Klipsch have always sounded "metallic" to me. The BR03s are more neutral and "smoother". They image larger and wider, and are more forward than my MBL 323s, and far more sensitive. The Triangles do vocals, especially female, extremely well. Same with Jazz.

Buy the Atom 2 and profit

Woo Audio 22 better. Cayen has a problem with the earth (grounding)in the system!, that is why people have hummmmmmmmm...

You think you’re qualified to be an audio reviewer? You’ve spent several hundreds of dollars on components, & you’re using $5 lamp cord for spkr wires🥸. GO AWAY💩.

15:08 other options: 1) Amps & Sound 2) Decware, 3) Donald North Audio, 4) Auris, 5) ZMF Pendant

These Antal 40th Ann in Santos Rosewood look and sound spectacular! Even with 92 dB and 8 ohms, they do require a quantity of high current to open up. A perfect pairing with Triangle speakers I found is Electrocompaniet electronics. On many shows I have heard Triangle speakers so far, they were using mostly EC amps/preamps to drive them. I fell in love so much in that combo, that I bought a pair of Antal 40th in Blond Sycamore finish and Electrocompaniet ECI-6DX mkII amplifier = Jackpot! They play all kinds of music, even classical and rock crescendos with ease, you just feed them with a powerful amp and a good source. Happy listening!

ALL of the stuff he's talking about: jitter, RF noise, intermodulation distortion, can be measured, and measured to vanishingly small levels. DAC noise-floor modulation can be measured, and the DAVE is beaten by a cheapo Topping, largely because the DAVE's inherent noise floor is frankly mediocre (but still good enough that it's unlikely anyone would notice). If you want to sell Luxury Audio products with fancy enclosures and 5-figure pricetags, then that's fine. But don't spout pseudo-scientific wibble in an attempt to justify it. You're selling Luxury to people who want to belong to the club of People Who Spend A Lot, and that's all you're doing. Patek Philipe doesn't try to pretend their eye-wateringly expensive watches keep better time than a Casio because they know that's not the reason people buy them. Why do Luxury Audio makers dance around making fools of themselves by pretending otherwise?

Who the fuck says d-a-c? Bro your trying way too hard lol

The new Bifrost from 2024 uses the same four chips as the yggdrasil lim edition. Even the owner of schiit said he doesn't use the yggdrasil because they sound so close to each other now.

Why do we assume that our systems are performing better at night… probably because there is less background noise. In history we had to avoid confrontation with large predators, in the daylight we could see them, in the night we had te hear them.. soo we are trained to listen better at night.

There is no discussion that speakers can make a large difference in sound. The reason that cables and PS make or don’t make differences is because the possible differences are smal (relative to speakers and placement). Why does nobody tell us about the quantity of change they make, we could end the discussions for ever. Many of us are not interested in the promilles differences they make, we have other changes to make….

This is the second video I watched on your channel (obviously Part 1 was the first). I like your style of presentation and it's clear you put a lot of time into it. I have Denafrips Pontus II 12-1 which I absolutely adore and have been very curious about the Qutest for just the reasons you mentioned (Hype, Rob Watts interviews, the detail retrieval, I essentially the bought the whole Chord magic pixie dust lock stock and barrel. Same thing happened to me on the Ares, but I just opted for the next tier to make sure the hype = the sound. Anyway, you've convinced me to wait and save for the $10k stack. I was ready to order a Qutest just to see for myself, but I am afraid it might be just a lateral move from the Pontus. Now I am certain that if I do buy a chord, it will be the Hugo TT2 followed up quickly with an M-Scaler.

Only tried the D90 compared to some mid 1990s multi bit DACs [PCM 1702].Absolute crap .Mid Fi at best.

Saying that the Audio-Technica M50x headphones only play sound in the middle of one:s head is absolutely false. I would say that most of the sound coming from the AT M 50x headphones seems to come from outside one's head. Actually occasionally I have had the experience of hearing what sounds like. 3-demensional sound from the AT M 50 x Headphones and no I do not drink alcohol or consume drugs I have no recent experience with the DT 770 headphones The opposite is true of the Audio-Technica M,50 x headphones which I own as of about 3 week.ago I very much enjoy their sound quality

It’s not that you can’t see the salutation it’s that you can’t see the problem. 😂

i love your sense of humour monsiuer, another french word for you 😂

Enjoyed this (commentary).No jumping around and general sillyness of other KZbin channels.🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

I would be than happy to improve our friendship with Meze Liric. 🫡😇

In reality nobody can tell the difference, but to you and me we will pretend we can. That’s this review.

what about the rp600mii?

And yet I still hear hum.

Why are you using that garbage stock power cable with your top class amp? Serious power cable is a must.

Hilarious how you mock a cowboy but then wear a mask that did not work against a virus. 😂

i'm Qutest user , Exciting Contents

We missed you, dude! And as an audiophile I can say your voice is so smooth to listen to! 😄

Great video. 17:39 Is that really a ZMF Bokeh? I thought they were closed back headphones? Unless that's some sort of special edition HP maybe. I've never seen that headphone with those girls from ZMF. Now I'm really curious what they are

You sir have made the best coverage of NYC Canjam💯💯💯

Nice and informative video. The hassle with setting the Topping to preamp mode is understandable. You wouldn't want to accidentally switch to non-preamp by pushing the wrong button (and have your speaker cones flying through the room).

Price/performance award for me clearly goes to Aune this year.

Whats your fave DAC pairing for the Wells Milo? Currently running with Bicrost 2 OG.

*THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU PUT IN SO THOSE OF US WHO CAN'T TRAVEL THERE CAN WATCH*

What happened to the Pontus and Venus reviews? I don't see them. That was going to be an interesting one! I'm pretty bored with my Ares 2. :)

Fiio K19?

will you drop also IEMs video from this event?

Would love your impressions of the violetric v550

I would like some feedback on the velo amp.

Great video, thanks for a look at some very interesting and unique gear ⚙️. Personally , I’m at the end of my journey regarding headphone systems( for now 😉 ) as I’m currently very happy with my gear ..and am now just exploring new music and listening.

ASR clearly know better. 😂

I was expecting graphs, studies, real evidence but these slides just had statements with no support to back then up.

Awesome walk through. Gives the notion of actually being there.

Try out IEMs, they have come a long way and just kill many headphones

Upscaleaudio is my local dealer 😊

Hoping that youll post videos more often like before! Your one of my favorites, thanks mate!

GREAT VIDEO!!! THANK YOU!!

Daing. Wanted to go this year, but wasn’t able to swing it. Great review. Almost feels like I WAS there LMAO 🤦🏻‍♂️ low key wish there were a few extra shots of just “you” 😉 Maybe next time! ❤

Solid work 💪 Much appreciated 🙏 Sending love from Germany ❤

Thank you so much. Your camera work and overview is fantastic. You really get a feel for the presentation of the equipment shown. ❤

Wish I saw you out there bud ! Love your work maybe next year :)

Expanse and Stealth are pretty neutral, but I found they both sounded really good on the 465. Ashame it takes that level of an amp to get the most out of it. Looking to try E3 and Stealth to compare.

Interesting, I thought the 465 was so obviously a step up over every other amp, even at Canjam and even at walking around with different headphones. BTW, love the StormTrooper version of the Tungsten.
