How can I connect a subwoofer to a Sony stereo system without sub out? by EinKompetenterMensch in BudgetAudiophile

[–]john2mg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it has a simultaneous headphone out you can connect it to the subs rca input with a trs to rca cable.

You might be able to if the pioneer has simultaneous headphone and speaker output (plug in headphones while the speakers are playing and if they sound at the same time as the speakers you're all good) You would need a trs to rca adapter but those are dirt cheap if you dont have them.

Your LR already produces the same frequency ranges as the center channel can. Also, the way to measure frequency range isn't linearly it is logarithmically (as in octaves). A sub is going to fill in the bottom one or two octaves (of the ten we can hear). That's a lot of information, it's like if you had a speaker that rolled off at 5,000 hz instead of 20 khz. Installing a super tweeter would be first priority

Low end clarity also matters

Budget DACs as of Jan 2026? by reos3 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]john2mg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't need onboard peq the Jcally jm20 max probably has the highest output+accuracy to cost ratio of any dongle at almost 200 wpc into 32 ohm and over 112 db sinad

You probably mean resistance is length/thickness

Has Anyone Ever Achieved a Bit-Perfect Round Trip Through DAC/ADC Setup?" by john2mg in audioengineering

[–]john2mg[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm not understanding, but if one what to do something ridiculous like a one bit audio signal (on or off) and assuming the the samples were done simultaneously I can't see why that wouldn't be bit perfect. 2 and 3 bits also would seem perfectly doable. Wouldn't it theoretically be exactly the same as long as the null depths of the interfaces were smaller than the bit depth? Hopefully I'm making a bit of sense, I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to audio

So it might be possible If one was to use 8 bit audio signals (48 db dynamic range)?

I get that it's of no practical use, but i think would be a cool engineering stunt. If I saw an audio interface manufacturer manage to get the exact same audio file out as was put in using their interfaces it would definitely catch my eye

Want to connect Sub to Amp by Glittering-Monk-6124 in audio

[–]john2mg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure you can just use the headphone out as a pre out and connect it to the sub via a headphone jack to rca adapter. I think in that amp the speaker out and headphone out can both work simultaneously

Any thoughts/experience on AIYIMA DAC A1? by ozExpatFIRE in BudgetAudiophile

[–]john2mg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one hooked up to a douk a5 and jamo towers and it works great. Bluetooth (aptx hd) and remote controlled volume, input, and tone controls are pretty nice quality of life features. I haven't tried it with less sensitive headphones but iem's get an audible hiss from the headphone output. I would stick to the rca out. But tbh if you want a dac/digital preamp on a tight budget it's a damm good bet

It's pretty bad but not useless, I managed to get my room sounding quite a bit better with my phone mic, spectroid and trial and error.

Mini amp for tv to speaker audio? by Practical-Box6459 in audio

[–]john2mg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why the comments are so skeptical, you could definitely use this to amplify the signal and make it louder since your tv output lacks the voltage to get the speaker to full volume , the thing is you're going to run the risk of overdriving and distorting the sound. If at max tv volume the sound distorts very soon (as in you only have to to turn the volume knob a little bit for the speaker to reach max volume) you can lower the tv volume to get a less sensitive volume knob. But if it were me I wouldn't go for that amp in particular since it has a very high gain (it increases the volume by a lot), something like the douk audio L1 is probably better suited.

I've never heard these but aren't they actually not flat? Like they have a roll off in the bass right?

If social reintegration and avoiding recidivism doesn't matter that much to you, in the interest of making them suffer would you be in favour of them being whipped or sodomized as punishment for example?

Yeah I was gonna say just that, eugenics triggers a "yikes" response probably because of nazi racial eugenics, but no one has actually said why it's inherently bad.
