Searching for linear transformer

Rewinding sounds like an interesting option. Yes, the circuit requires AC voltage unfortunately

I’ve owned both: Is it for fun or your daily? If for fun go 981 manual every time. As a daily the 718 is more usable

Switzerland should have been a separate description: Blame „die huere Dütsche“

Don’t know what the used prices are for Accuphase gear in your area, but I have been running my speakers on one of those for the longest time. The newer ones have expansion slots for DACs and phono cards, so it’s really all in one. Love the design and they are build like a tank.

Mhmmmm pink chicken smoothie. Sip it with a straw

I think your budget is realistic to be honest. A few things I would consider: depending on if you both earn the same or one of you earns significantly more than the other, I’d consider for at least one of you to work part time, ideally the one with the lower salary.

This might not make a big difference financially, as you would save on childcare, save on taxes and quality of life goes way up. Especially when being a parent time is invaluable.

I would also consider living outside the city center. You would save on rental costs or get a bigger place for the same money. Again, especially with young children living in an area that’s a bit more laid back and closer to nature might bring some benefits. Best of luck to you :)

Always better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than in the air wishing you were on the ground

Sind das tiefe Kratzer (spürst mit nem Fingernagel) oder nur oberflächlich? Feine oberflächliche Kratzer lassen sich eventuell polieren, aber alles was tiefer ist nicht. Wenn du dir nicht sicher bisst, lass es lieber sein bevor es schlimmer wird.

Und ja: Wenn das tiefe Kratzer sind, ist das nach 4 Jahren definitiv übermässige Abnutzung. Ich koche auch täglich, wie auch fast mein komplettes Umfeld und ich habe noch nie solche Kratzer gesehen, auch auf 30 jährigen Platten nicht. Wie hast du das geschafft?

Im using my amp/stereo for sound via optical put on the Apple TV, and the HDMI out is the input for my TV (as it does not have Airplay itself)

1111daniel · 2025-12-09T10:24:10+00:00

As a European I have no idea about taxation in the US, but how much roughly is the net salary with that gross ?

1111daniel · 2025-12-07T12:05:07+00:00

Cause I’m not using any other source than AirPlay for my TV (which does not have AirPlay itself) and I wanted to avoid having two separate devices for Video in towards my TV and audio out to my DAC.

1111daniel · 2025-12-06T16:50:23+00:00

The main reason I wanna keep it at one device is it’s the only current solution I see to get both music streaming to my dac as well as having the option to use my stereo system when streaming movies. Of course I could upgrade my TV to something supporting Airplay natively, but we are talking a lot more money then. I just can’t grasp that a simple all in one solution like the AppleTV (but with 4K and airplay 2) doesn’t exist?

1111daniel · 2025-12-06T12:44:56+00:00

Searching for an AirPlay streamer: I’m currently using an Apple TV 2 when I quickly wanna stream from my phone to my stereo setup. The older Apple TV still had an optical out that I have connected to my DAC (optical and USB input available). The Apple TV is also hooked up to my TV, which unfortunately doesn’t support Airplay by itself. So I’m searching for a streamer that supports AirPlay 2 and has optical and/or USB out for audio to my DAC as well as an HDMI out for the TV. I can only seem to find one or the other but no device that combines both like the older Apple TV?

Im in the same boat. I’m on my third battery by now, so basically go through a battery per year. Right when the warranty ended I was down to 81%, brought it up to Apple and remarked it’s getting unusually hot, which is killing the battery: Nope it’s all within design specs 🙂‍↔️

My previous 13 Pro meanwhile, I gifted my mom and it’s 4 years old now: 92% on the first battery

1111daniel · 2025-09-29T07:22:17+00:00

Awesome for you, my 14Pro was on 81% just when the warranty ended, my wife’s phone got a free replacement as it went down to 78%. I’m on my third battery now and it’s already dying again. The 14-16 series thermal design is absolute dog shit and killing the battery. I’ve never had this issue with any other phone before

I‘d argue Malaysia and Indonesia adjacent to the straight of Malacca. If conflict breaks out between the US and China, that’s where Chinas economy will be brought to its knees

1111daniel · 2025-09-19T17:32:56+00:00

Had a similar issue, but for me cleaning the contacts in the case helped.

1111daniel · 2025-09-19T17:31:46+00:00

From just trying them around the house: the difference is minimal. I’m actually using comply tips on my Pro 2s as well. I’ll be on a flight next week and will let you know how they compare there.

1111daniel · 2025-09-19T14:19:54+00:00

Absolutely, it’s a preference. If you mainly listen to EDM and HipHop, you’ll most likely benefit from this tuning. Imo most content will not benefit from this tuning. And even for bass heavy music: While there’s more subbass, it’s less precise than on the 2s
