    Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp

    See that's my problem, if I need all of that, I'll just use my FiiO amp...

    Focal Clear headphones

    I think overall sound signature, they are incredibly similar, but the Clear has more punch and slam. The 800S pulls ahead in soundstage, listening to orchestra on the 800S is the equivalent of being there.

    Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp

    I did! Listening to an album drains it so quickly. I can't really do more than 64 because even with a DDHifi cable it clips.

    Focal Clear headphones

    More initial impressions: Earlier I was running these off of the Woo Tube Mini, I am currently jamming the FiiO Q15, and while the punch is more subdued, the Clear are very effortless. Not my 800S, but close.

    Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp

    I love the sound, absolutely stunning from a dongle. But the amount of trade offs is a bit exhausting, plus the power draw…considering selling mine. It drinks my 14 Pro’s battery like an alcoholic doing Jager shots

    Focal Clear headphones

    I'm going to look into pad swapping, I've heard that!

    Focal Clear headphones

    Early impressions...well, certainly not disappointed off of the Tube Mini. Only listened to AiC's Jar of Flies (my test album), but quite impressive.

    Focal Clear headphones

    Never listened to the OG, I had the 2022. I'll be the first to admit, I'm looking for colored sound, usually. With the exception of my 800s and the Clear (which come today, yay)

    Focal Clear headphones

    They were indeed amazing, but I think a bit too transparent and clinical, as dumb as that sounds.

    Focal Clear headphones

    Just grabbed myself a pair of Clears for $700. Never listened tot hem before. I had the Utopia 22s which were amazing but so overpriced, so I'm curious to give the open back Focals another shot.

    ZMF BOKEH - Closed Back (Semi-Portable)

    Blasting some shoegaze on these off of my FiiO, quite insane how much punch these have at 70.

    Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000

    I sold mine for $1500, fyi. Took a loss, but just had no use for it.

    Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000

    I also sold mine, you won't regret. Too many trade offs for such an expensive piece. Much happier with my FiiO. And it has a hold button.

    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    It has taken me all day to finish all 31 songs and it's quite disappointing. So is the Pearl Jam album, argh. Cleansing my palette with Panopticon - The Rime of Memory on my FiiO M11 Plus ESS and IE900.

    Yeah everything with Antonoff sounds the same.

    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    oh yeah, she's actually really great. I'm tired of her being EVERYWHERE but I can't deny her music is really good especially considering the usual pop that is everywhere. New album is OK so far

    What’s your favorite 2ch speaker pair currently?

    I have a set of MartinLogan Theos running off of an old B&K class-A amp that gives 600w a channel. That and a BalancedForce 212 is all I need, I'm not sure how I would improve.

    Okay, that hot sauce looks a little...um...well, I have a 2 year old, so I'll leave it at that. But, I LOVE hot sauce on eggs. Wife is Cajun and I'm Texan so we spice the hell out of everything!

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    These are really really laid back. I don't know what I was expecting, but I love how chill these are.
