I went to check the price on that DAP and they offered me a monthly payment higher than the cost of my grados

I am new to the audiophile world. I have seen setups costing same as a car.

Here in my town, a 3 series BMW is still Buffy and Buff's 16th birthday gift of choice. We're holding the line at M Series...

The day Fear Inoculum came out, I ate 4.5 grams of shrooms, cleared out my living room, put my lazy boy in the middle of the room, turned my towers towards me, waiting for them to kick in, and listened to the entire album. My only regret is not having a subwoofer at the time...

Isn't there a shit ton of clipping in the fear inoculum album? It's really bothering in my own opinion

i wouldn't say that's a beginner setup! The Ibasso players are fantastic. If your looking to expand on your Ibasso, i would highly recommend the Amp13 card. I just listened to my buddy's this past weekend. Seriously is making me consider selling my Dx240 so i can get a 320 with the warm little Nu-tube card.

Seriously considering it!

AMP13 sucks. I have it. Bloated bass and muddy details. Try the newer AMP14. Same Nutube as in AMP13 but tuned for more details and still having that tube sound ! Also AMP14 has balanced out and dedicated line out while AMP13 only has 3.5mm headphone outs.

Congrats! But… starting with the flagship of ibasso and the flagship of shure I hardly can call it “beginner” setup…🤣🤣🤣

Who else imagined Danny Carey playing this live?

I imagined an octopus playing it. Kind of the same thing.

What are your fav tracks off this album?

spouting-nonsense t1_jadrhhs wrote

Mood depending for me. In love with all the tracks except Culling Voices. That one is just great. But never a favorite. Most frequent play for me? Descending.

Does this set really cost more than 2k? Google showed me prices over 1k for each

lefterisven OP t1_jadkoky wrote

I paid 1500EUR for the iBasso and 1k+ for the Shures.

I didn't know that Shure was still making new iem's. I've had the 215's for probably close to twenty years. They haven't aged well though.

Congrats! Also of note, if you want to EQ in native android using Wavelet or something similar you can update to their new Android 11 build if you have not already. Welcome to the team music enjoyer.

Have the se 535s

Have you tried them? And how good are these compared to the 535s?

Coalbus t1_jadvsus wrote

Curious as well. They don’t get talked about as much here.

lefterisven OP t1_jadwa86 wrote

Personally I love them. Nice and balanced sound. They’ve been around for so many years for a reason (I own gen2).

ajjjas t1_jaednff wrote

I absolutely love mine. I bought mine as my first really big headphone purchase and have been underwhelmed by nearly everything else I've tried since. The sound sig is just perfect for my tastes, and the isolation is top notch. I traveled with them for business for 10 years before my first pair broke, probably 20 hours of use a week average. I immediately bought a second pair. The only thing that's trumped them for me has been the Shure KSE1500 setup. I picked it up when it went on sale a couple years ago and haven't looked back.

poilsoup2 t1_jadzs58 wrote

They used to be a lot more popular. I owned a pair probs 6-7 years ago and wasnt a huge fan. I liked my hyla CE5s more

I’m curious about your opinion on the buds , what quality of sound would you compare them to if any ? I use to use the XR20I buds from Klipsch but they need repairing so I’m using the 1more buds and not that they don’t sound good but they are not the same and shure is one of the brands I was researching when I got the 1more buds so I’m curious if I should save to upgrade. An could use some opinions on other brands sound quality, comfort stuff like that if you don’t mind sharing. Thanks

Is this the new Gen2 Shure with the red filter ? How is it ? I have the iBasso DX320 as well and one of my IEMs is the first gen Shure SE846.

1

LArule19 t1_jaeo4bj wrote

Fyi, there are simple, reversible mods that you can do that, imo, make the se846 sounds many times better than stock. I understand if you don't wanna mess with your 900$ iems but let me know if you do
