    Hey good stuff man, I have a question that is boggling my head. I've gone crazy I've watched over 100s of audiophile videos.
    Now l'm convinced to buy a pair of high end wired headphones and dac and amp (if necessary for the pair). But end of the day I'm a movie guy. Does Netflix sound any better on my iPad with all the hifi headphones and dacs. Or is it just like watching a TH-cam video on 144p on an 8k screen. Does high end headphones really make a difference or am I better off with Bluetooth headphones if I'm watching Netflix on my iPad. (The question here is regarding the app and the audio it outputs ) As I know Netflix supports up to 700kbps which really good but does that apply to only 5.1 or 7.1 speakers setup or can be perceived through a good stereo open back headphone or does switching to a mac do any good over iPads . It’ll really will be informative for all the people looking out for a good movie experience.

      Hi these are important questions that you have asked and I will make sure to make some dedicated video on the same since I am into this hobby. So 1st of all if you already own a nice pair of bluetooth headphones/earphones then tweaking the equalizer will already give you amazing results. Now coming to wired earphones and dac see the point here is to get the specific tuning of individual iems/dac as per you preference like warm signature, v shaped etc but at the same time having greater clarity, soundtstage, vocals etc. And BTW the most of the consumer earphones tune it to please maximum customers so either you would love these iems or would just feel underwhelmed since audio signature is personal preference. For example you might prefer more bass for most of the usecase but iems might have more balanced approach. So try to understand your taste. Post that try using equalizer for your existing set of pairs which you already have. Example for movies clarity of vocals is as important as getting rhe bass thump. Finally if you want to try these iem/dacs, try the ones under 3-4k combined that too with iem first like blon bl03 or moondrop chu 2. Later you may have a budget dac under 2-3k and see how are you feeling. Try to use the headphone jack port of your laptop vs bluetooth output and see what do you feel if ipad doesn't have the jack then only purchase dac. Finally these 5.1, 7.1 are more effective in multi speaker setup or soundbars which support these formats. Let me know your opinions if you decide to try these things out maybe in a different comment in case I miss on this, I would love to hear your side.😀

    hey bro, I have the xb 910N sony headphones...I have two questions, will the wired be good in terms of sound quality than the wireless one theoretically speaking? and if wired is good in terms of sound quality, can using this enhance the audio quality experience? I don't have iems and I have only this headphone... I have heard iems work very good with these dacs to improve the sound quality by many levels ahead... But not sure of whether mine will get enhanced audio quality like that of iems as it is a wireless one and it has an "option" to connect in a wired manner (what I mean to say here is that wired is not the only dedicated path for transmission of audio unlike iems, but just another "alternative" way to listen to music)... Please do clarify these doubts, would be very helpful for me!!

    • @CuratorCast
      @CuratorCast  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey buddy, so this is a very good question/doubt which is true for almost all of us. It's a good topic and I will try to make a video on this. Let's get one fact out of the way wired so far has been a better source of audio output considering the ability to transfer greater data compared to bluetooth. But in today's Era it is a very conceptual principal as the music is meant to bring satisfaction to most of the listeners not necessarily to show the reference as to how the song was supposed to be. So if someone is not a purist or in a musical field, most of them prefer the sound as per taste. Secondly the transmission rate differences of bluetooth vs wired is very much balanced by LDAC codecs. So in short the best way to move forward is to identify what kind of music/genre/output you prefer. Are you a bit of more bass/mids/treble guy or highly v/u shaped output guy or someone who prefers balanced out or somewhere who enjoys pure flat sound signature, simply no colouration of music. Once you determine it, only then will you be able to decide if you must jump into this iem/wired journey. Because the recent trends of songs presents us with more bass/treble centric experience vs the order melodic/vocal centric with balance of music. So the taste has become recently of the fast paced. Now once you determine the preference 2nd step would be use good quality lossless audio, so try free 1 month subscription of apps like apple music. 3rd step will be to use equalizer with predefined setting to see if you prefer things like flat/rock/jazz etc. Finally once you have made the decision based on hearing with your current setup, decide if you are missing something from your existing headphones or simply want to experience the iem . Then I would suggest that if you really want to have the starting experience try any of these like 7hz salnotes zero or tanzu wan'er. This will not break the bank balnace and are very very good considering their price. Personally speaking I use wired and wireless both mediums but only to ease my usecase. Plus I recently acquired btr15 dac which converts my wired options to wireless but best part is the equalizer which is applied to all the apps once I set in the dac. But a dac both wireless/wired should be the last step you should try untill you really need one as you want to try wired iems/headphones but have most devices with usb only. I hope I was able to help in some manner.

    Bro which 5 star inverter ac would you recommend between Lg and Samsung as both costs around 45k. Samsung AC has triple digital inverter compressor while lg has dual rotary compressor. Which one provides faster cooling and more energy efficiency? Did you face any gas leakage or other problem with any one?

    • @CuratorCast
      @CuratorCast  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Both are good in my opinion. So far haven't faced any gas leak issues. LG compressor was quite when I purchased, but a lot would have changed in 2-3 years.

      For seamless compatibility with apple devices apple dongle as suggested by the @abrarcreates, but for better output and cross platform utility Abigail pro. Your choice of IEMs/Headphones would give you the most audio impact.

      Hi while construction wise it is using nice materials like aluminium but in terms of finish and the durability I feel the seams are a bit less refined. So far it has been good for me just remember to pull the usb c and 3.5mm socket with a bit of care.

    Can you please help me out here by testing if the hissing sound is actually gone with Abigail pro?

      Hi I have not heard any noticable hiss sound so far, but I would suggest you to use the dac and test with other phones/laptops. Also test your dac setup with other mobile phones. The issue seems to be from the dac only but in order to filter out any earphone issues do test before purchasing.
