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

that's

bizarre

kz zs5 is nice

well memed

i cum

windatica how much better than zst?

@Raggle Fraggle if you use a USB sound card like Podcastage is it gives good sound quality

good enough for casual gaming commentaries

i don't own zst, i have zs3, fonge s500, fonge t01, ate, eiaosi x6, monk and rock zirc0ns

@Goa do you have optical or coax out or usb only

zs3 are trash doe

usb

@Kaytee usb

well shit, was gonna say this is a thing https://www.amazon.com/D03K-Digital-Analog-Audio-Converter/dp/B009346RSS/

shame

got any chip names i could search dac boards on aliexpress by?

pcm2704

avoid anything with bass boost

it has that feature but you of course dont want that on

got it thanks

imma do all my boosting by software anyway

you already has that though

pcm2704

right but theirs is broken

as far as audio goes you really can't upgrade from decent 16/44.1 with dither, shit you won't even find any content that takes full advantage of that

you're paying for bragging rights and/or a pretty box if you upgrade from that tier

spend the extra money on amp and headphone

i was under the impression that a better dac chip simply does its thing more precise than this crap i got now

and not too much extra on the amp at that, $150 will have you good for anything but like a gotdamn electret or plasma headphone

"more precise" is irrelevant to the human ear past 16/44.1

yeah and i dont care past those

and again you don't even find any music or movies with a dynamic range that fills 16 bits, and FR beyond 22khz is inaudible to even the theoretical ideal golden ear
