Shipping"

sounds good, what is the store ?

Mine took like 2 months to arrive and it costed more

Then i ordered 2 pairs for my friends and they arrived within 1.5 weeks

thanks

Holy fuck those TRN V20's still haven't arrived.

I received my ugreen sound card, so far it seems good !

Aren't sound cards placebo?

placebo in what way

placebo in that most dacs of sufficient quality are virtually indistinguishable from each other i guess

<:thinkjojo:333980344044879872>

and any "improvement" is actually a perversion of the original recording and hence less "pure" <:tipsfedora:383326576609329162>

Aren't dacs placebo in the first place?

no and no

chances are whatever is baked into your device is mediocre anyway

dacs definitely arent a placebo since without them you couldnt listen to any digital formats other than using weird pwm decoding shit

some poeple like the entirely digital amps on diyaudio

I mean, some days just straight up can't power shit

The dac in my chink phone can barely power zst's ffs

Dacs*

my s9 is fine

mi a1 was noisy af

Properly driven earphones do sound a lot better than having to Max out the volune on a weakass phone

I think customs lost my TRN V20

```I directly compared the DAC-01A to the Bricasti M1 SE and Chord Dave. There was a difference and for me it is worth the mega £ for the mega dacs but I came to the conclusion that if I had to live with the DAC-01A then I would be very happy indeed with it in my main system.

wtf is this thing

having the inputs on the side looks so ugly

i forgot how long <#365921969004216320> has been going

not sure if i want to go <#365921969004216320> or not for my next dac

Mother texted me, guess those TRN V20's finally arrived.

I'll get them after my shift ends

I'll update you guys with pictures and shit once I get home, and see how they sound.

that's the amp

the dac doesn't power anything

what

oh

you mean what nitro said
