What DAC is on top of your 789?

Looks like a Grace SDAC?

Just got these today:

My Bose speakers died on me and i needed new laptop speakers. The speakers on laptop are low volume. i wanted something small and light with a volume control. just rubber banded them together. Together they measure 5 1/4 inch. Ive been using the left side speaker on my Bose for over a year now cause both are too big. enjoying stereo now. got em plugged into my RNHP. computer powered too. sound good

Well, Iā€™ve listened yesterday night for an hour or so with the Lcd2c, comparing with the Sp200 I can say that is warmer and ads a bit of soundstage. But the biggest difference is imaging and instrument separation, in certain records like Black Sabbathā€™s Master of Reality the sp200 doesnā€™t do a good job and the instruments sound all together while in the LP the imaging and separation is fantastic. The sp200 gets shouty and unpleasant to listen to after a while whereas the LP does a great job. Jazz, Progressive Rock sound much better IMO. I foresee I world of love between the LP and myself in the futureā€¦ :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :heart_eyes: :ok_hand:

Maybe we need a ā€œLo-Fi Guidesā€ thread for the cheap shit we buy for convenience. :stuck_out_tongue:

Donā€™t have it in my hand yet, but I bought an HD800 for 800 bucks, getting it Saturday via Fed-Ex (Iā€™ll take pics of it when I get them, but not bad for the price if they work and they have a 45 day guarantee so I can test them to make sure they donā€™t spontaneously break).

Tin T4 and the Shure Tape Electrostat IEMs on Drop. I have 0 expectations for ship date or quality, just thought about it so Iā€™m doing it.

I just ordered in pre-sale a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9. That will free my two years old Redmi Note 5 as a music transport for my Xduoo xd-05 +.

So, the Elex sounds great on it but something tells me I wonā€™t be using it on this because of ā€˜size logisticsā€™ lol. On the Cascade and moondrop itā€™s a perfect match tho :ok_hand:

Nice, I switched from the redmi note 8 pro to the lgV20 because I was having weird networking issues but the phone itself was so smooth and snappy. The LG is definitely slower which is the one thing I miss but then I plug in a headphone and Iā€™m happy again.

Why the hell the V20 doesnā€™t have wireless charging aaaaaaaah :stuck_out_tongue:
(or any wireless cover)

TBH I would rather have an easily replaceable battery than wireless charging but thatā€™s just me (but then why not both lol)

Yeah, both, like my Samsung Note 3 + wireless cover. :stuck_out_tongue:
Itā€™s hard to ā€œupgradeā€ when everyone is going downhill lol.

Off-topic rant: Iā€™ll buy a smartphone with round edges and holes when round edges and holes in the screen will be the standard on TV screens. Fuck this shit lol.

I was eyeballing some speakers but then my realtor and business partner called up and told me I was buying another rental property, so I guess I bought a house today instead. I really wanted speakers though, rental properties have soooo many headaches, speakers are more fun!

Was able to pick up a set of DT 880s for $98 (open box) from Amazon Warehouse. Damn, what a bargain!

Is it just me, or are the Beyers just way more interesting to listen to than anything else in the price range?
