        I think there is some serious issue with A300 if we have to disable all those Sony sound processing for it to work.

        I agree but it seems the software is internationally gimping the hardware. Sounds like the iPad

        Imagine how the poor hardware engineers at Sony feel.. They've done amazing work, time and time again, only to have it obscured from the users and clouded by marketing gibberish.

        Long time fan of Sony DAP here. SQ aside the battery life of Walkman series is very good and Shanling comes close to Sony as far as SQ goes. Musicality and smooth treble.

        Have you also considered the Alienware 34" ultrawide QD-OLED? The colors are amazing, and it's not as huge on your desk as a 42" TV.

        @bixby 1 more hour Lol. I don't get why anyone needs a 799 apple watch, that doesn't give any real functionality. I admit their products work well, but they make sure its gimped, so they can offer a solution in their ecosystem, which is also gimped.

        Does the singular function well, but yeah....a singular phone is probably the furthest I will go with apple, and that shit is annoying with lightning cable speeds and having to convert lossless files to alac to use itunes to "sync" in 2022. Getting a file on and off your phone is such a pain in the ass....oh wait...use airdrop and subscribe to APPLE CLOUD! which only really works with our other products.....no thanks

        It was like a teenage boy's version of Batman, or a film student who likes everything super dark without understanding story or character development. This is the Batman I would've made when I was a brooding 15 year old.

        I’m also using sinc-mx and LNS15 with 4x max oversampling. I based my config on GoldenSound’s recommendations for the Holo Spring. I’ll have to try your recs as well.

        There are grade A peak Expanse moments in S6 (OMG, the Liang Walker/Drummer interaction, for example), but overall it's making me nervous that it'll be a disappointing end to an amazing show.

        So often it's better to end something before the fans want it to end. Firefly got this right. Arrested Development's last season was soooooo bad. The last Murderbot Diaries book shouldn't have been published. Sometimes you serve your fans by not giving them the last book/season/etc.

        @Cellist88 they're single dynamic drivers so their impedance profile is almost certainly (almost) dead flat.

        That's what i thought too since its not a BA iem, but it just sounds so different from the iphone dongle vs the Note 9, tonal balance wise. Iphone tonality also is thicker than the phonitor, which has output impedance of .18.

        Call me deaf but I actually don't think IEMs are particularly worse than headphones when it comes to presenting headstage. Could just be my pinnae being weird but while nothing is quite like speakers, there are some IEMs from the like of CA, Final, or even FitEar that don't fall on their faces in the presence of headphones, even the HD800 and variants.

        Or maybe I should say empire was as I remembered it, but return held up better than I remembered. The cuddly bears didn't bother me quite as much, most of the main cast had obviously gotten acting coaches, etc

        I can't agree with that. She just sounds like a mix of D'angelo, Whitney Houston, and talking singing like Florence + the Machine. She literally sings like 10 pitches per song, while just talking. There is no development, and literally stays the same from beginning to end. If you take the lyrics out, literally trash tier music for me. Reminds me of Norah Jones when she sang Tragedy.

        That's exactly the point: her choices here are weird AF, bro, especially given her past output. I can appreciate how she pushed herself somewhere different. It's amazing how difficult it is for humans to choose change and I applaud it, even if the results aren't my cup of tea.

        Just finished Adele-30. My disdain for the album started with the shards of glass flying off the massed strings in the 1st track, the annoying gimmicks and then the harsh squawking background vocals. At least the 2nd half was a bit easier to take, but not enough for a repeat play.
