I can hear the mi a1 noise now lol

fuck if I'm gonna carry a DAC with my phone, or use a dongle

shit, my 2 year old S5 Neo's headphone output is excellent

there's no reason Xiaomi can't do better

i wouldnt bother for general portable listnenin

tbh

You should hear the dongle that comes with the Mi6

Absolute garbage

Fuck Applel and fuck Xiaomi for being a sheep

the googlew pixel one is meant to be good

Where can I get a good DAC for not too expensive?

define expensive

define good

@Silent just get a behringer UM2 tbh, dont waste money on snake oil

get a pixel 2 dongle

12 bux ez

headphone out, mic+instrument inputs, phantom power, mixer, like $20

how shit is the headphone out tho?

's pretty good

what power and z out?

it's just pcm2904 reference design in a box

>snr 96db

🤢

if you were an oscilloscope and not a human with a brain that automatically processes the signal and changes its sensitivity on the fly that might be a problem :p

i dont speak robot you fucker

96dB snr is plenty good enough for monitoring recordings, let alone listening to musics/games

ive heard hiss on sources with 100+db snr

i doubt that

my go1k has 101db snr

i can hear his extremely audibly with andros and my im70

either the hiss was part of the signal or you're introducing it between the source and youe ear somewhere

its from the source, and the only thing between the source and my pc is a usb hub

or i guess you have the legendary Golden Ear, but i doubt that

have you measured the source to make sure?

nah my hearing isnt even that good

because if so: it's got a snr lower than 100dB

i dont have an oscilliscope lol

you will not hear hiss at that high an snr

the ear simply won't do it

but
