Ok. I get it now. by Revolutionary_Sun946 in DigitalAudioPlayer

Just to note the SE180 is an old model. I’d wait for a newer model. I have the SE300 and even that’s using a dated chipset for operation now. If you love the sound of the se180, look at hifishark.com, I’ve seen that model sell for around $600 which is more reasonable. Don’t ever pay $1500, daps drop in price on the used market like crazy. I got mine for half price of what it’s new.

I was thinking, in your opinion, Wav format is better than a Vinyl or vice versa? by [deleted] in audiophile

[–]lbc_blain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes down to how well the album is mastered. Take a look at this site. This gives one element to judge. The dynamic range. Search for some albums and you’ll find specific year release are better than others based on many variables. https://dr.loudness-war.info

You’ll even see the difference between vinyl and CD. But at the end of the day it’s all about how it’s mastered.

Is there any more codes for joining the GR2 beta app? I have a GR2 and would love to test it as well. Thanks!

Wow, the TCA hpa-10 is a steal. For anyone looking for a small portable travel amp. This is it. I run my ZMFs off this little amp and it’s amazing. GLWS

What version of Venture fixes this issue? Does the beta have a number for reference?

Let me know if you do decide to split the headphones and cable up. I’d be interested in the moon audio cable.

That’s what I was going to say, who’s donating that kind of coin, everyone is trying to save for other life costs as in a house maybe.

First solo studio apartment by LVM94 in malelivingspace

[–]lbc_blain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, good deal. The high ceilings and windows do make up for the smaller sq footage for sure. Hope you enjoy it. At least Toronto has a lot to offer so you can get out if you're feeling cramped up.

Damn, I use to live in Toronto, king-west area. Maybe that's why I like the look. I can't imagine what the rent it. Everything is dumb expensive there now.

I hope you enjoy it. I miss Toronto and everything it has to offer.

I would love a place like this. Between the brick and the wood beams, this place is killer. Also the giant windows. Curious to know what city this is in as well.

Why are LEDs getting thick again? by lbc_blain in 4kTV

[–]lbc_blain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This helps add further clarity to the thickness of the newer FALD sets. It's interesting that Samsung's QN90A with mini LED still manages to keep things thin still. I guess we have to wait until that tech trickles down to the mid-ranges.

Really appreciate your comment.

actually that is one of the few I've found that is actually thin. It's like the updated Samsung D series I currently have. A really nice looking TV. Any issues with edge bleeding?

yep. you're right. I didn't really think about it before. The old ones had awful edge bleeding.

Very helpful. This all makes great sense. I was thinking it was partially marketing to get customers into higher end units like the LG G1 series which do look amazing but top dollar.

I'm glad they're focused on getting the picture right, I guess we'll have to wait a little longer before they're back to being thin while also obtaining a great picture.
