plz no crucify
@Tonmonkeyla bluetooth only transmit digital music, there's always a dac on your headphones
Tonmonkeyla: You're right, it doesn't matter. And I'm not so sure all bluetooth headphones has DAC, since bluetooth is digital anyway when it's transmitting. But every bluetooth headphone has a built-in sound card
@Kaytee i mean, i've been able to identify dacs in a blind AB a fair few times. mobo line outs included
I wonder if there are any cheap Bluetooth headphones out there with a quality DAC
@HEKTIK if anythng you've been hearing bad amp stage or ground loop etc, not the dac itself
dacs themselves are essentially off the shelf perfect beyons humans' ability to hear
didnt sound like a ground loop
but yeah amp stage maybe
you can measure em to be so
i should get into measuring sources
amps are a lot more vartied and easier to screw up
i already do a lot of transducer level stuff
a dac is generally just an off the shelf IC from TI and measurably perfect on its own
yeah ive been able to reliably ab amps a lot more now
shits weird
amps people do all sorts of dumb shit like having teeny tiny rail voltages or picking up noise on the inputs
i still love the cmoy/ra1
so stupid simple
and sounds legit good
my main gripe with the cmoy is the low output current keeping you from really driving some of the crazier cans
it could use a buffer amp
yeah
i like it more than the o2
aside from that is a good simple design
o2 sounded harsh
i dont get why
since its supposedly a cmoy on crack
im not enough of a sourcefag to care tho
i mean a cmoy on crack would just be parallel'd opamps or a buffer
latter being better former being cheaper
well, latter being better* *if you use a suitable buffer amp ic
*and have power supoply set up to handle as much current as the buffer will be providing
*and have headphone that benefits from high output current to begin with
muh planars
cmoy into he6 is endgame 😏
isn't the o2 supposed to be a wire with gain?
if you believe nwavguy, sure
i like it when my bass is nice and juicy and meaty and nutty and crunchy and gritty and smooth

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
