I don't know what kind of audio quality Discord allows, I think you only get high quality if you server boost which I don't. As for video calls, the ability if the mic to make my voice nice a clear while not picking up background noise like hard drives or my laptop fan is nice. There are a lot of people in calls who have really sub par mics.

While I'd really suggest getting an amp if you get the HD6xx, it's possible to drive them off even a cell phone. However for my cell phone I have to nearly max the volume to get my preferred level while indoors where it's already fairly quiet.

2020-12-11 19:26:18 UTC  

ah yeah

2020-12-11 19:26:35 UTC  

I'm thinking of getting a DAC for my PC too

2020-12-11 19:26:54 UTC  

"thinking"

2020-12-11 19:26:56 UTC  

lol

2020-12-11 19:27:44 UTC  

I got a DAC and AMP from shitt audio. Not the cheapest dac and amps but they are quality with lots of headroom if I get headphones that are harder to drive.

2020-12-11 19:28:40 UTC  

I've heard decent stuff about them too, but hate the name 😂

2020-12-11 19:29:36 UTC  

If it matters, they don't have the company name on them where people would see unless you look at the back.

2020-12-11 19:30:33 UTC  

yeah then people be like "what DAC do ya got?" and I'd be like "uhm... well.. you see.. uh" 😂

2020-12-11 19:31:30 UTC  

Just say it's the Modi 3+

2020-12-11 19:32:34 UTC  

If you Google "Modi 3+ dac" it's the first result.

2020-12-11 19:32:36 UTC  

So how do those things work

2020-12-11 19:32:44 UTC  

I’ve been curious

2020-12-11 19:32:49 UTC  

What part?

2020-12-11 19:32:55 UTC  

The box thingy

2020-12-11 19:34:44 UTC  

The bottom box is the DAC. It connects to my computer over USB. It then creates an unamplified analog single I bring into the AMP which is the top box with RCA cables. The AMP then takes the unamplified analog signal and amplifies it enough to drive headphones or speakers.

2020-12-11 19:36:42 UTC  

The DAC also accepts SPDIF and the orange digital rca looking connection you see on some TVs besides just USB if that's your thing.

2020-12-11 20:05:29 UTC  

yep i understand that, cool

2020-12-12 00:17:30 UTC

Looking for an electric engineer

2020-12-12 04:02:34 UTC  

What do y'all think of breaking in headphones

2020-12-12 04:09:44 UTC  

Wanting to discuss a low RPM stator for my water wheel.

2020-12-12 14:18:19 UTC  

Anyone know of any tricks to untangle headphone chords

2020-12-12 15:02:12 UTC  

I usually unplug it. Then lift the end off the ground so it can spin freely, and unravel itself. Idk if it would work for you but it might

2020-12-12 15:23:30 UTC  

Alright thank you

2020-12-12 16:35:46 UTC  

did work? xD

2020-12-12 23:14:07 UTC  

The dumbest thing I ever told myself was that I wouldn't need a portable power pack today

2020-12-13 01:25:25 UTC  

Dumbest thing I ever told myself is after I bought my gaming rig I wouldn’t waste any more money. $900 spent on peripherals and small upgrades later... ($900 after I get my new monitors)

2020-12-13 04:14:49 UTC  

Good enough that my chord isn’t suspended in the air at mouth level

2020-12-13 04:15:02 UTC  

haha ok that's good

2020-12-13 11:03:48 UTC  

man I built my PC good a few years back and really haven't done anything for it since

2020-12-13 11:04:41 UTC  

it's pretty trashed due to the fact I was forced to live with cats and they of course had to piss all up into the vents, causing all the steel to get nice and ruined

2020-12-13 11:05:10 UTC  

plus me slamming a screwdriver into the board a bunch, and general hacks to fix other issues caused by me and wear & tear

2020-12-13 11:06:10 UTC  

latest upgrade for me was switching out the 3gb 1060 for a 8gb RX 570 because the 1060 was pretty much broke
