This discussion :wink: is “literally” and “figuratively” over my head

@castleofargh Nice results in Archimago’s dac test, :wink:

Because 99.99% of the population who use ANC headphones/iems couldn’t give a toss (quite rightly) for veils being lifted, I prob listen more with my AirPods 2 than anything else (apart from my hifi)

If you don’t mind me asking what is your age and profession?, or you can tell me to mind my own business - that would be perfectly reasonable

No cult, just sound engineering principles…..and no crystals

Given your threads/posts/experiments on here I imagine you were banned for very good reason, Amir and the mods on ASR can’t be dealing with utter foo nonsense masquerading as “merely asking questions”.

I bet you’re the type of person who sits on the toilet before checking the toilet paper roll, :wink: I chickened out and ordered when there was 100 or so left,

I’m surprised the cat isn’t adhering to the #1 cat rule “If I fits I sit” in the bowl on the table

Good to hear from you and I hope the new job is going well,

That would be interesting, but you may have an issue with volume matching with the different headphones being used regarding sensitivity/impedence. Either way it's a test that should be carried out, you can buy A/B/X testing rigs. Were they sighted tests?

But could you do it entirely unsighted?, with perfect DB matching?, all filters the same?, every time you make a mistake we remove a fingernail. :wink:

I’ve been waiting for near enough 20 years (as long as I’ve been using headfi) for a table at a high fi show/headfi/canjam with such a blind test, could be daps/headphone amps/dacs/cables etc…etc. Never going to happen though as that’d destroy the Wizard of Oz illusion, never allow them to...

He mentioned a while back that he had a new job so he wouldn’t be as active

A “thumping” remix from Charlotte de Witte

Hope this is not too controversial Sama Abdulhadi boiler room set from Palestine a few years ago, Sama is a brilliant DJ, her recent Fabric mix is one of my most played of the series in the short time is been released and given what is happening in Palestine and Gaza I watched/listened to this...

Zero 2, it’s a great iem but you may need to buy other ear tips to get a good seal as those included are not that good.

AirPods Pro 2 for when I’m moving around and wired when I’m seated.

I’d say that audio experience of “enveloping sound” is 90% how the music was mixed/engineered and 10% the iem (Edit : I felt I should add this as my reply sounded rather curt, I did not mean it that way. We (our small group of folk) used to organise the dance music tents at The Wickerman...

Astounding :astonished:

If this was a pub then the offender would be sparked out, dragged outside and barred.

Passive aggressive behaviour indeed. And no to the upscaler nonsense, whatever I get from Apple Music/Tidal through roon is perfectly fine, along with my 1tb ALAC rips from my cd collection.

If you ignore the edm goons this is a good “hard” mix from Four Tet

I can sympathise, to think I used to consider the Etymotic er4-p I used back in 2005 to sound good, or the sennheiser cx300 bud
