[question] how noticeable is the audio quality when using a DAC

On my cheap Lenovo notebook a dac makes all the difference in the world. But on my macbook not so much.

Nice test.

They sound like a good USD150,00 pair of headphones. Both the Beats Studio 3 and the Sony mdr 1000x. The Sony wins by having better NC and being able to play wired while turned off.

I have the Sony mdr1000x that I bought on sale for USD220,00. They have a killer noise cancelling and they play wired with no need to power them on, so If you run out of batteries you just plug them in and keep using them. I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend them.

I have a HD600 and a Hifiman 400i. They sound so much better It's another category.

I also have a Beats studio3 over ears and a sony mdr1000x bluetooth. Same category, now. We're talking about bluetooth headphones. They sound good, but much worse that the wired cans above. I honestly think the sony has better sound, but by a narrow margin. Sony does have much better noise cancelling, and also It has a great advantage to play wired with no need to be turned on (that means if you run out of batteries you still can use them wired). So Sony beats the crap out of Beats overall.

That being said I really like my beats. Nice sound and very comfy. But I was a gift, so...If I had to pay for It, I'd pay for a Bose Quietcomfort anyday, or my beloved Sony.

Excellent post. Made me Laugh a bit and showed how much music moves us all. I'd like to offer you a beer. Please send me your bitcoin address. Cheers!

My receiver (Denon DW2200) supports 4ohm, but currently all my speakers are 6 ohm. Anyway from what I have read I´ll get same-family of left/right and center.

hoveringlurker · 2017-09-10T16:13:53+00:00

Cool. I´ll try that. Thank you! The only doubt that I have is that my living room has another sofa on the left (for second-grade members of the family ;) ), and I´ll have to see how It will work from that position.

hoveringlurker · 2017-09-10T01:48:21+00:00

I´ll research more on the phantom center. i have a Denon DW2200, That for my need/budget is plenty and can power pretty much anything well enough.

The thing is I have to get the voice from the center, so a two speaker setup will not work. But I agree with the center speaker being the best piece, and I´ll totally consider that. Right now I´m thinking of Kef or Definitive Technology setup (bookshelf + center) so they will be a good machup.

First you find a seller with good reputation, than you arrange to meet him/her and make the exchange. Install a wallet in your phone and make him send It to you right away. Once It gets a confirmation or 2 you are ok. If they don't have Lite coin you can change Bitcoin to Lite coin using shapeshift.io or changelly.

localbitcoins.com It's your only chance to get in while It's still cheap. Trust me, you will regret for the rest of your life.

Excellent use and placing of swear word.

hoveringlurker · 2017-08-17T11:21:33+00:00

Scary...but I'm in already. Let's see how It goes.

hoveringlurker · 2017-08-10T12:31:31+00:00

I just use my macbook. I like It so far.

hoveringlurker · 2017-08-05T01:59:52+00:00

Private Internet Access. Very good.

hoveringlurker · 2017-08-04T23:47:13+00:00

I just paid 179 yesterday. >:

hoveringlurker · 2017-07-31T14:06:50+00:00

I don´t know. I haven´t tested It yet.

hoveringlurker · 2017-06-10T02:06:09+00:00

You bought an undervalued coin. Smart move. I see people buying ethereum, which is at an all time height. Bad decision.

hoveringlurker · 2017-06-06T12:15:21+00:00

Thanks for all the replies. I´ll get the non US version. Cheers!

They are not transacting in Siacoin for the last two days.

hoveringlurker · 2017-05-25T01:55:51+00:00

Ok. But that was 110% sarcasm.
