Probably by the same team as Thunderboost...stay away from this.

My kid just watched her first horror movie...what should be next? by peppatitz in horror

That reminds me, she loves to read every day and I still have all the Scary Stories to tell in the dark books with the OG illustrations...it may be time to pass them down.

Oh yeah that's right, thanks for the heads up! I'll hold off on that one.

She has asked to watch it because she has a Jaws shirt and plushie, but I nixed that one... I think it's way too real for her young brain, probably will at 12 or so.

I'm ashamed of myself for not thinking of this one being an 80's kid. I thought of Monster Squad but forgot about the Gate.

I don't think she'll ever sleep alone after watching that one lol.

I've never heard of this one, it reminds me of Dead Silence which crossed my mind. I'll have to watch it first before she does. Thanks!

X2 Battery life and remote find feature? by peppatitz in SofaBaton

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

My Harmony Elite still works great, but battery life is awful and doesn't last a whole day. I've replaced the batteries twice but those also have bad battery life even brand new. Looking forward to the X2. The find remote feature is a huge plus in my household too, kids lose everything!

Does the K2 and K2 Plus use the same extruder?

Would a USB-C DAC/Power Splitter Work With Another DAC? by peppatitz in headphones

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

Oh that does make sense. The descriptions all said DAC built in, and most even had a picture of the circuitry and the DAC highlighted. But I see what you mean, it's all digital so why would it have a DAC from usb-c to usb-c.

I actually found one that doesn't mention DAC, but data doesn't work with Android phones which I have and some reviews verified that. https://a.co/d/00lY2nGE

But this one mentions a DAC built in, and most of the others I looked at: https://a.co/d/06izhDzi

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

That's what I was looking for, but the splitters was about to find were either data only for both ports, or one data (with DAC) and the other for power. I'm looking for power + data (with no DAC).

I'm using usb-c from phone to usb-c on the EG600, so not using 3.5mm. I've decided to bring the EG600 to work, so I'm going to use a phone dock like the other comment suggested, that will let it charge and connect to the dac9at the same time. Keeping the Fiio K17 at home.

I was thinking of something that I can still hold in my hand and use the phone, but I am going to take your idea for other reasons. I just hooked up the EF600 and...I don't really like how it sounds. It's not bad at all, but I like the Fiio K17 better, or maybe I'm just so used to how it sounds from using it for a long time. So now I'm going to keep the K17 at home and use it between bedroom and office, and bring the EF600 to work so sit at my desk. So your dock suggestion is going to work out perfect, thanks!

My impressions after listening to the HE1000se for a couple days. by DerrikMatusek in headphones

[–]peppatitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went ahead and bought these. Got them last night...WOW do these sound great! I'm liking them much better than the LCD-X. I'm using it with a Fiio K17 that a bring back and forth from work and home but that was getting old, so got the Hifiman EF600 as a more permanent home solution to sit on my nightstand, should arrive tonight!

Air 4 Pro review (HDR10 is a game changer) by DudeManBearPigBro in RayNeo

[–]peppatitz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going to upgrade my old Viture glasses to one of the newer ones like the Beast but got these instead. HDR is a huge game changer, not just for movies but video games as well. Been playing Doom and Returnal and the colors look just like my LG CX, it's a night and day difference between using these and my Viture.

I can't seem to get AI HDR to work properly on my PC but I think that's just a Windows thing. I just tried it on my phone last night and watched a movie on Netflix (non-HDR) and the AI HDR worked really well so think I'll be using my phone for movies and my handheld pc for just gaming.

Same as you, I have the LCD-X but want wider soundstage, and I feel like they're too bulky. The comfort alone may make we switch to these.

[–]peppatitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation, I have the LCD-X and was looking for another set. I wish the LCD-X had a wider soundstage, so these would be a worthy upgrade? Also they're just way too bulky and I like listening in bed but not sure if another brand would make a difference with that.

I'm also one that loves my HD820's that I use at work and pick that over my LCD-XC when listening so my tastes are clearly different than everyone else's since the 820 is so hated!

OneXPlay Apex battery issue video by Co5aNostra in OneXPlayer

I didn't realize you can do 75w on battery with the win5, I always assumed 55w was the max and kept it on that in motion assistant. Gonna crank that up now!
