Well thank you! I’m going to sleep now

I solved my long standing issue of amp buzzing

Has the sm7db made its rounds here yet

unique wind
#

didnt know it existed until you just brought it up

It was just announced yesterday

Sm7b but with a built in preamp

weak rapids
#

Yeah was really disappointed

#

shure was like wait a second

#

we can milk another $100 by putting a fethead in the mic

#

If they made a usb sm7b they could’ve completely destroyed beacn

unique wind
#

when you brought it up that's what i thought it was going to be

weak rapids
#

Thats what most of us were hoping for

#

Especially when they put 👀 under a usb sm7b comment a week ago

#

The only people I find the 7db to be useful for are streamers and youtubers who really dont want to spend money on a decent interface, since itll just replace the booster cost

#

But if you have an actual decent interface the sm7db is pointless

I have some 2.1 Logitech speakers and I want to get speakers that sound better. What speakers would you recommend for around $130cad/$100usd (I can buy from either country)

#

Similar devies just that the FiiO is likely more well known and includes MQA support

#

UP4 is slightly cheaper right now

#

$84 vs $110

haughty girder
#

Fiio is more well known the same way Sennheiser is more well known than hifiman

#

both UP4 and Qudelix 5k are better than the Fiio

#

MQA is also kinda useless

#

it's lossy - not really better than a high bitrate AAC - while being large because it uses the flac container

night plume
#

Looks like the 5k is the same price as the FiiO so the cheaper option is most likely the one I will go for. AKA the UP4. Need a Bluetooth Reciver for wired headphones

haughty girder
#

technically it's more nuanced and MQA is better than AAC

#

but

#

you won't notice it

haughty girder
night plume
#

Would I honestly notice a differenece between the 5k and the UP4?

haughty girder
#

honestly no

#

you probably won't notice much difference if at all between all three actually

night plume
#

Looks like the UP4 it will be then as it's the cheapest of the 3 options

haughty girder
#

yea good choice

night plume
#

Since everyone and their mother has gotten rid of the 3.5mm jack I need a solid bluetooth reciever to keep using my wired headphones with. In this case the Audio Technica Ath-m50x's which I got back in like 2014 wouldn't surprise me if there were better options now a days

#

I do own a FiiO E18 BUT the battery in it is shot and I mainly use it as a DAC for my PC

#

Ok I can work with $90

#

The included belt clip MIGHT make a BIG difference for me as well LOL

#

AKA of me using it vs NOT using it

glad creek
#

Which is just a bt receiver

#

that can handle itself as a dac/headphone amp though, for the price

#

it has digital out if you want to send the signal to a dedicated dac/amp (and line out if just to an amp)

#

But you know the best solution for your case is using a small usb c DAC

#

like that :

night plume
#

I have something similar already LOL

#

As I said already own a FiiO E18 LOL

the one in the screen above is a real dac and a good one on top of that not just a shitty adapater

i had enough and decided to make some code for this
source code and .exe

basically it just uses the fact you can change individual app volumes

#

it can error out quite abit, no idea how to fix but that seems to work for around 2 hours before crashing

candid folio
#

you can just compile the .py file 😭

#

if you wanna do that its a pip install pycaw subprocess
the exe also runs in the background, you'll have to use the .py file if you want a console

Hi! I've been using Voicemeeter Banana for a while and when I want to play CS2 my audio cripples or whatever it is called, it's interrupted audio and slowed down. If I put it on my speaker it works just fine but if I put it through voicemeter to my headphones it does this. Also this and Forza Horizon 5 are the only games who have this problem, other audio is completely fine

#

he stole my joke in his original xs video

#

his opinion on xs has seemingly stayed the same though

#

he likes the soundstage and bass after eq but ended up not being being able to tolerate its treble

#

he returned it a few minutes ago

steel escarp
#

underpowering planars is gonna make the treble sound not good

#

and he uses eq presets instead of EQing by ear

warm scarab
#

as if that wasn't bad there is also the eq headroom to consider

steel escarp
#

You should not EQ for full target adherence

warm scarab
#

I don't care

#

I will listen to 10 presets and pick what sounds good if any

steel escarp
#

I EQ by ear

#

Because I am harman trained

warm scarab
#

lmao

steel escarp
#

And just based like that

#

And I have different hrtf than a measurement rig

unique wind
#

eq presets are good if the headphone has alright unit variation tolerance

#

as long as you know its limitations

#

mainly that upper treble is highly susceptible to unit variation and your own ears fucking with it

#

i dont even bother using the 8-13khz filters in oratory presets

nots ure if this is directly related to it but when I start playing fortnite for a min, fn crashes, my audio stops working (i use goxlr and it just closes and when i try to open it back up it gives me an error saying its already open (yes I've checked task manager)) and all my audio just does not work and even before it crashes i can only hear certain sounds in fortnite and not main sounds like lobby music and breaking stuff, and my pc is pretty beefy 3090, i9-12900k ddr5 and whatnot and im even playing on performance settings and low stuff. what could be the issue?

#

what is your setting in windows control panel for output device

#

advanced in properties

#

sometimes if you set it to something like 32 bit or very high sample rate it can break some games and applications

#

i know it was an issue on rdr2 for me where it would make the audio completely break and make the game not work correctly

warm scarab
#

32 bit 48000

unique wind
#

99% of what youll encounter using a computer is 16bit 44.1 or 48

#

but setting 44.1 can cause issues like what you stated

warm scarab
#

why 16 bit

unique wind
#

cus i dont ever interact with 24bit media

#

no point in setting it to 24

warm scarab
#

I don't know much about bitrate

#

isn't 24 used in most playback

#

music playback I mean

unique wind
#

some lossless files are going to be 24bit 96khz

#

but mp3 and flac are usually 16bit 44.1

#

most games and youtube media and other stuff is gonna be 16 48

warm scarab
#

youtube is unsurprising

unique wind
#

im not quite sure why some companies are so obsessed with sample rate

#

even 44.1khz supports 20-22,000hz

#

if youre actually recording things beyond the human hearing range then sure but for music releases why bother

warm scarab
#

its not about supporting upper frequencies

#

its just more samples for more accuracy

#

it can be unnecessary or inaudible though

unique wind
#

i think that may be true for 16bit vs 24bit

#

but i dont think there's any value in using a higher sample rate

warm scarab
#

maybe not for listening

#

My belief is to never buy from Drop unless you are in the US, their customer service is known to not be great, their shipping time outside the US is long, and shipping prices outside are high

I hoped that when corsair bought drop they would make it more accessible globally

@warm scarab I found a pair of HD600s for 300 euros

worth it or nah?

warm scarab

I'll give it to you straight

#

OH now i know why the yeti gx sounds so bad

#

Unlike the yeti which had it being a condenser to slightly up the quality, the yeti gx is a dynamic so that makes the audio quality worse

haughty girder
#

...no

#

dynamics just require better technique, but as a result generally is better at noise rejection

#

so if you don't know how to use a mic properly, dynamics will sound worse than equivalent condenser which essentially have a preamp built into the capsule

if u want higher quality, go with the he400se, or if its cheaper where u are, the 560s. If you need BT, then do the JBL tune 710bt (according to dms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfbLjSWSSog&pp=ygUSZG1zIGpibCB0dW5lIDcxMGJ0)

However, I am new to the hobby, and only have the 400se. If you want another opinion, contact nills, klaus, and someone else i dont remember the name

errant wharf
#

I never said they were similar, just almost as good

lean grove
#

well they're not almost as good either.

errant wharf
#

They are significantly cheaper so one would assume they wont be as nice sounding

lean grove
#

how much are you finding the 599s for

#

cuz im seeing around $120

#

and there's still better options than the 599 at that price

errant wharf
#

599 se is like 103 on amazon

#

Same model just black

#

And im sure there are better options, i simply recommend a cheaper alternative to the 560

lean grove
#

i just dont see a reason to recommend it when there's the akg k371, 361, and even the 612 that would be better recommendations

weak rapids
#

Also the hd560s are on a big sale for $169 rn

lean grove
#

like, there's hundreds of cheaper alternatives. but cheaper on its own doesn't necessitate good. and if your budget is $120 then its not like you have slim pickings for options either.

#

and for the record, "good" is always considering price. a good headphone means that there aren't better options at the same price or less.

errant wharf
#

I dont disagree, but you could have just posted your recommendations before you jump to criticizing the one option I recommended

weak rapids
#

And quite frankly, if the 599 was good, I would expect Klaus to recommend them in the $100 price bracket and not the cloud 2s

unique wind
#

he400se has inverted polarity, mediocre build quality, and questionable earpad fabric, but it's probably the best headphone at $100 if you EQ it

So I had a pair of Airpod Gen 2s that ended up having extremely low battery life by the end of their use, and I got a pair of Airpod Pros gen 2 as an upgrade but im scared of battery degradation, will putting them in the case once they reach 50% help keep the battery life stable

cold token
#

id say so

#

like for me i personally dont charge any of my devices above 85%

#

id say 80% but im taking into consideration the times i forget to take it off when it reaches 80% which is why i said 85%

onyx sierra
#

So I dont want anything to reach 100%

#

?

cold token
#

i personally wouldnt let anything charge to 100%

#

@warm scarab i know u already recommended me a pair of headphones but what do u think of the Sennheiser HD58x Jubilee?

warm scarab
#

bad

#

worse than anything you asked whether you should get or not

cold token
#

ill just stick to the pair u recommended me then

#

btw do u think 400 euros for the zen can and the zen dac is too much?

#

i dont see lower prices anywhere on the uk size of amazon

#

had a look at the Amazon Germany as well and they have similar pricing

unique wind
#

i wouldnt spend 400 on a source chain for 200 dollar headphones

#

you could get something nicer like hifiman edition xs and use a dongle until you can get an amp later

warm scarab
#

or the zen dac air

#

also michael is right

#

400€ source chain for driving 300€ headphones is very silly

cold token
#

how much would u spend?

warm scarab
#

like 100€

#

unless its edition xs

#

which needs more current since lower impedance and sensitivity

#

but unless its something like a planar or a higher end dynamic id stick to zen air for a fair bit

unique wind
#

i would spend as much as you can on the headphones first and worry about source later, it barely matters

cold token
#

okay so ive decided to get the HD600 (since im getting a brand new pair for 280 euros) should i still stick with the zen stack or is there something else?

warm scarab
#

are you getting the full zen dac

cold token
#

no just the air

warm scarab
#

how does that total in 400€ wtf

cold token
#

zen dac air +zen can

warm scarab
#

yes

#

100 + 170 = 270

#

what sort of prices do you have there man

cold token
#

it is pretty high so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

im a bloody immigrant dont ask me lmfao

#

shouldnt have moved thats all im saying

warm scarab
#

you can just stick to zen can and apple dongle for the dac

#

if you really want to get a nice amp

#

or just stick to zen air

#

I really couldn't justify that price for hd600

cold token
#

might just get a combo budget unit then

#

or like u said

#

stick to the zen can and apple dongle

unique wind
#

apple dongle unironically good dac

#

measures beyond human audibility

#

@warm scarab doesnt it have half voltage output for the euro version though

#

or does that only happen when plugged into an android phone

he is getting an amplifier anyways

he is alright in either case

cold token

Just did some more digging

#

Have u guys heard anything positive about the Fiio K7

warm scarab
#

no

#

zen can is a good class a amplifier

#

you wont find better at that price no matter how many reddit posts you read

#

you can find better second hand maybe

the realistic lifespan for a good TWS is 2-4 years

TWS?

dusky linden

true wireless

onyx sierra
#

ah

#

I mean even if they degrade in 2-4 yrs I still got a really good deal with them as I was able to get them new for 150

dusky linden
#

battery degradation will be one of the hard caps on the lifespan either way

#

but there may be other issues that develop later on that you can't do anything about

#

in that sense, it's a disposable product

onyx sierra

hopefully its nothing too bad

I'd say to just use it and not worry about it

when it becomes a problem, deal with it then

some ali boards have decent vrms and nice features that equivalently or even higher priced mainstream boards dont have but that one looks wack

Yea they have really cool neice ones, like f. E. Desktop Boards with mobile Chips and Such - but if you get a Bad one - it gets annoying.

But to be fair, the issue with the missing Audio driver is not exclusive to cheap Boards. The issue is just that they dont give you drivers, and its hard to find out what Hardware is actually on there.

tell me why

warm scarab

headphones are the most apparent upgrade you can get and amplifier differences are generally marginal per 200$ you spend

#

despite this you want to stick to dt880 and instead purchase an amplifier

rocky spruce

some people just told me to get an amplifier

#

and i aint changing ehadphones

warm scarab
#

it isn't like amplifiers make your headphones a lot better with a few exceptions all which are planars and higher end dynamics

#

to spend 100$ to improve a 150$ amplifier is not a smart deed to do

#

not to mention you cannot get anything notably good for that much anyways, it will be marginally better than a well functioning motherboard in a critical listening session at best

@unique wind doxxed

unique wind

no!!!!

white gate
#

The reason measuring above 7-10khz or so is so iffy is because the shape of your ear changes the response there so drastically.

You'd have to have an ear that was EXACTLY the same as the rig upon which it was measured

#

The only way to get a smooth response in your ear would be to find an IEM that perfectly matches your own HRTF in that region and position it perfectly every single time.
For which the chances are near 0

I have a Hisense u8h and I’m looking to upgrade the built in speakers at some point. Does anyone have any recommendations? Should I go with a soundbar or a set of speakers and a subwoofer? I’d only want to spend a few hundred dollars at most

unique wind
#

soundbars don't really get good until youre spending around a thousand dollars, you'll be better off with a pair of powered speakers and a sub if you have the space

forest forge

I have some space, so I could fit them. I just don’t know anything about them and have no idea what brands are good or what specs/features

warm scarab
#

if you are far away that white noise isn't an issue klipsch pro media could do it for you

#

ask @lean grove

lean grove
#

But the Klipsch promedia are also a good option.

forest forge
#

I actually already have a klipsch pro media believe it or not. But it was for my old tv. It plugs in through the headphone Jack since I think it’s a computer speaker and I didn’t really sound better. Plus it kept blowing the fuse it was connected to. Is there another version that plugs in through hdmi?

unique wind
#

i need to learn how to read speaker measurements better

warm scarab
forest forge
#

I guess flipping the breaker. If that means the power cut and I had to flip the switch back to the on position

#

There was also a weird crackling that would happen whenever I plugged/unplugged it. I think it was building up a charge or something

lean grove
#

Weird.

#

But HDMI passthrough is only on expensive speakers.

#

And still rare

#

So if that's what you need you'd probably be better off with a sound bar.

#

But if you can use optical then try and find an edifier which accepts optical.

forest forge
#

I just checked and my tv does have a digital optical out port on the back

warm scarab
#

you can get an hdmi audio splitter honestly

#

if push comes to shove

forest forge
#

Should I try to get a subwoofer with it? Or would 2 bookshelf speakers be fine?

#

There’s also one that’s just 1 speaker and a subwoofer? Wouldn’t that throw off the balance? I’m not and audio expert (clearly) but I thought you needed one speaker on each side

lean grove

So I would get the speakers now and then a sub in the future if you want to upgrade.

then they have a passthrough so it can connect to the speakers

#

and they can place a lowpass filter on the signal for its own use

If your receiver/amp supports it, the sub doesn't need it

unique wind

namely the emotiva se8/se12 subs on the affordable side have that feature but i don’t know if they’ll ever be restocked

haughty girder

but it has to go between the source and the amp

i definitely wouldn’t say most subs

most don’t have it

I'll reword it: Most subs that are made for studio use rather than "home"*

unique wind
#

most powered subs only have a subwoofer "crossover" (lowpass knob), and dont highpass the speakers

haughty girder
#

yea

#

but I assume that at these "lower" prices

#

you set the lowpass to match with the rolloff of the main speakers

and even if it's off by a bit it's fine because the room is gonna mess with the sound just as much

# unique wind it's basically just analog room correction eq

Room correction and Room treatment solve different issues.

Room correction targets frequency response issues caused by room modes/comb filtering etc etc.
Room treatment whilst it can help with room modes is primarily targeting reflections and decay.

DSP cannot solve reflections/decay other than at lower frequencies and with some unorthodox tools.
And room treatment cannot solve FR issues in the same way DSP can

A top tier system would utilise both, but the idea that they are substitutes for one another or that you don't need room treatment if you use room correction is a myth

try plugging your turntable directly

I think you added a phono pre to a turntable with already existing phono pre

the reason we have the phono pre is because the signal coming out of the turntable isn’t strong enough to get all the way down the cable

cause the turntable sits in the lounge with the speakers where as the amp sits in the server rack in the storage closet

so the cables long as

On that note: I just came in here to ask if anyone had a recommendation for a set of Bluetooth headphones to look out for on Prime Day coming up on Amazon Canada? Looking for a high quality set that is likely to be the target for a note worthy discount.

#

Here's my criteria:

#

Budget: $120 CAD
Type: Over-ear
Connectivity: Bluetooth or Bluetooth + Wired (ideally the latter)

I've seen and looked at those. They look like a model worth considering. I'll see how much they'll get discounted on Prime Day. Thanks.

It uses a USB-C dongle, but comes with a Type-A adapter cable (which you will need to use if using the headset on PC).

#

Razer Barracuda X is another option to consider.

#

Cloud ll is a solid choice though.

I think over my lifetime of buying portable players, the one feature that really matters is the ability to make playlists on the fly

So I’m not sure if anyone can answer a question for me or not… I have my phone set to listen for “Siri” or “hey siri” but recently my HomePod mini had an update and its doing the same thing but when I changed it to only listen for “hey siri” it didn’t seem to change and and still listens for “Siri”

Hmm well let’s forget the driver thing and just assume that’s okay for now. Try the USB fixes that I posted then
