I want to see this faggot's setup with MBP2016 and all the dongles.

a few thousand dollars arent even money anymore user

yes and no.

the set up looks more excessive than it is.

looks like a high end DAC, and an high end tube amp.


but the choosing of a tube amp and the over shielded cables are signs of autism.

those cables are looking sorta flimsy

Considering his hearing wouldn't be good enough anymore to notice differences in audio quality it is massive overkill.

>MBP2016

My Brony Pony 2016? Im one of those too, I setup the con actually, can we chat?

Underrated

What is he listening to?

192kpbs fake flac
danger music

>mfw i just use magni/modi v1 to power my HD800

I'm cringing

t. Type 0

The big joke is those tiers all contain the same music except the so-called high tiers use bigger and more obscure names.

>Inuit throat singing

what the actual fuck did I just watch

Have you never heard throat singing before?
It's pretty cool, but difficult.
I took a class on it 2 years ago, and failed.

> tfw a 15 years old with apple earbuds can hear more detail than he with his thousands of dollars worth of equipment
Hold me bros. I'm getting old and don't want to lose my hearing.

No it's not, shit headphone taste tho.

cables are overkill

no it's "i have no idea what i am doing" setup. and yes i know that's not his.

fuck you stop posting this cancer. it's one of those images which i think(and certainly hope) was made to be a bait but you can never find out for sure and it bothers me.

>just
given how simple load hd 800 is and how powerful and capable magni is, that would be an "overkill" of sorts for the headphones.

When u consciously go out of ur way to listen to music with hq audio its very accurate. The higher you go the more obscure the music until eventually there isnt even a melody and just an asortment of sounds that your brain will somehow after years of listening make sense of

>TFW you have to balance your audio because you fucked one of your ears on some night out that wasn't even good.

:(

Dem cables look just like the hoses on the back of my washing machine.

>not using audiophile-grade hoses to wash the clothes that you're gonna wear whilel istening to music

I bet you don't even have audiophile-grade RAM or USB ports in your computer.

I'm sold, tell me more, how!

probably just the power conditioner and the cables

Bruno Mars

Sup Forums is such a fucking piece of shit board.

those cables probably cost more than my entire stereo system

Don't forget your audio rocks for supurb listening experience!

This

Strong contender for worst board on this entire site

>He said while posting on Sup Forums

This is me when I'm listening to NPR.

i recall reading one guy who replaced all the wiring inside his amp with silver wires, and also had all the electrical wiring in his house replaced with special audiophile electrical wiring to ensure a consistent power supply. audiophiles are bonkers

dont forget the cable risers

MUH SIGNAL PURITY

no isolation pads underneath the risers? pleb tier

Isn't that just cable management? Pretty autistic.

I guess they measure the sound output from the headphones to verify that all this shit works and its not somthing they imagine

4/10

they're called cable elevators

and yes they make a difference

looks like a big 'ol snek

ayy

>network or modem cable on the right
is that a hotel room?

Who has the gif/webm/video of the guy looking like he's in pain because of the headphones?

getting clean power is important, but how is that thing supposed to help?

...

>mfw im type 6 because Salsa isnt on there.

i noticed that too. maybe it was a demo set up in a hotel suite at a convention

>Take us to your leader!

who plugs a whale penis into a wall?

a gay whale?

someone please post the edit with the foobar window and it says converted using a mp3 to flac website

>power cord is thicker than audio cord
>power cord is thicker than garden hose

it should be illegal to be this stupid

These threads make me feel bad about preferring losses music files. Storage is cheap and I'd rather have the original file over some compressed shit of questionable source. The cringe is real though.

It's more about archival purposes, my ears are pretty shit anyway.

>doesn't even have a wave cone

criminally stupid

It reads like that deep web marianas trench image, but it seems like all of those are real things. Impressive.

lol, wtf is that meme

100% accurate chart senpai

no

is he ok?
he better call suicide watch.

We don't know desu...

...

>not using noise-cancelling foam on walls for maximum open headphones clarity
>not using psx for cd playback
this guy setup isn't bad at all, but he definitely could do better

for fucks sake does any of that shit really make a difference?

eurobeat
tier 7

No, I like to be able to hear every time the drummer farts.

No, placebophiles are the biggest suckers on the planet besides homeopaths.

>all that equipment
>to connect to a tinny piece of shit that pierces your eardrums with 20db 8khz waves
lmaoo

It does. People who don't believe that have either insufficient hearing abilities, never used really good audio hardware, or are plain dumb and think it's funny to spread misinformation because LE MEME XD I'M SMART.

>capcha "ROAD CHES"
Fairly accurate description of euro beat I'd say

I never get why musique concrete or throat singing are always put in the super high/low tiers on these images when both those are more or less strange but normal music.

Seconding this

lmfao these fucking audiophile dorks spend more on listening equipment than the people making music nowadays. I know big name producers that have mastered tracks on ipod earphones that turned out some amazing mixes.

MBP = Mac Book Pro

thicc snek

someone post the webM of that guy cringing listening to an Ipod

do

do people buy this

The best one desu

Why is this guy is Sup Forums's placebo mascot?

>I want to see this faggot's setup
But it isn't even his.

It is a Head-Fi trade show.

>besides homeopaths.
It basically is, when you get to the "feel good" tweaks they sometimes offer.

>Considering his hearing wouldn't be good enough anymore
-No one has that kind of hearing.
-The age isn't the biggest discriminator of ability to discern sound.

Remove everything between the headphones and computer and you have a good setup. If your computer has really audibly shit audio, get some basic sub-$300 DAC/amp.

>Xenharmonicism
Brendan Byrnes' Micropangaea actually sounds pretty cool on the HD800's, all my other headphones have trouble reproducing the wall of sound.

What's so funny about throat singing and classical Asian music?

All composers in that picture broke the conventions of their time. Thats how you advance.

eirobeat is true ascension.

I see literally 2 cables coming out of the macbook. So you will see 2 1cm extensions. Pretty underwhelming, hm?

The fuck is drone and doom metal?

Your question is lacking a pronoun.
"What the fuck is Drone and Doom Metal?"

Drone music,[3][4] drone-based music,[5] or simply drone, is a minimalist musical genre[1] that emphasizes the use of sustained or repeated sounds, notes, or tone-clusters – called drones. It is typically characterized by lengthy audio programs with relatively slight harmonic variations throughout each piece. La Monte Young, one of its 1960s originators, defined it in 2000 as "the sustained tone branch of minimalism"

DESU it sounds like most 2000s anime opening themes... Nothing wrong with this. If you're looking for real autism give east European jumpstyle a go. God tier euro rave/trance - > almost anything on the love parade compilation

I know what it is I just wanted to know which tier of autism it is...

He's 90
Let him be

I think my motherboard has this but thats certainly not the reason I bought it

>I know what it is I just wanted to know which tier of autism it is...
Then "where" was the pronoun you're looking for.

Miles, coltrane, the list goes on..

Poor guy had to use make do cables for electric train because he forgot his normal ones.
