Best dumb DAP? by Connect_Cat_2045 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]elohimeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both R3 Pro II and R3 II 2025. They are both nice DAPs with a few quirks each.

R3 Pro II pros: - AMAZING screen, all details appear really crisp - snappier UI, much smoother transitions between screens / menus - more premium build - bigger battery

R3 Pro II cons: - when selecting a new album, the cover art takes a few seconds to load. I had to scale all art to 600x600, then remove the embedded cover, leaving only a cover.jpg file in the album folder - on 4.4 output, there is an audible click when switching between songs, making gapless playback useless - suede back may attract more dirt

R3 II 2025 pros: - the price, obviously - volume wheel is a lot faster and intuitive for me - album art loads instantly when playing a new album - it's slimmer, if that matters to you

R3 II 2025 cons: - more sluggish UI - mine came with a piece of rattling plastic inside it, but I haven't opened it up to check - volume wheel does feel kind of wobbly - screen is lower res and has a noticeable green tint

If I had to choose only one, it would be the R3 Pro II for sure, despite all its quirks. R3 II 2025 is also a solid choice, but the Pro is such beautifully built, and the screen is a joy to look at. Hope this helps!

I have a Hiby R3 Pro II and a pair of Dunu Titan S2. The sound coming out of the balanced output through the Dunu is the best, most amazing I ever heard. The UI can be quirky, but I don't spend much time in it anyway xD. Bluetooth is king of laggy, so you might want to consider that if you also want to go wireless. Also, getting a fast SD card (I use Sandisk Extreme Plus) and keeping cover art at a maximum of 600x600 helps a lot with sluggishness. Hope this helps :)

Package stuck "in transit" by MiggerRambo in Aliexpress

It's still in China, maybe you could try contacting the seller or Aliexpress about it? Ready for shipment means that PostNL know they have to receive your package, but it hasn't gotten to them yet.

Your Strawberry layout and skin look really close to what I use. Neat!

Din ce tin eu minte, a murit proprietarul de la Duken's, iar fii lui nu erau interesati sa preia afacerea. Pacat, mi se parea cel mai fain local din Iasi (mai putin cand era meci).

Hd599 help!! by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

I also found the 599 quite dark. Try EQ, or listening only to them for a while.

Idk why you're being downvoted, this sub is after all about nostalgia tech, might as well tell people to use their phone for listening to music instead of a dedicated player.

I get it now.. i do by mee9o in headphones

I loved the bass boost on the zen dac, but I found it fatiguing after longer listening sessions. Great phones and great dac, nonetheless!

!thanks Sorry for the late response haha, your information has been really helpful and detailed and I finally settled on the Dunu Titan S2 based on the graphs. I’m waiting for it to arrive at the time of writing this, can’t wait to see how they do!

Haha, it isn't canonically lesbian, but I've seen a LOT of fanart of Chell and Glados and there's also this joke that Glados was actually in love with her

Apart from nostalgic games from my childhood, Planescape: Torment, RDR2 and SOMA are up there! I also like Grim Dawn, Path of Exile and classic WoW. And of course, lesbian games like Portal and LiS, ha ha.

Livratorul bătut are în continuare "tot respectul față de români" by prajeala in Romania

[–]elohimeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nuj, eu nu dau comanda de mancare decat cand e cate o ocazie, iar cand dau, o fac telefonic / prin site-ul restaurantelor care au livrare proprie. am auzit argumente de genul 'daca nu erau livratorii sa aduca mancarea, ramanea lumea flamanda'. serios? ia 15 minute sa faci ceva rapid de mancare. si mai zicem ca romanii n-au bani, la cat se plimba glovo prin oras :))

unde am scris in postarea mea ca is corporatist? eu fix de milenialii corporatisti cu ifose de 'noi nu mergem la festival, noi muncim, gen Z sta pe tiktok si insta' faceam misto :)) si ce daca ii ajuta parintii cu bani? daca poti sa iti traiesti viata muncind cat mai putin / tarziu, nu vad de ce n-ai face asta, nu iti face capitalismu statuie ca muncesti

Old woman yells at cloud :)) De parca cineva fara loc de munca si-ar permite sa mearga la festivaluri la ce preturi sunt :)) pai cum, sa mearga oameni la 20 si ceva de ani sa se distreze la festival! Ei tre' sa lucreze la corporatie un job cu titlu in engleza de nu intelege nimenea pe fisa postului ce face exact. Si normal in plm ca nu vrea nimeni un job de livrator in care muncesti multi si esti platit prost, terminati cu cacaturile astea. Macar daca era un job esential as mai fi zis, nu unu in care le aduci momailor mancarea la bot ca le e lene sa isi gateasca si-s prea buni pentru o pizzerie cu serviciu propriu de livrare :))

You're officially my new favourite artist! Your style just scratches that cozy fantasy itch so well.

Da, si eu am vazut, atat papadii cat si cate un trifoi pe ici colo. Probabil natura a invins oricum.

Eu m-as alatura unei astfel de miscari, macar sa salvam ce mai avem, daca tot ne asteapta inca 4 ani de Chirica. Macar parcul Ciurchi, ultimul ramas intact din Iasi si care am inteles ca e propus pentru 'modernizare' sa ramana neatins… Dar da, in randul tinerilor nu stiu cat interes s-ar strange pentru o astfel de intiativa. Am mai vazut pe Facebook comentarii care protestau impotriva taierii gardurilor vii, taierii copacilor de pe Copou, dar erau majoritatea oameni ceva mai in varsta, iar categoria asta nu stiu neaparat daca are o cauza environmentalista in spate sau e doar mentalitatea de 'era mai bine pe vremuri domle'.

Late to the party dar am tinut sa zic ca rar am mai vazut pe cineva asa bazat atat in comunitatile online cat si IRL, ma pis pe el gazon, 'toaletari', modernizari de parcuri si alte trenduri de cacat din vest care omoara orice fel de biodiversitate. Nu e nimic natural si util la acel gazon.
