Audiophile 101: Essential Gear Overview
Image credit @zhugunic https://drop.com/talk/67372/gl-2-k Do I need an amp? What are these acronyms like DAC, DSP, or DSD? What even are all the components that make up an audio chain? Let’s take a beginner’s look at the core, essential building blocks of a digital audio chain, and lay it plain what each piece does. We can cover the major pieces separately, but I’ll still include a few tips to optimize playback here. Please hit the little bookmark button and feel free to check and share this guide whenever you need a reference! For people who need a visual and audible explanation, or are worried it would take too long to get a working knowledge of the audio chain, here is my YouTube video on this subject that is just 7 minutes long! I like writing though, so let’s get started with an overview, then break it down into what each piece does and how an upgrade would benefit the final sound quality.

I would LOVE to see a collaboration on the Momentum (or HD1 as they call it now?) I still have the og Momentum over ears (more like on ear though) and still love them. I never upgraded to the 2nd version w larger cups or the current HD1.
Come on MD, give us a portable headphone collaboration with Senn!!!
Oh, a girl can wish! I don't even mind if they are a tweaked Bluetooth version. Ideally it's a Massdrop HD1x Momentum over ear. Please please please.
