I use bitstreaming to my amp now

My current one just uses my current drivers with cleaner signal

so soundcards wont make a difference to me, all my audio out of my computer is digital

My interface is good because it has rca out

So I can make it all analog out

neat

If I want

That's basic I guess

im happy with the DAC in my amp

shit, looks like i need to research. completely lost.

DAC - Digital to analog converter

Yeah

You need some kind of converter

Because old speakers are analog

So usb out to a dac or interface

Or sound card into motherboard

Then wire to amp

Or dac/amp combo

Then to thrift shop speakers

People don't make the connection that you can use hifi speaker on PC

if you don't know what to buy first then just get the cheapest working bookshelf speakers you can, cheapest working amp you can, and a 3.5mm to RCA cable to plug into the jack on your mobo

Yeah

then when you can get either a new soundcard or external DAC, or new amp with digital inputs (which will have a built in DAC)

An amp and speakers is basic start

And those are C H E A P

and will sound miles better than any trash you will buy in your local tech store at 20x the price

ok maybe not 20x but you get the idea

Hifi shit is built for good sound, gaymur pc speakers are built to rip you off

Gf got some seriously cool shit at car boot sale

holy fuck

There was a house clearance for an old scientist

who died

so she got a bunch of old chemistry sets, soil testers

you've peaked my curiosity, unfortunately there arent any car boot sales near me

microscopes

that sounds interesting

Brand of microscopes?

Prinz microscope

Never heard of it but hope it's nice

it has an exploded battery inside it, she's trying to fix it

If you ever find anything branded Leica, Leitz, Schneider or Zeiss - buy and sell

comfy

how is that space man nightlight?

I've seen it a few times and I'm always tempted

Unless it's Zeiss Jena (east German)

anybody any idea what this is? was in with the soil testing apparatus?

@Mollins I haven't tried it since it's a gift

@s3bbe guy with the scanner responded

he said he'll accept £35 for it

I have no idea if that's a good price

You know more about hammin' than me by now

I looked at a ham review site

it's legendary for having easy mods

and really well regarded

I found a list of software mods

@Mollins I gave it to gf now

it doesn't seem to have an always on switch, you press on with your thumb then it turns off when you release the button

oh wait

Really bright
