What's the most sensible HiFi purchase you've recently made or likely to make in the near future; Or, the most pointless HiFi purchase you've made?

So, its ok to call jasonovich a lost cause, maybe the internet isn't for you in reality.

Because it's the same obviously!

 

[jjbomber]

Please to hear it.
My order from Amazon should be arriving any time soon. I'll make some comparisons WiiM Pro Plus DAC against five times the price Eversolo DAC Z8 and it'll be interesting to see how close it comes to the Golden Boy

Edit:
Sorry I'm a person who's working in finance who can't add up, the Eversolo is three times the price...maybe I need a holiday.

Wiim Pro SNRdb121, Eversolo 128db.
Wiim Pro THD+N -113dB, Eversolo -120dB

So the Eversolo should win, the should relating to whether you can actually hear the difference. As per usual, those who can afford the Eversolo will tell you they can, while those who can't afford it will tell you they can't hear any difference. C'est la vie.

Hee Hee point taken
Actually I'm starting up this thread, I set up the WiiM this morning and brief listening session with both DACs...................maybe you can help steer me in the right direction

 

[Jasonovich]

We're never gonna agree on anything, and I have an ever decreasing tolerance for audiophile bs, so I respectfully suggest you put me on ignore and I'll do the same!

That's fine bro, I don't like confrontations.

I have been beat up on the street from confrontations, so I appreciate your view. Anyway I threw a punch back.

Why doesn't that surprise me Dom?

Your post (#54), the one that's been deleted:
If you were to make such an unprovoked verbal attack to the wrong person out on the street.....it could be the last thing you do.
Take it easy.

Just being honest 👍

Except it wasn't, it was the downstairs neighbour and it was planned. daveh75 should show some manners.

I'm a nice person with a loving family, I know when people aren't being charitable and look at jasonovich, he's been ridiculed so many times because of posters horrid comments. There the ones who make mistakes, there the ones wont see the light of day.

Just sayin.

You were teaching him some then? 🤔
Forget it Dom, only trying to do you a favour 👍

I had no idea what it meant, I had to look it up.....KaaaaBoooooM

It increases in severity from DEFCON 5 (least severe) to DEFCON 1 (most severe) to match varying military situations, with DEFCON 1 signalling the outbreak of nuclear warfare. DEFCONs are a subsystem of a series of Alert Conditions, or LERTCONs, which also include Emergency Conditions (EMERGCONs).

Get a bloody grip everybody, it's not even a cable thread!

Never seen Dr Strangelove then?

Oh classic.
I was wee high, was it Peter Sellers doing the rodeo on the bomb as it was dropped from the plane.

No he wasn't riding the bomb but probably one of his best films, playing multiple roles. It's always a good watch and well worth a revisit.

I would check it out thanks....Brilliant actor and comic
I recall that scene in one of the Pink Panther movies

Does your dog bite (pigeon French)?
The bartender replies No
Come here doggy
Seller's reaches his hand out to the dog or tries to stroke it
Dog bites
I thought you said your dog doesn't bite
That d'is not my dog

Love those old movies.

No, it was Slim Pickens.

DEFCON is an alert state used by the United States Armed Forces

The UK equivalent is called Threat Level.

So you could say this thread has approached Threat Level SUBSTANTIAL.

Wargames always springs to mind.

Here’s a blast from the past (no pun intended).

On topic the DACs I own all sound the same to me, but used in different scenarios, so not completely pointless. Mojo 2 is the most pointless in terms of sound quality improvement per pound. I’m also underwhelmed by my Hifiman Edition XS and Grado 325x. Best value, Google Chromecast Audio. £17 from Currys. Bought a few of them.

I think the thread has gone well and truly off topic.

I didn't buy enough. Bought one when they first launched and then when they announced they were being discontinued bought two more. Should have bought three more.
