    RTX3080 after market reviews are in (They are Shi*T)

    He bought a 2080TI just before release is my guess.

    Yeah they are if you are a pretentious twat - subjectively speaking of course
  9. Ac!DLeAk

    HeaDphone Discussions. (Audiophile and Gaming)

    Again a subjective point - fine to have, just not doing your credibility any favour. You've seemed to taken this quite personally. Just be aware that people come here for advice on all products. By suggesting the 789, AudioGD R2R and 650 every time without understanding their budget and needs...

    HeaDphone Discussions. (Audiophile and Gaming)

    See now that's not really objectively debating is it. I have and continue to listen to new gear which I luckily can borrow from a mate in one of the audio shops here so am I am able to form my own opinions. I am glad you enjoyed the 789, and I am sure you will enjoy the R28. All I did, and...

    Ergo, more transparency and natural sound. People seem to mistake transparency for clinical, which is what THX tech in general (not just the 789) does. It was designed for two things. 1) To measure "clean" in terms of numbers, and 2) To produce a lot of power which they achieved, but at the...

    HeaDphone Discussions. (Audiophile and Gaming)

    Wasn't saying the 789 is a bad amp - just that I wouldn't own one and pointed out that its not 100% transparent. It does colour the treble, which isn't a bad thing necessarily. People (lots of them based on history of the AMP) prefer that from what they have been used to. GLWS (ales)

    Just got Tidal as well - trying it out now. Can't really see a use case for home use at the moment if you have a FLAC library and using ASIO/WASAPI UPDATE: Just a a few minutes in and its pretty apparent that the TIDAL apps messes with source. Sounds worse than FLAC in foobar. Suggest using...

    Worthwhile to upgrade or rather wait?

    Yeah but you be would stupid buying gen 9 intel with HT disabled when you know 10th gen will have it enabled.

    See Intel's release - told you to wait...

    So the Cavalili's DAC would not be as resolving as the EL DAC II and you will definitely be able to hear this in music. The benefit of the Cavalli is obviously price and that you can tube role. It is a hybrid however so the change would not be as pronounced but still noticeable. The amp also...

    Worthwhile to upgrade or rather wait?

    100% disagree - Wait for the new stock. This is a very unique year. Intel has competition which means prices will have to come down or performance up. General rule I have is to never buy in the same year as a console release either. Notwithstanding, I'd say wait for the Ryzen 4000. You will...

    Play around a bit before you go external - you can get a good understanding of the different sounds. This will save you in the long run from experimenting with more expensive external gear because of your fomo. Have seen plenty people fall in love with darker r2r sounds, then go full 180 to...

    HeaDphone Discussions. (Audiophile and Gaming)

    Personally would then go for a monolith liquid spark. Its a great unit imo. Your DAC is good enough for now to do the job and the once you are ready you can upgrade that. If you want an all in one unit, the Fiio K5 Pro or ifI Zen DAC is also quite decent imo. I would personally stay away from...

    There is also the earstudio ES-100 - it has tons of customizability. These are bluetooth receivers though so you would still need a source. If Bluetooth is not a necessity, maybe look at the ifi Hip Dac or Xduoo XD 05 plus. The Xduoo has a quarter ", 1 watt per channel and can swap op amps. Also...

    Few question - What is your budget? What type of sound do you like? Will you be buying more headphones in the future? Do you have a decent sound card currently?

    Are you looking for a DAP specifically or would portable DAC/AMP do?

    [For Sale] Sennheiser HD700

    This is a steal with the current exchange rate - the 700's also hold their value. You will be hard pressed to find a set of these anywhere near this price on ebay.

    HeaDphone Discussions. (Audiophile and Gaming)

    There are definitely some closed backs out there that can give some space and separation. They Sony MDR-Z7 and Fostex Th-x00 for example.
  25. Ac!DLeAk

    HeaDphone Discussions. (Audiophile and Gaming)

    There is quite noticeable grain in the 58x once you go up the headphone line imo. Still great value for money though.

    HeaDphone Discussions. (Audiophile and Gaming)

    I find it fascinating how there is always a sense of being looked down upon should someone mention any brand other than something that is considered "good" on the likes of AV Forums SA. Audio has moved on, whether the old guard cares to admit so or not. By staying stuck in the ways of the old...

    AMD Threadripper 3970X & 3960X Review, Total Intel HEDT Annihilation

    Exactly - And to attract console owners to PC's, newer hardware will be released to cater for the PC fanatics to have the latest and greatest (consoles can't be see to be near PC performance) at a faster rate, leading to today's RTX's becoming more affordable more quickly. This coupled with two...
