oh yeah bois, it's sad time
should i buy it
Yeah... That's fake.
yoooooo 1000000000mah
woahhhh
10000000 mah for 14 bucks is too good to be true no way its real
dont really buy stuff from wish other than clothes or other cheap stuff
wish best 
looking for some guidance on an internal expansion card to add a few usb-c ports to my desktop.... any must have or must avoid recommendations?
Do you specifically need like, USB-C at 3.0 speeds?
If not, just get some USB-C to USB-A converters.
@mint cedar
Do you have any USB-C devices that even can USE USB 3.0 speeds?
I’d like the 3.x speeds and would prefer to stay away from converters....
Converters are fine for like 90% of applications.
I know.... just tend to lose them a lot.... kids man, get into every thing!
Just keep them plugged in?
We use a few things that are 3.0... mainly pcvr. It works with the 2.0/converter, but works better with 3. Yea, leave them in place and all.... but I don’t mind putting in an expansion card.... any reason not too?
It's costly?
And sometimes they are janky
Which VR headset?
If it's a Quest or Quest 2 just use Virtual Desktop if your router is like, half decent.
How costly....? I’m seeing a variety of options for like $30-50. Janky how? Right now we use quest 1 and 2
We do use VD, but have trouble with it from time to time.
Janky as in they don't always work. Especially with USB-C cards.
Rather just plug in for some of the games....
Which games do you have trouble with?
Because I have the basic Xfinity router that has 5ghz support and I play every game over VD with my Quest 1 flawlessly.
Squadrons, elites dangerous mostly. Though the kids have had issues with a few others. I think it’s more the interference in our house.... we have an uncontainable number of misc things tying up through the network... just tends to give me hiccups. I like plugging in 🤷♂️
Get a Mesh Network for your Wi-Fi
That should fix most problems.
Trust me, playing VR without wires is infinitely better.
We have a nest mesh wifi system up now.
I’m glad you like it better. Still like my cables man.... lol
Get an Asus AI Mesh setup
Next time we revamp the network I’ll look at it for sure
I'd just use a USB C to A converter, it's significantly cheaper, and works flawlessly for my VR setup when I didn't have VD.
Thanks man. I’ll keep that in mind!
nest is nice
got it for my parents
saturates their connection
I've heard nothing but terrible reviews for the Nest
admin controls are extremely lacking
idk as someone who has networking experience i think its nice
id use amplifi now
but back when it was like 200 for a 3 point system
these are the google wifi too
I mean, realistically I'd use Ubiquiti gear, but sadly Virtual Desktop HATES Ubiquiti gear.
The new update for google home has a lot more admin controls for the system now...
still not enough imo
I will say, I’ve had a few unexplainable issues with the nest system that are driving me nuts.... might just do that revamp sooner rather than later
196gb or so
If you want a cheap way to upgrade your audio experience with your PC, and you struggle to hear 3D audio in competitive shooters? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08H89VZKQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Buy this.
This little dongle is amazing.
I'm able to flawlessly pick out directional audio from PUBG and even Rainbow Six Siege (which notoriously has a terrible audio engine)
Just note that this thing has enough power to drive 600 Ohm headphones, so most Gaming Headsets or lower-end headphones are going to be LOUD out of this dongle.
oh it shipped?
Yeah, I just got it in today before work.
are you using it for mobile too?
I played 1 round of Training Grounds in Siege, and 1 match of PUBG, both games were fantastic in audio queues.
Yeah, I haven't used it for my phone yet.
FLACs sound gorgeous out of this thing.
And, Spotify sounds about the same as Motherboard audio
I didn't expect major improvements there.
interesting
i remember watching z's review on dt880s 600ohm saying they require a lott of power
It uses the same DAC as the Apple USB-C/Lightning to 3.5mm dongle. But it has some extra circuitry to work properly with Android devices.
And I think it has an extra decoder chip too
If you only are using Apple Devices or a PC, then the Apple USB-C dongle is the cheaper way to go.
But, if you want a more flexible device, the Meizu Dongle will work with more things.
I wonder if it will work with my Switch...
That'd be an interesting test.
It's the best DAC you can buy until you hit the ~200 dollar range where a Schiit Stack or Atom Stack will beat it.
Lol Spotify
a lotta ppl say topping has the best dac but their amps are blowing up lmao
atleast their 30 series is
people underestimate how powerful the apple and meizu dongles can output
meizu outputs more power than apple dongle and apple dongle can drive Audeze's lmao but in compromise of dynamics
i plan on turning my current phone into a musicplayer after i upgrade everything
dunno if ima settling with a meizu dongle or aim for a btr5 or ifi hip dac
the problem with mobile dac/amps like the Hip Dac or a BT Receiver is that its not anymore portable than a regular dongle dac
if you with the BT receiver route, you'll have two devices you're gonna be carrying around
if u go with Hip Dac youll just have a sandwhich bulging out of your pocket
lile it doesn't make sense
have you seen that new music player thats like the size of an ipod shuffle
and the only reason im even considering the ifi zen dac is bc the bass button lmao
its op
so youre giving it another chance
this is all up to you, but if i were you id get dedicated units
going wireless on the go is so ez tho i dunno if i wanna go back to using a wire but we'll see
like a magni or atom stack
yea i most def getting a separate setup for pc
im either doing schiit stack or a50s and modi
might splurge a bit on the amp jus so i dont have to worry about it, but im aware that the heresy/magni is super capable
if you want bass just get some CALS, if youre chasing for a certain sig change thr cans not the source
i already got bass canons but the xbass buttons jus gives it that extra oomph
its op with rap music
ill probably get a btr5 bc of how convenient it is
Is it okay if I @ ghosty
yes
god are you gonna ask ghosty about whats the best mic or whatever under 300 USD again

hes down bad
No
Not this time
I’m going to ask about the procaster
Because I can’t find jack on trying to get away without having a inline amp
what's better in the long term, buying a motherboard that claims to have a better soundcard or external hardware?
external most def
amp/dac
ah
okay, ill save some cash on the motherboard and invest in audio later down the track
nice, whenever you do jus hit this channel back up for help
thanks
SOMEONE DARE PING ME? jk I don't mind lol, the procaster does require an interface but doesn't require phantom power. also to the other question I think external soundcards are worth depending on the hardware you have, or some interfaces actually have pretty nice headphone outputs like the motu m2
ghosty i think hes asking if something like a scarlett solo can give the procaster enough power
i told him he might need a cloudlifter of some sort but that goes over his budget
some reviewers test the power capability of interface preamps with a sm7b since it's such a quiet mic, you can check some of those out. it also does depend how close you are to the mic ofc, there are some nice ones with quite a bit of power, depends on budget for interface too
thank god they finally responded
wut that
What type of microphone would you guys recommend? Id like to keep it in the 50-80 dollar price range. I was concidering a Blue snowball microphone and also a hyper x solocast. Any recommendations would be great!
solocast and q2u and nice usb options in that price range, solocast for condensor and q2u for dynamic. snowball i'd skip very nasally
i feel the quadcast is a bit meh for the price, lot of options but not great in either polar patterns, the elgato wave 1 and wave 3 are some really nice options around the same price and have some really handy software
ok, so overall in my price range the solocast and q2u are probably the best right
possibly seiren mini by razer, but their software isn't known as being great and its very similar to the solocast, so ya those would be my options for the price
ok, thank you so much!
👍
its a terrible mic in general
qtip
i am using clean towel
guess thats enough?
yes
Usually water and a towel works
ew cherry
no see thats why its funny
ok it legit feels linear
like
unless ur pressing really slow
it feels linear
imagine lubing the legs on a tactile
the keychron keycap is kinda inconsistent in the swedish layout
maybe I should ask them for a alt gr key
btw I notice that the optical switch is little bit different than the gateron switch that I have
like the top and bottom of the + sign does not have bracket
is the optical switch not the gateron rgb?
optical switches are different than ur normal switch
besides the color, they typically all look the same
question so with the procaster I have heard you need a inline preamp is this true? and if so is there any way I cna get around it for cheaper
do you need one? not necessarily as long as your interface can get it to high enough levels. if you feel you need one the best options are either a cloudlifter or a fethead. fethead is the cheaper option at ~70usd
uhh I would be getting a focusrite scralett solo 3rd gen
for my amp
so I have no idea if I would need a inline amp
the solo should be able to get it around good levels at about 90-100% gain checking the sensitivities of it. this is also ofc if you are relatively close to the mic (3-5in) which you should be
tho there may be a bit more noise driving the preamps so high
like what type of noise?
noise I could hear or something
or what I mean is noise that is super loud and annoying like old trashy case fans or something
line noise, you can see something of what it would be like here: timestamp 4:32 for noise test and 5:37 for dynamic mic test(similar sensitivity to procaster) also the 2i2 and solo have the same preamps iirc https://youtu.be/b7wwjHnT6WE?t=273
Today we’re looking at the new Focusrite 2i2 (3rd Gen) USB Audio Interface. If you’re looking for an interface for your home studio and you’re on a budget, this is one of the best options for you. I do spoken word tests, noise floor tests, latency tests, and guitar tests, and it passes with flying colors on all tests
Buy the Scarlett 2i2 (3rd G...
scarlett series handles line noise p good
i forgot which, i think presonus's budget option had really bad line noise
ye it is a bit low, there i think it measured around -80dB ish, there is also chance of noise coming from cable or mic and if a chatting platform such as discord boosting it which in some cases is able to turn off
how do u measure how good a headset
this is me turning my gain from 0 to 100 with no mic, at max and my headphone volume a little louder than normal i can start to hear the static https://i.imgur.com/LAZCHWK.gif
do I just get both and see what happens and if I need a inline preamp I buy it ?
sure, get em and see if it meets your needs before dropping money in an activator as they are not cheap
hello mic man @west hornet
need a rec on a cardioid dynamic that doesnt need alot of proximity effect
i was thinking shotgun?
i want to ditch my um2 setup, what i have right now is a struggle XLR setup
you getting a new interface?
See, I'm skipping interfaces for my next mic. I'm just gonna get the Shure MV7.
jus for convenience ?
Which, can be fixed with a pop filter or deadcat
yup
Some people said it was a bit quiet, but that can also be fixed in-post.
were they testing via usb or
¯_(ツ)_/¯
hmmm shotgun interesting, i was thinking about it long time ago, pricing seems a bit weird. I was looking at the AT875R, the rode videomic isn't bad and rode videomicro is cheapest
I think one person said "USB and XLR mode are effectively the same"
Which, isn't entirely true because Shure made software for the USB mode.
It looks like they basically made "RTX Voice" but baked it into the mic.
with the m7v i actually heard that it performed a bit better with usb than xlr
no, i want to ditch XLR all together. im not a power user of my microphone
trying to get rid the interface on my desk mainly to make room for a Valhalla 2

Just know that the MV7 is a HEAVY mic
So, if you have a cheap boom arm, you might need an upgrade.
yes i will buy 250 dollar mv7 just for zoom classes value proposition is insane
...
lotta good alternatives to the mv7
Why do you have an XLR mic in the first place?!?
Just buy a Modmic Uni at that point ya dingus
bc i cash checks like that mf
shotgun may not be the best, the nice ones can get very expensive very fast
also going back to inline headset mic from desktop is a huge downgrade loo
im not trying to be a meme
Using Mic for Zoom Calls
Isn't willing to just use a Modmic Uni
🤔

ill open up to a woman before i use inline headset mic
🤔
I'll bet my Modmic Uni sounds the same or better than the Samson Go
even if it does i dont wanna cosplay Linus meme
You aren't?
Oh, right you have 6XX's, which would be similar, but not the same.
I have UR40's, so I look entirely different.
yes become linus meme
everyone on zoom just use crappy laptop and phone mics anyway xD
that 50 interface you linked a while ago is p tempting
ditch interface, more room for headphone amps 
slightly better than um2 but regardless its nice to see more competition in that price
interface can be nice, i use for mic and monitoring a lot, eventually might get some balanced speakers to go with it
so should i get Tyler1 headset or Souljaboy headset
idk who soul is so tyler best headset
i need to compete with my fellow Zoom classmates
wait holdup... youre telling me
you do not know Souljaboy
people ask me questions with headphone and mic boom arm xD everyone uses airpods
nope
a rapper it looks like?
most requested tutorial ever
Background song: Грибы- Тает лёд
im gonna use exactly this preset
i time coded it for u
yikes
ok all memes aside
whats a good 60% keyboard i need like 2 options
why do you need 2 options
and what's your budget
and what do you "need" in a keyboard
like around 40 dollars
they only keyboard I can think of that is aroudn that budget is the keychron C1 with white backlight
but thats 45 USD and doesnt include shipping
which is expensive
what you think about the rk 61
was about to recommend that
is it better than the keychron
I'd say keychron is better quality
but if you have an extreme budget and can't afford a keychron
oh thanks
I can say from personal experience (and so can mr1111) that keychrons are pretty nice for what you're buying
they come with prelubed stabs, decent backlighting, cheap hotswap options
basically prelubed and clipped stabs just make it so like keys like your space and shift key
sound and feel alot better
ok thanks for the help
the forbidden cotton candy looks tasty
What the
ikr, and yet a 3070 has 8
@swift lantern The 3060 may have 12 gigs, but it has a smaller memory bus meaning it loses much of its advantage due to reduced bandwidth.They are saying it'll be somewhere between a 2060 and 2070 with better ray tracing, so not something that'll ruin the 60 70 80 ranking system of superiority
large amount =/= better performance
bababooey
Well, RocketJumpNinja just unveiled his new mouse. It's being made by xtrify and MSRP is 80 bucks.
The shape is WEIRD
I'm sure with enough AHK scripts I could do the same thing.
ep84 or k6
or just 1 ahk script

marketing useless feature that anyone can do in under 10 mins
In other news, Meizu Dongle and Koss UR40s are an amazing gaming audio solution.
Lucky you.
for super budget check k61, eppomaker or rk855
ITS VERY USEFUL
If it has a narrower bus then why even give it 12gb
Like whyyyy
Like who is the card for? The budding 3d artist?
are you getting a 3060?
If it was like, a logical card to get I would've thought about it
But for gaming the bus width is more important, and thus making the 3070 seem more viable
3060ti is basically a 3070
Bus width
The extra vram won't make a difference for games
Notice how they didn't even have the 3080 with 11
Cuz the clock speeds and bus width are more important for fps
gl on getting a 3070
glad i accidentally secured one at launch
I'm upgrading GPU in like, 6 months hopefully.
I just need the 3060Ti to get back in stock.
i still lowkey want a 3080
if i get that then i wont have to worry about upgrading for like forever
trinity tkl xt lookin nice
@tight pulsar are those macro keys on the left..?
suddenly i want motorized desk controls on-keyboard
yeah or whatever u remap it to
wkl too
Most Logitech cams, Razer's Kiyo, uhh... That's about it.
Outside of getting a real video camera and using that.
I mean, a Panasonic Lumix G7 is only 600 bucks.
That's pretty cheap.
For a camera.
But, if you just want a simple USB Webcam, get a Razer Kiyo or Logitech C922.
LOL
poor
i'll build one
You can't...
wyh not
That's not how this works...
🤦
You can't just build a webcam...
If you have a reasonably modern smartphone (android or iOS, doesn't matter) you can use that as a webcam.
nah
But, 30 dollars isn't going to get you a webcam.
my phone gonna explode

Yeah... That's gonna have a higher likelyhood of blowing up than your phone.
They say it's 1080p, but I will bet you that it's 240p at best, if not 144p
You clearly don't understand the reason brand names exist.
They make a quality product, and that quality commands a price.
I've literally never heard of "Wansview" which is probably some chinese company making these little 240p cameras, selling them as 1080p and you can't legally challenge them for it because China.
Those Wansview cameras actually work well
I use their IP cameras at my house
They've been around for quite a whlie TBH
I wouldn't trust it IMO. Save your money up for a Logitech webcam.
You can choose not to trust it, doesn't mean it's bad
25 bucks for a "1080p" webcam smells stupid fishy
When major companies are selling real 1080p webcams for 60 to 100 bucks
Wansview, Foscam, many others are all the same
Yes, and they overcharge a good portion of the time.
yes you can
Because they are a brand name, that people trust, and they have real warranty service.
So does Wansview and Foscam
Riiiiight
matter of fact, last time I had an issue they just shipped a whole new camera
Been using both of them for YEARS
todays episode: skip discovers markup based on brand name
^^^
Eh, no. I know that exists.
doubt
the actual parts to make a webcam are like $10 wholesale
probably much less tbh
but yeah
not unreasonable to see some listed for $20

Got my wife a Foscam 1080p Webcam for $25. It's honestly fantastic
But, I still severely doubt that little Wansview camera is going to beat or meet my Logitech C615
You would be surprised
skip is pushing so hard to buy name brand 
I mean, I bought Koss recently.
skip logi employee confirmed
I didn't expect the Koss UR40's to punch as good as they do.
the way i see it
Koss is good tho
a lot of small brands HAVE to make good stuff
because theyre fighting brand recognition
^6
But, I already own a Webcam, and unless it has some kind of super good software, or it just punches far above it's class, I wouldn't trust the Foscam or Wansview camera.
you can use irium to use your phone as a webcame
webcam*
my phone go boom
I doubt.
ya me too
What phone do you have?
Why?
cause i can
irium is op, its free and depending on your phone, its gonna look better than most webcams
The S21 isn't even OUT yet.
Like I said, you can not trust something but that doesn't make it bad
so on PAPER is it better than the s20 and by how much
exactly
i do that all time
skip is just consumed by capitalism
if you have a s20, you can prob skip it
and you're sucking them off
i dont lmao but what you got rn?
If someone gave me one of those webcams, I'd at least use it and try it before saying "Ok, yeah definitively it's crap"
eh
And, Razer's webcam is, legitimately good.
im a poor college student
same

It's a spotlight and a webcam.

Then just use your phone ya dingus.
My next major purchase will be Model O Wireless
i dont wanna use my phoneee
dont feel like it
this for zoom ?
RJN mouse shape looks promising
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
ya
is it bc youre using your phone during class
no
yes
lol
just dont wanna use my phone
God bless america, you just want a Zoom camera, and you don't want to use your phone when it is FREE
What kind of broke college student are you?
not that broke lmao
im sure any 50dollar webcam on amazon will do
my thoughts exactly
Your phone's camera is likely like, 200% better than the little CMOS sensor the 25 dollar one has.
THEN USE IT...
but idc ab quality
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
nah
They want to be on their phone while on zoom smh
^^^
only thing i would check on the amazon stuff is fov
bad students
dunno if you want ur cam showing everything
if you dont care about quality why not just buy literally the cheapest product
ehh
its up to you to decide that
Or just... pay literally nothing
i dont wanna be that cheap
depends on how much you want to show
they gonna be like
And use a device you already have.
this mf broke

I honestly kinda want to try my phone as a webcam.
thank god none of my teachers ask me to turn on webcam
otherwise i would have to buy one
god thats depressing
i need someone to be the poor mans hero and give me a great recommendation on a cheap webcam
thats why i asked
I already did it though.
im trolling at this point 
i cackled
i never looked at someones webcam and thought, man this dude is broke asf
so why are you asking us for help
unless you manage to get a cam with 8bit quality


just didnt expect such a brain dead response
you sound
imagine having a green name
really dumb
LMAO
exactly
jkjk
LMAOI KNOW RIGHT
green is nastyy
3 emojis
you fiends 
really testing the limit
bleu
i know
imagine wasting peoples time just so your name could change colors
On one hand i could see you dumb enough yo do that
no one said you had to respond
on the other hand i feel like thats just a lie to hide your previous responses
just didnt expect skips response as to buy just based off brand alone
literally so brain dead
are you really too scared and socially awkward to literally talk in general

green gang
do you really have nothing better to do
then spend time in a tech server
facts tho
crying about your rank

i cant fathom how you're still responding when its "such a waste of time" @queen sigil 
you're down so bad
leyo dont even respond
you're still typing
I cant fatham how little cares about you give
stop
about what actually matters
block and move on
god i feel like im talking to cholax again

Sorry, I shouldn't assume anything when talking to someone like you

So, today I learned that CD's actually contain lossless audio if they are from a factory.
Well, I should say a pre-recorded CD contains lossless audio.
So, you can actually rip CD's as FLAC format.
Instead of what most dum dums to and rip them as MP3
Losing some of the quality.
Nooo, one of my CD's is hitting read errors and sync errors...
We will have to see how good Exact Audio Copy's error correction is.

wait what
what keycaps for winkeys and fn
its a layer key
cause my arrows are on {:”? so its easy to use those and the shift for arrows
how would left and right arrow keys look on fn and winkey lol
lol the winkeys are r5 and the rest is f4
just an aethetic thing
yeah and its kinda easier to use cause i have ctrl mapped there
for cherry r0 is the function row (usually just r1) and r5 is bottom row (also usually just r4)
is it different between keyboards
gmk carbon is the only set with r0 and r5 afaik
because i swear ive seen someone consider spacebar r1
spacebar is a different profile than the rest
but no its the same across all keyboards if its the same rows the typing angle could be different tho
or i mean just like bottom row as r1
for cherry usually not with gmk but some profiles like jtk have r1 at the bottom
ok

some people are almost as good as renders already
Gentlemen we will not stop until it is reality
both of these are photos

His photos are actually crazy good
i got the soul byrd and it has so much bass 😦
is that a good thing
idk its definitely more than the shure se215 and i notice it a lot
I'll have to use it more and see how my ear adjust to it, since ive been using the shure se215 mainly
topping making big moves
Bro if you were in their shoes you'd do the same thing
They're probably also sustained by like an entire 3,000 people
no problems with their a50 and d90 tho right
Schiit zapped some headphones with their Lyr 3 and they paid for the damages, cant see why Topping cant do the same
no just the L30
maybe they're scared of being scammed
or by their estimates they don't have the money to pay for all damages
idk
yea partial would be nice
huge loss of money but less of a loss than no one buying their products ever again

Well. folks. I'll be silent in this thread for a bit. My Lyr 3 let the magic smoke out yesterday and is on its way across the rainbow bridge to Schiit's capable service department. Keeping my fingers crossed for a quick turn-around and a Jason autographed bottom plate for the trouble. :wink...
lyr 3 zapped this dude's Focal Clears and Schitt let him borrow some Utopias lol
Sounds like the guy is lying about the topping part killing his stuff cause an amp can't kill headphones unless it supplies enough power to tear the actual diaghram
Which it wouldn't be able to do for a focal clear
You would need a speaker amp
Like it no matter what couldn't supply enough power to do that
And even if they shoved it full of metal shavings and the external psu directly bridged to the jack it would just do noting and move 15v 1a dc to ground
The headphone would only act as a wire to ground and not break
So I can't blame topping for saying they aren't gonna cover a scientific imposibility
Otherwise everyone who breaks their headphone doing some dumb mod would just call them and blame this amps
"I hit my headphone with an axe and I think your amp may have killed it so gimme a new one"
Lol
Not that I got that across here's some resources for people and also reasons not to buy a modi or magni
Here are some headphone fr graphs that aren't flattened too for anyone interested
whyd u delete that @tacit wing
it had a bad word on it lol
i dont wanna get Cholax'd
Cholax did a lot more than bad word, we don't bite. 😉
anyway what i found was that hes slightly biased (or really or not depending on who u ask) but hes a nice guy whos smart and has nice equipment
naw the point is that some amps measures better than others but that shouldnt be the only factor if youre looking to buy an amp
the reason why the Magni is so popular is because its packs ALOT of juice for the price, not because of how it measures
and also like Kyle said, the distortion measures all beyond the "threshold of hearing"
Magni 3+ outputs more power than this behemoth of a thing LMFAO https://www.moon-audio.com/bryston-bha-1-balanced-headphone-amplifier.html
is that a new product?
lmao heres a friends custom hall effect at 32/255 rgb strength and then at full brightness
@brisk parcel you might wanna see this lol

Hey i always see audiophiles in here. anyone willing to help me pick a new headset?
I've had a pair of dt990 pro's for a little over two years but theyre starting to go. I'm considering either just getting another pair or maybe switching it up. it was my first pair of "high quality" headsets (more than like an integrated mic gaming headset). I love the over ear, open back(i only use them in my apartment thats just me), i definitely want wired. I'm comfortable up to around $350 ish. I have a dac/amp. I use them for long periods at a time so i did enjoy the non leather cups. I use for music, gaming, everything.
Stuff i've seen recommended is like Sennheiser HD 600, ATH-M50x, just rebuy dt990,
i suggest switching it up a bit and try 880's coming from 990's
any particular reason?
youd still get that classic Beyer treble peaks but not as offensive
thank you for your input
also how do i know what consitutes a "good" amp
like as long as it sounds fine and i'm getting the volume i want
or does quality matter a lot
as long as it can adequately drive your gear i mean youre good
is considered a good amp
Apple dongle
@timber ridge MY EYES 😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰❤️😘😍❤️🥰❤️🥰🥺🥺
Did they call objective measurements bias lmao
I think rulers are biased against shirt people
Also not the case except when getting to the 789 range and beyond
@tight pulsar sorry for ghost pings they’re from me 🥺 I said “my soul 🥺🥺❤️😘😊🥰❤️😊😇☺️🙂😊” but with a lot more emojis
And the magni also is slow and has terrible compression
On top of the distortion being in an audible range and a good bit worse than other similarly priced amps in all those categories
The speed in slew rate and bandwidth along with distortion being low and ability to drive your gear without maxing the amp or putting it to a higher distortion volume point
Reason: Bad word usage
No, the 400i is about the same price but more detailed, better bass extension, imaging on par with the 990, sound stage of the 880, and not as painful in the highs.
@kindred cape
just lost a stupid amount of respect for mech groupbuys and their discord
did you mean the Hifiman HE400i
becaus ei have a bunch of questions then. the website calls them $450 but they're $170 on amazon?
also these are 32 ohm instead of 600 so i probable dont need an amp (what about dac)?
why
we got into an arguement about God and stuff and the dude was just dunking on me the whole time disrespecting me and stuff and I got muted not him
just abit upset
something u should respect even if you arent religious
some dude said like "Thank God" or something and someone said "i would if there was one"
and it spiraled down from there
damn sounds like tensions are tight
im not really trying to bring it back up
seems people online dont seem to really care
dw, we can't bring up religion even if we wanted to
well we could

ah, this is a classic
lmao r u in the discord
no not really, imagine overreacting to someone just saying Thank God lmao
like bruh its not that serious
yeah
wonder how kuzu would react if i said Thank 6xx
@tight pulsar you said if u want something pinned to ping u so if I make a switch flow chart thing will u pin it
seee thats not the best idea
since alot of switches are gb or whatever
and there arent like
any keyboard people in this server
and not many people have come in looking into building one
a prebuilt keyboard flow chart would be better
see alot on here whats best keyboard under X amount of dollars
what do you call the type of clip you'd use for something you wanna put on your pocket
is there a name for it
y'know the type of clip this thing has
Pocket clip
Old 400i isn't the same as the 2020 400i which is $169
Ohms have nothing to do with power
And you don't buy an amp or dac because power but instead because detail in 99% of situations
2020 is the better 400i option
I thought ohms would affect power? Because ohms are the electrical resistance.
If we were making a basic non moving circuit yes but the sound produced is barely effected by that and instead buy factors like the air resistance in moving the driver, the weight of the diagram and the voice coil, the opposing pressure waves, the bending and pull of the diaghram, etc
This is why planars are generally some of the hardest headsets to power but they rarely go over 40 ohms
More ohms just means you have more of a dampening factor so with the same design you would get less distortion
(not meaning a headphone with more ohms automatically means less distortion if other factors aren't the same across headphones)
I’m not sure if that’s how electricity works.
me planars 47ohm 98db/mw and I can get them to 85% on me smartphone
It is... The electrical resistance is not the only form of resistance on the end act of moving the driver and it's actually one of the smaller factors...
The sensitivity is how much power you need per given volume
Does the air resistance increase the amount of ohms?
No...
Because it isn't electrical resistance
It is mechanical resistance (where almost 100% of your power is lost and goes)
The mechanical resistance technically is the only reason why there are ohms.
Im ignoring trace and wire resistance for this statement though.
hey does anyone know the difference between normal/gaming headsets and console headsets?
most gb switches are just recolored like jwks lol
yeah maybe a prebuilt flowchart
Ok on the 400i vs 2020, still also looking hd600. And for the amp stuff I'm just gonna assume my old $90 monoprice dac/amp will still be good unless I can't get volume
