Unexpected surprise. The 4th gen scarlett's DAC/line out is superb. (alien.top)
 

Just wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing or if it's just me. Noticable improvement in almost every set I threw into it. The 3rd gen was noticably weaker and added a weird "warmth" to the bass and treble. As a streamer and musician this has freed up some valuable desk space and I've repurposed my main PC DAC into another system.

Normally it wouldn't be worth mentioning but the difference is strong enough for me to wonder if my gen3 was actually slightly defective. Thoughts/experiences from anyone else by chance?

Do you guys have a DAP? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

For streaming? No thanks.just use your phone. If you've got a very large collection of ripped high quality non compressed music then they're pretty awesome. I love my Sony and wouldn't trade it for the world but without that collection it's pointless. Hell I could argue still that it's pointless but I really love the device regardless. I'd say it's not necessary by any means but if you have the spare cash and want a spare device for high quality locally stored audio then go for it.

Honestly I ended up falling in love with the pro x for gaming. Curious as to your opinion after you've had more time with it. My only complaint was how long it took for me to stretch out the pro x for my big head but its comfortable now and the build quality combined with how easy it is to take it apart is nice. Musically they're very pleasant but not quite the profile I'm looking for. Still, amazing headphones and one of my daily drivers.
