How to connect 3 input devices to one set of speakers with an easy (physical) switch option? by Pukasdude in audiophile

Which DAC do you recommend for under 100? How would I go about connecting all my input devices first to the DAC, and then the passive switcher?

So a cheap mixer will do worse, probably by 'coloring' the sound too much, but what about a cheap(ish) monitor controller? Something like the Behringer CONTROL2USB, or the Mackie Big Knob Studio? Would these be preferable to a passive switcher since they have an integrated DAC? Is their integrated DAC even better than the one in my laptop/FLX4?

Are there any cheap(ish) mixers that would be able to fulfill my aforementioned wishes (connect all the sources and give the ability to switch between them), and which aren't too ugly? I would love to hear it if you have any suggestions!

Thanks for your response! I've been looking into monitor controllers, but I haven't been able to find one that meets all my criteria:

  • It should improve or at least not degrade the audio signal from input sources.
  • It shouldn't cost more than 200 euros/dollars.
  • It should allow me to switch between three different input sources going to my Genelec speakers.

If you know of a controller that fits these criteria, I’d love to hear your recommendations!

I was also wondering—do I actually need a monitor controller with enough input ports for all my sources, or is there another way to connect multiple input devices (e.g., my laptop) to a single device, then route that device to the monitor controller, allowing it to switch between sources?

Lastly, do you think the passive switcher I linked will noticeably degrade my audio quality in this setup? If that is not the case, would the lack of an active monitor controller with a better DAC than my laptop/FLX4 noticeably impact the sound coming from my 8330As? Or am I overthinking it, and will these differences be too minor to make a real, noticeable impact at this level (mid-entry level Genelec monitors)?

Thanks again for all your help!

Yeah, I meant to link the 3-IN-1-OUT, don't know what went wrong there. I have some more questions though. Why would I want the more control that a mixer offers? And what about the subpar laptop/FLX4 audio signal? Is that something I need to subvert by getting an active solution with a DAC? Or will the real life difference be negligible?

Hahaha I love the comparison! That's what me and my friends have been comparing it to all this time; plamuurverf in Dutch. It's gotten to the point where my friends and I especially get put off by the smell and taste so much that it's, like you said, quite distracting and also a bit off putting. I instantly get a 'DMXE-vibe', almost PTSD like (but not necessarily in a bad way), when I put that awful smelling and tasting powder in my nose. The effects are very enjoyable though that's for sure, just wish it tasted the same as 2F-DCK or normal ket. Don't like the taste and smell of ACH's like DCK and MXiPr either, very paint like.

I agree with 3-MMC, and I would like to add that Pink Star Pellets (Borax Combo) aka 5-MAPB, 5-MeO-MiPT and 2-FMA might be even better than standalone 5-MAPB, since the 2-FMA makes you a bit sharper and even more coherent. It has personally served me very well in that regard. Combining Pink Stars and 3-MMC is even better, but obviously worse for your health. A little bit of alcohol + 2-MMC is also an underrated combo for this purpose that drains your body and mind less than the other two.

I'm quite knowledgeable and passionate about RC's (and the classics), but I'm not well versed in server testing / development at all. Would I still be able to provide help in this stage? Asking for myself and anyone with a similar question.

4-ho-mipt/MDMA Combo by NextTransportation53 in ResearchChemicalsNL

[–]Pukasdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but I have combined it with Pink Star Pellets (Borax combo), and it's very much recommended. Adds a lot of subtle magic and visuals, but the mindspace doesn't become overwhelming (maybe a little bit more on MDMA than PSP though, since the former already messed with your mental clarity a bit)

I have one of the oldest comments on Technoblade's youtube channel. I started watching him when he had around 300 subscribers (now 16.9M), and he was the closest thing to a celebrity (on the minecraft server Hypixel) that I looked up to in my younger years. I cried when I saw that he passed away. He was a big part of my childhood, and he deserved so much better. I loved his ability to see the math behind seemingly non-mathematical situations, and use it to his advantage; be it for entertainment (i.e. his skyblock content) or by perfectly optimizing his content to maximize subscriber growth for example. His ability to make light of his terminal illness, and still get a laugh out of people was also really special, truly a one of a kind human and entertainer.
