The Amps: Schiit Jotunheim 2, Burson Playmate 2 and Qudelix 5k Comparison

This forum isn’t supposed to be head-fi. You disagree with my assessment? Awesome, love to discuss that.

I assume you have heard and/or own the qudelix, dunu zen, lsa hp-2 ultra, ananda, jot 2 with 4490 card, burson playmate 2 and you are very well aware of any synergies between said devices.

Therefore, you should be able to explain what I am hearing, or not hearing, and pick something out that would show me better sound than these do. And frankly, with all this experience you seem to be claiming to have, you should be able to extrapolate to some degree what my preferences are. Particularly based on the large amount of verbal diarrhea I have provided on this forum. Go read up. Lots out there. You really should be able to explain to me why I seem to like the hp-2 more than others. I still don’t know. Same with the Zen. I am learning more reasons with everything I try. But I still don’t have the information to better the hp-2 or it’s sources.

I can completely accept that I am bouncing around mid-fi to no avail. But you have quite snotily indicated that my assessments are wrong. And, when I pose specific questions about what headphones I should have to hear these differences, you ignore it.

Now, if what all this snottiness is saying is “there is no difference between these, you are wasting your time”, then we may be on the same page.

So what is it? Hmmm?

What you sound like is someone that simply wants to feel superior in your knowledge. And again, that is not what this forum is for (whether that knowledge is superior or not). Go to head-fi if that is what you want.

Contribute constructively, or leave. That’s what the goal is around here.

so, put together a reasonably priced system that will blow my mind. I will take it seriously. You say you gave advice? Not in this thread. You want me to expand my experiences? Me too. Are there limits to what I can change? Yes, yes there are. If you can’t do better within those limits, the only thing you are showing, again, is your desire to shout superiority. That, to me, is much worse verbal diarrhea than anything I am doing. The difference being that I fully admit I don’t know what’s going on and don’t understand my own observations.

So, again, choose to share your wisdom, or choose to let me live in ignorance of you.

Thanks.
