  1. I don't think this is the right thread to ask the question.
  2. Look in the mirror, there's someone thicker.
  3. You messed up in how you tried to present your metaphor. If anything, you basically said that the amp recommendations are irrelevant passed the THX AAA's price while being disrespectful to the OP. Sounds like you really don't get the point. Its the proxy services as its not available to a good chunk of EU and Asia. And when it comes to measurements, there are little to no agreeable values in measurements or even measurements that says anything about timbre, staging, separation, etc... For the past several posts, you're the one contradicting yourself. So, get over it. You messed up.
  4. Or maybe admit that: 1.) You messed up 2.) The THX AAA isn't good enough to be on the list of recommendations due to not only how it sounds, but also the process of even purchasing one 3.) YOU are the one that should seek help
  5. Oh, I don't know, maybe because its the internet? Where social cues were already either autistic or dead freaking serious this recent decade? It also said nothing about "suggesting" the amp. Or maybe you're just covering up for your mistake. Admit it, you messed up. Point is, THX AAA 789 sonically doesn't fit the list and is behind a time-wall that's dictated by Massdrop.
  6. Seemed like you were pretty serious. You're either bad at sarcasms and metaphors, or you're actually trying to cover up the fact that you messed up.
  7. Huh? If i'm contradicting myself, you're a massive hypocrite then. Again, point still stands, your THX AAA "suggestion" does not fit here.
  8. Here's a tip: Make your own thread about your precious THX AAA 789. If people like it, fine. Telling someone else to delete their thread because that amp exists is stupid.
  9. Sir, I don't think you get the point. I said no such thing. Are you sure you don't need mental help? That might be a case of dementia. Either that or you're taking me out of context. The point is, your precious THX AAA doesn't make it in to this list, nor should the list be deleted.
  10. I brought it up for the sake of saying that the measurements mean much less than you think it does, because if a $100 headphone amp is THAT close to performance to the THX AAA, it just proves that your statement of saying that this thread means nothing because of the THX AAA is invalid. You still have to hear it yourself, and always take reviewer statements with a grain of salt. Dackzy's recommendations are not only based on his preference, but based on a sound signature leaning to clean. It has to be clean sounding, and if we (me and Dackzy) heard it and find it not clean enough, why add it to the list that *you did not make*? Now you're just taking me out of context. I brought those measurements up because you said: Its to prove a point that measurements don't even say half or a third of how good something is. If the JDS Atom is THAT close in performance other than power, then what's the point of getting the THX AAA? Oh, that's right, more power and a different or improved resolution, soundstage, etc... other things that can't be measured (properly yet). I don't know about accurate. Its 10-15 minutes worth of tangents and the point goes all over the place other than "this is endgame" without really explaining it properly. Sounds like you're just twisting the conversation in to your favor.
  11. Are you just cherry picking statements? Because you should check out his review on the Neurochrome HP-1. But either way, not like its going to change much from your perspective. And also, a balanced headphone out is a nice bonus and all... not everyone can or wants to go balanced for headphones anyways as its just another thing to add to the cost. They could've just made a powerful SE amp, maybe for less, and it'd still sell like nuts. The point is that this list is relevant. The THX AAA is behind a time-wall, not readily available, not even the cleanest amp in general (despite that its very clean, its just that the Meier and the Monotor are cleaner), and the ones listed here are readily available. Its even worse if you have to go through a proxy service. If you're paying for a $350 amp and then spend for a proxy service and pay for shipping on both, you might as well save that money and get something readily available, less likely to need a proxy, and atleast sounds cleaner. Hope off of the Massdrop or Zeos high-horse. Yes, it measures very well, but even measurements can only measure so much. I miss Tyll, I wish he never retired or atleast had a proper successor.
  12. As much as I am not exactly a fan of Amir since he always comes off as he 90% only listens to sine tone in his free time, here are the measurements https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-massdrop-thx-aaa-789-amp.5001/ https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-new-jds-labs-atom-headphone-amp.5262/ Would you look at that. And also, there's alot of things that measurements can't show (yet, due to how analyzers work right now) or don't have an agreeable value in them, such as soundstage, resolution, and presentation. The THX AAA sounds somewhat compressed I'd argue its less resolving than the Jotunheim (the Jotunheim is just, FR-wise, "dirtier" than the AAA). Even then, its not even that clean of an amp. Heck, I found it kind of warm. Would I get a THX AAA, yes. Do I think its the best or the only thing you need? No. It can't power an HE-6 and it can't even drive the ADX5000 without recessing the treble a bit and bloating the bass, making it warmer but not sweeter, as well as not really being that resolving.
  13. Guess what? The JDS Labs Atom measures almost exactly the same as the THX AAA and costs 3.5x less (excluding chipping) with 0.5db in variance except for power. Might as well actually call that the only amp you need.
  14. That's almost the same thing regarding the Audio Technica M50X. One guy says something, somehow other reviewers give it positive remarks, but somehow the negative aspects of it (or flaws) are either not mentioned or covered up by something else. Something can be said to be very good, something can be said to be excellent, but if we're going for categories on performance, for the price, the THX AAA isn't that clean. Saying its cleaner that $1000 amps is a gross overestimation of its capabilities.
