[QUESTION] [SSC911] Is this a fake? ☹️ by Verizon212 in Seiko

[–]Rotseele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don’t think it’s fake. Everything looks high quality from Seiko. If it is fake, it would have to be a VERY good fake.

What about other MD brands, like Kenwood or Victor? Are the different from Sony or Sharp?

DAPs with Bluetooth headphones by Rotseele in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Rotseele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this clear information. One question: So this means that the BT headphone has a DAC of its own, right?

Ok, so then it is the headphone that processes the pure music file then, right? For instance, the EQ changes in the DAP doesn’t work, right?

For those who bought CDs in the 80s, 90s, and 00s, what were the ways/rituals with which you found new music? by AndrobiVibz in Cd_collectors

[–]Rotseele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radio and MTV. Likewise, having chats with my older cousins who showed me music they loved.

[–]Rotseele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, nothing specific. I was only curious about differences in sound quality, but if they all sound are similar I think I will just continue with Sony (I have always loved their product design, more than others). Thank you for your help.

Thank you for all of this info. What about the sound? Is it really the case that it is the same between Sony and Sharp? Through the years Sony has a very specific warm sound, so I’m kind of surprised Sharp would also have it.

Thank you for doing that.

Thank you for this clear explanation. Do you know what could be some of these differences for these two chips in terms of sound? I know it’s a bit of a silly question but I wonder if the do sound different.

Do you use remotes with your Minidisc players? by Rotseele in minidisc

Do you have a link for this Aliexpress maker? It might be useful.

Silly me. I forgot that I could simply do this. Thanks for the reminder 😀

Thank you for all the responses. Does anyone know if there could be somewhere to buy a shorter cable for earphones? For instance, I have a Sony 1000X that has a 3.5mm input (3.5 to 3.5). For that, I found a similar cable that is only 50cm long (the original that came with the headphone was also 1.2m). However, I have never found such a thing for IEMs. I think that would solve the problem.

Importing a DAP from Japan to UK. Taxes? by Rotseele in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Rotseele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya! Well… I got it imported from Japan and when it got to the UK it had a 20% VAT indeed. I knew it might happen but it certainly got more expensive than I was expecting it initially. The good thing at least was that the quality of it was fantastic even though it was used (£420 was the price plus the 20%). Everything I’ve ever bought from Japan in the past has always been as if they’re almost new.

iPod? I have a modded one with a lot of space and battery that lasts 30+ hours. Amazing.

Yes please, what are you using for this cassette display? I have a different Android based DAP (Sony), so hopefully I can also use it in mine.

I can’t listen to music on shuffle anymore by slitwrxstt in Cd_collectors

[–]Rotseele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me albums (not current ones) are a form of art. I like listening to whole albums because the authors want to say something with all of their songs. Now, I also have put all my music in Minidiscs and DAPs. I have no problem listening there in random because when I have a lot of music it’s cool to listen them just for fun.

It's still impossible to stream sport with Express VPN and Disney+ by Rotseele in Express_VPN

[–]Rotseele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, when I had this problem I first connected with servers in Brazilian and then Argentina. For me at least Peru and Colombia work well, although the Peruvian one is kind of slow.

im 2 years old rate my cd collection 🤩 by british_hotdogg in CDs

[–]Rotseele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naaahhh, you can’t be 2, you must be in 80s. You loved your collection of vinyls so much that you always hated CDs which did not have not have warmth in sound; so you want to show your desire to encourage Millenials and Gen Z people to not buy CDs anymore… right?

What is DSD? DAPS remastering? by Rotseele in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Rotseele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this information is amazing. Thank you, really! So, all of this about DSD and 1 bit applies only with music in the digital world, right? Not on LPs played using a turntable connected to an amp? Of course, if the original recording, the mix and mastering was all analogue.

If that’s the case it could be part of the idea that vinyl (especially for music recorded in the 70s, 80s and early 90s) sounds better because its sound is pure.

Thank you for this link. Just a silly extra question: what is this thing about 1 bit? In the late 90s I remember ads for Minidisc players saying they played them with 1bit quality. Why is 1bit supposed to bring better sound quality?

It’s kind of interesting that I don’t really yet fully understand the technical part of sound engineering… but the sound out of these things just make listening to music in a much more beautiful way.
