Anyone know why my Ping and in game lag has gotten really high all of a sudden. I’ve tried both Ethernet cords I have, and nothing changed

queen sigil
upper yarrow
#

thanks

signal marsh
#

Not as high, but I still had ping jumps in other games, to 100+ when I never did in the past

tacit wing
#

@signal marsh look up your ISP on Down Detector

#

to see if theyre having problems or maintenance

#

my ISP doesnt do any headsup when theyre doing maintenance and they just do whatever

tacit wing
#

@timber ridge yo what did u get

swift lantern
#

The used market for headphone amps is slim pickings

tacit wing
#

6xx's floating everywhere tho

#

swift lantern
#

Hmmm

#

#

For money

#

heyo I was wondering something so you know how the go xlr has sfx stuff yeah I want that but cheaper or some way to get sfx

tight pulsar
#

oh yeah cbus doesnt really have great isp's from the people i know there

normal barn
#

hello people

#

welcome to ep 2 of cholax life

sly warren
#

The best Wireless Gaming Headset, is not Wireless.

#

Because all wireless headsets are dumpster garbage.

normal barn
#

ikr

#

and headset in general

sly warren
#

There's a select few headsets that are "good enough"

#

Kingston HyperX Cloud 2's, and the PC37X/PC38X are both in the "Good 'nuff" category

normal barn
#

agreed

#

and razer and stellseries

#

💩

#

well tbh the blacksharks from razer are good enough

#

the razer nari ultimate and steelseries arctic pro are bs

#

haptic feedback lmao jsut vibrating headset

#

this is my life rn

#

west hornet

west hornet
#

oh ya i saw that

#

i like the shape of them and the design, might fit nice in my ear. but i dont have 100 to spend on iems

tacit wing
normal barn
#

ayo

#

starfields

#

@tacit wing whats the difference betwwen the porta pros x

#

and the porta pros

#

i know the x have a mic and is the newer one from drop

#

and waht do u think of this

amber oracle
#

@tacit wing that name keeps on tripping me up

#

Starfield = name of a game that is in development by Bethasda

timber ridge
#

ik 1more earphones were p good

tacit wing
#

youre tellin me

timber ridge
#

dunno much about the cans

tacit wing
#

theyre not fully focusing on TES VI

amber oracle
#

they are a wee bit too big to only focus on one game @tacit wing

tacit wing
#

the next installion of The Elder Scrolls is big enough to put all efforts into

#

its like Grand Theft Auto

#

but curious about Starfield

amber oracle
#

skyrim aint that interesting a game

tacit wing
#

Sales says otherwise

amber oracle
#

and i say that as a BIG fan of the TES system

#

Last i looked at the next TES game, they had doubled down on sticking with the same broken engine they used for skyrim

#

aka Gamebryo

#

and that alone is enough that i have close to zero hope for it being a interesting game

tacit wing
#

broken engine means more memes

amber oracle
#

some of us, has had the "pleasure" of being around for all the broken engines

#

so it just isnt "fun" anymore

swift lantern
#

I do wish they'd just use unreal or something

stoic solar
#

and beth fixed the bug

#

but fans liked it so much they patched it back in omegalul

amber oracle
#

yes, i also remember the part where the person responsible for actual interesting world building is NOT with the company anymore

stoic solar
swift lantern
#

Oop

tacit wing
#

i feel like one Bethesdas biggest trademarks are their hilarious bugs and glitches

gloomy berry
#

nDeed

amber oracle
#

it used to be that they were known for the worlds they built

#

have a look at the earlier TES games

tacit wing
#

ive never played morrowind, earliest ive played was oblivion

amber oracle
#

i would give a LOT of money for having morrowind released in a more stable engine

#

because its so delightfully "different" in the setting itself

timber ridge
#

noticed a lot of static sound from the dac

#

not so gamery moment

tacit wing
#

if devs didnt have a set released date that they have to put crunch time into like we saw with Cyberpunk id reckon alot of instability will be smoothed out

gloomy berry
#

Release dates can be moved

#

And frequently are

amber oracle
#

isolated as the only "factor", it wont really change anything @tacit wing

tacit wing
#

theyre shooting themselves in the foot by publicly announcing a super ambitious release date, people get hyped, gets pushed back, people get pissed so theyre forced to launch a scuffed product

#

i guess older games back then didnt had that pressure

gloomy berry
#

Yes, people (gamers specificall) suck for that reason

#

The amount of hate because a date gets pushed back is unreal

amber oracle
#

difference was there was not a easy place to whine about it.

timber ridge
#

dino you think i should wait for my 5v adapter or rma

gloomy berry
#

Then they get an infinished product and whine even more

#

it's epic honestly

tacit wing
#

it wasnt like that day 1?

#

you just woke up today and its static city?

timber ridge
#

yea

#

like im on genshin

#

and its static

tacit wing
tight pulsar
#

sounds like you need an amp /s

timber ridge
#

or my motherboard is messed up

tacit wing
#

at first i was thinking interference but idk where the source would be

timber ridge
#

yea, im not sure what the issue is

tacit wing
#

if your mic starts failing and then now your dacamp something must be stinky in ur pc

#

its no coincidence they went kaput on roughly the same time

timber ridge
#

ims switch usb and see hat happens

#

same o

#

ill try updating it

tacit wing
#

do u have any other pc in ur house

swift lantern
#

You know there's a group of devs making morrowind in skyrim's engine

timber ridge
#

yea

tacit wing
#

and?

#

try it out on that

swift lantern
#

Motherboards are often stinky

timber ridge
#

this is a major bruh button

#

the fact that my keeb n stuff works perfect is what's throwing me off

thorny aspen
#

need help with headphone amp using a 990 dt pro 600 ohm and need a decent amp for it

calm cobalt
#

Whats your favourite keyboard switch for typing

swift lantern
#

JDS atom could do it, topping a50s would more than power it

daring zenith
#

It's all really personal preference

#

Generally people like linear for gaming, tactile for multi-purpose and work, and weird people like clicky

calm cobalt
#

I am thinking to buy the hyperx alloy fps pro

#

okok

daring zenith
#

I'll explain what's good about keychron that hyperx doesn't do

timber ridge
#

you can get it off of amazon

daring zenith
#

I don't see keychron on amazon normally

#

But anyways

#

Most Keychron keyboards let you choose hotswappable switches

calm cobalt
#

I dont need hotswappable

daring zenith
#

It's a very nice to have once you figure out what you like

granite furnace
#

if you aren't sure what switch you like/want, it can be a useful feature

daring zenith
#

Next, switches are pre-lubed

timber ridge
#

stabs are *

daring zenith
#

Meant stabs

#

Oops

#

And stabs are pre-clipped

calm cobalt
#

blue better that red and brown

cunning hearth
#

ew clickys

daring zenith
#

Blue is clicky, red is linear, brown is tactile

#

I like Browns

timber ridge
#

switch type is preference, there is no better switch

calm cobalt
#

Some brown are like blue

queen sigil
#

id like to believe i converted people to keychron

daring zenith
#

@queen sigil yes you did

queen sigil
cunning hearth
#

lol

timber ridge
#

out of the thousands

#

you got one

daring zenith
#

Such a good keeb

cunning hearth
#

my friend bought a keychron k2 or smthn i forgot which one

queen sigil
daring zenith
#

I have a K8 and I think keybored has a k2?

timber ridge
#

lol

queen sigil
#

i had a kw

#

k2

cunning hearth
#

lol taeha types

queen sigil
#

i customized it for someone

queen sigil
#

just painted and swapped the switches

daring zenith
#

I suggest you don't get blues

cunning hearth
#

why hyperx

queen sigil
#

i suggest you dont get a hyperx keyboard

calm cobalt
#

theres is no brown

cunning hearth
#

dont get the "gaming" brands like hyperx, corsair, razer

queen sigil
#

no upgradability low quality parts high price

daring zenith
#

Does it have to be under 100cad?

calm cobalt
#

yes

queen sigil
#

just get a keychron

#

simple

timber ridge
#

he can fit a keychron in the budget

#

if not go with rk

cunning hearth
#

i think my friend got the c2 or smthn

west hornet
#

make own keyboard

queen sigil
#

yeah

#

c2

cunning hearth
#

he's like I NEED NUMPAD

daring zenith
#

Keychron shipping will take it above 100cad I think tho

queen sigil
#

very budget

daring zenith
#

Since it's usd

cunning hearth
#

does it matter if its like 5-10 more?

daring zenith
#

But keychron so nice

queen sigil
#

i want to see if it has libed and clipped stabs

west hornet
#

design and order a bare pcb, solder all the components on it, buy the switches, design own software for keyboard

calm cobalt
#

but its more for typing and not gaming

queen sigil
#

or just ask him of he knows how to check

cunning hearth
#

he doesnt know much

#

i recommended to him

#

and he's like ok sure

queen sigil
#

because the c2 is like dummy cheap

daring zenith
#

@calm cobalt do you need full sized or TKL keyboard?

west hornet
#

keyboard is keyboard, gaming = rgb

daring zenith
#

Basically, do you need numpad?

calm cobalt
#

tkl

#

not 100%

cunning hearth
#

i dunno if he recived yet he ordered it

cunning hearth
queen sigil

calm cobalt
#

queen sigil
#

75% is the best

#

most versitile keyboard sizes

daring zenith
#

queen sigil

cunning hearth
#

#

i think

queen sigil
#

best keyboard sizes for work

daring zenith
#

I don't think so

cunning hearth
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

daring zenith

cunning hearth
#

queen sigil
#

LIKE AS REPLACEMENTS

cunning hearth
#

queen sigil
#

#

daring zenith
#

The thing is I use del, home, end, pgup, pgdn, and prtscrn

granite furnace
cunning hearth
#

i saw a guy on ebay who was selling replacement keycaps for apple butterfly kbd for $2.50 each

daring zenith
#

granite furnace
#

daring zenith
#

I can't do one well

#

I'll try my headset mic again

west hornet
#

Ooo I should record a sound test

calm cobalt

gloomy berry

audio clip no play

#

Discord hates me

tacit wing
#

not listening. its not flac

gloomy berry
#

mmmm

#

nVidia includes software to get rid of the clicky stuff

#

it really works well

daring zenith
#

hm

#

I do have rtx voice

#

use that?

gloomy berry
#

Yes

#

LTT did a video on it

#

It's honestly amazing

daring zenith
#

Ima use something else for recording then

gloomy berry
#

ALL background noise was gone

daring zenith
#

what software...

gloomy berry
#

Recording what?

#

Videos?

daring zenith
#

audio

gloomy berry
#

not my gig, can't help there lol

#

I use OBS for everything

stoic solar
#

@daring zenith rtx voice just adds a virtual mic and speakers to your volume mixer

#

can use it on anything

#

but for recording audio ive used audacity in the past

west hornet
#

rtx is miracle worker

daring zenith
#

@stoic solar yea I use rtx voice sometimes, I was just asking about recording software because the random one I used that saves to the .m4a format is weird

stoic solar
#

audacity is gr8

#

and tbh rtx voice alone makes it so ill never buy an amd card as long as i live

west hornet
#

i usually take audio recordings in adobe audition or reaper, audacity is good free option

sly warren
#

Honestly, RTX Voice and the other streaming stuff (Like AI Background Remove) will probably push me back to Streaming when I get either a 3060Ti or 3080.

#

The 3070 is a pointless card now that the 3060Ti exists.

daring zenith
#

you're joking

#

rtx voice gets rid of my keyboard sounds xD

#

that was the whole point I was gonna use it smh

tacit wing
west hornet
#

Yes it does

timber ridge
#

rtx voice is a must

west hornet
#

Lol

daring zenith
#

I was trying to get my keeb sounds

#

for sound test smh

timber ridge
#

o dino, i tried plugging in my mic back to usb port it was in and unplug the dac

#

no issues so far

tacit wing
#

so the other day ur mic was tripping, now its ur dac amp

timber ridge
#

idk tbh

#

like i cant pin point the issue

west hornet
#

Usb issue

timber ridge
#

thats what im hinting towards

tacit wing
#

have you tried both products on another PC

west hornet
#

Buy new usb

timber ridge
#

yea they work

#

but now they work on my pc

#

tacit wing

Still trying to find what wrong with my interface , moving it seem to minimize some issues

daring zenith
#

bruh how

cunning hearth
#

did u lube it?

daring zenith
#

nah

sly warren
#

Jebus, a PC37X for 60 dollars?

daring zenith
#

me no lube

sly warren
#

Snatch that up this instant.

west hornet
#

Smh mr1 recordings in wav

cunning hearth
#

lube ur stabs and switches

#

and clip stabs too

timber ridge
#

its kinda far from me

cunning hearth
#

will sound rly nice

daring zenith
#

stabs are pre clipped and lubed pretty sure

sly warren
#

Just do it

daring zenith
#

swtiches not lubed

cunning hearth
#

hm

#

what switches

#

u have

daring zenith
#

gat browns

cunning hearth
#

mm

#

u should lube

daring zenith
#

lubing too advanced for me

sly warren
#

^

cunning hearth
#

lol its not very hard

sly warren
#

If I could jam the lube down the stem gap I would.

daring zenith
#

no equipment

#

and no lube

sly warren
#

But, opening switches is a PITA as-is

tacit wing
#

its not hard but not everyone has the time@ѕѕєηтι#4349

daring zenith
#

and know knowledge of what to get

cunning hearth
#

u dont need anyhting besides a flat tip screwdriver, paintbrush, and lube

tacit wing
#

and alot of time

sly warren
#

And a place to hold the switches.

cunning hearth
#

@tacit wing yea ik

sly warren
#

Because getting stabbed by those tiny contacts hurts.

cunning hearth
sly warren
#

No, like hold them while you open them.

tacit wing
#

too much effort to what is essentially just ASMR

cunning hearth
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sly warren
#

Exactly.

#

When I get my K2 Hotswap and G-Pandas that's it for awhile for my keeb adventures.

daring zenith
#

I need brush, something to hold switch, and lube

cunning hearth
#

and screwdriver

daring zenith
#

screwdriver for what

cunning hearth
#

so u dont break your nails trying to open the switch

daring zenith
#

yea

cunning hearth
#

or a switch opener

daring zenith
#

something to hold and open switch with

#

whatever the name is

cunning hearth
#

u dont hold the switch with the opener?

#

u open it

#

and then u get a tray thingy

daring zenith
#

Thought you put it in tray and then it's easy to take it apart

sly warren
#

Honestly, why do the stupid contacts have to be pointy?

#

Why can't it be Pins to Pads like other hotswap type stuff?

cunning hearth
#

no its like a opener to open

#

i dunno how to say it

#

but they're two different things

tight pulsar
#

pins arent bad

#

just get a 3d printed opener theyre easy to open

granite furnace
#

I have a handful of SLA printed ones and they work wonderfully

granite furnace
sly warren
#

I know. But why can't Cherry/Gateron/Whoever makes switches make a Hotswap variant of their switches and then we make new hotswap capable boards that just use a flat "pin" and a flat pad on the PCB.

queen sigil
#

too much money to develop id assume

granite furnace
#

maybe they are working on it. who knows? but I don't blame them if they don't think it's worthwhile at this point. hotswap functionality still represents a very small percentage of all the keyboards that are manufactured

#

I view hotswap functionality as more of a novelty and gimmick. the overwhelming majority of people are not changing out switches frequently. it's kind of nice to have to test out different switches, but once you know what you like, there's no point

sly warren
#

I'd rather all boards go to a universal hotswap that way you just buy the shell you like, and then you buy the switches you like, and boom, you have your keyboard.

tacit wing
#

im gettin this im gettin this im gettin this im gettin this

swift lantern
#

OK SO

#

@tacit wing I actually have them on my head now

timber ridge
#

first impressions?

swift lantern
#

comfy

#

being open has a lot less of an effect on sound than I thought it would

sly warren
#

What did you just get?

swift lantern
#

Thieaudio Phantom planar magnetic

sly warren
#

How much were they selling for on the drop?

swift lantern
#

they're actually pretty pleasant out the box, probably only gonna have to eq a bit

#

I don't know if they sell on drop actually, but brand new they are $350-$400

#

I got them for $200

sly warren
#

They do sell on drop

#

68 of them were sold last time they were there.

swift lantern
#

covering them with hands does make them sound worse hehe

sly warren
#

Oh, neat they are sold by Linsoul.

swift lantern
#

ChiFi gang

sly warren
#

What's the sound profile like?

swift lantern
#

I mean I guess I don't have trained ears but to me they sounded neutral warm out the box

sly warren
#

That's not bad.

swift lantern
#

which is surprising cuz everything I'd heard about planar magnetics had me worried a bit about bass

#

and they are very comfy yep yep

sly warren
#

Oh, there's some mods you can do to them.

swift lantern
#

they are actually already modded

sly warren
#

Apparently you can remove the inner foam to improve the sound

swift lantern
#

they already did that haha

#

also has new cable adapters

sly warren
#

Ah, secondhand sale?

swift lantern
#

yeah good deal I think

#

I'm ngl I'm not like, absolutely blown away or anything

#

but they do sound better than what I had hahah not like that was a high bar

sly warren
#

So, apparently the Mids are where the Phantoms reign supreme

timber ridge
#

are they ur first pair of open back ?

swift lantern
#

yessir

sly warren
#

Jesus, you started with a pretty high bar

swift lantern
sly warren
#

My first openbacks were HD 558's

timber ridge
#

whtas ur ops on openback

swift lantern
#

it doesn't effect the sound as much as I thought

#

it definitely has less bass pressure but the bass is still there

timber ridge
#

pressure is the fun part

#

im not getting my cans and iems til next year tho

#

no buying for me until i get my phone

west hornet
#

I don’t love eq, I feel like everytime I attempt eq headphones I just end up getting them very flat

swift lantern
#

lol

timber ridge
#

is that what youre aiming for ?

swift lantern
#

I also already have the e10ks bass switch on btw

west hornet
#

No I just keep arriving at same place for some reason lol

#

My brain broken

timber ridge
#

i only mess with eq on my phone

swift lantern
#

planars are known for their tighter trebble compared to dynamic right

#

what music is good for testing that.. electronic?

sly warren
#

Welp, looks like if I want to get some HE-400i's I will want to grab a Balanced Output.

west hornet
#

Treble maybe instrumental

timber ridge
#

400i's were discounted last time i checked

#

like 140usd i think

sly warren
#

The 2020 model is cheaper than it's 2015 counterpart

#

And basically the same headphone

#

The 2020 model is 169.99 normally before any deals.

west hornet
#

Maybe I should invest in balanced so I stop getting interference from my phone brainlet

sly warren
#

Get a Fiio BRT-5

#

Whoops

#

BTR

timber ridge
#

i wish i had a pair of neutral open back cans to test

calm cobalt
#

where do i send pics

timber ridge
#

sly warren
#

Of what?

calm cobalt
#

#

sly warren
#

Here I guess.

calm cobalt
#

i cant

#

sly warren
#

Ah

#

Rank

#

Send more messages.

timber ridge
#

did you jus join the server to flex ur peripherals

calm cobalt
#

no

#

i just bought a mic

west hornet
#

The only balanced connection I have is balanced speaker outs on my interface

calm cobalt
#

i wanna see what u think

timber ridge
#

you have to level up

#

by typing

sly warren
#

^

calm cobalt
#

do i spam

west hornet
calm cobalt
#

is there a spamming channel

west hornet
#

No

sly warren
#

🤦

west hornet
#

Spam does not work

sly warren
#

Spam =/= Good

timber ridge
#

i dont really understand the unbalance vs balance thingy

sly warren
#

You need to have messages that actually contribute to a conversation.

calm cobalt
#

goodbye

swift lantern
#

lol

sly warren
swift lantern
#

power

#

the end

sly warren
#

Not entirely...

swift lantern
#

a) power
b) power

sly warren
#

Basically, there's 2 alternating signals that get sent down 2 cables (This is why headphones with 2 cables can have balanced output) and they are out of phase with eachother.

#

The "noise" that the signals individually have get cancelled out right when they hit the input due to them going back in phase.

small nimbus
#

ghosty can you explain this

timber ridge
#

so basically

#

in super simple terms

#

unbalance picks up unwanted noise

#

balance is a cleaner

swift lantern
#

a dac already eliminates noise

sly warren
#

Unbalanced has no way to deal with unwanted noise.

#

Balanced inherently removes unwanted noise.

small nimbus
swift lantern
#

so balanced might be more well suited for a quiet listener then

#

cuz everything I listen to is too intense for any noise to matter

tacit wing
west hornet
#

Oops did I spell wrong

tacit wing
#

is the first person that comes to mind when i hear saddist

timber ridge
#

whats the opposite of saddist

#

forgot the term

small nimbus
#

i cant say

#

nsfw

#

😳

timber ridge
#

oof

tacit wing
swift lantern
#

I think I might buy a dollar store strainer or two to make a mod for these babies

timber ridge
#

it starts with a m

swift lantern
#

a masochist

timber ridge
#

i cant think of it

#

thats it

#

i think of darkness lol

west hornet
#

Balanced has 2 signals , one original and one inverted. Playing at same time it will in the end play the original signal but only that, so any other noise picked up that is not the same will not come out. Like cross referencing

#

I used to do that all the time with songs, inverting the polarities and stuff some songs you can isolate vocals or instruments

timber ridge
#

ooo kk

#

my dac has a balance and unbalance output

#

didnt know what they ment but now i have an idea of it

west hornet
#

Ye that’s part of it. I actually didn’t know what balanced was for a while after I learned about the inverting stuff

swift lantern
#

darkness is a meme masochist

west hornet
#

Darkness is nice

timber ridge
#

still is one

#

megumin overrated

swift lantern
#

why is there 2.5 and 4.5 balanced btw

west hornet
#

Megu is nice love_it

swift lantern
timber ridge
#

overrated doenst mean bad

tight pulsar
small nimbus
#

also i totally photoshopped that definition just for the meme

#

i dont think saddist is actually a word

timber ridge
#

urban dictionary

swift lantern
#

feel like I might need to mod these babies so they don't flop around

#

never had a headphone that could flip 360 degrees no prob

small nimbus
#

yea its not on urban either

west hornet
small nimbus
#

yea ik that's the word, but you spelled it w/ two d's and i photo shopped the definition to look like that

west hornet
#

I guess I like suffering

tacit wing
small nimbus
#

dino love_it

timber ridge
#

it doent work for urself

#

cant be a sadist if you like yourself suffering

swift lantern

tacit wing
#

Kuzu updates on the 6xx?

swift lantern
#

lemme check

queen sigil
#

stoic solar
#

i have hundreds of artists dled

sly warren
stoic solar
#

ur fine if u just want a few

swift lantern
#

I'm hoping so incredibly bad that I like the phantoms more than the 6xx

stoic solar
#

that 439 can fit a bunch

tacit wing
#

lili do you listen to that much music or u just have it just for the sake of storing it

swift lantern
#

I have like 700 flacs and all that is only 26gb

stoic solar
#

@tacit wing i use soundcloud for everything

swift lantern
#

BRO

stoic solar
#

one of my friends has soundcloud

swift lantern
#

SOUNDCLOUD

stoic solar
#

@swift lantern all i listen to are remixes lmao

timber ridge

ppl abuse my library

tight pulsar
stoic solar
#

most of the independent edm scene i guess

#

i have so many djs ask me for sets

sly warren
#

Does it need to be high quality when all it is is booming bass?

tacit wing
#

Flume's stuff is properly recorded

timber ridge
tacit wing
#

its pretty layered as well

#

but majority really do be brick wall recordings

tight pulsar
stoic solar
#

sadly

#

i wonder if my friend is gonna keep having soundcloud

timber ridge
#

my music taste is all over the place

stoic solar
#

its a lot

timber ridge
#

ill legit listen to anything but country

stoic solar
#

personally i dont think soundcloud is reasonable

sly warren
#

Same.

tacit wing
#

the only country i listened to is kacey musgraves

stoic solar
#

@timber ridge the one exception to that is lost dog street band

#

i adore them

sly warren
#

I can't wait to buy an iPod and replace spotify with MP3's from the internet.

stoic solar
#

paying $9 per month for soundcloud rn

timber ridge
#

wish i still had my ipod shuffle

stoic solar
#

i wish i could just do what my friend did but

#

w e w

#

2 much 4 me

timber ridge
#

its prob filled with dubstep n stuff lmao

sly warren
#

My dream iPod is a 2nd gen Mini

#

My 2nd dream iPod is a 5th Gen Classic

stoic solar
#

@sly warren batteries bulge and will break the device

swift lantern
#

true true most of the dubstep n stuff out there is just on youtube

stoic solar
#

also impossible to replace

sly warren
#

Not the Mini

swift lantern
#

maybe bandcamp if you're lucky

sly warren
#

That's the Nano

swift lantern
#

is bandcamp in full fat flac?

stoic solar
#

no

sly warren
#

The Nano is what gets the Black Spot of Death

stoic solar
#

its the mini too iirc

sly warren
#

Nope

timber ridge
#

i use to listen to so much dubstep in like 3rd grade i think

#

or so

sly warren
#

Mini's don't suffer the BSpOD

sly warren
#

That's downright easy compared to a Nano

stoic solar
#

plus 0 point when classic exists and can take up to 1tb

sly warren
#

2nd Gen Mini can too

#

And, it can shuffle as many songs as a 6th Gen Classic

#

Roughly about 60k

stoic solar
#

black and white screen tho 🤮

sly warren
#

More batt life

#

Who needs color when you are literally just using it for music?

stoic solar
#

i just used my phone and an external drive i made when i actually used my flacs

tacit wing
#

@swift lantern so how does soulseek entirely work

swift lantern
#

you search for a thing, if they have it, you can get it

tacit wing
#

you share a folder of yours and you can pretty much dl anything

swift lantern
#

if they don't, you don't

stoic solar
#

@tacit wing its like weird bittorrent basically

swift lantern
#

you don't even technically have to share but it's nice to do so

#

oh do me a favor and see if my shares work

stoic solar
#

for people who suck too much to get into RED

tacit wing
#

i shared a BLACKPINK album

swift lantern
#

search for "2019 Takanori Nishikawa" and see what comes up

tacit wing
#

are most of the stuff on here flac

stoic solar
#

some

swift lantern
#

not entirely

stoic solar
#

but some are just bad reencodes

tacit wing
#

wack

swift lantern
#

but they're the most reliable source for flacs I've found

stoic solar
#

quality is all over the place

#

its bleh

swift lantern
#

that's true

#

some of the flacs are bad

stoic solar
#

i keep my tools secret >:))))

swift lantern
#

pretty good for the most part though

#

if nothing else, 320kbps a plenty

stoic solar
#

u will never know how 2 flac properly omegalul

swift lantern
#

you talking about an audio checker?

stoic solar
#

i think i might have a problem tbh

swift lantern
#

I check by ear

stoic solar
#

7tb of flac and idgaf abt audio quality

swift lantern
#

since that's all that mattters

#

bro give

#

give me that hard drive

#

what's wrong with you

stoic solar
#

tacit wing
swift lantern
#

dino did you search what I said

stoic solar
#

@swift lantern lmk if u want any specific thing in flac tho

swift lantern
#
