@Raggle Fraggle anything with 15v-48v phantom power is fine
also behringer is a good brand
from tests we've seen that's all that's necessary to power it without quality drop off
like, it's not super extra pro tier but it's gonna be better than 99% of twitch streamers have as a given
I don't think you even need an audio interface personally if you're only using it for gaming, but that's just me and my experiences
i think it'd be worth it if you're trying to do twitch or youtube, but
honestly, it would mostly be used for chatting on Discord/in-game stuff, and *maybe* some amateur commentaries/goofing off; I just would rather have something of better quality than my HyperX Stinger's headset mic
how much of a maybe is this?
because yeah it's valuable for videos and streams
because you can adjust levels really easily with a spare hand
I figure it's better to be a bit overkill than going full cheapo
i get that
I wouldn't call a phantom power box cheapo, most people balk at that even
my next pc's gonna be a ridiculous quad xeon box with 128GB of ecc ram, because fuck it
aint no kill like overkill
even if i could get by fine on 64GB of ram and just a single higher-end xeon

so @Kaytee lets say we found a good amp board for me, what should i look into for DAC
plus the Blue Yeti that I was also considering not only isn't /csg/ material, but would be a pain to deal with as far as accessories go since it's mostly proprietary shit
but i want something a bit better and with right chanel working
you're making an audio stack not some metrology rig
oh it's broken, uhm
@Raggle Fraggle there's a BM-USB that's okay
if you were considering a Yeti
tbh with the ele dac, if one channel is dead
yeah i lose right channel all the time. and while im at it why not upgrade
first thing i would do is take it apart and look at the trs jack's solder joints
everything looks good i already did all that
the jack isn't secured to anything but the board
this would be fine for basic gayman
and eventually the force of plugging and ubnplugging headphones can crack it
kaytee
only thing that brings it back
is me shorting the caps
and empty to 0
5 tao seconds
then plug it into usb and my headphones in
and i dont want to do that every few hours
