Currawong Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Much of the argument about measurements would be negated if people actually knew how much processing went into most music, including adding distortion. The discussion of brand fans is interesting. Personally, I'm a fan of designers and companies that make products with the honest intent to enjoy music, even if the different approaches can be very contradictory. For example, I could readily see myself owning both Audio Note and Chord gear at the same time. lucretius 1 Link to comment

Connecting my IEMs to the headphone output and switching between the volume controls without anything playing, the noise floor with the digital very audibly increases. Does the Bridge cut off output when nothing is playing? I had this issue when testing DAPs for noise, which I do with Campfire Andromedas, as they are very sensitive. Since they save battery by cutting off the amp circuit when nothing is playing, I play a track of silence to ensure the amp circuit is switched on. 10 hours ago, cab33 said: But which filter one uses can be based on subjective preferences. As a Subjectivist, I find that sharing subjective impressions with others can be beneficial if there is a group of people who prefer a certain type of sound, even if it is not accurate. The reality is, everyone is a subjectivist. A so-called audio objectivist is just someone who prefers the subjective appeal of how something measures over how the music sounds using it for playback. 5 hours ago, JoshM said: As said above, he obviously figured out early on that slamming “audiophile” brands (except ones he sells) and hyping cheap products was the path to attention and donations, and he’s followed that ever since. Right now he’s claiming he knows more about designing headphones than Abyss’s engineers. I’m not a huge Abyss fan, but at a certain point an ego of that size becomes horrifically comical. He also claimed to know better than the Audio Precision engineers at one point too. It'd be comical if he didn't have such an influence in the hobby. Superdad and charlesphoto 1 1 Link to comment
