    The new Utopias are way brighter than the pair Tyll reviewed....

    Somebody (kais in the comment section) pointed out that headphone positioning makes a huge difference for the Utopia.  You can see this in the raw frequency response plots of Tyll's original Utopia measurements.  The effect is so big, it might(?) even explain the difference between the old and new measurements.  :blink:

    Katz has a good track record, good enough to get the benefit of the doubt from me, but this flies in the face of most of what reasonable people have told me.  Basically, something is amiss.

    Tyll has measured the headphones Bob Katz used for his shootout, plus another new sample of the Utopia:

    Bob's LCD-4 appears to be more balanced in the treble range than the pair Tyll reviewed.

    I went through the original Japanese text about the new model, and I don't see any mention of new flagship headphones.

    It says that they are planning to release a new flagship amplifier designed to go with the SR-009.

    EDIT: They are also hoping to release something "wonderful" in 2018 (the new amplifier is planned for 2017).

    this is the first, and definitely not the last r2r discrete compensated dac

    https://kitsunehifi.com/product-category/audio-gear/dac/

    i'm sure others will be duplicating these ideas soon, market is about to make a major change again

    absolutely insane (as in waste of money) to spend more than $2500 on a moving target.

     

    I'm surprised nobody's done this before.  Seems like a great way to make cheap and accurate R2R DACs.

    fancy transformers AND fancy capacitors.  unlikely anyone could tell the difference between the 3 models.

    The red label transformer is silver wire.

    I think green label transformer is the one with silver wires.

  5. Unsurprisingly, Scott Foster was one of the referees:

    He's the referee with suspected gambling ties:

    He's also the one that threw out Livingston for (what seemed to be) just a little complaining earlier in the playoffs:

  6. Where is the lying part found? I read your post last night and went back to see if he misstated himself but I don't see anything wrong with his post.

     

    I don't know whether Smarty-pants works (or shills) for Oppo.  However, a quick check of his Head-Fi posting history shows that he mostly posts in the various Oppo threads.  I only bothered to read a few of the posts, but he appears to present himself as someone that does NOT work for Oppo.  He is certainly not labeled a MoT there.
