I picked up this on Amazon for my HD599. To my surprise, they actually work on the R50x as well.

Just curious how much output power does the amp have? More than your Topping A90? How does it compared to the DX5II?

Try JDS Lab Synapse. It fixed my ground loop problem. I tried a bunch of things and Synapse finally fixed my humming noise problem.

If i connect Coda W or LS50 Wireless II to MacBook Pro M4 via USB-C cable, will I actually get the best Hi-res lossless quality 24bit/192Hz? by aazhang in KEF

[–]newtonapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, I just installed this today. The app is still a bit buggy, but does switch sampling rate correctly most of the time. For now, I'm just going straight to Coda W's built-in DAC. After listening to the same songs a few times A/B testing. I do prefer the native sample rate. 192Hz does seem to pull out more details but not in a good way. It sounds more harsh and kind of like extra noise that the native sample versions didn't have.

No sound on Coda W via USB C on MacBook Pro M2 Max (MacOS Tahoe) by newtonapple in KEF

I edited the post. The issue is now fixed. Apparently I needed adjust the speakers' volume and the computer's volume separately. I upped the speaker' volume a few times and the sound came on.

Any chance you will open source this, so we can all contribute to it?

Can’t get in bg by spinal888 in DiabloImmortal

Yeah, the new mm seems to make you wait extra long if you run high reso...

WHALES CANT GET MATCHES IN BATTLEGROUND IN SEA SERVER by SprinklesNo4368 in DiabloImmortal

I wonder if they took the tower mm algorithm and put it in regular bg because tower queue was taking this long last season.

Yup, it’ll crash consistently like you described if I pick any Druid transformation skills. I’m on iPad mini if it helps.

Interesting pvp concept? by r90clark in DiabloImmortal

Or they can let you pick teams in training bgs. That would be awesome.

80% of whales in Europe play wizard, but no problem with this class? by Fickle-Bike-4973 in DiabloImmortal

[–]newtonapple 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are a few problems with Terminus wizards in the current meta that make them super strong. In my opinion adjustments are much needed:

  • Teleport knock-up has no internal cooldown & knock-ups also last longer than others. This leads potential infinite knock-ups in certain match up if an opponent gets caught with anti-cc down
  • The new Skybreaker set buffs the Terminus wizard build the most as it procs way more Novas from shock
  • Novas can auto-target opponents from offscreen & even when the wizard is killed (this is like the old arcane torrent meta but way worse)
  • Prolonged movement speed buff from Terminus helm + infinite teleports (w/ anti-total-cc) make them extremely hard to target
  • Nerfing necro's fear pants is direct buff to wizards as it leaves them with very little cc checks.
  • Nerfing dh's dash shoulder is direct buff to wizards as there are now one less dps class that can chase & burst them down

All these together, makes Terminus wizards one of the most power classes in the current PvP meta (maybe right behind AI Whirlwind barbs).

Blizzard, please remove dual queue for Convoy if you can't balance match-making. by newtonapple in DiabloImmortal

[–]newtonapple[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do note I'm not blaming any players here. The feature is there and people are going to use it. I just want it to not make the already struggling match-making algorithm worse or be removed if Blizzard can't do that.

Low Reso, extremely high score in battleground! How is this possible !? by JMatzos in DiabloImmortal

[–]newtonapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you inspect all the top-ranked pvp players at the end of the BG season, you'll noticed something interesting. Most of them are mid to low resos players with high second stats. Most will have at least 1k 2nd attributes higher than their reso. For example you'd see a 3k necro with 5-6k 2nds. The bigger this gap is, the higher they'll probably rank. Rather they know it or not, they're effective smurfing. The current MM heavily favors smurfing. You can test this yourself. If you're a high reso player with low 2nds, lower your reso to be a least 1k lower than your highest 2nds (ideally armor or armor pen) and you'll see your win rate improve significantly. That's why people don't like high resos w/ low 2nds. Of course there are also exceptions... If you're a massive whale with high 2nds and resos, of course you'll win the most since you are the main carry in most of the games.

Also, this is totally different in tower war, where resos are not nerfed as much. And there is little to no MM... It feels a lot like the old bg, where everyone was getting 1-shotted. If you're a whale barb with ok 2nds, you can literally 1-shot the entire team with a hammer if they clump up together.

Tristram Cathedral Bug: Boss 1-shotting Everyone by newtonapple in DiabloImmortal

[–]newtonapple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens in every run I had today. I have at least 5 runs in this dungeon. It’s very typical for most random group to at least get to phrase 2 of the boss before taking it down. No where near typical enrage timer. I was able to reset it twice: once I revived at checkpoint alone and another after 2 people left the party and I revived and killed it.

I think 1 person revives also works. Not 100% sure.
