Does Aliexpress have any good external soundcards

2019-05-06 15:56:34 UTC  

not really

2019-05-06 15:56:39 UTC  

they're kinda a gamble

2019-05-06 15:56:55 UTC  

don't think so 🤔
i know nothing about amplifiers or dacs that are good tbh

2019-05-06 15:57:02 UTC  

i know funny tube amps for like 30 dollars

2019-05-06 15:57:04 UTC  

that are usually fake

2019-05-06 15:57:16 UTC  

Here's the first thing you should know about DACs

2019-05-06 15:57:21 UTC  

They're memes

2019-05-06 15:57:35 UTC  

yes
beaucoup dacs are memes

2019-05-06 15:57:45 UTC  

unless you have ground noise issues in your computer or something of the like

2019-05-06 15:58:09 UTC  

Your computer/phone does just fine 99.9999% of the time, and no, you really can't "hear the difference"

2019-05-06 15:58:14 UTC  

but /hpg/ told me they improve the sound

2019-05-06 15:58:21 UTC  

/hpg/ is fucking stupid

2019-05-06 15:58:29 UTC  

/hpg/ has a lot of shitposts

2019-05-06 15:58:45 UTC  

amps are much more important if you really care about headphones and high end speakers and such

2019-05-06 15:59:13 UTC  

Dear, please buy $75 clarifying crystals for your audio cables, and marble stands to keep them off the ground<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

2019-05-06 15:59:17 UTC  

you will usually buy something like a Fiio and that'll be the end of it

2019-05-06 15:59:27 UTC  

and for the most part you probably won't need an amp unless you have speakers or if the thing you're listening is known to need an amplifier

i bought a Fostex for a specific use case (having powered monitors) + an okay headphone amp

2019-05-06 15:59:43 UTC

2019-05-06 15:59:46 UTC

2019-05-06 16:00:15 UTC  

True

2019-05-06 16:00:17 UTC  

I bought them years ago because hpg told me to

2019-05-06 16:00:27 UTC

2019-05-06 16:00:39 UTC  

Yes, because he was told to. 😏
