Never buy Schiit products.
>#1 recommended brand by reddit shills because hehe i get to say Shit
>owner thinks authoring a 140-chapter work of fiction about the company history makes up for garbage quality control, performance, and customer service

>Either they don't measure their DACs, don't care or don't know how to design a clean DAC.
>For me the biggest letdown with all of this is the major disservice Schiit and others are doing to the community. They are toting these frankly "shit" amps as power houses
>As we see, tons of jitter and distortion products are visible together with higher noise floor. Even the Topping D30 at $129 shipped runs circles around it in how clean its output is relative to Schiit BiFrost Multi-bit.

Idol trash here,
What's your setup like, user?
No feet, but decent OP regardless.
Ethan Jenkins

Noah Parker
The feet are implied
Jace Taylor
>fulla 2
i'm so sorry
Easton Harris
Every single fucking thing in that picture is a meme. You are pathetic.
Gavin Morgan
Either the Element or an NFB-11.28, but I wouldn't get either of those headphones
Caleb Hall
>Didn't actually throw away his schiits
>Has become a namefag without name
Lucas Lewis
I have an old o2+odac piece of shit... Should I throw it in the garbage?
Easton Howard
I have ath m50x right now, looking to replace them. i was thinking the hd 600's or hd 650's.

Anthony Richardson
micca origen g2
Mason Anderson
>Piece of shit
Elaborate fully.
Dylan Fisher
So what's everyone listening to?
Logan Barnes
I need my magni 3 measurements REEEEEEEEEEE
Adam Butler

it's on sale right now, too
Benjamin Torres
Friendly reminder to ignore this schizo.
Asher Lewis
What're they connected to?
Oliver Sanchez
found the schiill
Luke Peterson
Tyler King
old ass audio interface with super loud hissing whenever nothing's playing (Tascam US144)
just ordered a Behringer UMC204HD for the balanced output meme, seemed to measure well so I'll report back on it
Adam Jones
Name your non meme gear RIGHT NOW
Brayden Cox
lol
James Lee
It's not bad at all... for usb. I use it at work with the msr7.
Ethan Cruz

mixtape.moe isn't working, so here's a puush link
Justin Roberts
It's great unless you need to maintain the quality at higher volumes, especially using and EQ for example. It's a great accessible all in one, but not perfect.
William Thompson
These any good or do i just get msr7?
Jackson Sanders
What do you use to EQ? Software or hardware?
Andrew Allen
rationalization is actually very much healthy
Connor Harris
yeah, rationalization is healthy alright. it's the only way to not kill yourself if you have schiit products outside of the return window!
Oliver Ortiz
Schiit’s USB power implementations were/are garbage and they even admit it schiit.com
Except they only fix it on their placebo tier products so they can hawk the $100 Wyrd to unsuspecting marks. You would’ve been better off with a cheaper Fiio E10K.
Leo Myers
yes, of course
schiit only hits you because you misbehave
schiit loves you and wants the best for you
Anthony Scott
I'm quite happy with it though. It has the right set of features. The e10k is not as nifty, as it unfortunately lacks line-in.
Ian Reed
neither. takstar pro 82
Carter Gray
theyre 2 times less
Jaxon White
yup. do you even read /hpg/ at all?
Jeremiah Flores
Apo EQ is all you need as far as I'm concerned. I'm no expert, but I know just enough.
Isaiah Johnson
audio-technica is always the answer
Nathan Adams
That's not how you spell HD600.
Mason Powell
I don't even own or rate the fulla 2 but the e10k is not better at all lmao. It sounds thin and nasty in comparison. Are you the ant schiit troll? probably.
Easton Williams
???
its all hd600 shitposting so no i dont
Isaac Hernandez
>clean output sounds thin and nasty
audiosciencereview.com
not enough mobo power noise for the schiit shills
William Hughes
>Thin
It converts the audio with no change to the source.
Mason Edwards
I love my hd600s and theres nothing you can do about it!
youtu.be
Hunter Johnson
forgot my image
Benjamin Martin
Hudson Richardson
where can I buy kawaii toho plushies
Matthew Edwards
>owns hd600
>owns toys
I bet your own schiit products and consume soy
Jaxson Robinson
Not that person, but I bet you consume milk and have an unhealthy lifestyle.
Also, post your headphones.
Kevin Mitchell
Congratulations on owning the best sounding headphones known to man, user.
Aaron Flores
ah so the e10k is truly the end game amp+ ac lmoa. Pack it up everyone. No need to look int any other gear.
Connor Cruz
buddy you're trying to hard.
this should get you started
Gabriel Martin
yo wtf those plushies cost as much as my audio setup
Julian Smith
Is the e10k your man amp+dac lol?
Chase Walker
and now you realize that audio really isn't that expensive and hd600 owners are just poorfags
Dominic Gonzalez
having clean output is probably endgame if you're used to schiit garbage
Carson Perry
Kill yourself you autistic retard.
Camden Turner
Looking for cheap IEMs posted on amazon. Last time I bought zircons. Any recommendations?
Christopher Ramirez
I'm looking for a portable USB soundcard to drive my IEM's on computers with terrible sound output. I can't take hiss & bleep from the front panel header anymore. I found this
Jaxon Wilson
...
Luke Garcia
With no change on the FR*
Ryan Hill
Anyone here have the Soundmagic E10s?
How are they?
I'm looking for IEMs around the 50$ range
Ethan Moore
then what does that make you mr no headphones?
Gavin Myers
>Ignoring no measurements
Evan Lewis
The cheapest IEM worth buying is a vsonic gr07. Anything below that is a waste of money, everything above it until the etymotic er4sr is a waste of money.
Find another $50.
Asher Bell
bump!
Brayden Nguyen
That's the entire purpose of a DAC you autistic retard, to convert the audio without any chances to it. That's why people recommend 20 dollar chink shit, because it does just that. You're literally paying for name and maybe a metal box.
Parker Bell
A bloo a bloo!
Nathan Kelly
>he believes that $20 usb dac dacs are end game
fucking hell
Oliver Hernandez
>posting measurements that make me feel bad about my badly engineered and overpriced purchases means you must be a poorfag
postpurchase rationalization is wild.
Colton Hughes
you dont need to spend more than 40 on a dac
retards buying 100+$ dacs are the same retards that buy expensive cables
Thomas Brooks
The Chinese have grown to be a lot more skilled than we are. If poor products are made you can be sure it's on purpose.
David Sullivan
for those who care, just got back from CanJam, biggest and most crowded booth was Schitt.
If I wasn't convinced before I am now, There was a ton of snake oil, overpriced and overrated products. The best booth was the $149 bluetooth chinese bootleg trash headphones that sounded better then most of the $1000+ stuff.
Brayden Cook
I know, it's hilarious and only prooves that the majority of posters here do not have much exposure to different sources(and headphones usually too). It's like /mkg/ in that this general is also very "casual" and generally kinda misinformed. It's a shame because I much prefer this format of discussion without usernames to other websites.
Jose Carter
>Using the term end game un-ironically
>Also a dirty frog poster
>Also shilling for schiit
You just keep on digging your hole there, don't ya champ?
Landon Clark
people who use end-game think buying consumer goods is a hobby lmfao
fucking PATHETIC!!!!!!!!
Blake Sanders
What were the chinaphones that were so good?
Justin Butler
Most people on here love to think that they're red pilled in the audio sense. In reality they're retards with entry level gear
Oliver Rogers
Of course. God fuck schiit I'm going to go fuck with them next year.
Their stuff is so bad
>bimby
>10 bits of resolution lmao!
Jacob Cooper
>Using 20$ chink dacs un-ironically
You ok over there? AHAHAHAHAHA. Fucking faggot. Go buy another o2 amp you red pilled fedora sporting piece of shit
Eli Gray
>if you haven't spent six million dollars on snake oil you're not qualified to understand basic electrical engineering concepts
Samuel Watson
No, I don't use them, you ESL. I said
>That's why people recommend them
Nathan Collins
You know you don't have to buy just to try right?
Landon Torres
Same can be said about $1000 cables. I understand basic EE and psychoacoustics. You don't.
Ryan Gutierrez
Then you would know that high quality source gear is important.
Noah Thomas
It is, and its also VERY cheap. As in under $200.
Benjamin Gonzalez
magic audio feelies don't negate factual measurements
Adam Rogers
...
Easton King
Is that a marble case? What is that? Those tubes part of it?
Juan Cruz
m&o Electronics The guy was hilarious, his booth was completely empty but there he was pitching these shit cans telling passerbys to stop playing teams and try his headphones. Turns out I thought they were as good as mdr z7.
Joseph Morales
Wait, just reverse searched He-1. The headphones come with an amp?
Gabriel Harris
I call BS. But since you're auditioning them... how do they sound?
Carter Gutierrez
Anybody own one of these? Just ordered one.
Joshua Rodriguez
Timestamp and receipt and I will suck your dick and crown you king of /hpg/
Matthew Edwards
>unbalanced
Not PC.
PC is single-ended.
Unbalanced sounds like it's a bad thing.
