modded COPs are my main headphones

and I hear differences BUT MY HONEST truth is i dont know if i can say ones better than the other

they are diffferent..

its hard to say

build an ABX box and test em

oh ye that sounds like a cool project

would the ABX box interfere with the sound ?

no

its literally just two cables with a switch

ok ill give it a shoot

ok sweeto

any recommendations?

unless you believe cables significantly change sound

na i dont think so

good

they dont

what do you mean reccomendations tho?

well as far as 400-500 dacs go i was maybe hoping to borrow someones peachtree itx and compare to my current shit

yep

any good kits on ali?

probably not

ok

its like $2 in parts at jaycar lol

all you need is 3 way switch and some wire

hm.......

tho you might also want a pot in series with both dacs unless they have the same line level out

you should build me one man

ive still gotta build myself one

i had one but lost it

along with my measurement rig

youve heard the MODI?

i had one

oh ok

what do you think of it

and what other dacs have you had experience with

its fine

nah, dacs dont do much to sound really

my carat topaz dac sounds similar to the modi

unless theyre faulty

but the x6 is more warm and less sterile sounding

i havent abx'd any tho so i cant say for sure
