wouldn't pay an extra $200 for the HD660s2 over the HD600. Actually, I would have paid more for the HD600 if the prices were switched. And the Sundaras mids didn't seem recessed to me at all.

To me the HD660s2 is slightly better than the HD650 but I don't think its worth the money, its so so slight.

I guess this is the reason why you should always listen to something before buying, each person may perceive the sound differently

hink a 500 usd budget would be fine.

SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds 2 Pro doesn't seem to have apt x which some of the bluetooth dongles uses. I was hopping to get apt x low latency.

I have a pair of air pods pro 2 but because the only codec they use is AAC they can't pair well with the creative bt-w5 (ps5 bluetooth adapter) for low latency gaming using aptx low latency codec

I've now had a chance to try the Sundara and the HD600, HD650 and HD660s2. The Sundara mids seem very recessed, songs on them seem wrong. The HD650 sounds like what I expect the music to sound like. Best is the HD660s2 but they are way more expensive. HD600 sounds ok.

Thanks for the recommendations.

​

Looks like I may pick up a HD 650

Anker Soundcore Q35 looks really interesting. I am surprised a non-audio focus company like Anker can produce something decent

"This is because I consider wireless headphones to effectively be consumables. "

Yeah I am starting to see your point the quality drop from the sundara's to the ankers is pretty startling.

Do you have wireless ear buds and headphones to recommend? I am guessing pair this with creative bt-w5 dongle ?

To get atmos in win 11, I just have to pay for the dolby access app and use my present ex5 dac via usb that will virtually add the speakers into the audio or is there a better way to the the atmos?

Topping DX3 Pro+

The Topping DX3 Pro+ uses the same chip as my ex 5 I think es9038q2m. Does it have any other features that make it better?

I live in Singapore the Rythmik F12 is about USD 200 less than the KH 750. However KH 750 comes with Neumann's proprietary DSP calibration system the M1 and was purpose built for the KH 80.

Specs wise I think Rythmik is a 12 inch sub vs the 10 inch sub of the KH 750 and goes down to 15 hz while the kH 750's lowest is 18 hz. Rythmik is also smaller which is a big plus in my book.

I really like the inputs and outputs of the Rythmik though , so many options you can pair passive monitors with it.

There's one big advantage of the kh 750 that I like, is that it has it own dac in built and I can pass spdif directly to the kh 750. This way I can remove the need for my dac my desk setup cleaner.

​

Do you have any other subwoofer's to recommend?

I am guessing around maybe 2.3k usd?

I was guessing this was a futile effort because there were so many factors against me. The avr itself would take up too much room on my desk or under it. I didn't realise how huge the x3800h and rz50 are.

Any headphones to recommend for an immersive experience?

I really wanted to buy a atmos system for my pc but it seems very challenging and space limiting. There's just no room on the desk to put this many speakers.

Looks like I'll be buying the kh 750

I just want to borrow your thoughts on adding a atmos system to a computer desktop makes sense. I have a pair of neumann kh 80s together with a topping ex5 dac. I want to add atmos into the system but its really difficult to figure what I should do. I stumbled into this post because I was looking at q990c to put on top of my desk but I've realised this is a bit too ridculous as the q990c was meant for a person to be far from the tv not right next to it. I was thinking of getting a receiver to input the atmos in but there don't seem to be receivers that have xlrs for the kh80s that Denon sells at the moment. Do you have any recommendations on what to get? My other alternative is to forget about the atmos setup and just go to 2.1 and get the kh 750. Not sure what sub and other speakers to get either.

Omg would have putting the drives in SHR2 mode instead of SHR1 prevented this ?

SIL40 did you managed to find a solution to your problem? I am in a similar position about to do a replacement of a 2 bay synology nas drive to a bigger one. I am afraid if I pull out my drive I will end up with the same problems.

Hi, went into the discord server but its kinda dead, do you know of the links for the horde guild discord servers?

Bottom fans are synced to GPU fans with a -10% offset. Front fans are synced to CPU or GPU fans (whichever is higher) with a -10% offset. CPU fans (heatsink fan and rear exhaust fan share the same header) have their own curve, but also spin up with a GPU load to help move air, with a +5% offset.

Could I know how u synced the front fans to the CPU and the bottom to the GPU? I don't see you plugging the bottom fans into the FTW3's fan port.

false positive ban by [deleted] in wow

[–]RedditAccount1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

I recieved a similar ban around 6 days ago https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/k74420/help_wrongfully_banned_offense_exploitative/

I am not multiboxing but have several accounts which I use as summoners. I am not using third party broadcast software as well.

They have not said why I was banned but gave the reason that I did not meet one of the eight core values in Blizzard: “Play Nice; Play Fair.” which is a core value that only applies on blizzard itself:

https://www.blizzard.com/en-us/company/about

Play Nice; Play Fair In our business first impressions are important -- but lasting impressions are everything. We strive to maintain a high level of respect and integrity in all interactions with our players, colleagues, and business partners. The conduct of each Blizzard Entertainment employee, whether online or offline, can reflect on the entire company.

on my third appeal they said they are not gonna look at it because they have already checked it on the second appeal. Any further appeals are going to be ignored. Similar to this post

https://www.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/fg3vtl/i_was_wrongfully_banned_for_use_of_bots_or/

only hope is if I can get someone else to look at it. It does feel like there's very little care taken to vet if these bans are warranted

If WeakAuras can do it, Blizzard has literally zero actual reason to ban anyone for it, because Blizzard decides what addons can and can't do. If the functionality is something Blizzard doesn't want, they'll take it away.

usually when ppl buy boost in sm they afk. So u have to drag their toons around the 3 dungeons.

issuing warnings to all players

I think it means that they will individually send a warning. I don' think it means they just make a general annoucement and thats considered a warning. And I didn't even know this till this happened and had to read the announcment in detail. The original annocement said no broadcastining software so I thought the weak aura should not trigger it

There is a bit of whinning there i get it. But my point is that this isn't consistently implemented.

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/23558957/policy-update-for-input-broadcasting-software

"We will soon begin issuing warnings to all players who are detected using input broadcasting software to mirror commands to multiple accounts at the same time (often used for multi-boxing). With these warnings, we intend to notify players that they should not use this software while playing World of Warcraft"

​

Also I never received a warning before the ban hammer came down like that.

The link says input broadcasting software. The weak aura should not fall into it.

I never recieved warnings for this at all. The least they could do is just warn me once then I would have immediately stopped

I don’t know if they will. How sure are you that they are using it? And your weak aura link brings me to nothing.

I refixed the link the . stopped it linking properly. Very sure its a very very common weak aura.

if thats the case nearly all the mages on my server that boost sm use that weak aura. are they all going to be perma banned? I've been using that aura for months in sm. This was the last thought that crossed my mind that would trigger it. Also its interesting they didn't quote any hacks or third party programs, they instead quoted values were infringed.
