$8 AUD i think

lower noise floor than a DFB as well kek

taped on the back of your phone?

velcro

I think he's more interested in why

Not how

^

oh

isnt that a bit bulky

phone output broke

eh

i dont find it annoying

and i can use it as a stand for my phone if i want

I thought he was joking about the phone thing

well the velcro alleviates the pocket issue

i might make a new enclosure and add a potentiometer

I found a toslink DAC on aliexpress, someone said it uses a CS4344 https://www.cirrus.com/products/cs4344-45-48/

I have another question

chip doesnt mean a whole lot

its the implimentation

I see, like cheap components and what not?

for example ESS9018 chips can sound like hot garbage or sound great

eh

just actual electrical design

low cost components just change the accuracy

and reliability

tho cheap transformers can have issues

link me the dac on ali

I linked to an stereo DAC, what happens to the extra channels? do they get mixed together?

where to get the Yeelight lamp? any Xiaomeme sales?

what do you mean extra channels?

5.1, 7.1

you need a different dac for that

only useful for HTPC stuff anyway

no but I want stereo

I can't exactly articulate my question

you mean virtual surround?

yes

thats just software or a different proccesor all together

but what I meant is do the DACs just throw away the extra channels or is it all muxed into stereo

channel mixing is handled by your OS
