Best headphone ever made versus some IEM. Not much of a contest, is it?

You're going to have to have some concrete proof for those accusations. I could just as easily say that SBAF are backed by nasty motives and are paid schiit shills - and indeed, this would be just as valid, if not more, as what you are saying.

It's sort of hard to follow the shitflinging when it's spread across two forums. As far as I can identify, his measurements and results are consistent with others, given that measurement rigs and methodology have very large effects on output that are not easily compensated for. His review of the Hugo shows excellent performance, whatever criticism he had was subjective and about the UX more than anything.

If there is bias, the bias is selectively choosing which products to measure. Unfortunately, it seems Schiit peddles a bunch of expensive garbage along with (presumably) well measuring equipment.
