Which headphones of Drop's currently available?
I have some rewards points to burn but there's no obviously good options on Drop right now for headphones Contenders Ultrasone - maybe? I don't own any Ultrasones, so curious. Looks like garbage travel headphone which could be useful also. Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. - Maybe? I have the DT 880 Good price point, really uncomfortable headphones but could be interesting to try the upgraded version. E-MU - strong contender but $400 is a bad price point for what it is. Which of the above would you choose and why? Nothing else on Drop is relevant to my interests, because Already own 6xx 820 800 s Ether cx Garbage / Consumer grade Meze 99 - garbage bass canons, hard pass No gaming headphones obviously Sennheiser wireless - no to wireless/bluetooth Hifiman - I have 2 of drop hifimans and they make really bad cheap shit on Drop, hard pass on HE-R7DX Aeon - I own the closed, Drop refuses to address #padgate so no reason to buy open Beyerdynamic 177x - wireless, nope Too similar 8x / 560s...

I Thank you don't even read or understand this drops Description
But Rev. B is Objectively Better
Of course you might feel original ODAC is better, because that is an personal feeling
I understand Psychological difference
But I can not accept ruin the facts and real factors.
Personal "Good" , "Bad" is not Real world "Good" , "Bad"
DACs are Like CPUs or GPUs, nobody say "this one lookin' nice to me, so this one is faster"
But by the Benchmark, Measuremeants, we can find out better one.
First hand experience is still important. But living in US and some other countries there are very little shops to audit these products. Thus people went online and start discussing based on 2nd hand information. That leads to one of the most difficult questions in audiophile circle: the sound you have never heard of. There are no good solution to this problem.
Yes, it is. I agree
I EVEN HEARD NOISY RADIO WITH FULL OF SATISFACTION
also I'v heard very well controled listeningrooms sounds and studio's
But personal experience is not Real Good, Better, Bad Go get some over 1000bucks USB cable and feel digital orgasme Mentally better products provides better experience Even any audible difference
I can say my cheap shielded USB cable will make same sound As golden cable
well controled ABX test shows your real ability to listen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABX_test
Industry won't bother to let you know technical details since it's their know-how in making big money. On the other hand, majority of the users aren't geeks and they won't bother about technical details. In the end creating a bigger topic is much better for them to make money, which is what Sony is doing these days.
Mental effects change over time and very inconsistent. What I listen to these days are very different from 5 years ago and I keep finding new ground. Even something I used to hate becomes a new favored.
