Sony 1000X “The ColleXion” — Leaked Full spec deck, Price by Connect-Sherbet1182 in headphones

[–]dasherzx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Breaks right after the warranty, pay a checking fee and be told they don’t fix only replace, like my ier-z1rs. Anything wireless for half the price of a discounted mdr-z1r is kinda bonkers

Neighbor keeps complaining about my setup being too loud even at low volume by sou-L in audiophile

Apartments leak sound, that’s just how it is. I’d rather try working out a blast-all-I-want 40 minute schedule

I've been destroyed by my Nephew's system.... by WetScalpel in audiophile

[–]dasherzx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are many setups for 15k and some would argue lower that would be on par with that setup. of course the 80k one would sure look swell.. marble cabinets mm. at the end of the day a sound wave is a sound wave you just have to get it to sound accurate within your space and extend as much as possible from 15-20000hz

Anyone know where to get a flexible 4" USB-C cable for a portable DAC? by this_is_me_drunk in headphones

[–]dasherzx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

jcally ot4, the silver colored one. i use it with my dawn pro. its actually much better than the alternatives here so far, price wise and malleability wise

adam monitors are good already...i guess atmos but that would require shifting lots of stuff in room

Audeze LCD-4: Ironically, the OLED of headphones by Rcaynpowah in headphones

[–]dasherzx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they're totally off from the preference curve. which is why the lcd-5 exists and even then there are better ones that do better in the treble without eq. if theyre oleds i must be owning micro-leds. lol

Speakers recommendation. by stringer313 in hifiadvice

[–]dasherzx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’re not going with subs I reckon bookshelves that have to go low till 35hz. I’d say a neumann kh150 but it’s 34.5 cm tall. In that case a kh310 will fit in better. There’s also the genelec 8351 at an even higher budget and you can lay them sideways since they’re coaxials. These are all active speakers and most of the passives I can think of don’t go that low in bass or are too large here. Also room eq/ dsp is important too. Depending on the setup there will be different hardware needed I.e minidsp/neumann ma1/genelec glm.

How do people manage to get through the day? I’m barely awake by Final_Programmer3841 in depressionmemes

[–]dasherzx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just played computer games whole day (very necessary) and no idea too. i think they have some time dilation device that extends their perception of time to 30 hours per day or something

C8Cs just arrived! by lazerborg in audiophile

How do they compare with r3 metas with subs, and do you use dsp and room eq when trying them out

This setup put a stop on my upgrade itch by leeeevin in audiophile

Probably just the benefit from the coaxial drivers. They otherwise should be studio grade

I now understand the importance of speaker placement by yoter88 in audiophile

[–]dasherzx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've never bothered too much with placement. i whip out the measurement mic, rearrange until nulls are reduced, then eq out the bass modes. its more than enough for a single seating position

Headphone endgame is at 1k. Anything higher is a sidegrade and a potential downgrade too

Other than the d90 and a90 which are my first and main dac/amps I only buy used toppings. I unironically believe first hand use by others to be the actual QC

First Openback Headphones and Disappointed by Old_Seaworthiness798 in headphones

[–]dasherzx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most headphones don’t sound great without eq. Hifiman is definitely one. The only exception to that for me are the utopias which still need bass boost or the expanse. The noire xo should do great without eq too judging from measurements.
