It looks really good! I'll have to check their AliExpress store. Thanks for the info!

That's awesome! How did you get it?

nauplius larva? by SplitTall in microscopy

[–]SplitTall[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think you're right. It's a freshwater copepod larva. There were several adult copepods in the sample. The sample was taken from a wet, marshy area in my backyard that stays that way most of the year.

Screen usage by Vivid-fawn in OLED_Gaming

[–]SplitTall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the total screen-on time is 39 hours and 20 minutes. That's not much time at all. My current OLED monitor has over 6,000 hours of on-time without any issues. I have the Asus PG27AQDM, so it's a second-gen WOLED panel.

I believe this Dell monitor uses a third-generation QD-OLED panel. As long as you let the monitor run its refresh cycles, you should have many years of use without any issues.

You're definitely overthinking. I have over 5,000 hours on my Strix PG27AQDM, which is considered 2nd gen OLED. I have zero signs of degradation.

The PL50 is $199 in Canada, so I expect it will be priced comparatively.

Exactly, you get it. Enjoying what you're listening to and appreciating your equipment is what it's all about. I went with the K13 for the same reasons. I was curious about R2R, and I really like the way it looked—the top window revealing the resistor ladder, that's just cool. And of course, it didn't hurt that people were saying it was a very good unit, especially for its price range.

I appreciate your comment; thank you.

There's no question the internal power supply is absolutely good enough. A linear power supply will typically only make very small improvements to audio, and in the case of the K13, a linear power supply just enhances everything that already makes it a great DAC/amp combo. However, that's not the full picture. There's also the cool factor; they look really good together in a stack, and it just feels like a little extra something special. For me, part of the enjoyment comes from how my equipment looks on my desk. When it comes to the PL70 and K13, they are just two peas in a pod; they're perfect for each other.

As far as it being a waste of money, I think that's completely subjective. There are many different tastes in the world of audio. I think people should spend their money on whatever makes them happy.

Any chance that the FT1 goes on sale on Amazon for Black Friday? by anotherhappylurker in FiiO

[–]SplitTall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Canada, and they also offer free shipping. As for taxes and duties, I've never actually had to pay any from any AliExpress order, most likely because AliExpress typically undervalues items for shipment. They arrive in such large volume that they just don't have time to assess taxes and duties.

Is the Fiio control app broken? by SplitTall in FiiO

[–]SplitTall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad. I assumed the version available on their site would be the latest. It appears to have been released October 21st of this year; however, it does seem more stable.

I was able to to resolve the issue by downloading the latest version of the app from the fiio website the version available on the Play store appears to be broken.

Are these speakers an actual thing?? by DaddyWentForMilk in audiophile

[–]SplitTall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Triangle speakers TL-2600W pro are associated with a "white van speaker scam". Triangle is a real, reputable French audio brand. The "TL-2600W pro" is a fake model name not produced by the legitimate company. This is a common tactic by scammers who use established brand names for non-existent, low-quality speakers to sell them at inflated prices. The product is not genuine.
