what is there that has XLR input w/ phanton power and also headphone out

most audio interfaces

^

let me rephrase

tbh audio interface dacs often arent the best

what is there that has XLR input w/ phanton power and also headphone out *that is currently memed to fuck*

any if the scarlets

rip eng

scarlett is memed to fuck

audio interfaces are usually USB based and there's no room to power headphones

there's no model serial anywhere

just get a DIY o2

so most people need both an audio interface and a headphone amp

or those DIY chink amps

I use a focusrite solo, it was a big step up for me

i've used one of those

breddy nice

but more that my old interface had constant monitoring on and it wouldn't turn off so peopel would hear themselves echo on chat

yeah it's nice

I'm mostly in the market for new speakers

after that I'm happy with my set-up

surely there is a chink equivalent at 1/3 the price

probably

used focusrite 1st gen is cheap

but it'd be a blind buy

and yeah used is often nearly as cheap

good point

mine was used but it has no signs of imperfection at all

@Deleted User Is the DAC on the scarlett tolerable? let's say I wanted to hook it up to a magni 2

it sounds better than my in-built yeah

you'd be beter off buying a sabre DAC @transience

I have realtek inside my motherboard

theyre like 44 usd

alright I'mma go for now

see you all later or something

I'm not a huge audio autism guy, I think I just got that rep from the BM video

and I only went hard on that because I owned a bm-800 before and threw it in the bin thinking it was broken
