It's the same headphone as this: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/nvx-audio-xpt100.20/

I don't think my reaction is any unique but who the heck are NVX Audio because I have honestly never heard of them before.

It's a good phone for new / poor / cheap audiophiles who can do simple mods.

Yes it sucks. Hinge is the best I've tried so far. It learns your taste and gets progressively more intelligent, which is a little disturbing

I haven't tried online dating myself, but I've heard enough that I stay away. I met my gf at a salsa dancing nightclub though, so maybe I'm not exactly a role model or the archetype of typical person

UPDATE: hit up a bunch of bars with a language exchange group in Madrid. Got the phone number of a bunch (yes you heard right, several) cute woman. It went really well! Old school dating is still the best. Screw this online dating shit (idk, at least it didn't work for me that is).

I don't write it.

my acoustic zen adagio speakers for 1800 bucks

Well I got Metrum Onyx here from @earnmyturns for $1100. May be the best deal I ever got on any Hifi device.

Easy: SBAF has saved me $1000's.

@shotgunshane How do you think they compare to the ER4SR?

I remember the SR treble and general clarity being a bit better but the XR bass and note weight more than making up for it.

If you end up finding the upper-mids bothersome in any way, Ety now sells a what it calls a "tuning kit" of filters. In any case, enjoy!

yep, DIY is king, audio is far from rocket science.

I will post impressions later in the ifi zen sig thread. Gotta listen more first. It's good from so many POVs (especially value for EU based folks).

Congrat. That's really a great dac for sub-1k territory. Can create much more expensive sounding than it actually costs.

I'm old that it took me a moment to remember the DACMagic.

Now that's a name i haven't heard in a long time...

I heard it once... don't recall when...

But no DT800? and it's heavier which seems kinda counter to their attempt to make it more sensitive/portable friendly

The utopia + $200 to spend on building a system.

hd650, utopia will tell you everything wrong and right with the latter. But it should scale more in the long term

The Utopia stack, although if we're talking HD600 I would go for that instead.

I saw that this morning and was wondering if anyone has heard one. I might move my Jot 2 now that I have my SW51 and it would be nice if this sounded good enough to use the Jot 2 as an all in one.

Whoa! Consequence of the AKM factory

The Unison and USB-C are super improvements as well.

I really liked the ZenDAC I tried (V1) especially for the price at the time.

The SW51+ you mentioned as being on your radar (in the all-purpose thread) is the polar opposite; it's all emotion - love, tears of joy, giddy happiness...

To quote Hellraiser, “We have such sights to show you!” ;)

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens (points for naming this one too).

Not to decry trying lots of gear and meeting lots of people. Yes, it is fun and interesting. It isn't necessary to buy it all if there are meets. I wouldn't have the 'phones I have now if it wasn't for a fellow member.
