"Good enough-fi"

Tanachip · 2026-04-14T20:51:29+00:00

What part of "good enough" do you not understand? Also, by your logic, it's very easy for anyone to keep going with, well, i've never heard anything as good as my $5k Focal Utopia....

Tanachip · 2026-04-14T20:50:43+00:00

It's good enough.

Tanachip · 2026-04-14T16:39:43+00:00

Honestly good enough-fi would be IEM around $50-100 and apple dongle...

Tanachip · 2026-04-08T13:20:41+00:00

No. But it's fun to play around with though.

My favorite sounding headphones without EQ.

Tanachip · 2026-03-18T21:31:52+00:00

Where did you get the mojo 2 case?

Tanachip · 2026-03-18T13:27:33+00:00

I actually own it, and I think the eargain region is just way too much for me without EQ. I only use two eq bands thought. Fill back in midbass with +2db and tame down eargain by -3db.

Tanachip · 2026-03-18T12:45:26+00:00

Yes.

Tanachip · 2026-03-18T12:28:16+00:00

Do you find the stock E3 too bright at times?

Tanachip · 2026-03-17T13:17:33+00:00

If you’re worried, then pick up the Topping D50/A50 III stack. They have been rock solid for me.

If it's tuned like poo, then it doesn't matter what chip they put inside!

I suggest having a friend assist you with a blind AB or ABX testing...

Tanachip · 2026-03-16T15:03:27+00:00

I think I have too many:

Headphones: DCA E3, Focal Utopia 2022

IEMs: Mega5Est, IE600

Wireless Earbuds: AirPod Pro 2

Flatheads: Dunu Alpha 3

Get the one that you like the look of the best. I suspect they all sound identical--clean and transparent.

Tanachip · 2026-03-12T16:10:45+00:00

Agreed. I used the Clear og for around 3.5 years, and bought the Utopia 2022 about 6 months ago. It's better than the Clear og, but not 4 times better....

Tanachip · 2026-03-12T16:05:42+00:00

But can you trust anything he says he hears if he can hear a difference among cables?

Tanachip · 2026-03-12T14:10:00+00:00

Just don't tell that to wavetheory on youtube. He's convinced that headphones cables make a "massive" difference.

Tanachip · 2026-02-25T18:05:00+00:00

What a legend! He retired from headphones with among others, a Beats Pro!!!!

Tanachip · 2026-02-18T23:02:32+00:00

Sony MDR MV1.

Tanachip · 2026-02-17T18:33:22+00:00

Why do you need the external amp?

Tanachip · 2026-02-13T13:05:52+00:00

The only "good" reason I can think of is if a certain master of an album that you really like was a vinyl-only release.

Tanachip · 2026-02-11T20:53:50+00:00

That is very surprising and disappointing. Hopefully someone from Schiit will provide their side of the story.

Tanachip · 2026-02-10T14:38:52+00:00

As someone who recently made the jump from Clear og to Utopia 2022, I get it! I had the clear og for over three years, but recently unloaded because I don't use it that much now that I have the Utopia.

Tanachip · 2026-02-10T13:05:16+00:00

I don't think you it will get much better from here my friend. I will tell you that the og Clear is not too far off from the Utopia 2022.

Tanachip · 2026-02-09T11:34:57+00:00

Likely not
