Mayflower Electronics Objective 2 Headphone Amp, DAC & T50RP v3 Headphones


Mayflower Electronics Website www.mayflowerelectronics.com

Hey Nerdgasm followers, this was a attention-grabbing and laborious video for me to do. It all began when a man named Tyler who owns a small firm named Mayflower Electronics contacted me after I did my evaluate of the Woo Audio WA7 Fireflies headphone amplifier. He instructed me in not so many phrases that I used to be stuffed with it and being taken benefit of or ripped off by Woo Audio. He was very passionate so I talked to him on Skype for some time and he defined loads about audio and headphones. He supplied to ship me a set a set of headphones, amp and dac to evaluate stating that his setup underneath $300 was higher then the $1000 Woo Audio WA7 fireflies. I made a decision to take him up on his supply and after I acquired the amp within the mail seemed have been deceiving. I could not determine how one thing so mild weight with such a small energy block may produce higher outcomes then the fireflies which has a large energy brick and weighs a ton.

This was one of many occasions in my life when I’ve actually been amazed by how simply you may choose a e book by its cowl. The Objective 2 amp is wonderful, it has zero noise or distortion at 100% quantity and might push all of my headphones even excessive impedance to ear shattering quantity with out distorting. When I in contrast the Woo Audio amp to it aspect by aspect switching backwards and forwards with equal quantity I couldn’t inform the distinction, there was no change within the audio high quality or frequencies that I may inform. When I switched to my Xonar Essence STX I may hear the extra noise at excessive quantity and the sound high quality felt somewhat totally different and missing. It’s wonderful to see a lower than $300 setup truly being higher sounding then the $1000 setup. Plus it had many different professionals which I’ll discuss within the video over the fireflies. I’m beginning to see that there’s extra to being an Audiophile then blowing some huge cash. I’m beginning to suppose at the very least within the headphone world that a few of these audio firms is likely to be worth gouging only a bit an excessive amount of.

Now from an aesthetics standpoint the WA7 appears to be like wonderful, the standard of the parts are prime notch and it is like jewellery in your desktop. And the sound high quality on it’s wonderful! But I kinda of really feel prefer it’s a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 the place because the Objective 2 is sort of a Nissan GTR. The Lambo is quick, wonderful, lovely however prices Three occasions extra then the GTR however the GTR will outrun all of it day lengthy. Both are completely wonderful automobiles however one is technically higher for much less cash the place as the opposite one is extra lovely.

The video in all probability would not present it however this video took over every week to make as a result of I needed to preserve leaping backwards and forwards between the amps making an attempt to understand and discover a distinction however I failed. I used to be secretly hoping that the Objective 2 and the DAC would present some signal of weak point the place the Fireflies simply soared excessive above however moreover aesthetics they each carried out fantastically and the Objective 2 setup did it for a fraction of the fee, a lot much less area on my desk, way more serviceable elements and higher compatibility and drivers. How are you able to look away from that?

I might be shopping for the AMP and DAC from Tyler after posting this video and protecting it. I personally did not like the nice and cozy sound of the T50RP headphones however they have been nonetheless a tremendous product for what they have been designed to be however I might be sending these again since I have already got so many different headphones that produce a sound that’s extra to my liking for gaming and music.

I hope you loved this video, I do know it was somewhat off from my regular movies however this was actually troublesome to evaluate as a result of it was so freaking good and saved making me remorse spending $1000 for one thing as a result of I truthfully thought it was wanted to drive very costly headphones and it seems that was a fable!
