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

"thinking"

lol

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.

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

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

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

Just say it's the Modi 3+

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

So how do those things work

I’ve been curious

What part?

The box thingy

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.

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.

yep i understand that, cool

I need somebody good with windows and computers in general to help me download and open some files. Please tag me if you can help me and we can hop in a VC

Looking for an electric engineer

What do y'all think of breaking in headphones

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

Anyone know of any tricks to untangle headphone chords

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

Alright thank you

did work? xD

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

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)

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

haha ok that's good

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

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

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

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

I was dumb when I was 15 ngl

My collection

I have 22 others im selling. But this is my keep pile lol

My gaming computer

Just added 64gb of ram. Xeon 2687w v3 with a radeon vii

Oh cool, I like thinkpads

It’s kind of sad that the x600 is so outdated by today’s standards, because that was always my favourite

Im selling one on ebay right now. It unfortunately has a bios lock

Does that prevent you from flashing it?
