[latent mural]

[forest sphinx]

depends on the ask

[latent mural]

I want to "macro" a key, so when i toggle it, it's like i press it until i untoggle it

Like if i press on "v" it's "vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv" infinity

Until i tap on it again

is it doable ? sorry my english is kinda bad

[forest sphinx]

what kinda board to you have?

[latent mural]

I have the wooting one

[forest sphinx]

is it a wooting?

Okay go ask in support

or software

[latent mural]

Oh sorry i tought tech talk was about that

my bad

[forest sphinx]

no worries! honest mistake

[latent mural]

Ty have a great day

[prime halo]

Are they gona make new stock for wooting one tkl ?

[crisp granite]

nope

it's gone

for good

[reef patrol]

However Wooting are trying to grab some last, last last stock from parts of the world to ship to customers.

Keep an eye on their Twitter for updates on this - Expect to pay more for shipping than usual, since they have to ship these weirdly.

[prime halo]

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Thanks

Im gona pay 500dollars

[crisp granite]

have fun with that

they also aren't gonna be ready for a while iirc

[pale sigil]

Can have my wooting for thst if you want

[crisp granite]

so if you need it for a cash cup next week or something, not happening

[forest sphinx]

wooting already got my money

I ain't buying another board until my le breaks

[prime halo]

Can I buy a wooting one for 300dol ?

[crisp granite]

on ebay

ye

[pale sigil]

If you wanna buy mine sure

[prime halo]

Really @pale sigil ?

[crisp granite]

he ain't selling through ebay

since ebay sucks donkey balls

with extra fees

[reef patrol]

I like eBay.

[ashen spindle]

you literally told him to check on ebay 2 messages above it..

[reef patrol]

They re-packaged my Mac Classic insanely well.

[prime halo]

@pale sigil Are u gona make 60% keyb like ducky one mini ?

[reef patrol]

Only Wooting know that for sure 😄

But they HAVE teased something in that size .. ish.

[crisp granite]

yes, because people post shit on ebay to sell at inflated prices

I thought there would be listings

just not callum's

[cursive summit]

You buying for 500$?

I am selling mine then

[prime halo]

No no was a joke but 300 yes

[cursive summit]

300$ already is a good deal for something I paid 200 for 👀

[reef patrol]

You might as well wait for the HE at that point xD

Get fresh warranty.

[crisp granite]

mmm

[cursive summit]

Mmm, fresh papers..

[crisp granite]

fresh warranties

new switches

[cursive summit]

The smell of papers nobody really reads

[urban lynx]

my guess is it's somewhere between TKL and 60%
not exactly 60% but also not just TKL...

[crisp granite]

thanks for the help saki

[cursive summit]

Calder said it's TKL or smaller

[reef patrol]

😄

[cursive summit]

It's not decided yet

But he literally on stream said

TKL or smaller

[crisp granite]

smaller than TKL

that means not a tkl

[cursive summit]

Nope TKL or smaller

[crisp granite]

but smaller

[reef patrol]

I personally guess 60% because it's so popular right now.

[crisp granite]

I'm guessing a 65%

because it's more functional than a 60%

[reef patrol]

But I'm all about TKL or larger so I have no bone in this game 😄

[crisp granite]

true

[reef patrol]

TKL is small enough for a carry bag.

[crisp granite]

my first 60% is my last 60%

[ashen spindle]

I doubt they care about it since it's for FNCS or similar, so getting it earlier >> fresh warranty

[crisp granite]

it's not good at all

[reef patrol]

And since I have a PC that weighs like 70 pounds anyhow... what is a slightly larger keyboard 😄

[crisp granite]

what is "pound"?

[urban lynx]

i'm tagging along there

[reef patrol]

Freedumb units my dude!

[crisp granite]

a weight in kilograms would be great

[reef patrol]

Like 40 kilos I think.

[crisp granite]

I'm not a dumb ape...I think

[reef patrol]

With all the watercooling it adds up 😄

[urban lynx]

wat?

40 kgs?

[crisp granite]

ye

[urban lynx]

it almost weighs as much as i do??

[crisp granite]

that's scary then

[reef patrol]

Lemme see if I can math it.

It's a heavy boi forsure

[prime halo]

how mushway time do u think they will make more stock @reef patrol

[crisp granite]

you're dangerously underweight if you weight 40 kilos @urban lynx, I hope that was just fumbling with the math there

[ashen spindle]

0 times

[reef patrol]

No more One or Two being made, ever. 🙂

[crisp granite]

yep

[reef patrol]

Only the HE (Which replaces the Two) and the mysterious "small one"

[crisp granite]

the flaretech boards are gone for good

[misty pier]

day 2.. nuking windows off my nvme

[reef patrol]

Right ... so my case alone weighs 15KG 😄

Before parts.

[crisp granite]

nice

[urban lynx]

[misty pier]

i guess doing a fresh reinstall each year for windows is good but its very inconvenient

[urban lynx]

i could barely lift that tbh

[cursive summit]

https://clips.twitch.tv/TubularCredulousSandpiperNotLikeThis

[reef patrol]

So much math. Almost 4 kg of radiators 😄

[cursive summit]

And they are actually aiming for this year

Wooting TKL or lower in 2021

[reef patrol]

We've heard THAT one before 😄

[crisp granite]

mansen, you making me peanut butter and jealous rn

[prime halo]

And when the "small one" will come

[cursive summit]

This year, probably

[crisp granite]

after the 2HE ships

[cursive summit]

Late 2021

[reef patrol]

Alright - So with parts and coolant. Maybe 35kg. Slightly less than my spitball estimate. Still more than I care to lift for long. Definitely want a cart for it to go to LAN 😄

[cursive summit]

Way after Wooting 2 HE

Wooting 1 HE isn't even designed yet

[prime halo]

#🔌│tech message @reef patrol

[crisp granite]

probably won't be for a long ass while

[cursive summit]

It won't be out for as long as 2 HE was

[crisp granite]

is not any time soon good enough?

[cursive summit]

2 HE just needs to be downscaled

The research is there

[reef patrol]

Can't tell ya. If Wooting says it's coming in 2021...then realistically it will probably be in early 2022 😄

[cursive summit]

Downscaling a wheel is easier than inventing it

[reef patrol]

Given previous product estimates.

[prime halo]

okok thks for information

[cursive summit]

Yeah I wouldn't bet for before Christmas

[crisp granite]

christmas?

dude

[cursive summit]

JINXMAS

[crisp granite]

at this rate

[prime halo]

And for that when #🔌│tech message @reef patrol

[crisp granite]

I don't think I'll get a wooting 2 HE before christmas

[cursive summit]

Poor fuck

[reef patrol]

No idea Brook. Like I said - Keep an eye on the Twitter account. 🙂

[crisp granite]

it's customs dude

they suck

[prime halo]

ok ok

Wooting (@WootingKB)

Done my best to find more boards for EU customers.

I found 90 Wooting one boards that we can reroute to the EU. This is only US ANSI layout.

But it cost us 30EUR per keyboard to air ship now (CNY). Want to split the bill 50/50?

Then it’ll cost 155 EUR excl. shipping for 1.Yes?

plus I'm expecting more delays

[reef patrol]

This is the Tweet. So... follow the account 😄

[cursive summit]

I mean you should already PM Wooting for your spot

The demand is massive so you either PM them on Twitter or you done

[crisp granite]

tbh

those spots are probably gone by now

[cursive summit]

Yep

Look at the replies

There is way more than 90 replies there

[crisp granite]

ye

that ship hath sailed

pardon my french, but it appears that most are shit out of luck right now

[cursive summit]

I'll part with mine for 500$. Just saying

[crisp granite]

post that in the fortnut chat

or in the fortnite discord

it'll sell easily

[cursive summit]

Guy died

His daughter's hot

[true quest]

[cursive summit]

Like

[vagrant marsh]

our daughter

wait. sounds wrong

[true quest]

his left or ours lmao

[vagrant marsh]

the tanned one

clear enough for ya? :p

[true quest]

yeah, only took you three messages lol

[misty saffron]

do you want me to prove y’all minesweeper is a video player

[vagrant marsh]

still. i did say the one on the left. i mean, you look at the picture as you look at it. there is no his left. you look at the picture, left is left

[misty saffron]

https://youtu.be/c1sIje9owxY

easy

[true quest]

no, there is def his left as well

[vagrant marsh]

yea, but on his left there is some rimpled old lady

well. im not judging your preferences

[true quest]

she do be kind of old

i aint judging yours either

[vagrant marsh]

you know my preferences?

[true quest]

as much as you know mine

[ivory geyser]

Yea, your preference are hot ladies

[vagrant marsh]

you've seen that?

[ivory geyser]

Well I mean you would have to be blind to not see that

[crisp granite]

I thought his preference were big honkers

[vagrant marsh]

well

yes

[crisp granite]

that's just lovely

[vagrant marsh]

it is

[crisp granite]

I'm sure it is

[vagrant marsh]

why wouldnt it be

[crisp granite]

it's just not my preference

as you already know

[vagrant marsh]

why cant you enjoy big balls of love?

[true quest]

im sure he does, it's called butt

[crisp granite]

yes

ass

mmm

[vagrant marsh]

ohh. i also can enjoy a big nice round but firm ass

[crisp granite]

tbh, I do like breasts

but not huge ones

moderation

good things come in reasonable sizes and all that shite

[vagrant marsh]

boy, you just need to appreciate that love comes in all kinds of sizes. and the bigger the love, the bigger the size.

[crisp granite]

fine

whatever you say, chief

[ivory geyser]

If it is too big, it can cause the lady backpains tho, that isnt very cool either.

[vagrant marsh]

just trust uncle jeruzalem

[crisp granite]

I find that pretty hard to do

[ivory geyser]

[crisp granite]

btw

because you said "uncle Jeruzalem", I got the ability to just say "sure, old man" whenever you say something false

[vagrant marsh]

okey boomer

[crisp granite]

not a boomer

[vagrant marsh]

sure thing, boomer

[crisp granite]

that would be insane tbh

[vagrant marsh]

[crisp granite]

imagine a 50-60 year old still gaming

[true quest]

there has to be a handful

[crisp granite]

actually

ye

my dad is getting back into it

so, at least one

[vagrant marsh]

you dont know skyrim grandma?

[crisp granite]

she's way older than that

and I think she passed

[cursive summit]

What

No?

Skyrim grandma got a covid shot a few days ago

[crisp granite]

ah

cool

[cursive summit]

Forgot her name

[crisp granite]

Shirley Curry, iirc

[cursive summit]

Yeah

[crisp granite]

btw, you gotta be a real ass to diss an 80-something year old person enjoying video games

[cursive summit]

Someone's dissing Shirley?

[crisp granite]

ye

a while ago

[cursive summit]

I know there was that old grandpa who plays runescape

Still does I think

Keemstar called him a pedo

Tbh that story was sketchy af

I looked into it, way too much evidence points the old man did something bad

[vagrant marsh]

really?

[cursive summit]

As far as I could see, there was a lot of shady info against the old man

Don't really want to shed bad light on the poor elder but dunno that story isn't good

Though he's still being awesome and streaming so

[urban lynx]

so. you mean my dad?

[crisp granite]

I guess

stepdad?

[urban lynx]

he's the reason me and my sisters even got into gaming. why my sister had that fancy snes with mario world and all that

nah. my stepdad is like 30 something

[crisp granite]

wow

that must be odd

he's probably closer in age to you than your mom

[urban lynx]

let me calculate, one sec

nope. i think he is near perfectly in the middle rn

[crisp granite]

cool

[cursive summit]

Yeah I'm not planning to stop gaming until my 80s when I am blind

[crisp granite]

same

[crisp granite]

very helpful, as always

thanks saki

[urban lynx]

always trying my best

[crisp granite]

I know

and you're doing great

but seriously

[urban lynx]

do you notice a trend by now?

[crisp granite]

ye

[urban lynx]

alright then

[crisp granite]

:kekleo:

[urban lynx]

what is so serious then?

[crisp granite]

I don't know who the king is?

still trying to find out

meh

I'll just stumble until I hit it eventually

like I always do

[urban lynx]

or he stumbles upon you

[crisp granite]

true that

[thick elk]

I can generally understand french and speak it, however my memory of how to write it is buried in some deep dark memories of high school.

[crisp granite]

ye

for me, it's just the basics of reading and writing

[thick elk]

The same hole as I put the grammer in and also German.

[urban lynx]

ich verstehe nicht.

[crisp granite]

anything more than the basics and I'm stumped

[urban lynx]

[crisp granite]

thanks saki

helpful as always

either not understanding or being unable to explain

[urban lynx]

que? hablo espaniol hermano?

[true quest]

なに

[crisp granite]

muy fresco, pero podemos dejar caer esta mierda idioma y sólo hablar Inglés, como siempre?

thanks

[urban lynx]

[crisp granite]

that's a no then

great

[urban lynx]

question is, which language do you mean?

[crisp granite]

english

[urban lynx]

no. i mean which is the "dumb" language?

[crisp granite]

whichever one I speak at any given moment

because that one is being spoken, usually horribly so, by a dumbass

[urban lynx]

i dont think this is how that works

[crisp granite]

it is sister

or at least that's how I see it

feel free to think differently

[crisp lion]

Razer just announced an analog keyboard. Lol

Not even close to Wooting imo.

[latent mural]

270€

xddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

[cursive summit]

"Not even close to Wooting"

[latent mural]

They literally fuck themselves with pricing everytime

[cursive summit]

Subjective

They didn't list many of the details

Actuation depth, key response time, etc

[wheat plume]

its true analog like wooting?

[cursive summit]

But it has media keys, USB passthrough

@wheat plume Again no idea

[wheat plume]

oh

[latent mural]

It has only 1.5mm

[wheat plume]

razer, makes sense

Razer want to be fast for gamers

[latent mural]

Their normal Huntsman has better actuatuion

[crisp lion]

https://www.razer.com/gaming-keyboards/razer-huntsman-v2-analog/RZ03-03610200-R3U1

[latent mural]

Lmao they straight up copied the Wooting range

[crisp lion]

And in a bad way too

[cursive summit]

The whole keeb looks like improved Wooting

I mean how can you make a keeb look different nowadays

Add a useless OLED display to the corner?

[latent mural]

It looks like an improved Two but the Two HE is miles ahead

[wheat plume]

A S C E N D to Analog

[crisp lion]

This

[wheat plume]

THE ACTUATION RANGE IS THE SAME

[cursive summit]

Two HE is spearheading analog technology to begin with

This is Razer's first attempt so it's alright

[latent mural]

I like that u can bind 2 sperate functions on the Razer to one key

[reef patrol]

You mean DKS(tm) ?

[wheat plume]

Synapse is shit tho

[wheat plume]

Wooting has that

[latent mural]

It looks pretty good but the price makes it ridiculous

[latent mural]

Okay nice

Didnt know that

[cursive summit]

Fuck Synapse

Love Wootility

[crisp lion]

And this. Mine keeps breaking here and there with the most basic shit.

[latent mural]

Synapse is a pain in the ass

[wheat plume]

See, you can do 3 actions per key

[cursive summit]

Meh I don't see much of an appeal for that keyboard

[latent mural]

Ahhh now I see

[reef patrol]

It's a Wooting you can actually buy.

[latent mural]

Im gonna be waiting for the 2 HE Mini c:

And then Ill switch the springs

c:

[cursive summit]

Other than Razer's far more recognisable branding, it shouldn't have too much appeal

It's not TKL which every Fortnite player and their mothers want

[latent mural]

I cant go back to even TKL thats why I gave my Wooting to my brother which I now regret lol

Just doesnt work out with my mouse pad and arm positioning

[wheat plume]

Branding is how Razer and Apple are still around

[cursive summit]

Yeah fuck Apple

I mean Apple's years ahead of other companies when it comes to many areas

Smartphones, thin and lights

I just hate the brand

[crisp lion]

It shouldn't have too much appeal but it will. You pay for Razers logo, not the quality (with a few exceptions), and people fell into that loophole and accepted the overpriced items sadly.

[wheat plume]

Ok yeah, their M1 macbooks

[latent mural]

U might get the issue of a keyboard bigger than mine

I heard they even wanna get into the car industry

[latent mural]

Apple

[cursive summit]

Yeah Apple's going to put their nose in everything

Just cause they can

Superbrand if you may say so

[latent mural]

I mean the market allows them to

[cursive summit]

Man I don't like the iOS

Confusing mess

[latent mural]

Same as Tesla

I like my iOS

[cursive summit]

Tesla's at least cool, unlike apple

[latent mural]

Musk is the perfect example of a publicity head

XD

You just cannot not listen to him

[crisp lion]

Wdym? You don't like $1000 monitor stands and $100 regular cables? Smh

[reef patrol]

I can certainly TRY 😛

[latent mural]

• overpriced pcs with shit technology in them

I hate MacOS

iOS is fine

[cursive summit]

Buying a Mac? 2000$ base price. Here, have an RX 550

[crisp lion]

Lmao

"It's for companies"

[wheat plume]

Isnt the Mac Mini $700?

[latent mural]

The M1 Macbook seems to be the only reasonable purchase since a while

[cursive summit]

Hackintosh is at least cool

[latent mural]

Ahead of the competition and not too far form pricing

Gonna wait for a v2 there

Rn Im waiting for the iPad Pro with the M1 cause I need one for university this year

[cursive summit]

Fam when will Razer learn

This shit sucks

Fuck leather wrist rests

[latent mural]

Or the old gen becomes better money value

Yeah

[cursive summit]

Give me good old reliable SILICON

[latent mural]

Leather is a scam

XD

3 months in and its unusable

[reef patrol]

Sssssh! BigLeather will find you.

[cursive summit]

Fam I want to chew on my damn wrist rest at times

And best thing I actually can

[wheat plume]

uh

why you chew it...

[cursive summit]

It pisses me off

I feel like my wrists are developing an allergy to it

Somehow they get sore

[reef tundra]

Sweat + leather = glue

[wheat plume]

leather also gets COLD AF

the couch in the sitting room I shiver

[urban lynx]

until you sit on it for a while

then you magnetise to this warmed spot

[wheat plume]

true

[latent mural]

And in summer u stick to it

[wheat plume]

LOL

[latent mural]

U become one with the rest

[urban lynx]

but yeah. it sucks when you sweat and wear a short skirt or hotpants...

you'll literally never escape it ever again.

trust me.

[wheat plume]

Things im never ging to be able to wear in public

[latent mural]

Thats why a got myself a non leather chair

[urban lynx]

oh i'll make you

[reef patrol]

[solar hinge]

i do have this feeling that next time they're going to go up in price quite a bit

[latent mural]

yeah 2nd gen is always a huge increase

[solar hinge]

sure but part of the reason now is, that it does not have an intel cpu

but with how well it was received and how well it's working, i think they're going to price it close to the same as the intel versions

[old marlin]

trying to get a raspberry pi to automatically grab images from a network share and display them

pretty basica thing in general

it was decided that the network share should be an existing one though and not one hosted by the pi

and feh cannot display images from a 64 bit network storage server if it runs on 32 bit itself

[crimson wigeon]

Wait what why would that matter

[old marlin]

don't ask me I didn't make feh

they claim that if you compile it yourself you can make it work

only difference was that feh could find the images but not open them

[crimson wigeon]

Yolo something stupid like copy image to /tmp then show it from there?

[old marlin]

the images have to be swapped out though

ig I am syncing the network attached folder with another local folder?

worked

[crimson wigeon]

Sure that would also be viable........ but I still don't understand the problem wouldn't you just mount the network share so it's like any other mount what's the difference to software other than it having some slowness pepeg

[old marlin]

it was mounted

but the host server was 64 bits

and the raspberry pi obviously isn't

[crimson wigeon]

Axeactly

[thick elk]

64 vs 32 should not matter as far as I know, hell the bigger difference is arm vs x86.
And you can run a pi 3 or later with arm64. Either way very different architecture and there is no real reason for it to matter.

[old marlin]

It shouldn't matter

But it does with feh

[reef tundra]

You could try looking at sxiv if it might be usefull

[old marlin]

eh

got it working now

and don't care about the space used on the raspberry

was mainly a stupid hoop to jump through, it won't ever have more than 10 images in there

[zenith sonnet]

'Tis one tough box

Interesting

Those brown boxes are the original packaging

Damn, this is some solid industrial packaging

[urban lynx]

looks like sea freight packaging

[zenith sonnet]

It probably is

But the rigidy doesn't fit the contents at all xD

I'd expect 20-50 Kg machinery parts in that packaging

[cursive summit]

Oo the Sundara

Damn I would really want one

[zenith sonnet]

Go get some

[urban lynx]

i mean, rather have it arrive safely than not

[zenith sonnet]

Amazon should take a lesson

That's the premium experience

I was about to write: "Time to find out how much this cable really sucks", but it's too short

The K702 has a frigging great cable

3m or something long, and survives years of use and cat abuse

OH MY GOD

[hard thicket]

the th610 also comes with a great cable

it's like 5m

great for desk usage

[zenith sonnet]

I'm at a loss of words

[hard thicket]

first time experiencing planars ? heh

im always returning to mine no matter what headphones i use, it's a different experience

especially the lows are a different experience

[pale sigil]

Ngl

Packaging is stupid af

I'd tether save money than pay for thst nonsense

[hard thicket]

welcome to the headphone world

[pale sigil]

I mean

I haven't seen anything as stupid

[hard thicket]

most high end stuff comes packaged like that

look at apple products

[pale sigil]

Apple and High end don't mix

[hard thicket]

well indeed

but you know what i mean

[zenith sonnet]

Uhuh
It's a different world from my K712 Pro. And I thought those were great

I have a feeling the Sundara is easier to drive, though

[hard thicket]

for clearity and details i think the K712 is better suited

[wheat plume]

wtf is this case?

[hard thicket]

but for listening and enjoyment, sundara all the way

[crisp granite]

guarantied irish

I've never been more worried in my life for a pc

[wheat plume]

yeah.....

I'm waiting on my Schiit stack to come back in stock before giving that more thought
After plugging the Sundara's in my E10K, I think the problem might not be with the headphones

They have so much more oompf

Also..

that AMSR

[hard thicket]

JDS labs is also a good alternative to schiit

[zenith sonnet]

Holy crap

I'm tingling all over and I turned the music off minutes ago

they have some top notch Dac's and amp's

[zenith sonnet]

Lel, tingling from head to toe?

Funny stuff, I can do that willingly

[hard thicket]

once you try actually decent heaphones it's kinda addicting

when i first got into audio stuff i thought i'd become homless considering the stupid amount of money i spend into

[zenith sonnet]

You make me wanna send them back already

[hard thicket]

lmaooo

sorry

[zenith sonnet]

Ananda? Susvara? Where does it stop?

[wheat plume]

hmmm

should have looked at this before getting the monitors

[hard thicket]

i stopped when i bought the audeze LCD2's

[crisp granite]

it's 75 hz

[hard thicket]

that was already quite a sum back then

[wheat plume]

yeh same as mine

[crisp granite]

for 169 euros

I can't help but feel as if that is a shit buy

[wheat plume]

150 euro

yeah hm

but my ones are TN panel and were 120 each

[zenith sonnet]

Save up a little more and get an actually decent monitor

Seriously

[hard thicket]

this ^

[wheat plume]

I dont want mismatched monitors

[hard thicket]

there are some good monitors at the 300-400$ range

[wheat plume]

the difference in color bothers me

I know

[hard thicket]

geez

[reef tundra]

Color calibration?

[hard thicket]

how about you join the 32:9 masterrace

[wheat plume]

oh gosh xd

dont have enough desk xd

[hard thicket]

it's like two monitors

[zenith sonnet]

I can do 48:9

[hard thicket]

filthy triple screen user

[wheat plume]

what an easy to remember monitor name you got there Samsung

[hard thicket]

that's like every monitor out there

[zenith sonnet]

27GL850 is all you need to remember 😄

[hard thicket]

whats the 550 in there

for what

jesus

[zenith sonnet]

Though, there are more monitors using the panel tech now...

[wheat plume]

$500

[zenith sonnet]

Worth it

[hard thicket]

CRG9

890$ the last time i've seen

[wheat plume]

O.o

[hard thicket]

it's cheaper in retail

[crisp granite]

just get a samsung G9 at that point

[hard thicket]

the prices on samungs site are somewhat off

[crisp granite]

same rez

[wheat plume]

my PC aint powerful enough LEL

[zenith sonnet]

Time to turn off filthy internet audio and listen to some flak

[crisp granite]

mine isn't either

[hard thicket]

Flac*

[zenith sonnet]

Either sounds good to me

[crisp granite]

a 3090 isn't enough for AAA gaming on a 5120x1440 screen

tbh

[hard thicket]

positive side is

[crisp granite]

5120x1440 is the dream rez

[hard thicket]

It's future proof

you won't ever bottleneck your monitor

[crisp granite]

smert

[hard thicket]

with 5120x1440 you are even safe for the next generation of gpu's

in 3 years or so

[zenith sonnet]

Lets see how they handle Kokou no Sousei

[hard thicket]

well but it's most of the time the monitor

[crisp granite]

and probably the next gen after that as well

[hard thicket]

but since there are 4K Oled TV's

with 120hz

[crisp granite]

I'll upgrade my PC in 2024

[hard thicket]

the G9 became pointless

[crisp granite]

my 3070 should be fine for 1080p gaming till then?

[hard thicket]

AM5 hype

[crisp granite]

ah yes

AM5

shit looks hot

[hard thicket]

next year

right ?

[crisp granite]

idk

[hard thicket]

or wait was it this year

[crisp granite]

I think "advanced node" was this year

could be wrong

[hard thicket]

https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/AMD-Zen-Roadmap-2020_EPYC-Milan-EPYC-Genoa_1.png

2022

or so

[crisp granite]

so, genoa may come out late this year of early next

[ashen spindle]

def not this year

[hard thicket]

genoa will be AM4 ?

[ashen spindle]

nope

[hard thicket]

DDR5 ?

PCIE 5?

sounds good enough to me

[crisp granite]

that would be a set of great reasons

[ashen spindle]

the segment we are all in is literally the one making the lowest margin by a mile

[crisp granite]

but DDR5 sticks would need to be available by then

otherwise that would just be really stupid

[ashen spindle]

ddr5 is already in production

[hard thicket]

im already happy for the amount of discussions like we had with DDR3 to 4

" IS IT WORTH IT ???"

[zenith sonnet]

Am I hearing the limitations of the microphone, bad mixing, or is it the CD compression or my DAC ?

[hard thicket]

great times are ahead of us

[hard thicket]

E10K ain't really a top dac so

[crisp granite]

yes, solely on the basis of "next gen cpus won't support DDR4 but support DDR5"

maybe there's more to it

but that's all that matters to me in the end

[zenith sonnet]

I purposely built an all out rig on AM4
I can get into DDR5 on iteration three or so

[hard thicket]

yeah i also skipped Ryzen 5000 entirely just because of AM5

so hopefully i won't be regretting that

[zenith sonnet]

Is it normal with planars that sound goes to shit if you move your hands anywhere near the outside of the cups?

Like, sound is off already if I put my hand 20cm away from my ear

Or, 10cm?

Something like that

Maybe
The AKG didn't do that, I could touch it without noticing a difference in sound

[hard thicket]

god bless quick disconnect fittings

time for a pump upgrade

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/mechanic-hammer-trust-me-im-a-mechanic-top-gear-jeremy-clarkson-gif-7525096

[hard thicket]

that sums up the whole process

remember folks, don't use resistors on pumps

i was hoping for some noise reduction with the pumps, it worked

but the resistors blew up after the second day while running

"emergency shutdown: cpu temperature"

[zenith sonnet]

Resistors?

Oh...

To throttle the pump?

Wonder if the headphones are going to like a 3.5mm extension cable

Theoretically, it should not matter

[hard thicket]

it doesn't really make a difference

and if you hear some, it's mostlikely placbo.

[neat oriole]

@zenith sonnet now that you have a sundara I highly recommend you throw out the stock cable and get this https://mezeaudio.eu/collections/accessories/products/99-series-silver-plated-upgrade-cables

[zenith sonnet]

I was about to go looking

Thanks

[neat oriole]

Stock cable is very jank

[zenith sonnet]

Oh, wait

[zenith sonnet]

I was about to go looking

Discord messed that up I think

[neat oriole]

Very nice cable

[zenith sonnet]

Jewelery, but put to good use?

[old marlin]

silver plated

what's gonaa happen

your audio connectors set themselves and you can't pull the plug anymore?

[neat oriole]

Sorta like jewelry, when I got my sundaras the cable was pretty jank, wouldn’t sit straight

[old marlin]

you are aware that silver oxidizes?

[neat oriole]

I tried a couple of after market cables, the paracord sleeved ones were too microphonic

[neat oriole]

It’s sealed inside

It’s just a nice cable that doesn’t get tangled and isn’t microphonic

[reef patrol]

Highly doubt that's silver plated 😄

[old marlin]

same

silver plating is a bitch

while gold plating is much easier to do

[neat oriole]

That jack is rhodium

[old marlin]

and cheaper because of it

ah ok

[neat oriole]

read the text

[old marlin]

I didn't open the link

why would you silver plate the leads though

[zenith sonnet]

Can I just get a decent copper cable?

[neat oriole]

You could, but none of the ones I tried were that great

I’m not talking about sound quality

They all sound the same

This one is just soft and doesn’t get kinks

If you want a more affordable alternative you could go visit Hart Audio or Periapt Cables

[pale sigil]

It's happened again

My bios screwed itself

I need help

Desperately

https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b550-f-gaming-model/helpdesk_bios

Can someone download this and send it to me

[fallow bison]

i mean.. i can, but its too large to send over discord. Want me to upload it elsewhere?

@pale sigil

[wheat plume]

got it

[fallow bison]

Nitro flex 😛

[wheat plume]

:P

[pale sigil]

Got it thanks

Had to use otg

I news to rma. My motherboard but I really can't be bothered :(

[reef patrol]

[neat oriole]

Oh it absolutely is snake oil. I’m saying get this nice cable because the stock one kinks up easily, is microphonic, and has a weird 90° connector. It won’t do anything to the sound quality unless the previous cable was literally shorting on itself or something.

[ashen spindle]

how do you already break your bios again lmao

[pale sigil]

I fucking didn't

[ashen spindle]

[pale sigil]

I literally just went to my room, booted it up and bam

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/game-of-thrones-margaery-tyrell-i-must-be-cursed-natalie-dormer-gif-12771408

Pleasant rn

[pale sigil]

I am cursed

Lol

[neat oriole]

So when your cable hits the edge of your table or rubs against your shirt or whatever, it passes that sound up to the headphones

[pale sigil]

Like

If j wasn't on beta software I'd be mad

[neat oriole]

The Paracord sleeved cables and straight rubber sleeved ones are the most “microphonic”

[pale sigil]

Firmware

[ashen spindle]

sooo.. you did break it

[neat oriole]

Not much you can do about it

It’s just physics

I don’t flick my cable but it tends to rub against my desk a lot so it’s kinda annoying

[cursive summit]

That's why you DT880s

[neat oriole]

I mean the Beyers have a decent stress reliever that probably helps a bit

Used HD650/600

200 ish euro

Something like an HD560s would be an upgrade from a 990

If you want new HD560s is pretty good

I would say it’s a lot better than a 990

Price =/= quality

People who recommend them are in my opinion extremely daft

Reddit in particular loves to circle jerk the 990

The 990 is extremely sibilant

Inexperienced listeners will view the extremely forward treble as “more detailed” when it’s not

But it gives first time listeners that sort of “wow factor”

Your brain gets used to things

It’s pretty normal

It’s like when people first try on really bass heavy headphones they might think “wow it’s really fun” but after a few songs they realize that the bass is just muddy and bleeds into everything else

Just get dongle

20 euro

What do you have currently

Get another dongle for your dongle

Usb a to c is like €5 tops

Also what’s your current dac

Dong is better

You won’t beat the dong until you’re spending 100+

[cursive summit]

How will you get that dong outside of U.S

[neat oriole]

Meizu dong

[cursive summit]

Honestly just get a Schiit tower

DAC and AMP

Modii 3+ and Heresy are pretty damn good

Pair that with Sundaras

[neat oriole]

Nah

[cursive summit]

Very capable rig

[neat oriole]

Magni 3+ > heresy

[cursive summit]

Yeah I beg to disagree on that one

Heresy is more boomy

[neat oriole]

Heresy more dead sounding

[cursive summit]

Modi is the DAC

Heresy is more boom

Magni more linear sound

[neat oriole]

Other way round

But I mean a meizu dongle will last until you get a Schiit Modi

Do you even have an amp?

What is it

Oh tubes

HD650 does really well on tubes

I wouldn’t tube a sundara

Tubes really only benefit high impedance dynamics

Well I have experience if you want to hear it

I wouldn’t go with whatever is popular

But anyways

I do

But you also have to understand that most people will just pick whatever is brighter sounding because it sounds better the first time they hear it

Or whatever is bassy

There are decent audiophile communities who will help

But reddit just isn’t one of those

HPHQ

Headphone headquarters

It’s a discord server

[ashen spindle]

"hphq audio" -> first result is the discord he mentioned

let me guess, you use bing search

[neat oriole]

Again, I wouldn’t drive planars on tubes. High output impedance and planar drivers don’t mix well

[neat oriole]

HD650/600 works pretty well with tubes

Keep a look out for used ones

[neat oriole]

600 for a more “neutral” sound. 650 for a slightly warmer and smoother sound.

[astral haven]

560s if you aren't that one dude who can't wear 500 series

[neat oriole]

580/600/650/6XX > 560

[reef tundra]

666 > 560

quick mafs

[zenith sonnet]

That was me 😄

[astral haven]

You tried the 560s?

Runs circles around the 650/6xx in everything but string instruments and extremely poorly mastered songs
Detail wise can even beat the 660s IMO

[zenith sonnet]

Too bad the soundstage on the Sundara is not as wide as on the K700's

What does a gain setting on an AMP actually do?

[astral haven]

Yup

[zenith sonnet]

Well, i guess
But it must be doing something different than a volume knob, otherwise, what's the point?

[astral haven]

It's for super sensitive or super low sensitivity stuff

Analog volume knobs have issues at low and high ends of their ranges

You generally want to be near the middle of the volume range whenever you can

[zenith sonnet]

So, 6/8 is a bit high already?

[astral haven]

Oclock?

Or 6 out of 8

[zenith sonnet]

6 of 8

[astral haven]

Wut?

If your Amp is digital it doesn't matter

[reef tundra]

60k ohms

[zenith sonnet]

It's a volume knob that goes from off (with a click) to 8

[astral haven]

Are there steps?

[zenith sonnet]

Nope

[astral haven]

Then you are good

I'd recommend setting the gain so that you are at 4 when listening to normal volume stuff, that way you can turn up or down as much as possible

But it really doesn't matter

Wut

[zenith sonnet]

Ouch

[reef tundra]

That aint a dac its a snake

[zenith sonnet]

Snake oil DAC

It's probably got tubes in it, too

[astral haven]

Eh

I'd be more ready to blame devices near the dac and the dac not being well shielded

Your dac cannot possibly be connected optically to your amp

And it also can't possibly run without power

Of some kind

I mean

Check the nearby stuffs

Anything warm or wireless could be to blame

Neither it, it's power supply or the cables to the amp?

Well then it's the dacs fault

Very surprising tho

How is the power supply for the dac away from your other stuff

Good idea

Man these galaxy buds + were a pleasant surprise

I was expecting passable but I've gotta admit they could even be considered solid

Well dang

What amp btw

Oh

What cans?

[reef tundra]

Bean can

[astral haven]

The Samsung buds live can't use an amp lel

Well then dunno

But with tubes, any form of emi will cause noise

So you gotta be careful

[reef tundra]

You mean those old vacuumtubes?

[astral haven]

Yup

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/spit-take-laughing-lmao-gif-9271317

[astral haven]

This isn't a real tube amp but it does have tubes

The little dot is an actual tube amp

Dangledac or balanced, don't settle

Go balanced or just get a dongledac

Aka go big or go home

Or go r2r

But r2r spensiv

[reef tundra]

r2d2

1 kW

[astral haven]

Balanced, aka $150+

https://drop.com/buy/drop-grace-design-standard-dac-balanced

Balanced = emi doesn't affect the dac if your amp is also balanced

Aka it gives you an upgrade path

[reef tundra]

EMI will always affect circuitry.

[astral haven]

It's not

Nope panda

Cheapest balanced dac for you might be the 2i2

From Scarlett

It's not as good but it works

It's technically an interface not just a dac but whatever

It's cheap

Or just get the apple USB c adapter 3.5mm adapter and a USB a to c adapter and a 3.5 to rca

Oh wait shoot
There was a person in here saying the European apple dongle isn't the same as the US one

Between my dac and my amp is the wireless charger for my phone lel

Unbalanced I can here it when it turns on

Balanced I can't

Ease of use fam

But the point is the same

Even emi that comes from the power supply of the dac goes away

(If the dac is designed properly)

Don't neeeeed

You can run it unbalanced till you get a new amp in the future

It is

Ain't gonna lie

But noticeably? Also yes tbh

The 2i2 is literally just the cheapest option

2i2 +p20 is a very solid budgetish experience

Look for what local stores have

There are some very cheap good dacs on aliexpress for example (last I checked)

[astral haven]

Ya but that's less important

Tho p20 doesn't work properly single ended

My first full on system was sdac balanced into 789 into 6xx single ended

And the upgrade to a balanced cable absolutely was not worth it

I then got a p20 and that was very nice to have the balanced cable on

[neat oriole]

560 does not run laps around the 650 wut

Same thing

[astral haven]

Not at all

[neat oriole]

No I mean

The Sennheiser HD560S does not run circles around the Sennheiser HD650

SDAC balanced one of the least dynamic dacs out there

[astral haven]

I have both and in all but classical recordings with string instruments it absolutely does

[neat oriole]

And you paired it with a THX amp which is also not dynamic

[astral haven]

Yup

Accuracy fam

[neat oriole]

Let me guess

You run an L30

[astral haven]

You can always eq accuracy away, but you can't get more

No

[neat oriole]

What are you talking about

[astral haven]

Elaborate

[neat oriole]

What do you mean eq accuracy away what are you on about

[astral haven]

If you want to get a less accurate sound you can always eq

[neat oriole]

Bruh

Accurate to what

[astral haven]

The data?

[neat oriole]

What data

[astral haven]

The music file in the computer

[neat oriole]

What?

[cursive summit]

You can preview the music file?

Thought that was just called "listening"

[astral haven]

As in if it asks for this frequency at this time you get exactly that

I'm not sure what other word to use besides accuracy

[neat oriole]

What?

[reef patrol]

I turned my testbench into a NAS... a supercharged one. 8700K ... to serve files xD

[neat oriole]

Do you know how eq works?

Are you talking about some dynamic eq or something?

What are you even talking about?

[astral haven]

Eq messes with the objective for sake of the subjective

Hardware can be measured objectively

Therefore it's best to get the best hardware objectively, and If you want to mess with the subjective you can do that in software

[astral haven]

That's my kind of server

My old server was a 6700k

[neat oriole]

[reef patrol]

It used to run on a 2200G. But I'm using that for my Retro Mac atm xD

[astral haven]

Retro mac?

[reef patrol]

Gutted a dead Macintosh Classic.

[astral haven]

Ah

[neat oriole]

Are you aware that our measurement system is severely lacking and there’s a lot of things we don’t know how to measure yet?

[astral haven]

No ares that's not true lel

[neat oriole]

Ok objectivist

[astral haven]

It's only electrons

[neat oriole]

I can’t tell if you’re serious or trolling

[astral haven]

Yes I believe in reality sorry to say

[neat oriole]

It’s your journey if you want to follow ASR to the end of the earth by all means

[astral haven]

Asr?

The forum thing?

[neat oriole]

You’d fit right in

[astral haven]

🤷

That's how it is lel

[neat oriole]

If you have tubes get 650/600

[astral haven]

If your goal is get rid of hiss, try a dongle dac and see If that changes anything

I never asked what dac you are using?

Oh

[neat oriole]

I already told him about the dongle he wants to go straight to the Modi which is fine

[astral haven]

Yeaaaaa
How about not that? (Fiio thing I mean)

Modi is for looks not audio

[neat oriole]

[astral haven]

I mean it doesn't sound bad but it's not cheap

Also in the Eu it's inport

[neat oriole]

Schiit has distribution in EU

[astral haven]

Still has vat

[neat oriole]

So? Everything does

[astral haven]

Well yea

I'm sure there is some audio company in the eu
