synthetik posted:Kinda a takedown of a small 'audiophile' bullshit - response to an article applauding the removeal of the 3.5mm jack on the iphone7. i dunno if that's audiophile bullshit as much as it is just lovely management. They tasked a design columnist to write about tech stuff, she clearly just doesn't know what she's talking about and cobbled together a bunch of random sources and marketing bullshit into an article. It happens all the time.

Moo the cow posted:Would this work on an Android phone such as a Huawei, using a USB C to micro adaptor? It works on my android phones that have usb-c just fine, but an adapter might change things. I used one as a desktop dac for a while through a usb-a adapter and that worked, so who knows? It definitely does not have enough oomph for anything but iems and other sensitive headphones, but it's really good for those. If it could put out a proper 2 volt line level i'd use it for everything. I keep one in my laptop bag to bypass the dogshit noisy rear end lenovo headphone port. It's 8 bucks! It's the only good cheap thing that apple makes!

movax posted:Man, gently caress it — I'm just going to build my own balanced pre-amp / source selector / remote-controlled volume control thing. The hardest part will be the enclosure. make sure to glue a lead wheel weight in there, call it a "crystalline lead ground isolation chamber" and start your prices at 8k

It's just not very powerful, its max output is around half of what you would expect from a normal line level source. The volume you do get is very clean though, so if you have IEMs or other sensitive headphones (which is the vast majority of them) it's great. Or, you could run it to an amplifier, which would then run at half mast so to speak. Might not matter to you.

LRADIKAL posted:So to be clear, this thread only deals in pseudo-science and magic, not in spending massively outside of price/performance? He's NOT an audiophile? Audiophiles don't buy offbrand anything, and an overpriced DAP is a tiny drop of morning dew clinging to the edge of a buttercup compared to the tsunami of bullshit that is audiophile cables. At least it does something.
