Catch & release. I just bought these off Reddit and decided that they aren't for me. They're in very good condition, a little over 2 years old. I am the second owner and will include the original invoice from their initial purchase for warranty purposes. Pads have a lot of life left on them...- acassara

Ampsandsound Kenzie/Mogwai Impressions
Not side by side, I have used a Felix Euforia Evo before but that was at a trade show so hard to compare in a loud convention room vs in a private setting.- acassara

Comment by 'acassara' on listing 'Headamp GSX-Mini Satin Black w/ DACT CT-24 volume pot'
I've received a few interested messages with the same concern that the stepped attenuator is hard to dial in. Speaking from my own experience, I have never once thought "I can't find the right volume on this amp." I prefer the more linear sound of the DACT vs the ALPS adding a little too much...- acassara

Which EQ software to use for Mac (M2)?
I used EQMac for awhile it was okay, then I found SoundSource and that was a much better solution for me: https://rogueamoeba.com/soundsource/ I'm not sure what the free version limitations are but I did pay for it.- acassara

New Amp from HeadAmp - GS-X Mini
I think the GSX-Mini is a really solid offering, provided you buy one used. At $2,000 there are so many other options within reach that I think are far better value, but if you can pick one up for $1200 or less, especially with the upgraded volume pot, you'll be really happy with your purchase...- acassara

Reply to review by 'acassara' on item 'Schiit Audio Bifrost 2'
This was my first higher end DAC purchase and I'm still so happy with it even 3 years later. I would like to go up in the near future to something like a Yggdrasil OG, but for now I'm really happy with the BF2, even on more expensive amps like my Mogwai.- acassara

flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)
I sold my ROG Ally when the Steam Deck OLED was announced and haven't looked back. I'm set on SteamOS as my primary handheld/portable platform. Windows needs a "mobile gaming" version to compete, otherwise the overhead and power draw will never compare to something ultra optimized like SteamOS.- acassara

Questyle M15 appreciation thread
I just got one of these for Black Friday and I use it near daily with my Steam Deck OLED. It started as a necessity because the headphone jack on my Deck has interference from the board, but now it's my preferred method because the sound is just so good! Can't believe I'm getting such amazing...- acassara

The Official 64 Audio Thread | apex & tia Technologies
Just came here to say my A12t are still going rock solid after nearly 4 years. I unfortunately had one ear crack early on in its life but 64Audio took care of it completely free and they've been awesome since. Customer service is A+, product is S tier.- acassara

ampsandsound customer experience 2023/2024 (Mogwai, Kenzie, Nautilus)
This week I was fortunate enough to snag some time with Justin of ampsandsound to demo a few amazing tube amps. I had already reached out to Justin via e-mail to get his thoughts and advice when choosing a tube amp. Several friends recommended the Mogwai for my wants/budget--an end game amp that...- acassara

Ampsandsound Kenzie/Mogwai Impressions
I auditioned the Kenzie and Mogwai side by side the other night with a Yggdrasil. I mostly used a pair of HD800S but I also used LCD-X and LCD-5. All sounded wonderful. The differences are pretty stark between amps though. The Kenzie is by no means a bad amp. It's quite amazing for what it is...- acassara

Introducing the Questyle M15 & the brand new Questyle Shop!
I bought the M15 from Amazon on Black Friday for about $209 before tax. Good lord what a great purchase, this thing takes the sound on my Steam Deck to a new level! Plug and play works flawlessly even on SteamOS and I love how it sounds with my A12t. It's my new default sound device for travel...- acassara

Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread
Had a chance to audition one of the OG Yggdrasil's the other night with a bunch of ampsandsound tube amps. I gotta say the clarity is superb! I'm using a Bifrost 2 and while I love the slam and punch the R2R dac gives, the clarity of the Yggy is addicting. So much so I'm planning to acquire one...- acassara

Hey longtime lurker, first time poster. Wanting to share more of my experiences with high end audiophile equipment. My first real "audiophile" purchase was my 64Audio A12t back in 2019 and it blew my mind what I had been blissfully unaware of in mid-fi land. Not to say I don't love my mid-fi...- acassara
