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

2018-02-09 07:50:43 UTC  

how shit is the headphone out tho?

2018-02-09 07:51:22 UTC  

's pretty good

2018-02-09 07:51:46 UTC  

what power and z out?

2018-02-09 07:52:05 UTC  

it's just pcm2904 reference design in a box

2018-02-09 07:53:38 UTC  

>snr 96db

2018-02-09 07:53:40 UTC  

🤢

2018-02-09 07:55:03 UTC  

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

2018-02-09 07:55:27 UTC  

i dont speak robot you fucker

2018-02-09 07:55:33 UTC  

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

2018-02-09 07:55:52 UTC  

ive heard hiss on sources with 100+db snr

2018-02-09 07:56:23 UTC  

i doubt that

2018-02-09 07:56:25 UTC  

my go1k has 101db snr

2018-02-09 07:56:33 UTC  

i can hear his extremely audibly with andros and my im70

2018-02-09 07:56:57 UTC  

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

2018-02-09 07:57:19 UTC  

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

2018-02-09 07:57:21 UTC  

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

2018-02-09 07:57:33 UTC  

have you measured the source to make sure?

2018-02-09 07:57:36 UTC  

nah my hearing isnt even that good

2018-02-09 07:57:44 UTC  

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

2018-02-09 07:57:45 UTC  

i dont have an oscilliscope lol

2018-02-09 07:57:55 UTC  

you will not hear hiss at that high an snr

2018-02-09 07:57:59 UTC  

the ear simply won't do it

2018-02-09 07:58:18 UTC  

but

2018-02-09 07:58:20 UTC  

ive heard it

2018-02-09 07:58:24 UTC  

🤔

2018-02-09 07:58:25 UTC  

that's "needle dropping while a helicopter takes off a few meters away"

2018-02-09 07:59:01 UTC  

i mean, plenty of people hear hiss with stupid sensitive shit like andros off even less noisy sources

2018-02-09 07:59:09 UTC  

im pretty sure its just iem sensitivity being stupid

2018-02-09 07:59:26 UTC  

not that i can magically hear 100dB down snr

2018-02-09 07:59:42 UTC  

if it's coming from the source then they just lied about their snr or something along the line is introducing noise to the signal

2018-02-09 08:00:10 UTC  

doubt it

2018-02-09 08:00:28 UTC  

i can run my go1k off battery too so its not a power issue

2018-02-09 08:01:33 UTC  

isnt source sensitvity measured in decibel to full scale, which doesnt appy in the same way as actual volume?

2018-02-09 08:03:59 UTC  

also, is there any way to affordably meaure source gear? is it actually accurate if just using an ADC with appropriate specs, and RAA or something?

2018-02-09 08:04:05 UTC  

i sure wish dac manufacturers would name the parts they're built around

2018-02-09 08:04:29 UTC  

honestly any hobbyist-grade DSO

2018-02-09 08:04:39 UTC  

and a sine sweep signal from the source

2018-02-09 08:04:44 UTC  

dso138?

2018-02-09 08:04:54 UTC  

noooo
