But expensive since I want 32 GB RAM etc:p

My setup works fine, even run some VM's to learn stuff

Maybe I'll get something new once Intel come with some CPU's where Meltdown is fixed

ive got a ryzen 1600

i might upgrade to a 8700k at end of year

if funds permit

or just get a gaming laptop

settle down boys we aint #pc-fi

i hope my earbuds come soon

KZ ATE mmcx is a no go

its ever so slightly too big

fixed connectors > deatchable

thats why i only buy computers with potted components

apple ftw xD

@bentech how much are you going to sell your ryzen cpu+mobo for fam <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

ill prob just keep it tbh

got z87 pro + i7 4770k... its pretty good

i just need faster harddicks

decided to take apart one of the steelseries usb soundcard v2 units

very cute little pcb

big chip is conexant cx20873 dolby turnkey IC

small chip on top side is conexant cx20745 i2s codec

reeee

Mmm lines

What exactly am I looking at here

a frequency response graph

So if I want something good the line is supposed to be as straight as possible?

not quite

that's just frequency response alone

and my rig is a flatplate so it doesnt account for any outer ear interactions, which means the upper midrange and treble will never be properly accurate

but flatter = better in a general trend

oh alright

thanks

freq response isn't as important as distortion
flatter response tends to come hand in hand with low distortion because flat responses target people who care about quality, but I'd look at distortion first then see if the FR works for you

i cant do proper distortion plots atm because my room noise is too high :(

well

tried to take apart my broken zircons

don't do it

lol
