mediaphage posted:they've put out some pretty piss-poor minis in the past so i wouldn't hold my breath. i still wonder if the next iteration isn't just going to look like an apple tv since they'll literally be using the same chips. yeah. I just want to continue having just one monitor on my desk, and have a gaming computer and very good mac. I do that right now with a hackintosh, but that's not going to be possible once they drop intel support all together in like 5 years. iMac as display sometimes would have been nice, or mini on top of gaming pc. laptop in clamshell sucks. so I guess future mac pro but that's gonna be pricy ugh

i sperged out about dacs for awhile and afaict above a basic level of capability (like, having it outside your computer case, or buying an apple product), there’s almost no difference between a $50 one and a $2000 one. it’s just more audiophile bullshit

people on forums love bench racing a dac with a 95db noise floor vs 110db, I assume they live in anechoic chambers or something because I live in a city and probably have at least 40db of normal background noise. it is possible to get something badly designed and have audible noise especially if you have really sensitive speakers but the differences are in the analog stage not the chip itself and usually involve sticking you head to the speaker when nothing is playing people all convinced they can tell the difference between akm and ess “sound signatures” is bullshit

Crime on a Dime posted:what about the difference between the apple dongle and blueooth. how would you describe the dac in Bluetooth cans i don't get your question bluetooth headphones used to be really noticeably inferior because transmission rates and lovely codecs pushed heavy compression, they sucked power, etc. better bluetooth standards and better codecs have substantially ameliorated that and i think that most people, again, would have a hard time differentiating between a high-end pair of wireless headphones and a good pair of wired ones. of course wireless is always going to be more expensive for a given level of quality

the mini is larger than the SE1 but still narrow enough to be tightly grippable. the flat edges mean your grip is more secure and the phone isn't constantly trying to jump out of your hand. you can support it from the bottom with your pinky, or loosen your grip a bit to let it drop into the heel of your palm and it'll stop there, not slide away onto the floor. and it's lighter so those actions are easier to do. after putting up with the Excess for 2 years I'm pretty thrilled with it, ngl
