oh darn, i missed that.

no.

is there any proof from sony ? only sony labeled their headphone as hi-res, and they are just entry level price item.

imho, a properly mastered CD ripped properly into flac/lossless/ 320kbps, is all you need.

am using A3 & tf10 now, piston is good and cheap replacement for your slightly more expensive earbud.when i am using piston i wouldnt say, oh this is crap i need to throw this away and reach for my tf10/A3. no.

day and night? it depends. doing everything a little better? yes. but only if you are paying attention.

i compared my rm200 headphone vs my rm2000 headphone, i wont call it day and night difference. yes, better. but not day and night.

compared headphone direct out vs via a DAC(mojo), difference, yes. but only if you are doing critical listening. worth the rm2500 extra and the hassle? depends


FLAC?

or you may subscribe tidal. i did a critical listening session comparing tidal with spotify premium with michael jackson songs. with my system i cant detect the difference. you should try so too. spotify premium is cheap in malaysia for rm15(or rm10 via maxis) with tidal is rm30( free trial 1 month, have to give them paypal/card no. to get 1 month free trial)



in short? spotify premium + XBA via handphone out is good enough for many people.

love the A3, feels like tx-x00 for iem

woah, so risky!

nothing less than rm5000 there
