@allnick Why the hell is this on kickstarter if they are just dropshipping.
@jeddyhsu lol ... so because they area a "startup" I shouldn't share with the community a cheaper alternative?
@allnick Yeah there have been a number of products on PH that essentially are just rebranded, drop-shipped Aliexpress merch. I guess something could be said for bringing these products to a wider audience under a rebrand or something, but pitching it as a startup or some novel idea or product is a bit much (especially at a high level of markup) doesn't seem PH-worthy, IMHO.
Thanks for sharing with the community - don't really good headphones (like Bose) already do what this piece of hardware aims to? @allen_huang
@allen_huang @abadesi Bose headphones aren't normally considered "really good headphones" outside of their signature active noise cancellation. Unless the headphones are connected directly via cable for a direct digital input, it is using the source device's built in DAC. Although you can use your own amp, or potentially even run it through another DAC, ultimately you're just augmenting the sound that's already been processed through the device's DAC. Think about it a bit like trying to "enhance" a lower resolution photograph. Typically, the internal DACs in devices are subpar.
In general, bluetooth utilizes its own compression as well. AptX is supposed to be better than A2DP but not all devices support it. If you want the best fidelity, you need to be connected directly to the device (E.g. lightning on iPhone) and have a higher quality DAC and/or amp.
@abadesi When comes to the High impedance headphones like Sennheiser headphones usually have 150 - 300Ω impedance. You normal music source like your cellphone or laptop does not have the ability to drive those headphones. In order to experience the full advantage of the High impedance headphones, you will need the external Amplifier like Hidizs DH1000 to help your cellphone or laptop. In the mean time, DH1000 can provide a much better sound quality than your cellphone or laptop due to its professional audio circuit design.
