So, for @fraggler, it's barometric pressure. Anyone else discovered their migraine trigger? Unsure of this, but mine might be dehydration. As in, not really, I've had the real thing, but simply not taking quite enough fluid.

Long time back, a friend of mine kept a food diary for ages to discover that it was a combination of chocolate and orange that set hers off.

Thank you all <3.

As of the triggers mine are really random. Stress or loud sounds and bright lights are the common offenders.

Other times are very random and usually they're the worst because I don't know the cause to cease or prevent it. Prevention is the key with migraine as I learned the hard way :D .

Sometimes i have those. Wish you health

Nope. I'm still confused.

Most people object to *lossy* compressed. And it can be objectionable.

Compressed, but lossless... same music comes out as went in. Not audio science, computer science.

Uncompressed... same as lossless compressed but huge files. But a computer-audiophile creature might find fictional reasons that it is better and /doesn't/ make anybody's head hurt.

@Thad E Ginathom No no I meant not dynamic range compressed. The audiophile recordings and stuff, like Chesky recordings for example.
When things get very loud and quiet too often is really fatiguing to my head.

Lossless files like FLAC is actually less fatiguing as I find them noticeably smoother than lossy stuff.

Oh, /that/ compression! Sure. Sorry.

Most of us, though, want less of that compression and more dynamic range. Even if it does mean more volume fiddling.

Mind you, I hate that superaudiophile-recording thing where you can tell when the guitarist last cut his nails.

Yeah those starving people on the streets and in 3rd world countries seem totally relaxed.

Then why am I so hangry at work when things get busy and I forget to have lunch?

@Melvillian because you forgot to have lunch :).

That was not the search bar!

I like them big and bouncy.

Uncultured swine. Anime butts win by far!

Which dac? The 9038 doesn't exhibit the Sabre glare.

@famish99 I meant the edginess in a literal sense. It's not smooth and rounded like the AKM I used to listen to. It's the new smsl su-9, 9038 pro based.

Yeah I find all of Velvet Sound AKM DACs too smooth so it's good to try different things.

Heaps of music I don't like. No more ashamed of that than of the music I do like. Wait... I might be a little bit ashamed of some of the music I do like :)

??? Kashmir? If I google that I'm going to have to wade through 20 pages that have nothing to do with music

Kashmir by Led Zeppelin, unless I'm mistaken. My jibe above was in reference to my least favourite LZ album: "In Through the Out Door"

Thanks. I should know it but... will have to go see.

I didn't meant boot in a literal way, I meant running the OS off an hdd.

Yeah Linux is an exception.

It's my rule :)

Not saying that I wouldn't love it if pics came up in my photo-editing software super-instant. But hey, the PC is ten years old, so the disc is not the only factor. And I use WD Black, which are noticably quicker.

@Vtory That's right. It just other (non chifi) alternatives are way more expensive. Things on Aliexpress avoid %20 tax and shipping costs (~$70-$110) (Aliexpress provide free express shipping to my country on things costing >$90).

If @schiit lunched the Yggdrasil 2 it would be an easy choice to skip mid tier stuff.

It sounds like you just need to have something no matter what. I know what that urge feels like. Eventually I learned that if I just wait it out the urge will pass. You already know you'll move the SU-9 on it's way, and if you buy it you'll just wonder what the Bifrost would have been like. ..and then you'll buy it eventually. Skip the SU-9 and save your money 'til you can get the Bifrost.

Buy nice or upgrade twice

Is such a thing even possible?

idk if it's specific to my account or for all users.

7.5khz peak on the measurements posted above kind of has me worried. Angled pads > angled drivers. Angled drivers just a recipe for all sorts of weird reflections.

Also note he’s using a Topping stack while claiming the 560S outresolves the 6XX lol I really don’t think these youtubers heard the 6xx/600 on a good tube amp

My Senn rep shared some measurements back with me few months ago, not sure if I can share it officially. But the Senn rep was saying the goal on the HD560S was to roughly be the HD650 with extension to 40hz and little more even at 5k. Theirs didn't have a 7k peak.

We should be getting some soon and I was looking to send one off to Marv.
