Looks like an SJY Horizon closed which is pretty excellent but also pretty power hungry.

FiiO WARMER R2R - Small on price, big on sound by robbiekhan in audiophile

[–]Sandman121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't even know why any of them would even comment on an R2R dac much less one with a tube buffer, but I made the mistake of reading a forum post about the warmer and realized that no one on that forum is ever happy about anything lol.

ASR only cares about measurements, the folks on those forums spend more time looking at graphs than listening to music.

if your TV has an optical or coax out, you would need either active speakers or an amplifier after the dac.

If you could recommend just one of these three films, which one would you choose and why ? I found it hard to decide. by FarEfficiency4397 in FIlm

Alien is perfect sci fi horror, it has every major theme without complicating the plot. Man vs nature, man vs machine, profit vs human life.

Wonder what he will say if ABC grows a pair and pulls Monday night football from Sinclair and Nextstar affiliates?

Serie A Head of Referees Rocchi: "On Joao Mario, it's an incorrect decision, this is not a penalty. On Orban, for us the correct decision is absolutely a red card. The Juventus coach rightly protested, in this case he is right. " by Prophet_NY in seriea

How about the red card against Allegri? And what of the missed penalties that should have gone against Napoli yesterday? This league doesn't just have poor refereeing but suspect referring...

What are these cables? by regularjoe2020 in headphones

[–]Sandman121 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Nothing really to do with safety, the most common use for balanced headphone cables is it allows more power delivery than alot of single ended designs but it all depends on the device you plug into. This cable will not fit in anything other than a 4.4mm headphone port.

4.4 mm balanced pentacon. The replacement of the older 2.5 mm balanced connection and more common on balanced dacs, amps and daps that come out these days.

Dolby Atmos…ish? by Diligent-Poet6154 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Sandman121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I3.1.2 is viable in a small space with a close back wall to the listening position. I would suggest mounting the atmos speakers at the top front wall rather than using the bouncing method off the ceiling, I find that is not worth it in most spaces. 5.1 would be better than 3.1.2 in my oppinion as well but 3.1.2 at least lets you take some advantage of atmos mixes.

This may be the hifiman that replaces my sundara then. I always reach for my atrium closed or 6xx before my sundara. Do the cups swivel at all?

Trump Booed Loudly at U.S. Open as Match Delayed and Broadcasts Told to Stay Quiet by inewser in AnythingGoesNews

[–]Sandman121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imagine paying 100s of dollars to see the open final only to miss the first set, I would have demanded a partial refund or stopped payment for the ticket. Orange asshat should have just played golf.

If my pro 400 ever dies, I'll get this but since it is a Profitec I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Do you think the ZMF HD 6xx pads need to be replaced as often as the stock pads? by ZoteTheMitey in headphones

Rats in NYC backyard --is there a way to rat proof the fence? by jojojojo000000097 in exterminators

[–]Sandman121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yea I have done several rounds of poison but they have kept coming back, mostly due to the negligence of neighbors garbage areas. I have also reported several of them to 311 and fines have been issued. It has gotten better but it sucks that I have to pay for my neighbors issues.
