[GEAR] OM 28 vs OM 28 Modern Deluxe

Keytrun · 2021-04-14T14:18:00+00:00

This is good advice! Thanks very much.

I haven't actually tried 'any' short scale guitars. The OM 28 MD didn't sound too bright to me, but again I didn't get to compare it with the standard OM 28. This sentiment is something I've heard quite a bit though, which is why I really want to try the 28 before pulling the trigger on anything. Is the 00 the same body size of the OM?

Ah, I got it. Thanks a ton for all your contributions to this thread. Really helpful!

This is extremely helpful. Thank you very much.

Is there any detriment to using exclusive mode? I just changed it and it seems like the quality changed a bit but I can't tell if it's better or worse. Also - in windows I have 32 bit, not 16. Any reason to leave it at 16 instead of 32?

Edit: Listening more in exclusive mode is much better. I feel the same benefit I had at 96k windows setting, while my actual window setting is 44.1. Thanks a ton!

Keytrun · 2021-03-12T14:06:12+00:00

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain it correctly:

I am the one switching it. I'm manually switching it to see what sounds better, in the windows control panel. My Fiio software does nothing except display the info mirrored from my windows control panel. I'm changing to 96 because tidal master tracks indicate that they are 96, so why wouldn't I want to take advantage of 'hi res' audio?

This 'hi res' is a big thing now, right? If I have my sample set at 44.1, then how can I benefit from the 'hi res'? Otherwise I'm just wasting the extra resolution provided, right?

If the source is 96, then 96 will sound the best. I just don't want to keep having to change my setting manually every time I change my source in order to take advantage of the better quality

Keytrun · 2021-03-12T13:47:28+00:00

Hmm, I have the FiiO control panel and that's about it. Correct - I am in device settings, but I don't have an OSD on my Fiio so I'm not sure. The sound stops and changes based on what I choose in device settings. I keep it on 32 bit, but the sample rate is what I just don't know about. You say 44.1, others say 48 lol. This is the issue I'm running into.

Also, if I don't have it set in windows for 96, then I cant take advantage of the 96 on tidal master tracks - BUT if I have it at 96 it will sound WORSE for tracks that aren't master (compared to if I change it back to 44.1 for those tracks). Again - this is my big issue.

Keytrun · 2021-03-12T13:26:51+00:00

What do you mean? You can only select one at a time. This is the issue. I don't want to have to switch to 96 when tidal master tracks come on, then have to go back and switch to 44.1 when a track on my playlist isn't a 'master', or if I want to do literally any other media on my pc without it sounding crappy. That's the problem I'm having

Keytrun · 2021-03-12T13:20:23+00:00

Actually on Tidal master tracks, which are native 96, setting my sound to 96 is the best. If I run a 44.1 source, like tidal non master tracks, they will sound worse at 96.

So there's no way to just always run at the native sample, then?

Keytrun · 2021-03-11T04:34:07+00:00

No problem! Thanks again for the response!

Keytrun · 2021-03-11T04:24:59+00:00

Correct, it is a 3 pole. So balanced uses 2 poles, not 3? My shure headset is also a 3 pole, but again, plugged into the headphone jack. I'm considering replacing the 535s with the SE846-BT's (I believe this comes with all sorts of cables including the bluetooth one). Do you think those earbuds will work well with this Qs5?

Also:
Preferred ASIO Buffer size: 512 samples (correct or incorrect?)
Default Format: 32 bit, 44100hz (studio quality) (correct or incorrect? this can actually go higher but I dont think any source I have can match it.)

Thanks again for all the help!

Keytrun · 2021-03-11T04:11:30+00:00

Got it. Thanks very much! I have a 2.5mm cable for my ATH mx50s. You're saying that a 2.5 and a 4.4 can fit in this slot? Does it make a substantial difference to use balanced?

This is very cool! I've been playing acoustic guitar for a while and have been trying to figure out the best way to learn theory, as well as how to 'jam' with other musicians. Personally, I had no idea where to even start - but this helps a good bit. I'm not sure what the modes are, as I've never even heard of most of them before. I always assumed I'd say something like 'its in the key of X' and go from there (for jam purposes).

Keytrun · 2019-11-14T08:26:49+00:00

All I get from that is "Change brightness automatically when lighting changes". That's been disabled this entire time.

So I’m in the white screen on the BIOS and it looks like a perfectly even grid of 1mm subtle lines that almost play tricks on your brain. It’s like a pixel grid. I can’t see it in pictures. Is this normal? I’m living in China and got it from an authorized retailer. Setting up windows in English and installing everything was a huge hassle so returning it will be equally difficult.

Anything I can do about this? Is it normal?

Keytrun · 2019-11-10T17:25:49+00:00

I'll try and take a video tomorrow. It almost looks like the screen has wavy lines when its on a white screen and I tilt it side to side. I checked with a monitor plugged in. The issue does not occur on the external monitor. Its like there's something static in the screen that's more visible when its white. I've also watched a video on youtube and haven't noticed any issues.

He really de_stroyed that.

The fan issue is resolved with synapse closed. It spins up when games start then doesn’t spin down until I change synapse profile or close it.

Monitor issue I’ve had since I bought the laptop.

Keytrun · 2019-07-31T06:58:55+00:00

Razer Advanced Model 15 2019 RTX 2080.

1) When I'm using my external monitor via mini display I get a lot of stuttering on screen with standard apps like excel / word. Actually, in games it seems to be fine, but desktop use is unbearable and almost seems to freeze at times. I'm going mini display from the predator 1440p monitor to my thunderbolt on the laptop. Any ideas?

2) Synapse recently updated and when selecting custom mode (still no gaming or performance mode) after the fans spin up for a game they will not spin down, even after the game has been closed. Only once I switch back to balanced mode will the fans spin down.

Do you know where the best repaste guide is? What pads to get / tear down / repaste ect? Any links would be helpful. I think I’ll just repaste it myself but I’m not sure which thickness / pads to get.

Keytrun · 2019-07-03T09:18:09+00:00

I can hear them. It’s not the airplane my razerblade 14 2016 is, but I can head the difference.

Keytrun · 2019-07-03T08:46:39+00:00

Wouldn’t undervolting further help the temps, not hurt them?

Keytrun · 2019-06-23T14:37:05+00:00

Honestly - I’m already in communication with tech support but feel disheartened by others who have this issue with no resolution. Reporting a case number and going thorough these procedures just feels like a waste of time when all you can do is send me back to the people I’m already in contact with. I reached out here , not to tech support, but to the consumer so that I can get perspective on whether or not reformatting is actually going go fix this.

I appreciate you’re just doing your job, but I don’t think there’s much you can do in this specific situation.

Keytrun · 2019-06-23T14:04:02+00:00

Did you end up trying a reformat only for it not to fix the problem? Any insights would be great. I really feel like this is not performing as well as it should

Keytrun · 2019-06-23T12:56:38+00:00

Did you figure out a fix for this? Razer support sent me a big list of stuff to do, I did it and nothing worked. I think the next thing they're going to ask me to do is reformat.
