Yes, but the ascended Chads enjoys the best of both worlds and redeems both CCA CRA and Aria SE.
CRA will cover most music genres, while Aria SE is the main choice for anime watching.

buy speakers.

>3 stars
>and it isn't even the snow one, which isn't there yet
at least put some effort

>aria has three stars, "worth the blind"
This just shows it's really good though?

You don't have speakers already?

Reminder that listening to any “reviewer” that immediately discredits the thing they are reviewing because it doesn’t meet their personal taste is untrustworthy and biased.

Make your own assumptions and listen to the experiences of impartial reviewers.

Remember to filter all blind recommendations that don’t line up with your needs. Don’t recommend chu to bassfags and don’t recommend cra to neutralfags. Your are making this general even more retarded by doing this.

Lastly, enjoy listening to music and go fuck yourselves.

Chu sucks.

thanks crin

>reddit spacing
>asking for a safespace

there's literally nothing wrong with blind recommending cra+aria se+abigail to every beginner or any iem enthusiast at all though
this $100 investment covers pretty much every need possible until you can afford to tackle into more technical $300 and above stuff

Any USB DAC better quality than Apple USB-C to Headphone Jack Adapter (A2155) that is in the same price range?

sir, I can agree with that for beginners who know nothing but we both know that isn’t what I am talking about.

Whatever helps you cope with that POS I guess

Can't even imagine buying the variations or oxygen, two best ways to throw your money away

Ackshually...
All you need is one or the other and EQ. A single competently designed baseline set > tuning variants.

B2Dusk and S8 are the far superior choices

CRA is better for EQ purposes.
