So far, the sound seems surprisingly way more ok than I was ready for. Maybe compensation bias rebounded from initial setup frustration..

LOL, confirm that in the review post.

Who wants a ui on a dac anyway. Just more stuff to obsess over, input selector, maybe phase and that’s it. Same reason i don’t like gear with too many tubes.

I honestly don’t know if the pandemic will really end Americans are too stupid.

@rhythmdevils All the restrictions are off in my state. Basically, get the vaccine and good luck.

Yeah get the vaccine. That’s the hard part. Because half of Americans think it shoves a micro chip up their ass. Or creates infectious miscarriages. :0

My wife bought a PS5 to play RE Biohazard. We enjoyed some older versions on a borrowed PS3 years ago. Now our TV is so big that playing gave her motion sickness. She sold the PS5.

@penguins I think with the newer engine, and increased moving speed (over RE7), the experience will be a lot better than RE4. But the point is we can't still side step -- we need to choose to either run away wo seeing enemies or take time to aim them. Sometimes it feels like the crux of this genre is to leave enough stress to players lol.

@gixxerwimp Isn't buying her a smaller screen for ps5 only more productive?

We have a smaller screen in the bedroom, but she'd rather not play there and nowhere to put the PS5 (small Asian-size apartment). Better for me as my monopoly over the living room continues ... hehe

Maybe he has another child named Hardon :-D

It is impossible to do an accurate comparison between the 650 and 600 without using the exact same earpads on both given how much the earpads impact FR. Its very annoying to see these kind of comparisons when they dont reveal how worn the earpads are.

Well, fuck. They really showed me for ever thinking I heard (and, you know, measured) differences between the HD600 and HD650.

So far it does feel likes dark fantasy adventure, rather than survival horror.

I was hoping those prices were a place holder. Lol premium electrostats for 50 bucks Lol

Was there an actual update somewhere? The website looks the same as it did a couple months ago in the thread you posted.

I thought it new as shared by songmic hours ago. Hmm. Looking forward to hearing status soon.

seems like ETA cans tend to have that effect. :p

My ESX review was 1,377 words. If we're counting.

I'd just make sure this. I am not particularly upset with long essay per se. But from my experience (and specifically in my writing process), too many words are caused by (1) redundant statements (int+ext) and (2) lack of control/flow/focus..

So when facing long reviews, I used to skim or rush to tldr or wrap up parts unless there are great themes or overarching narrative.

What I was offered: (1) different front colors to try, (2) newer board/circuit revision. Both without additional charges.

Needless to say, excited with #2!

They also pay for shipping both ways for things on warranty. Lovely. But not every company (even good one) does this.

Geshelli is the second coming of Schiit... great company.

Seeing EHR updated by the nurse, quickly thought of which tables and fields the program was pulling from. lol.

The loaner review will be written as a viewpoint of such a potential shopper. Things pushed myself to vs pulled from the purchase.

FYR as per Evan's explanation, I immediately taped on all the four perforations. Wanted to verify previous reviews ahead of new mod's evaluation.

F me, why does untaping four pores (per side) create this much change?

Yeah, that's why I had to check :).

Be careful, that way sanity lies

Of course agreed. In the name of sanity, my inner accountant often tries to destroy audio collections and protect/benefit my bank account!

It is a great attitude to take, ironic given that the J2 spanks a good chunk of the measurements r all that matters crowds dacs measurement wise :). Even managed to get rid of the ess hump that took the dacs being pushed by them so long to overcome.

Running the dac in current mode is interesting as well, I wonder what difference that makes.

"Our bright light was the absolutely beautiful sounding ESS Sabre series DAC chips."

Very poor choice of words :D...

I have had mine in the studio for a few days now (Thanks to Sheri at Geshelli). It's too early to make any kind of real assessment, but I will say I am enjoying it.

The flow quite makes sense to me too. Ethan (survival horror) -> Chris (souped up doom3 with DS3) -> Joe (hella fun puncher). I didn't like how Amnesia or Outlast ended, but RE7 as a whole was truly an engaging experience.

Hoof... and there you are, caught in the middle. Such a scandalous life you have found for yourself. To stand on that precipice is no minor affair.

I just hope you appreciate the danger in handling these things together. I hear they're like super magnets... get them too close, and there's a 6-9khz shock-wave right before they shoot into each other and explode in an opaque blot of flechettes. Might as well be dropping the top on a nuclear reactor!
