For looks and a lot of money 😉 is the cost worth a dubious delta.

Titan is the way. Scarlet was a bass meme for too much money (I say that with the LX and Evo). Maestro SE/Grand is a big step up (for lots more money and I would go custom that route)

The coaxial Rn6/electron12 cable is no slouch 🤣 we are talking the last % of ergonomics here not significant differences. Even in this comparison, the ear hooks put the Rn6/e12 cable over the top then you defer to clear jacket vs smoked jacket for visuals.

Yes. What I forgot to address with NOS redbook; 44.1/48khz may not roll off egregiously early depending in implementation but it will always have aliasing requiring "hi-res" files or upsampling for the worried about this to push all aliasing images well beyond audible FR as well as mitiging...

Ergonomics. Stock Cable all the way. Especially for its construction, the materials are a flex.

🗿 this is the way

Better will require another couple of Kilo-bucks. Different? There's a whole bunch. Fir e10, Campfire Bonnyville are two I've recently heard visiting both headquarters 🤭 the Moon Rover is very reference, not enough bass for me but super cool, limited and neutral with technicalities.

Fir OEM or 24C LTD is the way

I was referring to the human perception of jitter. There are many claims of night and day preferences which can be reduced to purchase validation. There's some OKAY and affordable DDC offerings. There's music tailored word clocks which will run you 4k to pair a DDC/clock combo. There's the...

If one claims to appreciate harmonics beyond 20khz as appreciable to the experience, yes. Digressing into snake oil purchase justications down that rabbit hole which lends itself to religious beliefs rather than the realm of audio reproduction is neither productive nor appropriate here. I...

There's going to be unit variation within a couple dB but you'd need an audio analyzer not the human ear Mk1

This is where I'd say just get the Stellar Horizon.

I'm referring to time domain preferences which are measured well below human perception. There's Golden Sound who claims 22khz threshold without medical professionals backing up. Maybe he can, maybe he can not. I remain skeptical. There's many people online who claim they prefer pico...

AES proclivity is entirely depending on "not trusting" a particular USB input and offloading the duty to a clock or DDC in this space. In pro use it is much more a hardware before anything else. I2S is a digital format without a standard which again, lends itself to a belief or trust in a...

Super cool cotton candy colors and green connectors! Dm me the link!

They just gotta keep hitting the ground at can jams and it will speak for itself at demos

Oh, I know about the ET3. It's just why compete with yourself rather than consolidate features?

Yes. If you have the impressions and cash to burn. It is possible. But they are busy; so if they are willing to do it, it's gonna be a while.

AES is not the best digital input by any stretch. It is subject to long run degradation and requires synchronous clocking which is another rabbit hole over who has the best clock or DDC. It is a pro connection for the grounding/shielding and stable connector inherent in its design for consoles...

You mean DC jumper mod? Looking forward to the results

Digital Transport via USB/I2S would have been the killer app

You're gonna like the AET07's 🤭 the velvet I would describe as a more luxurious Finale E. But once you have heard other tips and how they throw staging wider, it's hard to go back.

How come you went e10 over e12?

If MR was Bonny low(shelved 200hz down flat to 15) with Ara highs and a flat mid through the upper rise it would be the most insane sub 2k in ear on the market. But there's physical constraints on single drivers 🤣 a miniature Audeze LCD-2 pre fazor would be mind blowing. But then again, with...

I actually did not listen to the Fathom (it was sitting right in front of me) I failed the forum 🤣. I really had one mission in mind, hear the Trifecta. Remembered the Stellar Horizon was a thing, and of course check out the Moon Rover pre-release.
