cable autism still eludes me to this day

even worse, the dac is on main board, using jumper cables to jack

what

To shit on cable shill l

why bother litz cable when the internal uses ribbon cable to transfer the analog signal

I mean ribbon cable not jumpers

I never saw teardowns of ak players tbh

cheap AK's suck anyway

most DAPs suck tbh

the high ends

sony uses weird solder shit in their daps lol

probably gay lead free solder

fuck lead free solder

i hate it

easily broken, yes?

just a pain in the ass to solder

shit temp ranges and doesnt tin to wires as easily

good lead solder is cheap and common, anything else is a waste of money

I know

even with 60/40 I can't solder properly ffs

how lol

poor person solders with pencil solder

pencil solder? wat

those type you plug in into the mains directly

shit

as

oh

fuck

just buy a yihua 936 or 908

nah

y not

theyre worth

got access to hakko shits anyway

ah

k702 internal sucka

managed to snapped the solder somehow

repairing akg's are a pain in the ass

eh

they aeent

just the tendency to snap

you basically solder a new wire on it

but mine's still new and purchased on a retail store so I returned it

If they came back new I'll gotta sell it and buy a k712 instead

what's a select coupon?

can you like combine them?

no clue

Any opinions on akg k550 and k553

+3

dammit, lost my benjie t6

and my ksc75

at least it was cheap headphones and not a SUPER expensive pmp

still thats like almost 100usd including the ksc75 and microsd card

probably just gonna replace it with an s5, it plays flac and takes a 64 gig microsd card, good enough

i never really used the dsd and tbh 24/192 playback is audiophoolery

16/44.1 is already more dynamic range and frequency range than my working adult hearing can deal with, and more than any song i'm aware of will use, so i don't need 24/192 dsd

So the k553s then

havernt used either of those but i'd say save some more and just get some k701 or spend less and get k240 if you want akg

...wait, wow k701 went down, about same price as the 553

def 701 then

Gonna be honest i don't like the colour if they only cone in white.

Also here

I need two pairs of head phones. One for indoor listening around ear closed or semi closed. The other in ear for exercise. Both wired and totalling to ~$300

@Michi K550 MK3 is the same as the K553

but both have issues with seal

you really need to try them in person to see if they seal right

@Kaytee how tf did you lose the benjie?

It vanish

like, while you were out or just at home?

At work

Probably stolen

wow rip

im either considering spending big bucks on a proper good DAP, or just DIYing one outta my old phone

would make me super assblasted if it got stolen

tfw I've stopped wearing my zs5s and started using Piston Hybrid Pros with EQ lots more

i really fucking hope KZ actually used a crossover

KZ just needs to stop fucking around with retarded shit and make a good hybrid with proper damping and crossovers

Yes they do. But I'm guessing this is not it

we'll see

yeah i doubt it will be

Hello guys

You can suggest a good XLR condenser Microphone for 30€?

BM-800

aye I fell for the meme and got a BM-800 recently

not bad at all, though the USB interface that came with mine is fucking garbage

How are the KZ ZS5

@Michi used to be ok, then they nerfed them with a version 2 so the ZS6 looks better.

when will KZ stop reinventing the wheel? acer cucks BTFO, can't even install drivers

i am now thoroughly unimpressed with my rock zircons

what a wild ride
