HD660s a best.
Topping DX7S a best.
Why don't you have the best set up on it's way to you user?
Gabriel Murphy
Good OP.
Robert Foster
What's everyone listening to?
Andrew Anderson
>HD660s a best.
Overpriced garbage. Costs more than an L300 and a used HD800 and sounds like a worse version of an already overpriced headphone (HD600).
>Topping DX7S a best.
Inplying you can even hear the difference between the OL DAC and this garbage. Overpriced chinkshit for autistic "muh components" faggots.
>Why don't you have the best set up on it's way to you user?
I ordered STAX, so I have the best setup on its way to me.

What kind of headphone enthusiast are you lol

you should be jealous of people who like animes you think are shit. I wish I had shit taste so I could enjoy everything better instead of being a depressing asswipe like yourself
Adam King
The one and only good K-on meme.
Cameron Myers
same goes for audiophoolery
I wish I was an audiophool and believed I could hear magic improvements in a $1000 benchmark dac amp
Leo Jones
>What kind of headphone enthusiast are you lol
I'm the "one-does-all" kind. I like flat, uncolored sound. There's no reason for me to buy multiple pair of headphones.
>"I'm too poor to afford a nice dac and amp"
Am I ? Linear flat, transparent without audible flaws like distortion and jittering-inducing features gear is cheap.
Sure you can buy a balanced DAC that measures well. Or you can realize that non of this matters at all by doing a blind test on gear that measures well at different price points and base your purchases on that.
Cameron Rogers
what a stupid comparison. one is entertainment and the other is measureable.
Levi Harris
feet user would disagree
Gabriel Murphy
These arguments are some hot cancer. post 9/11 anime is trash. A Benchmark DAC3 HGC is a great DAC/amp.
Landon Long
did you just steal my cirno meme
youtube.com
I need to get myself a telecaster to become a math rock musician too
Alexander Gray
Measured to be audibly equivalent to an O2/ODAC :)
Nathan Butler
>you should be jealous of people who like animes you think are shit. I wish I had shit taste so I could enjoy everything better instead of being a depressing asswipe like yourself
I'm not going to pretend anime is some kind of grand art or anything. It never was. But it was kinda fun entertainment in the past, while we're now drowning in absolutely shitty cute girls moeblobs and some random mediocre shonens in between.
If there's anyone who's depressing, it is not me, who despise this shit, but the people who enabled the utter wasteland that is modern anime.
Joshua Hill
kys
Carter Lee
It's a great money sink, if you want to waste something to the tune of $800 on zero audible improvement.
Blake Phillips
>it is not me, who despise this shit, but the people who enabled the utter wasteland that is modern anime.
yeah, native otakus in japan. so get on their ass. they drive the market, not 4channers you stupid fuck
Logan Gonzalez
>kys
Nice ebonics.
Bit more than $800. It's the best performing DAC on the market. One of the best AMPs also.
>zero audible improvement.
Just wrong.
Sebastian Hughes
neck yourself
Jace Jackson
you're the hd600 + dac3 owner, correct?
Dylan Evans
>Just wrong.
Prove, using blind testing, that there is an audible difference between an O2/ODAC and your benchmark snake oil. Oh what's that? You can't? Something about magic rocks? Oh, user.
Leo Clark
>hd600 + dac3
No way someone is retarded enough to buy a $2k DAC with an HD600. No way. I can't believe this.
Adam Rivera
Heard the 600, heard the 650, heard the 660
the 660 is the best
also never heard two amps that sound the same
u peeple r dehulusional
Nathaniel Thomas
Oh you better believe it ;). And this bad boy will call your taste in anime Reddit. He's kind of a badass, watch out.
Matthew Flores
>also never heard two amps that sound the same
Christian Richardson
...
Carter Bennett
yeah, he sold his hd800 for an hd600 and makes fun of people for not owning speakers
Jace Roberts
No I own HD800S.
>Muh blind test
I have my own ears. You can tell the different the second you turn on the DAC3 HGC and hear the volume pot spin.
Oliver Ortiz
oh lol it's this guy
Nathan Mitchell
I own msr7s i use regularly with my phone.. i hear alot of talk of DACs and was wondering should i buy one? And which one? Also is the sound quality difference huge?
Sebastian Reyes
>excuses
Aww user, you realize that your subpar ears aren't proof, right? I can hear the difference magic rocks make too.
Kayden Cox
>CAREFREE ENJOYMENT: I’ve been listening almost exclusively to the ODAC for several weeks now and I’ve been smiling a lot—not so much at the ODAC but at the music. When you know your audio gear is genuinely transparent it opens a worry-free window into the music. And, while I suffer from expectation bias just like everyone else, I’ve run a second blind listening test and can report the O2+ODAC held its own against the $1600 Benchmark DAC1. They both are audibly transparent.
People who actually blind tested Benchmark's stuff vs well made cheap DACs couldn't hear a difference. That was the DAC1 but I doubt anything major changed since then.
Lincoln Rivera
Are the measurements fake too user? You know the ones that are better than your O2/ODAC.
Joshua Bailey
>HD800S
the doujin stack user? you kidding me?
Sebastian Powell
This is a different user....
Chase Gray
No, the measurements are right. The benchmark measures better. It doesn't mean it sounds better.
Noah Nelson
Of course not user. But my pure gold wire measures better than your wire, and I'll sell it to you for the low low price of $10000000. You interested?
Nolan Ramirez
think this is the guy with the Launch fig
Dylan Brown
>The benchmark measures better. It doesn't mean it sounds better.
You know Benchmark has a pretty good return policy? I could had returned it if I wasn't happy. But I didn't.
Adam Reyes
Why are you so scared of acknowledging the truth? It's easy to find some schmuck to buy your secondhand snake oil.
Ethan Nelson
>Why are you so scared of acknowledging the truth?
Well Benchmark isn't snake oil. Sorry you think otherwise. Other DACs are fine. They're just not the DAC3.
Owen Collins
Silly user, just because you say it isn't snake oil and so fervently want to convince yourself it isn't snake oil, it is, in fact, snake oil. Very unfortunate for you.
Dylan Walker
sounds like you worked yourself into a shoot, mark

AKG 240, dont like that they leak sound and don't block noise very well. Also the long cord is a hassle.
Josiah Watson
So snake oil is when you like something because it's better and that something has the company and measurements to proves it's better?
Sebastian Martinez
Better in what way? Certainly not audibly better. Unless you have the double blind test to prove it. Which, unfortunately, you do not, because it isn't audibly better. Better luck next time, user!
Ryder Wright
what phone is dis
Kayden Bailey
Daily reminder that 200+$ open headphones are a meme because you can get something like lsr305 instead.
James Wood
SMSL iDEA + MSR7/Takstar Pro 82
Alexander Williams

No headphone has ever had an actual double blind test. Stick to words you actually understand.
Mason Wood
Daily reminder that you can't because mommy refused to bump up your allowance.

Whoa, I didn't know the Benchmark DAC3 was a headphone. I guess you learn something new every day.

Strong claims need strong proof. And proving a negative is all but impossible.
Connor Reyes
No I said headphone because I'm aware of double blind tests involving speakers.
Nolan Perry
garbage for fashionistas
Evan Flores
The measurements are on the Benchmark website. Feel free to look.
Hudson James
t. fell for the hd600 meme
Jason Martinez
Excellent deflection. Just sell the snake oil, friend. You'll be happier without it.
Liam White
>MSR7
Doesn't need an amp. Don't bother with the SMSL.
Takstar Pro 82 probably doesn't need an amp either. I don't own it so I dunno.
Nathan Baker
...
Levi Sanders
SMSL is still a clean and portable DAC, probably a better option than listening to a laptop's headphone out.
Christian Butler
Would getting real lather pads like those sheepskin brainwavz for msr7 change the sound?
Kayden Martinez
Not selling anything. You can be happy with your O2/ODAC.
Christian Lewis
Of course you're not, you're still in the denial phase. Hopefully you'll come around to the truth eventually. Good luck user!
Lucas Scott
Ok user.
David Robinson

By the way, do you have any Reddit anime to recommend me? I'm thinking of expanding my horizons.
Luke Gutierrez

I don't watch much anime past the early 2000s.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Give me some recommendations, please.
Henry Clark
I don't know of anything for a reddit fan.
Luke Cooper
Sure you do, just tell me all of your favorite shows. Don't be so stingy.
Wyatt Gray
Start with Gunsmith cats.
Grayson Wright
Is this yuri?
Joseph Butler
No.
Carter Reed
Well, it's a start. Got any others?
Nolan Hughes
Slayers can be good. Gundam Wing is bit of heresy to like I think still but I like it. Excel Saga is a good comedy. And you have all your well known series. Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Tenchi, Inuyasha, etc.
Alexander Thomas
I hope you are being ironic
Nathaniel Murphy
Excel Saga is unironically good.
Inuyasha is just awful repetitive garbage, can't believe I watched some two hundred episodes of that shit.
Jonathan Allen

I love it. Guilty pleasure I guess. The movies have some nice artwork.
What's wrong?
Jacob Allen
>t. fell for being a child and not having income meme
lmao pathetic response geegee
Adam Brown
The most pathetic thing about it is that it's true.
Leo Barnes
>an already overpriced headphone (HD600)
Incorrect. HD600, the best headphones in the world, wouldn't be overpriced at $3,000.
Carter Reed
>wouldn't be overpriced at $3,000.
nah they'd be overpriced even at $10
Luke Rivera
I'm just surprised you claim recent anime is garbage but then list some trash as your favorites. You couldn't even be considered an anime watcher. That's some normie shit and you try to tell people they have reddit taste
Ian Taylor
Disregard eras, any anime watcher should have tried GitS: SAC, Baccano, Jormungand, Shinsekai Yori, Seirei no Moribito, xxxHOLIC, Black Lagoon, Kino no Tabi, Berserk (the manga is better though), Hellsing.
Asher Mitchell
Being young is bad now?
You wish you were young faggot. And if I had money I'd buy speakers not fall for hd600 shills like you
Isaac Perez

Disregard eras, any anime watcher should have tried Lucky Star, Azumanga Daioh, K-ON, GochiUsa, Kiniro Mosaic, Candy Boy, Love Live, Manabi Drop, Yuru Yuri, Ichigo marshiemallow.
Liam Russell
>Being young is bad now?
Acting like retard is bad.
> And if I had money I'd buy speakers not fall for hd600 shills like you
Then get a job at McDonalds you retarded child and buy those speakers you keep dreaming about.
Parker Sullivan
Try watching some actual anime's from the pre-2000 instead of some cartoon network shit before you try to make fun of post-2000 anime watchers
