X-Fi Go has 10-20 Ohm OI

2018-06-29 02:38:14 UTC  

For the same price you could buy an SMSL Idea.

2018-06-29 02:38:35 UTC  

til oi is the only quality worth looking for in a dac

2018-06-29 02:38:53 UTC  

There's more, but having high OI is a pain in the dick.

2018-06-29 02:39:05 UTC  

Can't drive sensitive earphones worth shit.

2018-06-29 02:39:25 UTC  

its not the end-be-all like you're trying to paint it as

2018-06-29 02:39:53 UTC  

I mean, there's better build quality on a Trond AC2 than there is in an X-Fi Go.

2018-06-29 02:40:16 UTC  

Ahhh

2018-06-29 02:40:39 UTC  

X-Fi Go is made out of the same chinky plastic you find on a $3 sound card.

2018-06-29 02:40:47 UTC  

And costs close to $60 in Canada.

>buying "better" sound cards instead of improving front or back end audio

2018-06-29 02:56:14 UTC  

tip rolling, tube rolling, dac rolling

2018-06-29 03:35:06 UTC  

autists

2018-06-29 03:51:32 UTC  

might just get m40x

2018-06-29 03:52:55 UTC  

dont

2018-06-29 04:00:02 UTC  

why

2018-06-29 04:00:07 UTC  

its 110 aud rn

2018-06-29 04:00:12 UTC  

whats better then

2018-06-29 04:00:33 UTC  

stock pads on m40x and m50x suck ass and arent comfy at all

2018-06-29 04:00:43 UTC  

and swapping them to anything thicker basically makes the headphone sound even worse

2018-06-29 04:02:04 UTC  

but at 110 aud what is better the takstars?

2018-06-29 04:02:37 UTC  

which takstars

2018-06-29 04:04:49 UTC  

takstar 82

2018-06-29 04:04:55 UTC  

but whats an alternative to m40x

2018-06-29 04:05:04 UTC  

do you need isolation?

2018-06-29 04:05:07 UTC  

no

2018-06-29 04:05:21 UTC

2018-06-29 04:05:31 UTC

2018-06-29 04:05:44 UTC

2018-06-29 04:06:14 UTC  

ok

2018-06-29 04:06:58 UTC  

why do the m40x get raving reviews then

2018-06-29 04:07:03 UTC  

people just dont know better?

2018-06-29 04:07:13 UTC

2018-06-29 04:07:25 UTC  

all the reddit normies jumped on it

2018-06-29 04:07:38 UTC  

theyre not terrible sounding but theyre really not comfy

2018-06-29 04:07:51 UTC  

m50x/m40x both have some of the uncomfiest stock pads ive ever used

2018-06-29 04:08:26 UTC  

my issue with both of them in terms of sound is the really fatiguing and harsh midrange/treble and the awful compression

2018-06-29 04:10:43 UTC  

ah ok

2018-06-29 04:11:43 UTC  

i have these
