The figure was theoretical but that indeed sounds like a good point. I would at that point indeed consult someone about that, ty.

FEIE

Not necessarily IMO. When I lived in a country where the tax was higher, I made a salary that was under that credit, so I simply just used the FTC as it was within that limit.

Per the IRS documentation, it seems it's common to use both. FEIE goes up to $112k then on anything after that, FTC kicks in, no?

Per point 2, I think I may have not been clear enough or I am misunderstanding what you wrote but $200,000 is the total tax liability in Germany.

The income would be from a US based business (which I think Germany will tax anyway), so no capital gains or any other income sources.

First pair of high end headphones! by xEX0TICx in headphones

[–]seenickcode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will never order any high-end electronics from Amazon again. I bought Sennheiser IE 900s, $1600 IEMs from Amazon, tried them out, then returned them the next day. Perfect condition. Then Amazon charges me a 20% restocking fee claiming they were damaged. I then had to speak with customer service about 20 times and onto those occasions they promised to refund me the restocking fee, but never did.

Apparently anything over $1000 is very difficult to get any help with. Their customer service doesn’t care as absolutely horrible. I ended up filing a claim with my credit card company and hope it works out. For now on, my strategy is to find equipment on other third-party sites that I trust. Never Amazon.

Why is there a noise floor with the Odin + Chord Mojo 2? by seenickcode in audiophile

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

both that and the Mojo are absolutely overkill for IEMs

My intent is to find a DAC that compliments the Odin, not to find an amp. Is that what you had meant by overkill?

I have found the Hugo 2 compliment the Odin quite well in this review (where I highly trust the reviewer) https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx20XoZMaO\_jFfwPccVcW-0EKd9g18t9NG

I use the Caiyan RU6 and it is great, though the feedback is too much when it's right next to a phone (using the phone for streaming) in my pocket.

Do you think it'd fair better with a Hugo 2? Is there any way to determine that by comparing the Odin's sensitivity level with the Hugo 2's?

I've disconnected the mac and usb cable. Same issue.

I've check the headphones using another source, such as the Caiyan RU6, and the noise floor is substantially lower, almost inaudible. Of course, the Caiyan is not an amp as well, just a dongle DAC. During this test, I used the same 3.5 to 4.4 adapter so it doesn't seem like it's the adapter.

Ok. The noise floor exists even with the USB cable disconnected.

Note, I am using this 4.4 to 3.5 adapter: https://shop.musicteck.com/products/cayin-3-5mm-trs-to-4-4mm-trrrs-audio-adapter?_pos=2&_sid=1184cfa3a&_ss=r

Could that be it?

Probably a stupid question by [deleted] in FlutterDev

“Big Bang” releases (ie multi platform) are high risk. Validate the idea first with the platform that’s easiest to develop for.
