Okay if it truly is bit perfect then converting to AIFF will also retain that, just at a larger size.

Do you plan on reviewing LZ A2 Pro in the future ?
Probably no
I guess they are not good then.
Ok thank you.
I hate to create a new account but I donāt what they know who I am.
About the moondrop thing, itās way more complex than a simple apology.
Since it obviously has nothing to do with earphones so you could just ignore this shitting post.
The picture they post are originated from a group named āę°“ęéØé²čē¦å©ē¾¤ā (moondrop fan service small talk group), there many arkworks including NSFW in this group, itās not an official group but some group admin are moondropās empolyee (the guy who post the picuture is one of them).
The picture has a text āé
øå„¶ę³¼å°č³ęŗäøäŗā, means āyogurt spilled on the earphoneā, yeah itās yogurt not semen you think, the guy thought itās fun and safe then he posted it publicly. The picture was deleted because someone report it on head-fi forum and the guy was punished and sent to other position after few days. When the group members knows the guy was punished they are angry because they think their fan service picture are censored by the āē½å·¦å©ā (white left-wing bitch), they ask moondrop stand against the feminists in the offical wechat group but moondrop refused and say they wonāt give any word about this thing again.
It may sound ridiculous but many of their customer think the picture is totally fine and censorship it is taking their freedom away (like CCP did), so if moondrop apologize publicly it may make them boycott moondropās products.
Iām surprised that hawaiibadboy from japan complaints about this because for what I know many japanese are more āconservativeā, I remember years ago there was a mass protest ask the government do not censorship child sex arkworks (aka éå®åØéå°å¹“), and they won. Whatās even harder to believe is that a woman raped by prime ministerās reporter was called a prostitute by several famous people and there popular support for the rapist (which is free from jail). There many people in the world did not think woman, especially the non-realistic existence need the be āprotectedā, and they hate someone using political correctness and feminism to suppress them. This incident is just a tragedy, they should not have posted this picture from the beginning, then being caught up in the political maelstrom.
I think moondrop register an account to hifiguides because they want to show that they notice complaints here, but they keep slient because they canāt say anything, not because ādonāt give a shit about itā.
I personally donāt blame them and believe they wonāt post NSFW pictures publicly again, but itās your freedom to boycott moondrop or do whatever you want. Like I said at the beginning this is a shitting post so please ignore if you feel offended.
Thanks for sharing Your insights and personal take on itā¦
In my opinion, it is preferable to embrass a clear statement / position than trying not to choose.
I would go as far as saying that taking a bad decision is better in the long term (if you are open to critics and able to change) than avoiding to take a decision.
So I would advise Moondrop to clearly choose a position and stand by it, whatever camp they chose.
But thatās just some guyās opinion.
Personal opinion: excessive censorship is in violation of freedom of speech and expression. However seeing that weāre living in an imperfect world, not everybody has the sense and decency to filter their words and what they share. So a certain level of censorship is still necessary to protect some groups.
As shared above, if its a misunderstanding, then I think itās still the right thing to clarify the misunderstanding. I do not wish to comment on the intentions of the creator of that fan art and the one who posted, since I do not know them in person. However since their action has caused such an uproar, it should be addressed and not simply swept under the rug.
To me, it says something about their values as a company, do they value profit (fear of getting boycotted by either parties) or doing the right thing as a decent human (which is often not the easiest path). Just my 2 cents.
MoonDrop not making a public statement apologizing for it seems like a very bad decision.
Man up. Own the issue instead of thinking itāll go away on itās own.
That said, companies are run by people and people make mistakes.
I guess the biggest mistake here was giving whomever shared that picture control over MoonDropās account.
That person clearly wasnāt up for the task of handling that.
Thatās actually my biggest issue with the whole situation.
Iām totally cool with folks making what Iād call an innocent mistake. Someone did a fuck up. Congrats, someone learned theyāre human today!
But not apologizing for itā¦ nah. Thatās not an innocent mistake, thatās a series of conscious mistakes.
Hell, I give companies more props when they come out about stuff in a timely manner and are able to brush it off. That earns more respect from me.
Anyways, Iām not burning with anger over the situation. Whatever, Moondropās tuning will never be for me. Just theyāll get less from my mouth.
As stated by @manday āthe right thing to doā may not be that obvious as we think, as there are cultural differences at stake. We see this picture out of context, with our westerners eyes, and obviously we find it offending.
Anyway, i think that at the end of the day, moondrop has calculated the risks for their image here: offending a minority of Asian fans that accuse them of censor VS offending a minority of āwesternā fans.
In both cases, the shit could hit the fan pretty hard. Moondrop made the choice of offending a little bit of both communities but not going further in either way. I think I can understand that tactical move.
Doesnāt mean I agree, though. And I guess the sells numbers of Kato will tell if they made a good choice or not.
Thatās a clearer way of describing what I believe is a mistake. I will remember them as weirdos (I had my doubts already) and those keyboards freedom warriors will remember them as half-a** bi***es.
Lose - lose situation.
I agree with them not apologizing, doing so only feeds the outrage mob / cancel culture mentality and they have nothing to gain from it. Everybody makes mistakes, lesson learned.
I am usually inclined towards your opinion, but we are not debating NapolƩon Bonaparte or General Lee here.
Weāre talking rape promotion.
And a lesson is learned when you behave differently. We shall see.
Unless I missed something and weāre talking about something other than the pic, this is a huge stretch.
You canāt just interpret something in the worst way possible and then state that that was the intent as if itās now fact lol.
If you donāt see a raped young girl in that picture with a wannabe funny comment on top, I understand you are not bothered.
I would not discuss it at such length either.
But I canāt refrain my interpretation
