cheaper than you could reasonably buy the components for just one finished amp on digikey or whatever
shit those heat sinks would run you like $2 a pop easy if not more
that pot's $2 in quantities of 1
also i'm not sure how assembled it comes, do be aware the tpa6120 is a small surfacemount part
so get your drag soldering tip ready
and it might even come in the QFN package, and if so get your hot air station / reflow oven ready
i do have all that
only a true wizard can hand solder qfn packages
got a solder stencil for 20-pin qfn?
thing's 4mmx4mmx0.5mm, not exactly gonna do that with a spool of solder hot air station or no
need paste and stencil
Would the Behringer UMC22 be a good interface to go with a NW/BM-800? I'm looking into moving away from my gaming headset, but I also don't want to blow the bank, and I hear USB mics can be a pain
hopefully they used the 20SOP version
i have anything i could ever need where i work
that one you can reasonably do with a steady hand and a drag tip
huh
my pc is having a hard time driving these
my phone can do it 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
it's just a pcm2704 reference design in a box, perfectly fine for anything a human can hear
