In his recent video appearances, Jude looks physically more frail(less body mass/muscle) than he was a few years ago?

John Darko did an almost wordless review of the he1k and gave it a knockout award.

LMAO!

So I take that to mean it's a great approximation of reality but won't fool anyone who's not a grandma?

Well, in so many words he said:

"The HE-1000 headphones (US$3000) are to music what the Oculus Rift is to computer gaming."

Is that a good thing? I dunno.

He also have it a DAR-KO award, and so he did for MrSpeaker's Ether, Schiit Audio Bifrost Uber w/ Gen 2 USB DAC, and Schiit Audio Modi 24/96 DAC. However he did the same for the Mytek Stereo192-DSD DAC.

So what does that mean? It means I dunno. Ambiguous.

This has got to be a low point - even for the "reviewers" in this thread.  He seems to be quite smug about his review in his comments too.  Amazing.

Tyll and the Ultrasone were low on words but I was not confused.

John Darko is acting like a Hype-Fi troll.
