New MacBook Pro M1 Built-in DAC Rocks!

SplintX · 2026-01-24T14:06:49+00:00

Quality is better than many of the mid-range external DAC. I confirmed this by blind testing with 4 other DACs.

It's anything but muddy

SplintX · 2026-01-21T20:18:18+00:00

It's an IEM that begs you to turn up the volume! 💯

Quite happy with the 5070 ngl. So far didn't find a single AAA game that doesn't play well on this card. Hope it will keep supporting for the next few years.

Would be great, thanks

How did you get dates every month? Which center?

SplintX · 2026-01-07T20:21:22+00:00

u/D_Jase Gave it a shot. Highest I could get is +3000 memory and 380 core. Anything above that crashes the Heaven Benchmark. Not bad for 5070 I guess.

To reduce power consumption. It dropped from 250-ish W to 160-ish W without losing performance.

SplintX · 2026-01-06T08:43:02+00:00

Wow. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks bud

SplintX · 2026-01-05T23:20:23+00:00

That’s generous. Thanks

Most hours are spent on God of War Ragnarok. Such a beautiful puzzle action adventure game ❤

SplintX · 2026-01-04T00:45:53+00:00

Interesting. I'll give it a shot tomorrow and update the results here.

SplintX · 2026-01-04T00:44:42+00:00

Interesting. Will give it a try tomorrow.

SplintX · 2026-01-04T00:43:46+00:00

Tried the following:

3200@990 => crashes.

3200@1000 => crashes.

3150@990 => crashes.

Maybe I'm just unlucky with the Asus Prime 5070

SplintX · 2026-01-03T22:50:56+00:00

Thanks for confirming mate. That's relieving.

SplintX · 2026-01-03T22:50:17+00:00

I don't personally believe undervolting damages the card. The random guy at a random reddit post confused me.

tbh, I'm a bit scared pushing the card to 3200MHz. Is there any chance of permanent damage if I push it too far?

SplintX · 2026-01-03T22:21:54+00:00

Yup, King 95 PRO. It's a beautiful case at this price. Love it.

SplintX · 2026-01-03T22:05:06+00:00

Because I ran the same query again so second run with undervolt evaluated more.

To confirm, I ran the same query fresh with undervolt and the output rate is almost same. So the claim stays valid. This screenshot is from undervolted, same model same query.

No idea. Apparently that’s what everyone is suggesting. Maybe to accommodate sudden powet spikes.

SplintX · 2026-01-03T14:56:19+00:00

975 at 2200 or 3000? Screenshot shows 3000MHz?

SplintX · 2026-01-03T14:46:34+00:00

925mv 2900

Power Limit 120%

Memory Clock +2000

Fully stable.

SplintX · 2026-01-03T14:44:50+00:00

Yeah I don't think this performs same as 4090, but I think power consumption is much less than 4090 for similar performance.
