Hidizs DH1000

@allnick Way to support startups.

@allnick @jeddyhsu What's the point to create a startup for a product that already exists in almost identical fashion?

@allnick Why the hell is this on kickstarter if they are just dropshipping.

@jonasbjornsson because they want to make money of course!

@jeddyhsu lol ... so because they area a "startup" I shouldn't share with the community a cheaper alternative?

@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.
