whatever volume

this is definitely not true

• measurements are king - the only “review” you need are those backed up with objective data like Audio Science Review or Erin’s Audio Corner

• EQ is your friend, especially with planar headphones

• as long as a DAC measures well, it is a good DAC, there is 0 reason to drop 5k on some bullshit

• same applies to the amp

• don’t waste your time in mid-fi hell, just do your research and buy just 1 or 2 great headphones and enjoy them

• speakers are better
