Analog 2 did not bifurcate by on time: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/schiit-yggdrasil-v2-upgrade-technical-measurements.5820/

Really bad timing, but I empathize for the workers. They are in risk of losing 30-50% of their income.

EVE Audio is completely new acquaintance for me, have to investigate further...

I used to own them and didn’t find them shrill/thin (though I always recommend a sub with bookshelf speakers), but I think they have both the “metallic” criticism and the imaging/tonality/detail praise that Clear also get. With a decent amp (even one of the budget 316bee NAD) and proper placement, they shouldn’t sound shrill: https://www.stereophile.com/content/kef-ls50-anniversary-model-loudspeaker-measurements

Eve audio it’s so smooth and sweet . Great speakers

In school days, we were forced to do written reports on this circus.
Have never since watched a single one.

I have to admit Iceland has something going on this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1HNhA-7OEU

The TV series

HEX's offer more romantic or "tubey" style sound. But they are less airy and a bit dark. Upper midrange is a tad recessed. Depending on the recording, timbre may be spot on with great amount of plankton, but sometimes they can sound a tad plasticky or papery too.

Focal Clear's offer better large scale dynamics. Sometimes microdynamics feel less pronounced than on HEX's. I still feel the overall amount of detail is quite similar., though the openness/airiness of Clear's might give them a slight edge (imagined or real, I can't say yet).

You beat me to it :))

The answer to my question on cskippy’s post is a resounding yes >.>

Like his hair style... where can I do it? Miami?

Cool. I would like to audition Focals in the future just for fun.

Yeah, post your impressions, I'd be curious how they compare. I've had the Elear and the Elex, which I ended up not keeping, and now I have an Ananda (same as Edition X) incoming. So far nothing is perfect dammit...

It has a pretty inoffensive easy to listen to sound, it's good but it's also a pretty old design at this point. It's essentially a BurrBrown 1792 dac in nice enclosure and with good psu. If you need a dac I'd say it's a good deal around Euro 500-600. Might be a good choice for classical, jazz etc. If you like rock and edm you might be happier with a second hand Gungnir Multibit, that one has more drive.

I don't really "need" a dac, but I stumbled across one very reasonably priced unit... Might as well give it a try.

Well, I don't have the HFM but the rest of the chain is top of the drawer

I have 3dB drop at 6000Hz. Audiologist says it’s from hunting when I was younger without hearing protection. It does make the 800 an easier listen I think.

4kHz - 6kHz dips are normal for hearing damage. I'm pretty sure I have a 5kHz dip. But 6kHz, indeed, great for HD800.

Listening to a stock HD 800 causes a threshold shift by itself :)

Not at all. All you need is [x] Wine [x] Gourmet food.
Jesus... those barbarians...

And like most trolls I've imagined to be like IRL, he was very, very quiet. Except for the "dindu nuffin" part.

Based on the evidence, judge took whole 5 minutes to consider whether he was quilty or not.

You run hollilla? Cool. :-)
