| Six DAC Comparison Amir is proud. Of what? | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. something a little more calming, cerebral, thought evoking. You should listen to Death Grips or Chat Pile sometimes Or can’t we show kids the way anymore? Is it all up to them? Yep. You can take a horse to the water, but you can't make it d... | |

| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Characterize audio as a "hobby" and it will surely die. Folks starting families and careers don't have time for hobbies. But almost all love music, and many care about it being accurately presented. So it's fairly easy to envision a bright future... | |
