alright thanks for all the help @brisk parcel 🙂
west hornet
yes i agree with the sound quality in sony being a tad better but i think bose cancels out more noise
hazy fiber
Maybe. I'll have to compare again. Maybe it was just the more comfortable feel on my head giving the illusion of better cancellation
west hornet
lol
and as always we don't all have the same ears, so audio can be completely subjective to the person overall
hazy fiber
True
But like we can all agree that the $3 wired earbuds that came with iPod classics are trash compared a $400 offering from bose 🙂
west hornet
ofc xD
hazy fiber
I'd say the Sonys have richer sosund than the Bose.... and slightly, slightly, slightly worse NC
hazy fiber
Yeah, unless you're me and hit your head hard while wearing them

what do u ppl think of basilisk x hyperspeed + razer cynosa for a nice ~ 100$ setup?
hazy fiber
Harpoon wireless is cheaper than hyperspeed and is a solid mouse. You could also find a decent corsair RGB keyboard to add in at the price point. But if you like Razer, you do you
atomic sundial
hey guys, is there a good budget (~50 USD) rgb tkl keyboard with red /slient red /sliver, any suggestions? Thank you
atomic sundial
I have checked rk 87, hyper x alloy tkl, ducky one 2 tkl, corsair, logitech pro x
ducky tkl is not on my budget line so....
I think I will add a little more to buy leopold/filco if i had that budget
tight pulsar
leopold makes good keyboards, same with varmilo

Anyone know of some good monitors under $200 preferably 144hz

would anyone know a good gaming keyboard for games like apex and cod? i have small hands

Try a few different types of switches, find one you like, buy one from a brand you like with decent reviews
I personally like Cherry Mx Brown
Look for injection molded caps if you want to prevent keys wearing out

@idle cairn rk61 board and go to bang good for keycaps and just get switched from any website
Get a sauter and boom keyboard

You can always get hyperx or Razer ones

I might I’d rather give my money to something non China made tbh
thorny aspen
Ok then get some double shot pbt of your liking on eBay amazon Newegg or really anything whatever your preference is
But if ya want 60% get the rk61 board
idle cairn
Is going full reasonable?
thorny aspen
Yeah
Rk61 is like 55 and no complaints and it’s hotswappable and you can just plop it in
20 for switches and 10-20 for keycaps

I have a 2080ti and 3900x. I have been looking for monitors (specifically HDR) that have 144 hz, but it never occurred to me that the higher hz, the more power it will take to actually get 144 fps. I have seen some reviewers say that you probably need a Titan gpu or something along those lines to even get 144 fps. Is that true and if so, should I even be looking for 144 hz monitor that is HDR?
daring zenith
I think you mean the higher resolution
4k (3440x2160) is a lot harder to run than 1080p to get 144fps

like if ur a streamer and u need 150-200$ of mic/audio quality, then go for it
but most ppl are just fine with regular headphones
as a non-streamer, i'd go with something a little cheaper like a regular kraken
silver roost
Well I mean I might go into streaming
I never tried because I have a bad echo with speakers
My local best buy sells Nari Wirelesses for $130
Then I could sell my current speakers for a little less so it’s not really a large loss
How about the Kraken Ultimate is that good
astral hinge
all razer headsets have phenominal quality
astral hinge

personally, I have tried both, and the sound quality between razer kraken x usb and razer nari ultimate isn't that much- I also liked the kraken x soooo much better bc it's really light and you can wear it for hours on end without feeling your head getting heavy or your ears hot @silver roost, if you plan to have it on for long periods of time

If u have such a high budget for headphones @silver roost go Razer nari ultimate

gleaming walrus
I recently purchased an autofocus HD 1080P Webcam and it is not working well with my Mac computers. I need information about software/drivers that are safe to download so the camera will provide a reasonable quality picture on the screen. It works fine on my friend's laptop because the software downloaded automatically when we connected the camera, but that's because he has a PC laptop. I am the person doing constant Zoom meetings with students, and I am all Mac. I hope you can recommend some software that I can download so I don't look so washed out I appear to be a ghost! Thanks!!!
maiden night
Look for the manufacturer website
gleaming walrus
I tried to do that, but the manufacturer isn't revealed. Here is the description in Newegg:
AutoFocus Full HD Webcam 1080P with Privacy Shutter - Pro Web Camera with stereo Microphone - USB Computer Camera for PC Laptop Desktop Mac Video Calling, Conferencing Skype YouTube AutoFocus Full HD Webcam 1080P with Privacy Shutter - Pro Web Camera with stereo Microphone - USB Computer Camera for PC Laptop Desktop Mac Video Calling, Conferencing Skype YouTube The literature that came with it suggests downloading an AMCAP.exe file "from website" but no website is given. Plus, exe files are only for PCs, not for Macs.
split nimbus
And there is your problem. You are using non mac approved hardware+software with a mac
gleaming walrus
The webcam came with a pamphlet that suggested AMCAP files, but at the same time said the webcam was appropriate for Mac systems. I found a web site with alternative software for Macs (instead of AMCAP), and one program was Debut. (I keep trying to paste the link here but when I do that it deletes my entry.) I don't want to randomly download programs, but maybe Debut is safe.
The web site is alternativeto.net.
gleaming walrus
I didn't download anything from that web site since I wasn't sure if the site was malware or not. It looks legitimate, but I didn't want to experiment with downloading Debut (or any of the other suggested programs) without checking with other people who are more experienced at using webcam software than I am. The webcam is totally recognized by my Mac laptop, and I use it for all my Zoom sessions with students. The issue is that I need software to help the picture to be better because it's totally washed out. I am hoping Debut might be that software, and that some webstreamer out there uses a Mac and is familiar with software that will work for me.
gleaming walrus
Thanks for this suggestion. You are the only person who has shared this key piece of advice with me about which webcams work with Macs! I really hate to spend more money, but I had borrowed a logitech webcam from a friend (before I bought my own webcam) and it worked just fine. (I only now realize that the brand mattered.) Given that online teaching will be continuing for many months to come, I think I need to take your suggestion and buy a webcam that will work with Mac.
brisk parcel
oh wow I just saw this now haha
yeah @gleaming walrus get something like a logitech, their webcams are nice, and not too expensive
I would say you could just get a windows PC in some form, but I assume your mac is school issued

I assume any AX router is going to be better than my AC router. I just want to make sure it is an upgrade before I place my order.

so I'm new to the keyboard game, but would like to buy a nice keyboard for gaming. I'm currently using a G.SKILL KM570 RGB with MX Browns. It's alright, but quite loud (especially for browns).
Looking around in the local marketplace, I've found these two in new condition:```cpp
"One 2 Mini (white, MX Speed Silver) for 90 euro"
"Ducky Shine 4 (black, MX Black) for 50 euro"
Any recommendations on which to choose? Is the One 2 Mini worth the higher price?probs going with the mini, because I heard MX blacks are not so great

alright, buying the One 2 Mini for 90€ in a bit

mx blacks are pretty heavy
vintage blacks from old wyse boards are pretty nice, but you need to put a lighter spring in them to make them good

Oh man i feel bad now
i was looking at the corsair dark core rgb pro like 2 days ago, it spiked on amazon to over 150 ;-;
hazy fiber
They have occasional sales down to $69.99. But if that's over budget, eh
tidal spoke
no no i was contemplating on getting it, i dont mind going over a bit if its worth it you know

Yeah, looks like the good sellers are out of stock on amazon
Go for corsair.com if you want it. It's $80 msrp
There are other options, this is just my personal preference

Understandable, will keep it in mind though because ive heard good things about before

ive never owned a wireless mouse how long do they generally hold their charge?
turbid torrent
Does anyone know a good wireless headphone under 80?
hasty quail
@tidal spoke this one holds about 2 days for me w/ 10-12hr computer usage each day, plus the USB-C charging cable allows you to use wired while it charges
tidal spoke
Corsair h60 is $70. heard of it having issues with the usb adapter but overall supposed to bbe pretty goood
@hasty quail oh wow thats amazing, i was expecting less than a 12 hour battery life
hasty quail
i use it 2-3hrs before work, 8hrs during work, and 2-3hrs after work, and sometimes i will have to plug it in near the end of a work shift after removing it from charging the day before, so
like yesterday i removed from charge at noon, and it's 628pm now and it's "low" but not "critical low"
tidal spoke
Does it ever get randomly disconnected?
hasty quail
nope, neither wired or thru the wireless adapter
hasty quail
i was very hesitant about it, but so glad i got it
it's the most expensive mouse i have ever bought lol
tidal spoke
Same here, kinda scary but since its something im going to use on a daily basis might as well get something of quality right

Does anyone know if the hyperx quadcast mic is any good
west hornet
the polar patterns are meh, should stay on cardioid. It's nice to have a mute button on the top and the sound is decent. it is a little expensive.
ports are also in a weird spot, the headphone jack on it i wouldn't use because you cannot turn off direct monitoring
knotty cape
Normally it goes for around 120 so if I find one for that price would it be good?
west hornet
im not sure tbh, could depend on the person, like if you have a deep or high voice etc. other usb mic options would probably be samson q2u, blue yeti nano, blue yeti. You can look up reviews for them, I like reviews from Podcastage.
could also try a budget xlr setup possibly, but that would be a bit more complex
I would honestly check out the q2u instead. i like it more and it cheaper @knotty cape

thick plank
@jovial scaffold thanks haha, from what I know the 660S are better than the 650 so i'm gonna mod the 58X, remove the foam and paper over the driver, and it should sound so close to the 660S
@brisk parcel this is actually wrong. They use the smaller driver and surrounding of the hd559 which is usually $70 to 90 just in the body of the 660. The reason some people believe this is because a poorly researched video from hw Canucks unfortunately.
The materials used in the driver are also very different along with the membrane
It is basically a 559 in a less comfortable housing and at a higher price. If possible I would recommend returning it and getting the 559 or paying slightly more to get an hd650 as they tend to go pretty on now that the 660s took over their price bracket and have been discounted a couple times
jovial scaffold
Oh I see, you quoted a message that had a ping to me in it, which in turn pinged me again
Confusing lol
thick plank
Here is a quick image of them both since I do t feel like opening mine up rn
595 is the same deiver as the 559 just the 595 has a plate glued on the housing to make it sound less open which is pretty easy to remove
I actually modded mine today lol
For comparison here is the 660s
And its surrounded wirh more of a metal than a cloth substance along with a metal mesh behind the driver (which I recommend removing if possible)
brisk parcel
you sure? I've even had the chance to compare these with the 650s and 660s that a friend owns, and they sound nearly identical to the 660s, which I prefer over the 650s. Even doing harmonic and acoustic measurements, they're within a margin of error of my friends' 660s
thick plank
650 isnt the same either nor is it the same as the 58x
Both are just all around better than the 58x lol
As again the 58x uses the more low end driver of the 559
brisk parcel
like I said before, I know the difference between them, but they still sound much better than the 559s to my ear
thick plank
660s shares a driver with ethe hd800 if im not mistaken
Then that is you brain tricking you
brisk parcel
maybe it is, but then in this case I'm glad it's tricking me
thick plank
Also the 650 and 660 are obviously going to sound vetter as they arent using that lower end driver
And if using the 650 I recommend removing the foam back of the driver as it really hurts audio quality
I did that mod to my 650 too lol
brisk parcel
according to the page from drop itself, the 58Xs do in fact use their newer 150-ohm driver, not the one that the more aged 559 uses
I've removed the foam and the paper over the driver, it sounds so close to the 660 it's not even funny, and I've listened to the 559s a lot, I used them for a few months
these just have more
thick plank
For starters the cloth isn't supposed to me removed and also doesnt cover the driver. Secondly the drivers aren't even the same size as the 660 driver even if we ignored changes in membrane shape and pattern and internal material
brisk parcel
you're right, they're not the same size
but that doesn't mean they don't sound so close
I had the chance to listen, side-by-side, like I said
thick plank
Except they also factually dont as they dont have the same frequency response or sound curve
brisk parcel
I grabbed the 58Xs over the 6XXs since Zeos pointed out that they sound similar to the 660s than the 6XXs do to the 650s
and since I prefer the 660s over the 650s, while the 650s are warmer, I went with the 58Xs
thick plank
I own both the 559 (which now is a 595) and hd650 and none sound like the 660s at all
Also, dont use zeos
He is a laughingstock in the audiophile community with most people joking that he is deaf
Because he hasn't given a single accurate description of a headset
On the technical side or sound side
brisk parcel
have you listened to the 58Xs though? read what people have said about it, while it LOOKS similar to the 559s, they sound nothing alike
it even says on the product page itself that it uses the newer driver, while it's not the SAME one, it is based off of the newer driver
thick plank
Again, they have the same frequency response and the same sound curve and are physically the same driver (the 58x and 559 that is). They are not physically the same as the 660s nor do they match up in either of those departments
It isnt subjective

no the graph
thick plank
@brisk parcel yep and for audio those are very different
Showing one is much higher on bass and lower on highs
tight pulsar
dunno man they look pretty similar
thick plank
Most sennheiser hedsets follow that same shape @tight pulsar
brisk parcel
let me find a chat comparing the modified 58Xs to the 559s
thick plank
What matters is how high or low they are at points which those are opposites for
tight pulsar
so is the blue one better on the first one or no
tight pulsar
so you want it lower
thick plank
The hd600 is also a different driver than both and is also worse than the hd660s but also better than the hd559/58x
brisk parcel
sorry, THIS is the modified 58X(blue) to the 660s(red)
the other graph was an untouched pair of 58Xs
very similar
it's almost alughable
laughable*
thick plank
No, again for a frequency response graph that is not nearly the same
It shows the 58x being much less balanced and dropping off really quickly for higher frequencies
brisk parcel
since you think I didn't do my homework, and about the graphs, it's worth noting that the S stands for (symetrical) in 660S, since it comes with a symetrical cable, the 58X does not
which buying a symetrical cable is not nearly enough to make up for the price difference
simply put, the 58Xs are DIFFERENT, they definitely are
but VERY close to the 660S, so they're basically a poor man's 660S
thick plank
They are completely different. About as different as you can get with a headset from the same company in the same chasis
But theya re identical to something in every way
The 559...
brisk parcel
this is my first time getting into audiophile stuff, so of course I had to learn all this stuff and do research
thick plank
They are not a poor man's 660 any more than the cheaper 559 is
Which it is not
As they sound completely different in both highs and lows
And not in a good way
The 559 are mainly for listening to types of bass driven music
brisk parcel
let me get charts for the 559s too then, since I clearly don't have a clue what i'm talking about
the 559s even have a different impedance, and they don't even have the same frequency response
you said the 559s are basically the 595s now?
brisk parcel
alright
well unfortunately I can't find charts that compare them directly, so I have to dig a little deeper
umm
it appears that it is a subjective thing
thick plank
...
brisk parcel
the 595s have a larger frequency response than your 559s
thick plank
It really isnt
brisk parcel
14 Hz to 26 kHz, for the 559s
thick plank
It is physically the same driver for all 3 along with the same surrounding for the driver for all 3
brisk parcel
12 Hz - 38.5 kHz, for the 595s
thick plank
@brisk parcel that is because of how the foam pad slightly impedes some of the interaction between air and the driver
brisk parcel
and wow would you look at that
I remove the foam on my 58Xs and it makes no difference?
but it does in your case suddenly?
thick plank
The 58x doesn't have foam...
The oval of cloth around the driver isn't supposed to be removed
thick plank
Sure
tight pulsar
i see that trying to flex ur pc there
brisk parcel
no I used it for the light
so you can see the material
my living room is dark at night lmao
thick plank
Ah, you meant on the inside of the driver? That is meant to protect it and you should never remove that!
brisk parcel
no
the foam on the back of the grille
you pop that grille off, and there's foam right there
I removed that
it helps to widen the soundstage, brings the sub-bass up more and leaves the trebles less constrained
thick plank
I thought you removed the oval of cloth on the outside which in sennheiser's words has to do with the damping effect and keeping a consistent sound profile in different environments
Also it doesn't do all that if jt is on the back of the grill
thick plank
The reason the 559 modd matters is because it is a thick foam that blocks air completely and the 650 has a foam against the driver which restricts how it moves
Clearly they are not quite as good as you thought as the effects you are describing would not occur from that change
brisk parcel
the foam here is not much different from that, it dampens sound coming in from outside the headset by at least 10-15% more
thick plank
No, that isnt what it does
brisk parcel
well clearly it does if I can hear people much easier without the foam
thick plank
As it is a thin foam and does not block air pressure changes in the headset and it doesn't press against the driver
brisk parcel
but, without that foam it still allows the sound more freedom to travel
thick plank
What that foam does is protect against stains and damage because the 559 driver is much more susceptible to that than the 650 driver
brisk parcel
it 100% widened the soundstage, and I looked into that, it's not like I'm gonna be taking these anywhere
thick plank
...
brisk parcel
for the mods watching I'm sure this is fun 😂
seriously dude, I did plenty of homework on this
I was torn between the 58Xs, 600s, 6XXs and 650s for over 2 months
I went with the 58Xs as modding them would bring them closer to the 660S, but that's out of my price range
thick plank
And again, you are objectively wrong on all the points you made but support them with anecdores which are also wrong...
brisk parcel
dude I just graduated high school, I need to save for college, and really?
charts don't lie
I even gave you a PDF to back it all up
thick plank
The images you sent demonstrated how different they are and if im correct on what that pdf is from it also explains that it isnt the same driver at all nor is it even a similar sized driver or using the same shape or materials
brisk parcel
this filter might help as well, the roll-off allowed the bass to extend into the mids more, and the treble could go higher without being over-bearing
I never said they were the same driver
I said they were based on the same driver, which they are
thick plank
No, they arent
brisk parcel
directly from the product page: "The HD 58X Jubilee uses Sennheiser’s new 150-ohm drivers, which require less amplification than previous driver platforms while retaining the same magnet strength and driver size. "
thick plank
They are not the same in terms of material usage, driver size, membrane used, dampened material, dampener size, or dampener shape
thick plank
Sennheiser didn't make the product page on Massdrop and there are plenty of forums and discussions on how massdrop lied in the marketing and product page of the headset (and they dont have only one 150 ohm driver)
brisk parcel
I know they don't have only one driver, and where are these things saying that drop lied? I never found any of that in my months of research
go onto the product page there and look at the graphs yourself, I don't want to waste my time putting them here, I will link the page for you though
they compare to the 650s btw
at least in the charts
which are better than the 559
they're not even considered in the same league as the 559 man
you can say the 559 and 595 are the same, but from what i've seen from tonight alone, clearly they aren't
foam around a driver doesn't affect frequency response
and if so, that would be clearly reflected
give me a few mins to switch over to my phone please, if you want to even keep talking

trim plover
Should I get the cloud 2 or artics 5
brisk parcel
Dude I’m telling you now they’re not the same driver
I’ve used both extensively, and there is a major difference, both in sound quality and soundstage
They don’t even look the same in the pictures you sent
@untold acorn what’s your budget for keyboards?
@trim plover tbh, if you have the money, I recommend the cooler master MH751 or MH752 instead
The only difference is that the MH752 comes with the little DAC/AMP that has surround sound
Sorry, I didn’t mean to say “if you have the money” they’re a very similar price
trim plover
yea the budget is a $100
I just ordered the hyper cloud 2
I mean I could cancel it
but I like the sound controls and etc
brisk parcel
Ah alright, you won’t be disappointed by those either if you really want them
I had cloud 2s for 3 and a half years before I got my new headphones
trim plover
are the cloud 2s good?
I’ve seen a lot of pros use them
especially csgo players
and I’ve just never seen the cooler master brand
as a headset
so idk
brisk parcel
Yeah they’re good, but my only thing about that is that, they’re marketed for “gaming” etc
Long story short
trim plover
I mean I’m not doing very serious gaming but I do play competitively
I play valorant
maybe fortnite sometimes
idk
or even modern warfare
brisk parcel
If you want to cancel the cloud 2s and try the cooler masters, they’re definitely a little higher quality for the money
Yeah yeah I get it no worries
One thing about the cloud 2s though, they have better imaging with the surround turned OFF
imaging is being able to tell directly where the sound is coming from
If you have the time to watch these 2 videos I’m gonna send you, they’re about the cloud alpha, which is a slightly newer cloud 2, they use the same driver, and the MH 751/752
You’ll be happy with either though, don’t worry
After personally listening to both, I agree that the MH75Xs are better for the money, but both are good
brisk parcel
Well, it really depends
trim plover
Alright ima watch the video
brisk parcel
I put mine through very rigorous use for the years I had them, and the mic was going bad, not the mic itself, but since there’s no splitter for mic and audio, the mic connection in the cable was going bad
So, as my friends put it, it sounds like posseidon was coming up out of the water, occasionally
Depending on which way the cable was turned, etc
But I could still hear fine with them
tight pulsar
i have the cloud 2s and i can give the most unprofessional review if u want cause idk anything
trim plover
so the mic got worse?
brisk parcel
No, the quality of the mic stayed the same
trim plover
are the cloud2s good though @tight pulsar
brisk parcel
But the connection in the cable got lose, and I don’t know why
trim plover
oh
brisk parcel
And since it’s not a detachable cable, it’s hard to fix
But like I said, you’ll be happy with them
tight pulsar
theyre pretty good for gaming and music
brisk parcel
They’re definitely one of the best for the money
tight pulsar
but i got mine for free so i cant really complain about them :v
brisk parcel
Watching those videos will help you out
So I recommend you do that and come back to me
trim plover
isn’t it like the takstar headphones
brisk parcel
Yup
brisk parcel
Exact same ones, but the earcups are slightly wider, to give the sound more room
And it’s not like the logo on the side says “cooler master” either
It’s just that little hexagon
So if you wanted to use them for mobile listening, which I recommend since they’re great for music too, you can just detach the mic
You can do the same for the cloud 2s though
Alright just watch the vids I’ll be here 😂
If you have a chance, and the budget sometime, I would pick up a pair of open-backs, they’re really something else

Also please stop using z reviews
split nimbus
Kenny is gone
thick plank
The guy is largely as much of a meme in the audio community as hw canucks is in the pc community
The only difference is that the MH752 comes with the little DAC/AMP that has surround sound
@brisk parcel dac is to remove electrical noise and amps are just to supply power (different caps can effect noise output due to how they discharge)
thick plank
This is why most cheap audio equipment uses electrolytic caps, useless audio equipment use solid caps, and high end stuff use film caps
@split nimbus the point of a dac outside of your pc is to remove electrical noise. People dong get then because your pc is somehow incapabke of converting a signal
split nimbus
By solid cap, do you mean ceramic?
thick plank
There are many types of solid caps
thick plank
Well capacitors aren't just an insulator
split nimbus
I understand what a capacitor is
thick plank
Infact, the conductor material is about as important
split nimbus
For the ESR and Z scores and such?
thick plank
Aluminum polymer is one of the more common solid caps
split nimbus
So not like the ceramics
thick plank
Correct
split nimbus
More along the line of tantalum
thick plank
If you see mainly aluminum polymer cap for an amp generally that means it will sound bad
west hornet
umm dac is to remove electrical noise? They can very much add noise if the manufacturer wanted. the point of it is to convert a digital signal to a analog signal headphones and speakers can read. you could get a external one to limit the interference coming in or even using a connection like optical to eliminate most of the noise from outside sources.
split nimbus
The solid cap thing makes sense. Tantalum also has pretty bad frequency response, so I imagine aluminum would behave similarly
The dac thing though is odd I agree
thick plank
No, the purpose is not to add electrical noise in any instance... that is simply the result of bad design
west hornet
it is not the purpose but if the manufacturer did choose it could very well be the purpose
split nimbus
The purpose of a DAC is to take a digital signal and convert it to an analog voltage or current level
west hornet
electrical noise is not the main function
thick plank
It would be like saying tuting is designed to need larger dies to do the same work as pascal. That is simply the result of a poor int focused design and nvidia didnt consciously say we want to have a worse design
split nimbus
Oh, I remember you now
west hornet
it is one of the aspects of converting a signal you should look out for as you don't want a dac or amp spewing out more noise
split nimbus
A digital signal is more immune to EMI as compared to an analog one. That might be why you thank the DAC removes noise
That's one of the reason VGA cables degrade over distance
thick plank
@west hornet which is why it isnt what manufacturers aim for and parts that see high effects from external electrical noise are just bad designs
The manufacturer doesn't sit down and say "how can we have more unterfereence effect our signal"
split nimbus
Actually, a good manufactuere will do just that
west hornet
you buy a dac/amp to get the most out of the headphones you own. this could be in frequency response, clarity, depth, etc.
split nimbus
If you can find paths for EMI to make its way in, you can block it
thick plank
You dont want it effecting the actual analog signal as that will alter the sound to the headphones
neon quartzBOT
fortnut#7992 has been warned
thick plank
Oof
thick plank
No, the goal of a dac is to keep the signal integrity as perfect as possible with as little alteration as possible from the original sound
west hornet
different dacs often have different signatures if you will. there are consumer dacs that generally have a bit of a warmer sound that is better for listening where many studio dacs in interfaces and such have a goal of keeping the signal as flat and accurate as possible so it depends on the use case
split nimbus
But it will always affect the signal to some degree
west hornet
another example is tube amps often have different unique sound signatures, so you don't buy one cuz it's good, you get it to suit your own ears
thick plank
@west hornet actually that usually has more to do with the amp unless your dac is just doing s poor job converting the signal
west hornet
it can do with both
thick plank
Not unless you have a bad dac design
west hornet
amps are mostly supposed to raise the level of the output while keeping the signal clean with least amount of noise
thick plank
The amp however it is heavily dependent on due to how caps discharge to supply power for certain frequencies
split nimbus
It also depends on the inductors, but the biggest thing is what sort of active component it uses
A bipolar amp will sound very different than a mosfet amp for the exact same components in the rest of the circuit
thick plank
The purpose of a mosfet for power delivery is to block the flow of electrons or let them pass by switching from an active or non active state... an amp doesn't need to block the signal as that would alter audio...
thick plank
No, I study computer engineering and have known this since I was maybe 15?
It isnt a complex topic lmfao
split nimbus
I too study computer engineering, so I know that this is more electrical engineering than CEG.
That said, I probably have been working with breadboards and discrete components since I was 13 or so
There seems to be mosfet here, no?
west hornet
one last thing i might add is audio is highly subjective to the person. We can talk about electrical differences all day but in the end it comes to how it sounds to you. the best way to know the differences is to simply hear it for yourself.
split nimbus
Yeah
The mosfet deal is mostly calling fortnut's bluff. If you want to have high signal fidelity, you're going to want to have a veryhigh, ideally infinte, input impedence. mosfet's have that, and that's why they're used for opamps and rc circuits.
west hornet
it's like the magni 3+ and heresy from schiit, the heresy is a op amp that measures slightly better but they both sound identical.
split nimbus
Yeah
Frankly, I think the "perfect fidelity" circuits sound kinda cold, I like there to be a little bit of distortion or non-linearity or whatever in there to warm things up
west hornet
exactly why measurements don't always matter, in the end it's what you like 🙂
split nimbus
Same reason I like AM over FM I guess. FM just sounds harsh
thick plank
Just got back and I will admit that was my mistake (on not realizing why they would be needed)
The main reason for sound difference on tube amps however is more because they are higher impedence (which results in compromise if used for output)
It isnt that they are supplying a different sound, it's just a design needs to be tweaked to accommodate the worse impedance
split nimbus
Yeah, output impedence is a whole nother issue
If you're dealing with high power stuff, you can actually burn out your amp if you have mismatched impedences
Never seen it happen, but heard reports
brisk parcel
@thick plank I know what a DAC and an AMP is
My sound blasterX G6 acts as both, and btw, you forgot about DSP
thick plank
They dont effect the sound stage as that has to do more with the headset
Actually entirely
merry sundial
Since no DAC is perfect, different designs and constructions will impart their own nuance to their analog output signal.
brisk parcel
I’m getting a Schiit modi and magni here soon, and I prefer my 58Xs on those over my G6, although the filter option on the G6 is a very nice added bonus
thick plank
Not this again...
brisk parcel
And I agree with Chopsticks, it all depends on what the manufacturer wants to achieve, and what the end user wants for their ears
And what do you mean “not this again”
While my G6 can drive up to 600 ohms, it doesn’t provide the warmth that the modi and magni will
I considered a tube amp honestly, but that’s not something my budget can afford right now
I can’t even afford the modi and magni atm, I’m waiting, but they will be my end choice for sure
merry sundial
I'd guess a tube amp would have a higher THD vs a similar class D amp built with semiconductor based switching components.
But might have a "warmer" feel
brisk parcel
Yeah, from what I’ve heard and researched, tubes have a “warmer” feel
west hornet
I am mildly intrigued by tube amps, but it is something i would have to listen to on hand
brisk parcel
It depends on the type of tube obviously, and not each tube of the same type is similar
thick plank
That again is because they are higher impedance which makes powering bass harder if they are incorporated in a design and not adjusted for
Not because they are better for highs or mids or some odd reasoning like that
brisk parcel
Since tubes have an overall warmer feeling, some could argue that depending on the cans you’re using, the warmer feeling could influence how the mids and highs sound
west hornet
Im not sure i would say quite warmer. but tube amps you really have to listen to on hand
thick plank
Again, that isnt what is happening. The sound appears "warmer" because they are higher impedance and bass is harder to power with them if you have a bad amp design that doesn't accommodate them
fierce nova
is sound warmer near volcanoes?
west hornet
Yes
thick plank
It is not improving mids or highs in any way nor is it an automatic characteristic of the tube transistors
west hornet
sounds very pretty when you take a dip in
brisk parcel
@west hornet I agree, I’ve only listened to the Schiit Vali 2(is that how it’s spelled) and one other that for the life of me I can’t remember the name
But I don’t consider the Vali 2 to be a real tube amp
I definitely noticed that the tubes gave a warmer feeling
