I will be attending my first Dallas CanJam Dallas in November giving two seminars: 1) an updated version of "The Perception and Measurement of Nonlinear Distortion in Headphones" and 2) Headphone Target Curves for the B&K5128 and GRAS 45-CA-10

I’m at home listening to the Meze Empyrean Elite. And as much as I love it… CanJam spoiled me. Specifically the Abyss Diana DZ, Abyss 1266, and Audeze LCD-5. Those last two were used with very pricey systems, so they’d be serious investments.
I better start looking at amps and DACs more closely.

I learned a lot during CanJam. The biggest thing? That I’d like not only a better amp, but a better DAC.
I have the Mojo2, which is great, but there were some DACs that really did a great job of separating the different parts of the music and really let brilliant headphones shine.

「Letshuoer S12 Ultra」は2.5万円ほどか。久々に気になるイヤホンだけどダークカラーじゃないのがなあ…
CanJamで、発売前のLetshuoer S12 Ultraを試す機会があり、これはこれまでのバージョンで最高だと確信できます。
> 次の2ヶ月以内には発売される予定で、小売価格は$170です。
> このバージョンがこれまでで最もスムーズでクリーンだと感じています。低音/質感も向上していて良かったです。色は少し賛否両論あるかも
> 2024年版のような限定リリースではありません。
