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

the sabre dac thing i linked earlier?

all you need is a micro USB cable

yeah the sabre

thought input looked like type c

nah its an upside down micro usb lol

if i were to put this in a tin box would i need some electrical tape so the circuit doesnt short?

yeah it'd be best

or any material really

you could just use some foam or something

id actually suggest double sided tape so it doesnt slide about

i used that with some kapton

so i just have the dac on some double sided foam tape?
