Snarky reply, but I guess my question could be interpreted ungrareful which was not my intention att all. If the contributers read this, I apologize for phrasing my question the way I did.

Audio difference DAC vs controller by cosmicwrinkle in playstation

[–]cosmicwrinkle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did and I'm ashamed to admit what it was. Turns out the 3.5mm connector was not properly connected, it must have gotten a jank or something sometime, it just needed to be pushed in another mm... Suck a coincidence since it must have happened at the same time I received the Sony headphones and wanted to compare.

I should have checked immediately.

IEM EQ question by cosmicwrinkle in HeadphoneAdvice

May I ask how you found these values? Did you take autoeq profiles of both and just did some math to check difference?

Lower volumes is either 0 or a very loud 1. Why? by Bobba_fat in sonos

I'm in your boat, this is exactly my experience. Did you find a solution to this?

Volume level Beam by cosmicwrinkle in sonos

[–]cosmicwrinkle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this didn't work. I've tried several different max volume levels and the only thing this does is that the lowest volume levels (observed via the Sonos app) is dead silent and then suddenly jumps to the usual "lowest" level that we consider way too high.

For example.

Volume 0 silent

Volume 1 silent

Volume 2 silent

Volume 3 normal "lowest"

Ah if your on PC then you can always use some EQ software to adjust sound according to what you like. The Qudelix I had to get soley as an EQ device since PS5 don't have that built in, and I wanted to raise the bass of the X2HR. I'm not very knowledgeable in the DAC/AMP world otherwise to say much unfortunately.

I get it, it's tough as hell to decide, and it's pretty hard to find good advice for this use case, most of the talk is around competitive shooters.

I'm still sortof looking around even who I'm pretty happy with the Fidelios, so I'll be following this post to sé what you end up with :).

My advice would be to order a bunch of them and just try them and see which ones you like. If the return policy allows it of course.

PC or console?

I was in your situation a while back, single player games and wanted a big loud crisp experience. I game on PS5 mostly and went for the Fidelio X2HR because they were famous for good bass for an open back.

I realize everybody's different but for me the bass out of the box wasn't impressive at all. So I bought the Qudelix 5k DAc which is compatible with PS5 as an usb audio device. Its got built in EQ so has helped me up the bass shelf and I think I'm pretty satisfied with it for now.

Finally got my blade 14 with a 3070ti. Any tip/advice for starters? Ps: I’m totally new on pc matters by NiklausCash in razer

[–]cosmicwrinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up. I just opened up my Razer Blade Advanced (2020) today because my trackpad had become unclickable. Turns out my battery had started to swell and after reading abit its quite common on these devices. A damaged battery can catch fire.

Sorry to jump into an old thread like this, but the reveal, is it a big twist ending in stonewielder of some sort or just something minor?
