  Wow, I can't wait for animoji. So smart of Apple to offer something so useful that everyone never thought they would need.

    I eagerly await a company that can offer a truly superior experience to the iPhone, but Android and Windows Mobile aren’t it for me. I’m not buying the X though.

    I think there was a report few years back showing negative correlation between your CEO's house price and CEO's performance.

    Its stupid no matter what, because you have to pay extra for CBS all access. Why not just put it on TV, or even cable?

  Project Horizon quite good. Nothing like Ember. Will post quick comparison with MCTH and Vali later.

    When I get another bit of free time I should measure both the Ember and Project Horizon. I believe the these might be good representatives of Measures Good / Sounds Not So Good and Measures Not So Good / Sounds Good.

    So something/things good is/are coming in that time frame? Is that the mystery amp I have been hearing of, or something else? Dac, headphones, other?
    
    Sep 1, 2017
  3. Luckbad
    A bunch of Schiit is due for a refresh in that timeframe. Hopefully a Bifrost Multibit with the wonky mid-treble transition addressed and a Mojo 3. Maybe a Gungnir Multibit+ and Yggdrasil refresh.

    Just bought a Gungnir Multibit so it's constantly in the back of my mind. Hopefully whatever it is existing owners can upgrade

    Well, if it sucks, I'll go on long diatribe against AGD fanbois and never bother with AGD ever again, Schiit shills or not. We're putting our community money into this, which is more than any AGD fanboi has done for us.

    I've owned one previously, the sound is very colored and euphonic. Very well put together, loved the volume control. But the sound is not what I would call "high-fidelity".

  Realized how much I've grown to dislike NFL. Premier League contests are more exciting. Love how players who fail are benched the next game.

    @Marvey I've been wanting to say this for a while: Hyping cheap chi-fi shit is one of my least favorite head-fi things that happens here. I asked the guy trying to hype a "revolutionary" $40 iem to change the title of his thread a while back. He did and realized the issue, but I'd love to see a more formal take against it, please.

    @TheIceman93 The amp is OK. Hit and miss might be a better way to describe it. It seems to really like my modded HD650 (I mean, not the best, but pretty good!), but almost everything else, included other 300ohm stuff like the Eikon, aren't as good. Weird how that happens.
