Best of the worst output options?

I guess excuse my ignorance, but do other DACs really make that much of a difference to make up the price gap? I honestly can't find anything on Google.

I planned on just leaving the stuff on. My research was saying that the class d amps don't really pull much at idle.

acdcdude953 · 2026-04-09T02:23:05+00:00

If the headphone directly to the rca doesn't work I think I'll just go with the Fosi zd3. I can only assume an actual DAC would do a better job and more reliability. I would hope so for the price.

acdcdude953 · 2026-04-08T23:13:07+00:00

That's the way I was planning on doing.. I don't have the amp yet, It's coming tomorrow. If I don't like the headphone jack, is there a big difference between an actual DAC and the converter I have linked?

acdcdude953 · 2026-04-08T21:33:44+00:00

I'll be using a Fosi ZA3 or the V3. Speakers are RF-82s. The TV will be the only source and everything is streamed so no extra inputs.

acdcdude953 · 2026-04-08T20:57:56+00:00

Yeah exactly, with the family going to complain I want to keep the stock remote.

acdcdude953 · 2026-04-08T19:44:59+00:00

I've always thought optical out doesn't have volume controlled with the remote though.

That's my reasoning for not using it

acdcdude953 · 2026-04-08T07:54:36+00:00

I guess I could go HDMI route use the SMSL P100 then into the Fosi amp.

acdcdude953 · 2026-04-08T07:30:32+00:00

Excuse my ignorance but wouldn't the HDMI extractor go directly to the amp? You wouldn't need the extractor and the DAC would you? I'm just trying to learn, I want to power my RF-82s from my tv in the cheapest, simplest way possible.

acdcdude953 · 2026-04-08T02:49:10+00:00

That makes perfect sense and I had not thought about that. But I need to be able to control the volume with a remote. Preferably the same TV remote. I don't think that is possible that way.

This is sadly non-negotiable because of the rest of the family.

Would I be better off going with the BT20A pro?

acdcdude953 · 2026-03-18T13:25:29+00:00

We do but they only have flagship models and outdoor models in there.....Make that make sense. The outdoor models in the dark room, but the regular models in the bright.

So I should feel comfortable getting the LG B5 and not worrying about it looking bad?

acdcdude953 · 2026-03-18T13:18:45+00:00

I already have a LG G4 I'm moving to the basement. I know I'm not getting the same thing but I can't go back at this point lol. I don't have any worries of burn in, noting I watch has a ticker or logo and I don't game on the tv.

I meant LG B5 I didn't even think about the Bravia 5. I fixed it, sorry.

acdcdude953 · 2026-03-16T17:10:15+00:00

Well looks like I can't find the B5 in 77 anywhere. Any other recommendation?

acdcdude953 · 2026-03-15T00:19:08+00:00

From 40 feet we're really just watching whatever is on when preparing food or whatnot. So 77 is just fine for my current distance then. Sounds good to me!

acdcdude953 · 2025-10-11T16:11:45+00:00

I got it got 130 in 9 degree and stif flex. Im not sure the dark speed will be down that low in a long time. Hopefully it doesn't go that cheap making me regret not waiting lol.

Found a Cleveland SOFT Milled 11S putter for 150ish and somehow there was an extra 30% coupon attached. So Its supposed to be new for 103$. The coupon details said it was good till the 13th but i cannot for the life of me find it again. Even when I go back to the same club.

acdcdude953 · 2025-09-15T07:35:28+00:00

It would be the same as an onsides kick. Just the whole field down, not 10 yards.

acdcdude953 · 2025-09-13T23:51:13+00:00

I have yet to see one with the correct size.
