usb power is pretty gross a lot of the time tbh
Q1 is like the portable version with a battery iirc
if you were to get your first headphone amp/dac then you should get a USB powred one
so that when you upgrade, your old unit is for travel
i was gonna get a Q1 but i got one of these fuckers
ah ye you told me
ohh i had an AUNE t1 in the past
used it for 1 year ish then returned it to massdrop
actually i think i made money too
cos the exchange rate differences
Pretty lit looking amp tbh
the Z1?
Wait is that a DAC or an amp
The title says it's everything
<:thonk:288060975775612929>
the Z1 is a DAP and a DAC/amp
can be used just off an SD card
or via USB
im gonna strap it to my phone
might experiment with op-amp rolling it
Are the SHP9500 still being made?
ye
technically SHP9500S now
since they made a new version with a different cable
and maybe some other shit i dunno about
9500's arent that good tho tbh
I had the HD598SE before I got the X2s
neither are x2's imo but im a player hatin whore
How do the 9500 compare to the 598?
much more treble grain
less comfortable
images better but worse soundstage
removable cable tho which is nice
slightly colder in tonality
ive got shp9500w
9500s*
i like em
ive never tried the 598s or anything
i should walk into the headphone shop and try these things tbh
