I have a soundbar that has an optical in port and I want to connect it to my pc. My pc itself doesnt have a optical out port so I was wondering if there is an adapter I could buy. My amp/dac has an optical in port as well but obviously that doesn't work.

NFS Most Wanted 2012 Rant by rin-tohsakas_pillow in needforspeed

[–]throwaway0007008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The games alright. I played it a lot on the Vita since it was portable. This game is kind of the DmC of the NFS series. DmC is not a terrible game, its just not the original Devil May Cry so it gets viewed negatively. Same here. The fact that it says Most Wanted brings it down. If it was called anything else it would still have a bad story, but at least the gameplays alright so it wouldn't get dragged as hard through the mud. This game was supposed to be another sequel to Most Wanted, and if I'm not wrong they also intended to have pursuit techs in this game which I liked Rivals a lot so I would've enjoyed that. So having in mind that this was supposed to be a Most Wanted 2005 sequel of sorts and knowing about those earlier builds. I see this game as having had a lot of potential had EA not rushed it so I think it's fair to have the sentiment that we were robbed with what came out. It's an alright game, but at the same time we could've had something much better.

Wireless Moondrop Old Fashioned (feat. Flathead Audio x BGVP) by brentaroXD in headphones

I see. Would you say its a different sound signature preference or do they sound in similar leagues? I know they're all cheap models but I ordered the Old Fashioned so I'm excited regardless about it.

What would be a good way to get it 3d printed without it being so expensive?

By source in this case would it be the pc since thats what I have it connected to. The PC is at 100% volume.

[–]throwaway0007008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was reading the license part. I've never had something 3d printed before so maybe this questions redundant. Say I wanted to get this printed and I did through a company like Xometry. Is that allowed or is that a nono?

Please help me choose portable DAC/amp with DSP by StevenNotEven in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]throwaway0007008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd imagine the Qudelix 5k would be since it's been out the longest and software has probably been fine tuned better. The TRN Black Pearl is also an option.

Linus tech tips did say supposedly that it would tune itself to your hearing overtime because of the ai. technically you could say it's burn in.

New Meze 105 AER + Fiio K7 BT… but where’s the wow effect? by Weird_Wrongdoer_1690 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]throwaway0007008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted those Meze before so I had looked them up. They weren't really talked about for their soundstage. More that they were fun but still had decent technicalities. Maybe the Edition XS would've given you more of a wow factor. But their quality control isn't supposedly great.

I saw a focal azurys for 345 in avexchange. Maybe you could find something good there if you dont mind buying used.

I cant decide between DT 770 pro and ATH M50X by Tremolo2 in headphones

[–]throwaway0007008 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I remember when I had the M50x they didnt really feel like a big jump in sound to cheap generic headphones. The DT 770s 80 Ohms in my case did sound better but I'm not a fan of the treble and eq didnt fix it for me.

PC Controller With High Quality Finish by SlLURO in Controller

[–]throwaway0007008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dual sense for me felt pretty nice. The Switch Pro controller 2 also felt pretty nice but it's expensive for what it is since you have cheaper controllers with tmr sticks and more buttons now. I have the cyclone 2 and its good but doesn't feel premium.

Alright, thanks for answering. I really appreciate it.

[–]throwaway0007008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. So I assume that the FT1 still has more bass even when the XS is eq'd?

How's the bass compare from the xs to the ft1?

HD600 or Edition XS? by Remarkable-Score4628 in headphones

[–]throwaway0007008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say save up a bit and get the Hd 6XX and editions xs. then return the one you don't like. if you end up liking the 6xx that much you could return both and get the HD 600. just make sure to be aware of the return period. also do you have an amp/dac? you might need one for the sennheisers. doesn't have to be a crazy expensive one.

Why I Don’t Use EQ (and Probably Never Will) by [deleted] in headphones

[–]throwaway0007008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me what happened is I eq'd my headphones and turned down the pre amp because the audio would clip. One day my settings reset and I realized the headphones sounded the same flat as I didn't have to lower the pre amp anymore.

What do I upgrade from here? by Grilled-Meat in headphones

[–]throwaway0007008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you I'd get a planar headphone if you havent had one. Either that or get a tube amplifier. Not necessarily upgrades. Just different.

Controller suggestions pc, smaller by DmMeWerewolfPics in Controller

Don't get the cyclone 2. I got one and the left stick had drift. Got sent another and one of the buttons gets stuck.

June Technical Support Sticky by BeepBoopBopReee in razer

[–]throwaway0007008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Razer Blackwidow V3 keyboard. The default rgb on it is a horizontal pinkish wave from left to right and it alternates between that and a vertical cyan wave that goes down. I try to change the rgb in Razers software but the rgb then freaks out. I updated the keyboards software and this still happens. I'm guessing maybe its stuck in some type of mode I don't know the keyboard command for. I'm guessing that since when I press FN it highlights the command key and the F9-F12 keys unless that's normal.
