also, if youre interested i could try connecting to the Zishan Z1 via i2s since im pretty sure it has support

might fix the whole delay issue

would probably be nice to get into this sort of stuff eventually

and if u could fix audio delay that would really help

tbh, dont mess with chifi source gear too much unless its just a clone of some western design

too many variables

ill order an i2s USB interface and see how it goes

youll have to hardwire your z1 tho, unless you want to do some mad modding and stick some breakout pins somewhere or something

holy fuck nevermind theyre expensive as fucc

i aint paying $10 for one of these fuckers

half the price of the z1 <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

10 aud

so like 8 usd

you can give it a go if you want but im probably not

if you know how to solder it shouldnt be hard to do

have done it just need to find soldering iron

but would that stuff u sent earlier be better than the z1?

nah

uses the same dac chip anyway

i haven't AB'd either tho

if i can figure out how to output to two DACs at once i can try

but if i were to hardwire the z1 would i need to be especially competent?

not really

it already has the i2s holes

just get some thin ish wire like cat5e or something and use good solder

and a small tip

do u have link for i2s

sure

actually im not sure if the z1's i2s is input or output

id heavily wager input

lemme check

Hey @HEKTIK you're an audio autist right, how would I go about being able to plug my electric guitar into my pc to record?

buy an interface

a used 2i2 will work well

tho apparently the second gen does instrument input way better

@TCxUFATIME

@Asse i honestly have no idea how to figure out if its i2s input or out tbh

youre probably best to just buy the dac i linked before and not deal with all the fuckery

do i need something additional or can i just buy as it is and it works?

and what usb type does it use
