The Watercooler-- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first

Also, finally tried the Astell & Kern SE300. The SE300 isn’t bad tor the price. Certainly sounds warmer and fuzzier than flagship DAPs but not sure if it sounds R2R. This is coming from a long-term Holo May owner.

But it is nice to look at and it feels light.

But I don’t wanna knock the DAP for what it does. For $1900, its a rather competent performer. At only $99 more, I would take a Cayin N7 though.
