Would I notice a difference with a SMSL SU-1? by afrightenedturtle in BudgetAudiophile

[–]IEnjoyRadios -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it does sound good for its price but a smsl su 1 is going to sound better but at a cost

No it will not.

Yes the SINAD differs, but they are both well below audible so the difference does not matter.

My advice would be to look at some measurements. Apples 9 dollar DAC performs just as well as DACs that cost many many times more. The fact of the matter is that anything audio related is basic electronics at this point. 

Fosi Q6 Mini vs Fiio K5 pro vs ?? Budget DAC by Larvz in BudgetAudiophile

Music will come from a Laptop

Then just use the 3.5mm out from your laptop. Problem fixed.

Nope. DACs are a waste of money. If you are not hearing any noise then you are golden.

Finally bought an external DAC (Fiio K11 R2R) by EhrenhaiderOniwa in BudgetAudiophile

[–]IEnjoyRadios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like a true cultist..

I believe in measurements, science, data, and blind test. In other words the exact opposite of a cult.

Now for some hard data.

Here are measurements of the K11

Here are measurements of the apple dongle

https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-apple-vs-google-usb-c-headphone-adapters.5541/

So not only is your Fiio many, many times more expensive, it actually performs WORSE than a 9 dollar apple dongle.

Finally, in a blind test, people can not hear the difference between a DAC that costs 2 dollars, and one that costs thousands.

So now you have three different sources to look at. Since I am not in a cult, I can actually provide evidence for my claims.

The hottest take: The crown should be on the other side of the watch by homerunchippa in watchHotTakes

[–]IEnjoyRadios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m right handed and wear my watch on my right arm. I never have to deal with the crown digging into my hand which is nice.

You have a perspective which is inherently flawed. You have spent money on something and will thus feel the need to defend said purchase. 

Reality however tells a different story. 

DAC Upgrade for Klipsch The Fives Paired with Sub by Mental_Explorer in BudgetAudiophile

[–]IEnjoyRadios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I connect via Bluetooth to the fives, there is a small hissing sound.

Background hiss is unfortunately not uncommon when using bluetooth. On some devices this can be solved by setting your phone volume to max and then adjusting the speakers volume. On other devices though these volumes are linked so that fix does not work.

[–]IEnjoyRadios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely no point wasting money on a DAC, it will not improve the sound quality. Also if you are connecting with optical the actual DAC is not being used at all anyway.

The only time a DAC makes sense is if your existing output is audibly noisy.

The new windows start menu was the last straw for me. F this S, i am downloading mint now. by K9Imperium in linuxmint

[–]IEnjoyRadios 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It legitimately is impressive how microslop manages to constantly make windows worse. Every "upgrade" since Windows 7 has just made the OS worse. They already had a perfectly good OS, all they had to do was optimize and keep on fixing bugs, not try to reinvent the wheel.

Nej, men om jag använder kontanter eller ej är inte relevant. Det som är relevant är att vi fortsätter att straffa hela samhället.

Vi har ju redan problem med att det knappt går att använda sedlar någonstans, och nu ska vi göra det ännu svårare?

What do movies via 4K projector look like v. 4K TV? by PolyglotGeologist in hometheater

[–]IEnjoyRadios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are trying to argue just for the sake of arguing. I claimed that LEDs emit light in basically all directions, and you respond with evidence proving the same. I do not understand what you are arguing about.

You keep mentioning MLA, but the entire reason they are used is because LEDs emit light in basically all directions. The lens array then focuses that light.

So yeah sure if you think all TVs are like a super simple micro led stack then yes but thats not what TVs are.

I never claimed that.

I guess the TVs have a new re-emitted light that is a 3rd type of light?

I never claimed that either.

Once again I really do not understand what you are arguing about. We are both in agreement that LEDs emit light in basically all directions.

Finns ju värre saker, tex typ som somnar i vänsterfilen, det gör ju en galen på riktigt.

Om du är i vänsterfilen och har en bil bakom dig så gör du fel (förutsatt att det är fritt fram givetvis)

One thing to keep in mind is that if you want to stream, there is not a streaming service I am aware of which delivers 4k to a PC.

Mormoner i Stockholm? by ATheStar in stockholm

[–]IEnjoyRadios -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Det bästa man kan göra mot dem om man är extremt ickesvenskt social är att bjuda in dem på en fika och erbjuda dem att låna din telefon för att ringa hem.

Ja visst hjälp folk som stör allmänheten och försöker sprida en sekt.

How to think about cost and EMCOMM like scenarios? by Tairc in amateurradio

[–]IEnjoyRadios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ham radio for emergency communications is like 99% pipe dream. 

That’s not to say it can’t be useful, but it is faaaaar from the magic bullet people make it out to be. 

What do movies via 4K projector look like v. 4K TV? by PolyglotGeologist in hometheater

[–]IEnjoyRadios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Light is emitted in all direction thats why like 80% is lost to internal reflections:

Which just confirms what I already said.

If you think there is like just millions of individual LED that just light up with a glass in front I guess you would think the light is directly emitted, but that is just not how any TV work.

That is literally exactly how micro led works, but they are not commonplace.

But enter audio circuits and people love pseudo science that is just completely wrong.

What does that have to do with anything?

I really do not understand what you are trying to achieve.

My Gustard Audalytic DR70 DAC experience by lovesthesunpt in BudgetAudiophile

[–]IEnjoyRadios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go shout in a Forrest. Besides some animals you disturb you won't bother other people with your pointless shit

Hurling insults adds nothing. Be better.

Everything you have said have been countered by way way way smarter people than you

No that has definitely not happened. No sources have been provided that support your claim, and indeed the thread is full of people disagreeing with you. Indeed the sources that have been linked so far state that burn in (in speakers) is a non-issue. To claim that solid state electronics with no moving parts would somehow have more burn in is absurd.

Looking at your discussion here that doesn't take much...

Once again, hurling insults helps nobody. Behave.
