what

4 contact points 🤔

balanced

its normally a 2.5mm 4 pole for balanced cables

at least in the portable hi-fi world

What's the difference in sound, anyways?

fuck all

lol

i mean if i had a balanced dap/amp

there is left/right for separate ears

id prob do it anyway

Also, that's 5 contact points.

What the fuck kind of TRRRS shit is this?

what

the big one isnt a contact point afaik

oh yeah

what is it

I'm just used to using TRS/TRRS.

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/p-oAAOSw1BlZOdMh/s-l300.jpg

actually yeah

its prob a 4.4mm balanced cable

http://www.yypa.hk/images/source/Adapter_04425_2.jpg

that adapter he's using in that pic is prob a 2.5 -> 4.4

Probably is

I still find that 3.5mm is just what works for me

but dont you want balnaced

```The intro to Sweet Dreams has heavy pan effects and quick bass beats that should bring out the main advantages of balanced lines. Unsurprisingly, the lack of crosstalk cleans up the presentation immensely and gives the impression of a wider soundstage. Bass notes are cleaner and smoother, but the response is identical between unbalanced and balanced. Note separation is also better.

Audiobudget discord was a mistake

I like that there are exactly the kind of faggots active you'd expect <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

@Sdeck37 I want to be able to listen to my soaring violins without muddy mids thank you very much

Get some crispy highs, dear friend

Dear friend get extra bass real sound quality

```Like the M-DAC, the M-DAC+ incorporates the ES9018 Sabre Reference 32-bit DAC chipset, still widely regarded as the finest available.```

damn dude

same dac chip as in a 200$ chi-fi dac :^)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/R3SUQ9JKP63UK4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B01CUK3I5Q

this is a great review

best of all it's verified

so you know he's not even memeing

hahaha

the m dac is hugely shilled on uk audio fourms

burn in

audiophile usb cable

17k stereo

hahaha

it does sound aobut right though

dac that costs 8x as much as the headphones

Last note, for anyone considering buying an expensive audio USB cable with gold/silver components (£100+), because some reviewer said it was "so much better" with this cable compared to a cheap printer cable costing £1, I can confirm, without shadow of a doubt, they are lying.

LOL

It's a dac/digital pre-amp, not a headphone amp dude. Did you listen to some active studio monitors plugged into it? I guess not. You spent £699 on a dac and only used the headphone out lol.

there you go

jc the responces to it

```Second (and last): if you are not able to make the distinction between these two setups, especially about the ADG1 and K712, (two pairs of headphones with very different signatures...) Hi-Fi is definitely not for you. I suggest you to consult an ENT promptly.
```

tbf he's got a point

```When it came to actually using the Mojo, I used Grado 325e headphones and tried it with my phone (OnePlus 3 via a USB-C OTG cable), as well as my desktop PC and laptop, and signed up to a trial of Tidal Hi-Fi to make sure I was making the most of it. As I expected, it sounded excellent. However, when I unplugged the Mojo and used the headphone jack of my phone/laptop and listened to the same songs again... it still sounded excellent. I swapped back and forth between Mojo and my phone's headphone jack for a couple of hours and while I decided the Mojo sounded slightly better... maybe... the difference wasn't even close to justifying nearly 400 quid. ``` @Rorset😔🤙🥀𝔊𝔅ℭ 𝐸𝑇𝐸𝑅𝑁𝐴𝐿💔

if you're paying 400 quid just get a high end dap

that way you don't have to look like a moron with this brick wrapped in rubberbands

dunno ill prob just get a v20 or somethin lol

even a dap makes you look like a moron

true

<:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

tbh my phone is good enough so 🤷

lol

How does one become an audiophile

I have tried to learn but my autism isn't compatible outside of the "Wanting a more genuine experience" thing

ok dude

so the first thing to remember

1. cables

cabless are what connect your system

without good cables your syhstem just wont work

2. source

so get a $$$ dac/turntable

3. amp

bigger and more flashy is gen better

4. the actual headphone/spoeaker

5. misc tweaks

e.g cable lifters etc

basically the more money you spend the better itll sound to you and other people after you tell them how much you spent

As long as you're not buying Beats, that is

but yeah idk

becoming a audiophile

just get some decent gear 🤷

LMAO

I have a pair of Sennheiser 598

just buy garbage tbh..

I need an amp tbh

no you dont

get better headphones first dude

Any recs?

Chi-fi is obviously fine as long as I'm not getting memes

hd 600 i guess

lol

got my nice hecks

:^)

oh yeah

nicehck ba 6 @Deleted User

Looking into it

👌

idk dude

they're so hyped

What's the sound signature

dunno

hype i guess

ask sad lad

haven't tried them yet

rip

My only issue with getting into audio is money

Which is general problem for anything tbh

do you mind speakers

I don't mind speakers, but I have a preference for cans

Not gonna complain if I can get a nice set of speakers that are better than my cans tho

better is subjective

True

speakers offer something that you'll never find in headphones

and headphones to speakers

imo speakers >>>>>>>>> headphones for any serious listening

You guys seem to forget that true audiophily includes a good mic setup to also record your own high quality sounds to lsiten to.

iems are great though

make sure you follow zeos and get a anime background for foobar

>implying I'd want to listen to my voice

it improves your sound as your always looking at a cute girl

which makes everything isntnatly better

I've seen some of his videos

🤷

srlsy tho

http://noaudiophile.com/JBL_LSR305/

get these legendary memes

You may trashtalk about zoes how you want

Dude has a pretty cool setup

yeah

Having money does that

You know

im sure hes a cool dude

but eh his reviews arent my thing

Why don't you get money then ?

Being a rich degenerate posting anime bgs on the internet
Living the dream

I don't even know how to take his audio demos

you dont

his reviews are shit dont bother watching thme lol

How the fuck am I supposed to get a feel for the damn things if I'm wearing another pair of cans

I don't bother with him at all

This is shit I've dealt with time ago

depends how much $$$ you have tbh

Though it bothers me again now that he's been mentioned

if you had like 1000$+

id say just go to your audiophile dealer and rink some of ther cool aid

tyll headphone santa did good reviews

too bad he's retired

😢

Fuck

Why'd you have to tell me

tbh i just go off head fi tese days

best way is to just buy a bunch of headhpones/iems and find what sound sig you like

That's been my go-to

or audition them

Going to Head-fi, that is

thanks to chi-fi that doesnt have to be too expensived

Yeah, I'd rather have my brain explode, too

what

chi-fi wont make your brain explode

honestly if you don't have the money
