only needs a $2000 setup

Any recommended chinky headphone DAC+AMPs? Looking for something to leave on the office PC, not for mobile use

https://www.amazon.com/XtremPro-Portable-USB-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B01FQHBDI4

it's the same thing as a audioquest dragonfly black

for a third the price

Neat. Powerful enough to run good headphones?

I'm more used to boxes with knobs

get VE amp

(dont)

ye shud be powerful enough

i mean unless you're trying to drive a he-6 or something stupid like that

it should be fine

There we go 125mW @ 32 ohms that what I was looking for

id prefer something more ａｓｔｈｅｔｉｃfor battlestation screenshots

if you want big tin box shit you're looking at like $200 at least <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

🤔

the iems look really nice not gonna lie

ya they look a lot better like this

i'll probably do this... never

the nail polish or the iems?

8)

i wonder what it'l look like polished up

wetsand that bitch

wish me luck

messy boy

comfort really didnt change

i think its because i use triple flange

Can't stand triple flange, and damn

Sanding anything down on earphones makes me wince.

Did it change the sound signature a bit, though?

im going to sand the outside as well

i can feel those edges

I'm considering trying something with my ZST's

I don't think it's the greatest idea though

idk why it'd change the sound signature

unless you accidentailly added a vent or reduced volume somehow

I love my ZST PRO's, but that treble is just fucking piercing

ew

broken cables here we go

shape is coming together nicely

wtf dude

how could you ruin the glorious campfire look

ca is garbage though? they stole from KZ

oh yea

head fi threads srsly suck for info

kek

dude wet sand it

Where else should I go? I'll be honest, the hifi drivers on the ZST are ew

dry sand is just gonna fuck it up more

zst is shit

carbon tenores

Er, the BA drivers are ew

or whatever theyre caleld

kz cant make good hybrids because theyre too retarded to understand how to use resonance and dampers

Planning on doing that foam damper mod.

But I don't want to destroy my BA drivers.

buy actual knowles dampers from taobao

or just pull the ba out and run it without lmao

There isn't enough room on the ZST's for that.

The BA driver is like

Squished up against the mesh screen

remove mesh

Only option is to put a tinyass amount of foam into the nozzle.

hello friend, would you like high frequencies yes

just buy an actual not shit iem

*shrug*

buy es3 so you have fucked highs and lows

ES3 lul

shut up windy

es3 poo

Don't yopu mean ZS3?
