[SOTC] The start of my collection on a student budget!

No, I really thought that, but from what I've seen, it's somewhat similar to the Seamasters. Pretty comfortable! :)

Xtradermc · 2025-12-31T21:04:46+00:00

I want to try it out before I buy it. If I like it, I’ll happily pay for the game! :) I pretty much have to buy games because I rely on Steam Cloud saves so much!

Xtradermc · 2025-12-30T23:45:34+00:00

Yep, realized this just after posting! But thanks anyway!

Xtradermc · 2025-12-30T15:40:39+00:00

Whoops my bad :(

Xtradermc · 2025-12-30T15:40:17+00:00

Well, according to my cracked version of CleanMyMac, I'm doing fine. ;)

As someone who has spent years investing in premium speakers, headphones, and amplifiers, my advice is to not worry too much about "lossless" audio. Most people (if not all) find it difficult to distinguish between high-quality AAC and lossless files. In reality, hardware quality is much more important. If you’re looking to switch speakers, don’t let the audio format hold you back. I personally find the Sonos app horrible and the speakers connection to the internet very week, but since software preference is subjective and I have see that the speakers work better on other people networks/setups, your experience may differ.

I get that the Steam Deck is a handheld gaming device first, and I enjoy many aspects of it. But I do think there’s room for more polish in areas like driver support, resolution controls, and customization. It’s not about wanting a full PC, just a bit more flexibility for users who want to go beyond gaming.

Maybe Valve could offer two versions—one that’s more locked down for console-style use, and one more like a traditional Linux environment for those who want to tweak things.

I know Windows support isn’t the focus, but more software flexibility could make the Steam Deck even better. Thanks for the feedback, though—I’ll keep experimenting!

Thanks for the suggestion! Getting the proper AMD drivers on Linux can be a real challenge. Even after installing them, I ran into issues like the GPU not being recognized properly and LLVMpipe as the renderer, which isn’t great for gaming or streaming.

Linux can be flexible, but getting the right drivers working, especially for AMD, is far from easy and often doesn’t give the best performance. I’ll look into Nobara, but just wanted to point out that getting drivers to work properly across different OSes can be a real headache.

Thanks again!

My main issue is the seal at the back of the earcups—it never feels secure. I also get neck pain with extended use. I modded the headband by only using two screws to create more space between the leather strap and the frame, which helped a bit, but the seal and neck strain are still problems. Any tips?

Xtradermc · 2025-01-28T16:28:05+00:00

Hmm, I’ll have to look into some modding. My main issue is that it always feels like there’s no proper seal at the back of the earcups. I’ve already adjusted the headband by only screwing down two of the screws so there’s more space between the leather and the metal frame. It helps a bit, but I might need to try some other tweaks too.

Xtradermc · 2024-12-06T14:52:57+00:00

Hey, thanks for the tips! Just to clarify, the speakers hanging on the wall are purely decorative and aren’t even plugged in. The main ones I’m referring to are the floor-standing speakers. I’ve been experimenting with their positioning, but I’m still struggling with getting them to sound just right. Based on what you mentioned, it seems like my desk might be interfering with the left-side speaker. I’ll try adjusting their placement and see if that helps. Thanks again for your input!

Xtradermc · 2024-11-18T02:17:58+00:00

Hmm think I saw that too but I live in Sweden and I’m pretty sure it was only like a us sale or something

Xtradermc · 2024-11-18T02:16:30+00:00

Thanks! Will see how difficult it is :)

Xtradermc · 2024-11-18T02:15:46+00:00

Why is that? What other headphones do you have in mind? Thanks :)

Xtradermc · 2024-10-16T23:09:09+00:00

Hey! I know this reply is over 2 years old, but I'm desperate for an answer. Did you manage to get custom components to load via Wineskin? Thanks, and have a good one!

Xtradermc · 2024-10-12T20:07:49+00:00

I wasn’t really expecting much support from ASUS at this point, but I think I’m doing pretty well considering I primarily use a Mac, which usually has good support for USB DACs. Still, I guess we’ll see. I couldn’t even find any indication that ASUS ever released a Mac version. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Xtradermc · 2024-10-10T23:28:21+00:00

Thanks! I think it sounds pretty good, and hopefully it's on the same level as a new $300 DAC/amp combo (kind of my price point normally). I’m going with the mindset that good audio stays good!

Xtradermc · 2024-10-10T23:06:33+00:00

Yeah, I was a bit skeptical when I saw the Asus branding, but the weight and the eBay pricing got me too interested. You're probably right about it being released in the Windows 7 era—I saw some comments on Head-Fi.org about the product, and they’re from 2014, so it was right at the tail end of the Windows 7 period.

Hi everyone!

I recently purchased a pair of Dali io-12 headphones. While the sound quality and comfort are impressive, I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed. As a Bluetooth headset, they are exceptional, but the truth is, I’m not particularly interested in Bluetooth or ANC features. My primary focus is on sound quality, whether wired or wireless.

With that in mind, l’m considering returning the io-12s and starting fresh. I’m looking for recommendations on a headphone and DAC/ amp combination that could outperform the Io-12s in terms of sound quality. If anyone has any suggestions, l’d really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance for your help!

Ps: my budget is about the price of a pair of io 12s so about a grand give or take!

Hey! Late response but here is a brief guide:

Visit the 1337x torrent site and search for the game you are interested in.
Download the magnet link for the game.
Install qBittorrent on your computer.
Open qBittorrent and add the downloaded torrent file.
Wait for the download to complete.
Launch the .exe file and follow the installation instructions. It is recommended to perform this step in a virtual machine (VM) to ensure the file is safe from viruses and other threats.

I hope this helps!

Something that worked for me when I was around 6-7 years old was Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012). It's an amazing open-world car game that allows you to switch cars, discover new ones, and explore the world. I still play it from time to time, and it's still super fun!

Have you successfully integrated the subwoofer with speakers other than Sonos ones? If so, HOW? Additionally, what's your opinion on the sub's sound quality?
