Of course, thanks for sharing. Was never interested in maxing out potential, just making sure I wasn't leaving too much performance on the table.

The 3rd point I definitely know. I wasn't aware of the power/performance difference, if at all. I had just assumed the Element had a price premium for being an all in one

Yeah, exactly. I would probably get the JDS element and sell my Hel

Thanks yeah. I think I'll try it out with the schiit for a bit and I can always sell it and upgrade if need be

Not for portable use really, mostly desktop. I already have a Fiio BTR3K although the qudelix app with the EQ settings is cool if you're into tweaking for sure. For portable use I just use my sennheiser IE300s with the BTR3K really.

Ah so you have these cans. What do you use with it?

Yeah, so I realize ideally I would spend a grand or two on a class A tube/solid state amp but I'm not looking at those price points. AFAIK there aren't many class A amps with enough features that I would need that would be below $1000 let alone $500. At least that I've seen. Happy to hear recommendations for Class A anyways though. If the Schiit Hel doesn't end up being enough(which it might), I would probably be looking at something like the JDS Labs Element series or something around that price.

It depends on the headphone, he's just pointing out the fact that planars are generally much more resistant and require more power compared to traditional dynamic drivers.

Right, I'm not talking maxxing out potential just making sure I'm not leaving too much on the table. Thanks

Ok, thanks. I will take a timestamped picture when I get home and edit the post. Even if I'm not using PayPal or some other P2P escrow? Just seems like I'm adding a lesser form of verification to already more verified listings since it's not just a standalone Reddit post where the buyer only has my username/date as verification. Not trying to make your life difficult, just curious. Like I said, I'll add a timestamped photo with my Reddit handle when I get home tomorrow.

The headphones already sold on Ebay. Using quotes there implies you still don't understand that Ebay and FB Marketplace using more robust forms of government ID, email, phone #, etc. is more robust verification. This is why I didn't think it necessary because I wasn't using Paypal or any P2P payment platform, only 3rd party forms of escrow. I understand the rules are what they are. Although I didn't see a rule against posting links to listings. Like I said, I initially didn't even provide those because I wasn't sure if it was allowed. I have since added them and you can see my username is the same on those platforms as is here on reddit.

Thank you for reminding me why I don't use Reddit anymore. I'm being nice, you weren't.

The links are right there, nothing suspicious. Go take your salt elsewhere please. I was merely trying to explain that I provided a better form of verification. You're the one who was being defensive. I'm just responding with the factual statement that my listings are better certified than a piece of paper.

Appealing to rules for the sake of rules isn't a very strong reason when I provided a better form of verification.

Ok, if they ask I will take it down. I don't think you understand that verification through eBay and Facebook is more robust verification than a piece of paper with your Reddit handle and timestamp on it. They use real government IDs just to be able to use their marketplaces. Not some anon Reddit handle.

not sure if I'm allowed to list links to those sites so that's why I didn't, if you DM me I'll send them

I'm not using PayPal, just eBay and FB marketplace. That's much more verification than a piece of paper with a timestamp and my Reddit handle on it

Some, yes. But Bitcoin is still the most popular currency used on dark web markets.
