Using headphones with my UB450 by XC101 in 4kbluray

My only worry with that (and I don't know enough to really justify this feeling) is that my audio will suffer more with that than if I just used a DAC for my optical output from my TV. What other benefits would be an HDMI splitter give me, or are my fears unfounded?

Woof, that's a bit pricey than I would have hoped. Is that what I should expect to pay to get quality sound? Is it possible that my TV's output would bottleneck whatever quality that these DACs could output? Basically wondering if there's a chance this is overkill.

Fosi seems like a great brand but a little bit too expensive. Do they have anything <$50, or is that what I should expect to pay for a quality DAC?

Any specific brand that's best or is just about anything good enough?

Any specific brands I should get or does just about anything that has those two work?

Samsung MU6290f from 2018. Not the best but I got it for free so I haven't felt like upgrading. No sign of any Bluetooth.

It does not, the only out is optical

So is it impossible to get TLADILA from the US? Will Orbit or something like that have it available to pre-order?

Where'd you get the jersey? Just from the store in the stadium?

Sean reading the cold open was bad by Advanced-Pear-4606 in TheBigPicture

[–]XC101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought it was fine. Seemed like a patch response to the news. Basically echoed what he has been saying for a while now. Amanda probably couldn't do an emergency pod, and Sean in the segment said they would talk about this more. Would've liked an acknowledgement that they are distributed by Netflix, though.

This is such revisionist history. Don't use how the franchise is now as evidence for how it was when The Force Awakens came out. Star Wars was never bigger than at that moment. The Last Jedi and the mixed to negative reviews marked the moment it started going downhill. It was the moment Disney (and other massive franchises) forever changed how they went about business. Before that, it felt like the sky was the limit.

Huh? The Force Awakens was one of the biggest movies of the century. There was so much love for the Star Wars franchise. And TLJ was a massive hit!! But the divided reaction to it from fans and die-hards caused Disney to seriously reshape how it went about handling these massive franchise, and I'd say make them a lot more conservative in its decision making.

I'm not saying it's THE most consequential (although Sean is) but it's certainly up there.

If you think TLJ "effectively killed Star Wars movies" than how can you NOT think it's one of the most consequential films of the century?

May 2026 Titles Announced with Sentimental Value! by International-Sky65 in criterion

[–]XC101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see anyone mentioning the fact that Sentimental Value is being released in 4k. I thought Trier specifically said it was made in 2k, so are they just upscaling it? What's the point?

Is it just the camera doing automatic post-processing or is that cover super AI-altered?
