honestly best to just use a dongle dac off your phone

or buy a lgv20 or something

tho the OLED burn in is concerning

and the possibility of bricking

Yeah I got a fiio dongle now. But I just want some dedicated device.

Dongles are annoying too tbh

fiio k1?

apparently the k1 is dog shit

the new google USB-C dongle measures well if you turn down the gain in something like UAPP

or if you rooted your phone

no

Are there any cheap usb battery banks out there

xiaomi

That is not going to be 50000

Ill check the reviews

Maybe not

Battery banks are not audio equipment

Whoops somebody directed me here

i'll kill ya

@Matthew there's a Lenovo battery bank for thinkpads with an integrated Bluetooth speaker btw

Shit

Lmao

That sounds kinda neato, actually. Like, it beefs up the laptop's sound capabilities?

>beefs up
>bluetooth
Im no audiophile but i sorta doubt this

Consumer-grade music files, you won't really notice a decrease in fidelity from a bluetooth source

if you're playing artisian fucking FLAC, you probably aren't using your Fartpad to do it

I would assume it's more something for conference calls

not for actual music

Weird question but can you charge wireless ear buds while wearing them?

depends on the buds probably

checked it on meizu EP51, doesn't work while charging

Damn, I was looking at those

How do you like them otherwise?

they're pretty nice apart from being chinked with battery

it has an extremely high discharge rate

I'll fully charge them, try to use them 2 days later and they won't even turn on

I don't know if all of them are like that or it's me in particular being chinked

they also use non ordinary eartips so you can't use regular ones

but I like the ones they have

I'm near tone deaf so battery life is probably the most important to me. They look really cool though
