LDAC in general doesn't have good stability and very short range

Ldac is really bad in high device density areas

Seriously contemplating backing the Soundcore Sleep A20. As a cheap alternative has anyone tried the Earfun Free Pro 3? I read it can be used side sleeping. If so, I won't have to explain the more expensive buy of the A20 to my wife... are the earfun anygood for music?

A20 comes with 1 year of free Slumber Premium though, so essentially $59 added gift... with purchase... makes them alot more enticing....

Just an fyi.. I have a Samsung TV that allows audio to play while turning off the energy consuming screen.. I play rain sounds all night on low volume off of YouTube, works great!

Hi guys, are there any metal and rock fans in here that have found a pair of true wireless buds that suits those genres the best?

I was looking at the Marshall Motif ii anc but to be honest I have no clue haha

Those actually sound pretty good for what they are.

I’m a metal guy and love the Noble FoKus Triumph or any of the FoKus models for metal. Love the B&O EX and Devialet Gemini 2. Maiden sounds killer with all the above

Biggest problem with rock in general and classic rock even more is getting enough bass. A lot of the recordings are old now and definitely sound lean in the bass department.

Oddly enough, my DAP is helping. Those old hair metal albums we grew up loving sound great with the Triumph. Better with my IE600/Hype 4 and the iFi Go Pods. The extra oomph from the DAP and iFi helps. I will say, the newer remixed Whitesnake - Slide It In sounds stellar in the bass dept, as does the remixed Restless Heart album.

Tell me how to bring up the baseline in “I don’t believe in love.” Because it’s nasty.

I agree that the extra power makes a difference on older recordings. Probably the best thing you can do. I wonder what you need to spend to improve on the Hype 4/Go pod combo.

Was the Deluxe version remastered? Great song. Great album. Saw that tour.

It was! Ugh. https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/operation-mindcrime-queensryche/uae3vnhl7xa3a. Going to have to get it.

Not every remaster is better than the original, you know

Interesting, why do it then? Just a money grab, I’ve moved to classical for a while, I’m done rebuying albums I’ve bought 3-4 times already

Is this a remaster of the already remastered? I think I picked up the original remastered at a goodwill!!

 

[Not so fat head]

Btw, goodwill stores were a great source of CD’s at one time.. Slim pickings now unfortunately…
