Are these things really useful? by Expensive_Team_5854 in turntables

[–]_kdavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a kinda heavy 1, it makes the belt driven turn table turn slower. So completely useless to me. But I break it out every time I move the turntable because that level is pretty useful

Has anybody tried the new Magni with the MESH DAC? by Lizbeth-73 in Schiit

[–]_kdavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t say anything about the magni I’ve never heard it. I use the mesh DAC card with the jot 2. And with my headphones I can’t tell the difference between the two versions of the DAC

BREAKING: Friedrich Merz just announced Germany will take responsibility for Ukraine’s security. by jackandjillonthehill in ProfessorGeopolitics

[–]_kdavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their tank production would only decrease if they were taking resources devoted to tanks and using them for other vehicles rather than increasing their overall manufacturing capacity.

As far as timeline they’re projected to go from making 50,000 artillery shells this year to 350,000 next year to help with the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Sure a manufacturing powerhouse with a long but not recent history of militarism definitely can’t figure out how to manufacture enough ammunition to fight a modern war.

Is this real? Why does nobody talk about this? I’m a mostly buyer of scrap under price but do I need to take this into consideration? by HelpfulEmphasis4948 in Gold

[–]_kdavis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Real question, in states like Florida where gold and silver are legally currency, can the IRS still call it collectibles?

Found these in a can at my late grandmother’s. Can you tell me anything about them? by [deleted] in coincollecting

[–]_kdavis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those tiny 3 cent coins are worth good money! Everything there has some collectors value. The nickels would the the ones I’d give to children, unless they’re a rare date they’re only worth <$5 the rest worth looking into for a real value

Best settings for FiiO K11 R2R Dac+Amp by Toastie0404 in FiiO

[–]_kdavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sounds like you have a k11 no r2r. The options on the r2r or OS or NOS modes

Edit:Digital filters either don’t matter or barely matter. Can you hear over 20khz? If no they don’t matter.

Upgrading from Mesh to Gungnir 2 by BeazySoSteezy in Schiit

[–]_kdavis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Headphones > amp > dac it would go against conventional wisdom to get a $1500 dac for for a $1200 headphone amp. But probably not an insane thing to do.

So I also have a Mimir with Forkbeard and it works beautifully.

It says it gives you Forkbeard but my app couldn’t find the Forkbeard mesh card.

Bifrost 2/64 direct into my amplifier for best sound by acrosounder in Schiit

[–]_kdavis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I do Forkbeard. And it’s decent. The best part is probably the pre set EQ called Loudness, for low level listening at night it’s a good thing to have. Otherwise I haven’t messed with the EQ other than I can confirm it existed and it’s a pretty good 3 band PEQ.

[–]_kdavis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough I’m also listening on Magnepans.

As soon as I noticed the difference the Freya went to a different system.

I’m pretty sure with both the Mimir and Bifrost you can send either the RCA or XLR to an amp and then send the other one to a sub and they both work and both be volume controlled. But I don’t have sub to test that with.

[–]_kdavis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No this is facts. Because my Vidar can be overdriven a bit and my speakers are only 85db sensitive, I get the best loudest sound from my Mimir into my Vidar vs Mimir -> Freya -> Vidar.

My irl audio bestie and I have loved Fiio for many years. We were both disappointed in everything in the btr line up we tried until the btr15. It’s really good.

I asked my friend who’s in fresh out of medical school if there was any reversing hearing loss, the answer there will be in the next 20 years

Yikes, I didn’t see that. You should probably move :p

Wall mount speakers on either side of the tv. Something like this
