so back to my chink amps

i get to make 50 bux too because i used coupon, and when they refund you for couponed discount, they refund u full amount

ive done this so many times.. not deiberately

wtf

how do you get so many coupons

i know

they are so dumb

this was 10% off sitewide sale

i like to buy shit on sitewide sales

i dont buy large enough "batches" at once lol

btw if youre doing digital volume control you probably want to find a card that does 24 bit depth

yeah, that's the one i was thinking of

especially if using more sensitive iems/cans

i see

a cheapo es9023 would do in that case

though honestly you probably wont be able to tell without a/b -ing with a reference

just didn't want to drive up the price too much

about double the zhilai

hmm

just get the zhilai if you dont wanna spend more

you probably wouldnt hear the difference

i've already ordered the usb dac

the pcm2704

oh so you just need the case?

yeah

just to put it in

sorry if i'm doing a poor job of explaining what i actually mean

probably cheapest to just find a mint tin and drill some holes lol

lel

fair enough

thatd be cool

a conversation starter if you use it in public 😉
