Audiophile world it's an expensive and I would risk to say hard-to-justify/define one.
I do like to hear music and after buying several more and more expensive earphones/headphones you come to see it's just about certain signature on the music... or in layman terms... EQ.
I used to research more and more in forums like head-fi but suddenly you realize there is no way to translate, measure or get an agreement on what things mean, e.g.
>good texture and detail, not particular sweet in tone but good in vocal. Treble is decently crisp and clean, but rolls just a tiny bit off on the very top of the spectrum, over the 16kHz region. Bass extends decently low, but slowly rolls off in the sub-bass region
With that said, I find hard to believe digital "always the same" encoded music is inferior to this analog-vinil-trend...

There are also some great bargains to be had for headphones / speakers / IEMs that perform way above their price point. Brainwavs Deltas are one I've found recently, and I still love my O2 amp + ODAC combo. I've heard more expensive gear and it's not really worth it for me.
- danielhooper 11y agoThis doesn't really have anything to do with audiophiles. Technics 1200s are notorious for DJing, not high quality audio playback. Nobody should purchase a direct drive turn table if they only care about audio quality.
