Or. Amazon music on laptop > USB-C to qudelix 5k > headphones. This way I can list to hi-Res.

Honestly I don't have a favourite way to listen but I enjoy chill out on the couch while listening through the Yamaha. The whole ritual make me relax most. I don't think I hear the difference in lossless/lossy, but I hear differences in the source. Albeit not much.

Just like me, gonna have to finally grab this one then XD

Mostly death metal, but a little bit of everything really. Everything except jazz lol

This post reminded me so much of the time I got really high and bought a water filter because I become convinced hard water was gonna give me kidney stones.

Or that other time I was really high and smashed a glass and then had to throw away the whole meal I made cos I was paranoid tiny bits of glass had gone into my meal.

Or that other time... And the other time... Oh and that other time....

LOL!

Cool, thanks!

Im confused.

planning on it

I'm waiting for my combo of Lan & Pad. The store I bought shipped it much sooner than the expected date so I hope I'll be getting it soon as well.

Clearly the lan should sound much better with this mousepad.

thanks for all the comments and downvotes, I'm not trying to spread misinformation, I'm just a bit panicked at the moment. when I first learned about the dent I researched it and came to the conclusion it was temporary. But I became weary that's all.
