My OCD relationship with technology has reached a new level - the fingerprint magnet nature and how easily stainless steel can scratch has led me to keeping a cotton glove in the ddHifi case for taking the R8 II out and storing away, making sure to use one of the many cloths I keep to hand to always give DAPs and IEMs a quick polish before storage… and often randomly when in use - I like to treat my precious toys with the utmost care Oh and especially given that the case for the Hiby is awful.

When in use it is always either on a cloth or another material surface such as table cloth.

Anyone else have OCD behaviour associated with the hobby that they’d like to share?!

I always set my volume at multiples of 5, 4 or 11.

I always set my volume at multiples of 5, 4 or 11.

Oh shoot, just when I thought I could get away with the (although I take care of my gear and I do prefer colormatching with iems+cables) OCD topic. Now you come up with numerology instead

I always try to end on a 3, 7 or 8 myself when I add up the numbers...

For example: on my LPGT (1TB) I have 58.125 songs now => (21=2+1=) 3 in the end.

Oh now you're opening a can of worms. I'm forever balancing out numerical sequences. If two pieces of gear have the same sequence number, they automatically have to go together. Xe6, Rn6, two peas in a pod. R8 II, RS8...really need the RS8 II to balance the scales. I can go on and on but my sanity will be questioned even more than it probably already is

You won't be so give it up already! Tier 1 for me. If it wasn't for the weight, price, and brightness I'd trade my mum for it

Its a “blind” buy, so I hope the weight wont wear my ears down to much

From what ive been reading the brightness can be tamed.

Ill share my findings and combinations here.

Really want to test them on the Resolute

This week in the cooler: Audiophile Numerology

Volume is always in multiple of 5 or 10 for me.

Driver count is 4, 6 or 12

 

[theintention]

Volume just has to be on an even number for me… god bless the DC-Elite for not even having a display lol.

FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND songs?!

I have 5000!

Is one of us an outlier here?

 

[fidgeraldo]

FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND songs?!

Hmm...it sounded a lot at first look, then I put some numbers around my head, and...it doesn't seem too many anymore

Cheers!

I have over 20,000 albums in my collection (on the drive).

Same. Nowadays, I just try not to look.

Yep, 58K and only 400mb free space left at this moment
But the LPGT still runs smooth...

Most of my favorite albums in hq:
± 800 DSD [64] / WAV [32] files
± 3.000 FLAC [24b] files
± 7.500 FLAC [16b] files
and the rest is 'simply' mp3@320.

Now, maybe the mp3 files disqualify me completely for being a serious audiophile. But as long as the music is well produced, I can still totally enjoy them too

Hmm...it sounded a lot at first look, then I put some numbers around my head, and...it doesn't seem too many anymore

Cheers!

My AK daps even have an extra 256gb onboard => approx 70K songs on those. I like the variety while listening to 'all songs' in shuffle mode, but of course I also listen to complete albums from time to time

Good grief... Turns out I'm the only normal guy around here! Who would have thought...

One of the greatest rock voices ever indeed! I do like Soundgarden as well, but when I was in a bar many years ago, and heard this song for the very first time...

...played out of a jukebox that they had over there. It was like I was struck by lightning => goosebumps all over my body at that moment

Good grief... Turns out I'm the only normal guy around here! Who would have thought...

drftr

Yeah, right!!!

Just keep telling that to yourself, like some kind of mantra
