@Cspirou You don't have to use a GPU for HQPlayer, but there's the option of offloading some of the CPU load of upsampling to the GPU, as long as you have an NVidia GPU. For PCM it's really not necessary -- a Raspberry Pi can handle PCM upsampling these days -- but depending on how high you're upsampling and what filter you're using, DSD can be a workout for even a high-end gaming PC.

I enjoyed this message. Thanks for sharing!

Has a lot more to come down. Probably will be sub-$100 soon. Their growth hasn't caught up with their stock price.

I'm fine with my brain waking up by itself --- as long as it doesn't disturb me!


(Hmmm, seriously.... maybe this is part of what dreaming is about!)

I've always listened to everything lying down. An eye mask helps. I use the one made by Nidra. A folded dark T-shirt works too, but then you have to close your eyes.

Headphones are not as comfortable while lying down, also most are seal and position sensitive.

I often listen to podcasts while in bed and IEMs are the best way. Porta Pros also work

Impressive! Moondrop really is setting themselves apart from the competition.

Moondrop is the company we all wanted Vsonic to be back in the day.

I actually expected the lackluster headphones when they announce 3 different headphones each with different technology. Focus on one ffs especially for a first headphone.

Back b4 I found SBAF, I bought an AudioGD C-2 HF amp. It played loud, but made everything sound simply awful So bad I coundn't in good faith sell it off when the time came.

I had a C-2 as well @roughroad. No dynamics at all. Current drive amps. And @Vtory you can have NFB all day, but it is still the amp design that still counts.

They don't have a good reputation I know, even over HF. I just like their looks :D

I think we have both wow and flutter covered here.

No boundary issues tho.

I watched all the way until the end but feel asleep in the middle. Did I miss the part where he got attacked by a mountain lion?

That surprised me. I thought they'd have been sold out by now.

I was just looking up availability of opamps (that BF2 also uses) and they won’t be available until October at the soonest and up to march 2023

It’s definitely supply chain issues

2/64 card is 4-6 weeks as well. You think people will start selling these for like new prices soon ?

orthos FTW

And now we'll see people selling theirs for more than they paid for them

Aren't they building them back in Ireland + Inflation?

I hope that's true! Still says Romania on the Drop product page

And you know this how? Did you get that close?

Nope just from any video of him talking. Dude not normal inside.

@roshambo123 @jexby It's this one https://english.sulalat.com/exit-13-espresso.html

They have even more expensive coffees but they're not made specifically for espresso. This blend is rich and full bodied and has insane aroma with minimal sourness which what I look for. My other beans usually half of this price.

Hmm, not where I was expecting the roastery to be ... (ꉺ⍸ꉺ)

Funding three systems is exhausting and most of my listening is through speakers and IEMs anyway. I just fear I will miss my Verite and HE1000se and then buy them again :/ .

Just keep them, but keep it static.

@Cellist88 It is static for two years now thanks to the other two systems.

Yo stop I'm on a diet...

How about the low, low price of only $32? PCM56 R2R https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKp2eTY

Opamps can be made discrete. Discrete with 140db of feedback still sounds like shit.

SMSL released their R2R DAC a few months ago. It didn’t measure “state of the art” and got slammed by ASR types. I suspect such responses sadly will ensure these companies don’t pursue this much more.

Soon, though, you'll be letting it all hang out.

@ColtMrFire Saudi Arabia :(

Celcius?

@murray I would be dead if it is.

LOL. neckbeard: "crypto is inflation resistant".
