for huge cables. I've just got a reasonable setup for around $1000 all in, and I get pretty stoked when I find a record that is so well recorded and engineered that you can hear the reverberations in the concert hall or hear quieter counterpoint melodies or subtle flourishes from the drummer/bassist and poo poo that you never noticed on dogshit setups.

https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/weiss-dac501-streamer-and-dac-review.48377/ its weird to see apologists on ASR for a $10K all-digital DAC/streamer with subpar analog outs when PCs that can do any DSP/EQ you ever want exist for 1% the price

Grassy Knowles posted:I feel like when they say transparent they’re talking about jacket color. look, your phone's GPS receiver can work with satellite signals that's 0.00000000000001% of a single watt, but the last few meters of the internet? An unsolved problem for audio 1's and 0's which is why for the best audio quality you need a full unbroken chain of ipv6 with zero NAT

https://cheaptubeaudio.blogspot.com/2022/10/aiyima-a08-pro.html Amazing how this guy can go "this cheapo Chinese Class-D chip amp is just-as-good or better than my megabuck tubes" without also going "maybe my cable tweaks are bullshit".

$6000 headphones that is decidedly inferior in every metric versus a pair of $2000 studio monitors, and somehow even less efficient than passive speakers which is of course because ASR didn't test it with the accompanying $26000 amp

EL BROMANCE posted:Yeah it’s sad to see how few of the name brand companies you could rely on are nothing more than identities now, pushing out crap with no relation to the original company. At some point someone on here will probably own Atari, given everyone else has done by this point. Japanese brands are next to extinct in home audio outside of a few headphones for a long while now. I don't recall seeing even one plain jane bluetooth SBC speaker made by them.

GreatGreen posted:This reminds me of that documentary about Japanese audiophiles a while back, where some Japanese guy had the city install an actual fully functional power line, big wooden pole and all, right in front of his house, so he could wire it directly to a single outlet in his listening room for his stereo, which would then be freed from the pollution of all those other electronically noisy devices in his house. His listening room was not treated at all by the way, it was entirely wooden with only like a tiny rug for his chair, and sounded like a tile bathroom. what's a separate power line gonna do to the inherent harmonics and noise in the AC? not a darn thing

Ruflux posted:It actually means definition, so obviously a better quality cable means there's more definition in the music, basic logic. phoneposting mode now so i dig for the link later there is a paper where the author modded a CD player to resemble an LP player, yet the audiophiles still went gaga over the warmth even though they listened to an actual CD or how the MP3 source was overall more preferred over CD which was in turn preferred more over LP when done blind lol Palladium fucked around with this message at 12:05 on Feb 6, 2024 |

auzdark posted:Is that that 100Mb ethernet unit that was doing the rounds a year or two back? super glad the site doesn't mention any tech info on the wifi and ethernet capabilities (on the router thing too) so our SSDs can perfectly reconstruct 6 GB/s of digital data from analog voltages with some of the shittiest SNR from NAND cells, but 1411kbps along a CAT6 cable is a complete digital signaling disaster

Unreal_One posted:Some hucksters will sell you subpar crystals for $1000, but mine are $5000 a pair, and you get what you pay for. I'd recommend getting 6 pair for a beginner's set up. You can really hear the difference, and if you can't, just sign this statement that you have mediocre hearing and get your full money back! chinese snake oil peddlers: full money back, you loving noob. you should be saying they aren't hearing any difference because they aren't buying the higher tier oil yet, if they aren't buying keep poor shaming them until they do

faithful and competent sound reproduction by drilling completely unnecessary holes into the cabinet also reminds me even AMD had the common sense to bribe anandtech over the late and sucky phenom 1 than going in the opposite direction lol Palladium fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Apr 9, 2024 |
