👀 you roll up the mountain and die
Can anyone reccomend a good dap for around $60 ?
Does anybody know of any decent wireless earbuds? Been out of the loop a while.
Preferably independent, i.e. no cable between them
AirPods Ââ„¢
@FLAK44#0182 Try and find a used Shanling M1
If not, a used Fiio X1
Benjie T6 maybe
any dac's under 30$ that isnt the zishan z1 and pcm2703?
love the zishan z1 but the delay is really annoying
oh youre using the Z1 as a dac
why not a pcm chip tho?'
some of the higher end burr browns have really nice specs
the pcm has this noise at all times
maybe i just got chinked 🤔
that's just a shit implimentation
if you don't mind not having a housing, i got a SA9023 + ES9023 DAC for like $19 AUD which works nice
and has a pretty damn low noise floor
otherwise there are a few cheap dongle dacs
no idea how they perform
but sabre chips seem to be pretty easy to impliment other than the whole glare issue
but you probably wont hear that unless you have a lot to compare with
do i find the SA9023 + ES9023 on ali?
dunno if its on there, i got it on ebay
lemme look 1 sec
price went up a bit
but i still like it
also has I2S if you ever have USB issues
that looks quite nice
is pretty decent
i dont get hiss even with sensitive IEMs
pair it with a CMOY/RA1 and youve got a pretty damn good portable amp/dac
if you want something smaller, i have one of those "MUSES" PCM2704 DACs that was kind of okay other than the stupidly oversized housing
smaller wouldnt be necessary, but where do i find thid cmoy/ra1 amp and how would i go about installing it?
cmoy is an open source extremely simple opamp based portable amp
and a grado ra1 is essentially the same with a diff gain strucutre
youll only need one if youre using headphones with a lower sensitivity though, or if you really just want a volume knob
